What’s the deal with Manuka honey and what is MGO and its health benefits?

I’ve been getting a ton of ads for this “new” honey and its claims for health benefits, but I can’t find what those specifically are. According to the prices, clearly the higher the MGO #, the better, but what is it supposed to do? And does it even do it or is it snake oil? Anybody have experience with this?

UMF # also seems important, but again, wtf is it?

I've seen commercials for it. Sounds like a scam.

Manuka honey is not really new.Wound care nurse at hospital I worked at used it to help heal leg ulcers about 15 years ago.
Friend of mine used it to help heal diabetic leg ulcers on her father,worked well.It was expensive,$25.00 for a 1/2 pint if I remember correctly.
As far as any other health benefits,I never heard of any.
Problem is there is a lot of counterfeiting going on.It is produced primarily in New Zealand and more of it is sold than is actually produced.

Agree with 75 - mainly used in wound care applications from my experience.
