Does peanut butter have healing properties?
Answer:
Peanut butter doesn't have healing properties but what you are describing is a pica. A pica when you crave something, peanut butter is mostly protein so maybe your body is doing something with protein.
Here some information that I found:
Theories about what causes pica abound. The nutritional theory suggests that nutritional deficiency, such as iron deficiency, trigger specific cravings. Some evidence supports the hypothesis that at least some pica is a response to dietary deficiency - nutritional deficiencies are often associated with pica and correction of that deficiency has improved symptoms. Some pregnant women, for example, have stopped eating nonfood items after they were treated for iron deficiency anemia, a common condition among pregnant women with pica. However, not everyone responds when a nutritional deficiency is corrected, which may be a consequence of the behavior (rather than the cause). But there are also people with pica who don't have a documented nutritional deficiency.
i guess cravings from your hormones. it will eventually go away.
Watch out for some serious weight gain from doing this. I am not aware of any healing properties of peanut butter.
antibiotics are much better for an infection.
That is called pica. Pica is when you crave something that may not be normal. be thankful yours is peanut butter and not dirt, or clay...anyway...PB has protein, but is pretty high in fat. It can also be constipating. i'd drink plenty fluids, and if you are feeling any other symptoms, I'd see the good ole' Doctor!
Peanut butter provides protection against cardiovascular disease due to high levels of monounsaturated fats and Resveratrol. An excellent source of protein, and vitamins B3 and E, peanuts also contain magnesium, folate, dietary fiber and arginine.
Peanuts also contain high levels of an antioxidant called p-coumaric acid.
You may want to talk to your doctor. I hope you are on antibiotics to help you. Y0ou need to eat something else with protein so that you don't get unhealthy amount of fats.
It's high in protein and loads of good stuff for you - it's a superfood.

It's also easily digested and easy to eat. It can satisfy many cravings in one go - better to crave peanut butter than ice cream!
Maybe it's something in the peanut butter that you need if you are craving it. Too much may cause you to gain weight if you aren't careful. It is very good. A lot of children have been raised on peanut butter. I love it too.
