Propolis contains almost 500 times more bioflavonoids than found in oranges!
These remarkable bee products can be considered Nature’s natural ‘antibiotics’.
Bee pollen contains all the essential components of life. The percentage of rejuvenating elements in it exceeds those present in brewer’s yeast and wheat germ. Pollen corrects deficient or unbalanced nutrition, common in today’s lifestyle of consuming incomplete foods, often containing chemical ingredients that gradually expose us to a wide variety of physiological problems.
It’s fascinating that bee pollen cannot be synthesized in a laboratory with the same benefits as natural pollen. When researchers take away a bee’s pollen-filled comb and feed the bee with man-made pollen, the bee dies even though all the known nutrients are present in the lab-produced food.
Bee pollen is thought by some to protect against radiation and is being studied for anti-cancer qualities. Bee-gathered pollens are rich in proteins, free amino acids, vitamins including B-complex, and folic acid.
Another bee product, propolis, is also a unique natural medicine because of its breadth of action. Research is revealing antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and immune regulating effects.
Propolis is made by honey bees as a resinous substance they gather from deciduous tree bark and leaves. Honeybees create propolis to sterilize their hive and to protect it against outside intruders and infection. Until genetic engineering changed crop and insect habits, bee hives remained protected from pathogens. Humans have used propolis as a healing agent for centuries due to its ability to provide protection against infectious invaders, promote healing of tissue and as a superior source of stamina. The fact that viruses and bacteria are unable to build tolerances against propolis is particularly significant to the medical field. This anti-resistant ability has been clinically verified under controlled conditions.
Commonly associated health benefits of bee propolis include:
- natural antibiotic
- anti-inflammatory
- reduced allergies
- reduced tumor growth with some cancers
- help for sore throats, colds / coughs /flu
- lessened fatigue
- assistance for respiratory / sinus conditions
- relief from some types of headaches
- treatment for acne and skin disorders including shingles
- treatment for skin cuts, burns, rashes, infections.
- dental care and treatment for cavities and mouth ulcers
Propolis is especially rich in amino acids, important for immune system function, and has a high vitamin content. It’s also very rich in bioflavonoids (Vitamin P) – known for immune building properties. Bioflavonoids are the natural pigments in fruits and vegetables. Propolis contains almost 500 times more bioflavonoids than is found in oranges!
Bioflavonoids are researched as having particular benefit to high blood pressure, respiratory infections and liver conditions, as well as mending blood vessels and resisting the release of histamine. Except for vitamin K, propolis contains all known vitamins and has 14 of the 15 minerals the human body requires for normal function, excluding sulphur. Research undertaken at the Second Leningrad Scientific Conference on the Application of Apiculture (bee culture) in Medicine, found Bee Propolis rich in many nutrients including Vitamin A (carotene), Vitamin B1, B2, B3, biotin, and an array of bioflavonoids, albumin, calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.
“The field of influence of Propolis is extremely broad. It includes cancer, infection of the urinary tract, swelling of the throat, gout, open wounds, sinus congestion, colds, influenza, bronchitis, gastritis, diseases, of the ears, periodontal disease, intestinal infections, ulcers, eczema eruptions, pneumonia, arthritis, lung disease, stomach virus, headaches, Parkinson’s disease, bile infections, sclerosis, circulation deficiencies, warts, conjunctivitis and hoarseness.” …… Dr. K. Lund Aagaard
Dr. John Diamond, President of the International Academy of Preventative Medicine says:
“Our life energy is the source of our physical and mental well-being, of glowing health, of the joy of living…I have never seen a patient with chronic degenerative illness who did not have an underactive thymus gland. I believe it is the thymus weakness or underactivity that is the original cause of the illness…of all the natural supplements I have tested the one that seems to be the most strengthening to the thymus, and hence the life energy, is bee resin or bee propolis…”
Reminders: Any bee product should initially be taken with caution, such as starting with 1/4 of a tablet to be sure you have no sensitivities to bee products.
The Forever Living “Bee Propolis” tablets are harvested from natural fields of wildflowers located in the Sonora Desert area for purity of the propolis, pollen, royal jelly and honey that is collected.
