Benefits
of Bee Pollen
Evidence
of benefit of bee pollen ¹ - it both protects the
prostate gland and stimulates the production of
testosterone, and has some beneficial effects in
radiation therapy. It has been suggested that bee pollen
has some positive effects in the treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis and disorders of the liver, gallbladder,
stomach, and intestines. It is also beneficial for
people with hay fever. Many studies have shown that bee
pollen contains antibiotic substances that act against
bacteria, including Colibacilli, and certain strains of
salmonella. Benefits of pollen for specific health
conditions include the following*:-
-
allergies
and hay fever: Pollen extracts taken orally have
been used to desensitize people to plants to which
they are allergic. In one double-blind study, people
with allergies to grass pollen were asked to place
drops of liquid grass pollen extract under their
tongues daily for three weeks, gradually increasing
concentration. After three weeks they took pollen
twice a week at a maintenance level. During the next
allergy season, bee pollen users had significantly less hay
fever symptoms than those experienced by a group
given placebo drops.
-
Cancer:
Bee pollen protects the liver from depletion of its
antioxidant stores. Antioxidants fight the toxic
free-radicals that harm healthy tissue during
radiation therapy.
Dr. Paavo
O. Airola, in his book "Health Secrets from
Europe": "It has been suggested that
Bulgarians, Rumanians, Russians and other eastern European
peoples known for their enviable record of longevity
have to thank lactic acid for their excellent health and
youthful vitality. Probably the most beneficial effect
of pollen is that taken internally, it quickly produces
the same anti-putrefactive effects as lactic acid foods,
and thus contributes to a healthy digestive system and
good assimilation of nutrients for good health and long
life" He goes on to say..."Analysis of pollen
has shown that it is indeed food for Gods, it is the
richest and most complete food in nature."
The
'Journal of the National Cancer Institute' stated that
Bee Pollen was given to laboratory test animals which
had been bred to develop tumors. They found that certain
amounts of bee pollen appeared to either prevent or
inhibit the growth of malignant cells.
Dr Carlton
Fredericks comments: "Honeybee pollen is the only
super food on this earth...this statement has been
proven so many times in the laboratories around the
world by chemical analysis that it is not subject to debate
or challenge."
Dr. John
R. Christopher comments: "I consider honeybee
pollen the most natural food and the most perfect food
in the world. Pollen is life itself."
