Pharmacological properties and uses of pollen, propolis, and royal jelly
Since ancient times the bee products have been used to prevent, heal, or recover our body, mind or soul before, during, or after diseases.
Each drug used in medicine has certain pharmacological properties which depends entirely on its composition. In other words, the "Composition" gives the "Properties" and the "Properties" show the best "Indications" or "Uses".
The bee products are made from an incredibly large variety of substances and as a result their composition and properties are very numerous.
The bee pollen represents the flowers’ masculine sexual cells. As any other sexual cell from the Nature, pollen contains every necessary substance to protect and stimulate the appearance of a new organism. Thus, pollen contains all essential amino acids, a very large number of different vitamins, enzymes, carbohydrates etc. The main pollen pharmacological properties are related to the liver functions and protein metabolism.
Propolis is another bee product which contains more than 300 different substances. More than 70 % of them have origin as exudates from different buds, especially poplar buds. The scientists from all over the world have found more than 60 different pharmacological properties related to this bee product. To summarize, propolis is a very good protector of all epitheliums and endotheliums of the body and a very powerful imunostimulator.
Royal jelly, the "queen’s milk", is considered the most perfect food of Mother Nature. It has, like pollen , all the necessary substances to sustain life. The richness in nutrients and other active substances explains the wide variety of effects. The most important effect, in my opinion, is the prolongation of consumer's life and strength through improvement of cellular functioning and multiplication.
What is interesting is that all substances collected or produced by the bees themselves have specific and general properties.
From the general properties of the above bee products I would mention here the following ones: antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, nutritive, and strengthening of all cellular functions.
Apitherapy principles in the prevention and treatment of multiple sclerosis, cancers and AIDS.
Every healing therapy, especially the natural-based ones, has among it's principles:
- A perfect diagnostic at all levels: physical, energetic, and informational;
- Perfect individualization: that means each different patient receives different treatment, according to his or her unique situation;
- The treatment must not cause more harm ("Primum non nocere") or disturb other functions or organs of the body;
- The treatment must be "active" but at the same time as "soft" as possible; rebalance of the "diseased cells", tissues and organs is one direction but better is to give more strength to the "healthy cells"; these still healthy cells, through several already known mechanisms, will influence in a positive manner the diseased cells or simply will replace them, through a physiologically process of regeneration.
Apitherapy in the hands of a good practitioner can make many wonders, can heal thousands of people.
Why? Because the bee products are a quintessence of all natural drugs extracted from plants and they have all necessary properties to protect, stimulate or recover our health.
Multiple sclerosis is a very complex neuro-immunological disease. Its possible causes: nervous system infections with different viruses like herpes virae; genetic predisposition; auto-immune factors; self -intoxication with toxins from the intestines, and depression.
The symptoms vary from person to person according to their general strength, the psychological ability to resist depression, the length and intensity of the disease etc.
Apitherapy has between its main goals to:
- improve the quality of the immune reactions of the body;
- improve the quality of all cellular membranes;
- diminish the toxins from the intestines (mainly from the large intestine);
- improve the quality, quantity and circulation of the blood;
- improve the functioning of the adrenal glands, kidneys, liver, heart, and thymus, thus helping the entire nervous system and body
BEE POLLEN improves the functions of the liver, gives more strength to the heart, and gives all necessary amino-acids to the nervous system.
BEE VENOM has been proven to help patients having Multiple Sclerosis very much. It diminishes the inflammatory reactions in the affected areas, it improves the blood circulation in the nervous system, and in the whole body. Bee venom also increases the natural production of cortisol in the adrenal glands, it gives more energy and stamina.
HONEY gives the best energy to the whole body, cleanses the digestive tract, softly stimulates the immune system, cures skin wounds, and relaxez ovr-contracted muscles.
PROPOLIS is known world-wide as a very good immune-modulator. It stimulates the activity of the thymus, it has anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and anti-toxic properties; it strengthens the cellular membranes of the body, and fights very well against free radicals.
ROYAL JELLY has been proven to improve the quality of the cellular regeneration, to fight against auto-immune diseases, and to increase longevity. It is the perfect food of Mother Nature, being responsible for the perfect evolution of the honeybees in the last 600.000 years …
Apitherapy against cancer.
First of all, we need to eliminate or at least to neutralize the already known contributing factors towards cancer :
- hereditary tendency towards cancer;
- wrong diet (too many animal products like meat, raw milk, pork fats, processed food, chemical preservers and too less vitamins, anti-oxidants, fibers from fresh food;
- weak immune system;
- psycho-emotional problems like too many worries, obsessions, depression, sadness, anxiety, lack of will and psychical power to fight with the difficulties of the life;
- chemical substances; radioactive substances; different viruses, bacteria, intestinal parasites; "lazy" functioning of the internal organs etc.
Of course, the best treatment is the individual one, from case to case, but still we can give some principles:
- bee venom therapy should be administered only by apitherapy-specialized doctors or natural healers;
- the bee products must be very fresh, especially royal jelly and bee pollen;
- propolis, a powerful anti-tumour product, should be given in every possible way (raw, tincture, suppositories, ointment etc.)
- medicinal herbs and other natural remedies should be used according to the specific situation of each patient;
- good psychotherapy can make also miracles; the discussions should be oriented towards love of the Nature, bringing more light, optimism and reasons to live longer and healthier;
- diet is also very important; ideally is a vegetarian diet, fresh, 100 % organic and full of bioenergy;
- the cleansing of the body through every possible way.
Apitherapy against AIDS.
The most important aspect in the treatment of AIDS is to strengthen and modulate the body's immune system. The bee products, through their thousands of different natural substances, can give enough "power" to the cellular structure and functions of the whole body.
An experiment done in Constanta, Romania, proved that the use of propolis and royal jelly can be of real help in the treatment of this disease.
Important is not to fight directly against the viruses, but to strengthen the body, mind and soul through every possible way.
