Bee Medicine is a synergy of Bee Venom and Honey Bee Products.
Bee Venom
Bee venom (BV) therapy regulates the immune system rather than suppressing the immune system. There are 30 + pharmacoactive agents in bee venom. Here is a list of some of the important ingredients found in BV:
Melittin
Melittin, making up 40-60% of BV, has anti-microbial properties, inhibits the formation of free radicals and contains 26 amino acids. Melittin is a natural anti-inflammatory, regulates the immune system and works on the circadian rhythm through the production of natural endogenous plasma cortisol by stimulating the release adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ATCH) an important component in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
Peptide 401
Peptide 401 is 100x more potent anti-inflammatory than hydrocortisone and is without the side effects of the pharmaceuticals.
Hyaluronidase and Phospholipase
Hyaluronidase and Phospholipase dissolves microbial biofilm of bacterial cell walls.
Neurotransmitters Acetylcholine, Dopamine, Apamin, Adolapin
∞ Acetylcholine repairs the myelin sheath covering the nerves helping to heal different central nerves system (CNS) dysfunctions, keeps RBC from clumping by balancing blood viscosity.
∞ Dopamine helps to increase motor activity.
∞ Apamin enhances synaptic transmission releasing endorphins elevating ones mood, balances hormones, regulates immune system, repairs nerve damage, and contains 18 amino acids.
∞ Adolapin has analgesic effects which is important pain reliever for people suffering from chronic pain.
Bee Products
Royal Jelly
Royal Jelly contains high amounts of: ∞ Acetylcholine; an important neurotransmitter, repairs nerve damage and balances blood viscosity∞ Nucleic acid which contains DNA and RNA repairing cell damage and provides energy and nutrients
∞ Minerals and vitamins and contain complete hydro-soluble B vitamins
∞ Decanoic acid which effectively defends against bacteria and fungus
∞ Gamma globulin
∞ Gelatinous collagen content Royal Jelly helps lower blood pressure and aids nervous system. It improves cognitive function, balances hormones, is anti-aging, improves skin, is effective in healing gastroduodenal ulcers and reduces tremors in Parkinson disease.
Propolis
Propolis (Mother Nature’s Natural Antibiotic) contains: ∞ Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (Cape); an anti-carcinogenic, anti-cancer, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory∞ Interferons proteins that alert the immune system to go after pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites and tumor cells
∞ Galangin; a flavanoid and caffeic acid containing anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties
∞ Vitamins A,C, E and all the B vitamins Propolis regulates the immune system, improves phagocyte activity helping the liver and heart with toxins, antioxidant and free radical scavenger, and *breeches bacterial biofilm; it breaks down outer layer of the bacteria so the immune system can recognize and attack. This is what makes it so effective with Lyme disease, candida and other biofilm organisms.
Pollen (The Complete Food)
All that one needs to sustain life is in Bee Pollen! Pollen is dense in nutrients such as: ∞ Protein; pollen is richer in protein than any animal source∞ Free amino acids
∞ Sugars
∞ Minerals
∞ Vitamins
∞ B-complex
∞ Rutin which strengthens the capillaries, inhibits platelet aggregation, has anti-inflammatory activity and is a strong antioxidant.
∞ Nucleic RNA and DNA
∞ Cellulose and fiber helps regulate digestive tract Bee Pollen has anti-viral and bacterial properties which aid digestive function. Local pollen contains homeopathic amounts of allergens for people with allergies, making it excellent for alleviating allergies. Note: Bee Pollen should be taken 6 wks before allergy season and continue throughout the season. *Interesting Fact about Bee Pollen – it can not be synthesized in a laboratory.
Raw Organic Honey (The Non-Sugar)
The most significant information to understand about Raw Honey is the anti-sugar properties the Honey Bee gives to us in the form of Floralflavones (bioflavonoids). The Floralflavones have a powerful anti-oxidant activity and help the body to control blood glucose levels.Honey’s anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-fungal properties as well as honey’s ability to granulate tissue make it the first choice in wound care.
Local Raw Honey helps alleviate allergies much like Pollen. Raw Honey is excellent for sinus infections, colds and ear infections. There is an enzyme called glucose oxidase that produces hydrogen peroxide with contact of the mucous membranes in the nasal passage and ear canal. The Honey rids the nasal passage and ear canal of persistent bacterial and fungal infections. Note there is a burning sensation that subsides; raw organic honey will not damage the membranes.
