Antibiotic Properties of Honey and How to Use it to Get Better Fast

Antibiotics (the chemically produced kind) have been in the news lately because of their tremendous overuse and over-prescription by doctors.  Drugs that used to be standard treatments for bacterial infections are now less effective or don’t work at all. When an antibiotic drug no longer has an effect on a certain strain of bacteria, those bacteria are said to be antibiotic resistant. Fortunately, honey has natural antibiotic properties without any of the negative side effects of the synthetic versions.   In addition, it doesn’t appear to be susceptible to resistance by bacteria meaning you can continue to use it over time.

Oxidative Stress Rising Globally

oxidative stress

Oxidative Stress can be reduced by consumption of honey. A study recently published in the journal Molecules has given excellent scientific insight into the many health benefits of honey. The review published lends great credibility to what we’ve known for a long time – that honey has the ability to both slow and prevent the diseases of aging.

The journal stated:

“The global prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), atherosclerosis (plaque in the arteries), cancer and Alzheimer’s disease is on the rise. These diseases, which constitute the major causes of death globally, are associated with oxidative stress.”

The authors gave an excellent definition of what oxidative stress is and what it does to your body over time: Continue reading Oxidative Stress Rising Globally

Propolis Kills Breast Cancer Cells In Study

Breast Cancer study was recently published in the American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology demonstrating propolis’ effect on breast cancer cells.

This study was performed in a human breast carcinoma cell called MCF-7. The results demonstrated that an extract of propolis can indeed induce cell death in breast cancer cells. In just 24 hours the propolis extract was able to kill 13% of the cancer cells.

In another study published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity (Volume 2016), the Propolis compound Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) was found to augment the effects of the widely used drug Tamoxifen.

Although Tamoxifen is one of the most widely used drug

It seems to come around every year: that rash of sneezing, coughing, aching friends and family members. Some years, no matter how careful you are about washing your hands and avoiding the sick, you still wind up catching a cold yourself. But if it happens to you, you don’t have to suffer. A growing body of evidence indicates that bee products like propolis can significantly reduce the duration of a cold and relieve symptoms. There’s still no cure for the common cold; but, the more research we do, the more we learn how propolis can help.
