Book "Propolis: Composition, Health, Medicine" by Stefan Bogdanov
Propolis ORAC value (page 7)
"Pure propolis resin scored 9674 ORAC units (μmole TE/g)"
Propolis has so many health benefits you'll need to read the book to discover them all.
What I love about Propolis: It's one of nature's most powerful building blocks of the immune system. Propolis helps you build both white blood cells of the cardiovascular system and lymphocytes of the lymphatic system, which is why it's so very powerful for the human body. Propolis is what protects the larvae in a bee hive from bacteria and parasites. The young bees are like in their own room that's cleaner than an Intel clean room when making microprocessors.
Clinical Studies
"Dr. Feiks also noticed that 70% of the propolis group obtained relief in three days, compared to only 10% of the group receiving conventional medication."
What is an Antioxidant?
"Antioxidants help fight oxidation, a normal chemical process that takes place in the body every day. It can be accelerated by stress, cigarette smoking, and alcohol. When there are disruptions in the natural oxidation process, highly unstable and potentially damaging molecules called free radicals are created. Oxygen triggers the formation of these destructive little chemicals, and, if left uncontrolled, they can cause damage to cells in the body. It's much like the chemical reaction that creates rust on a bicycle or turns the surface of a cut apple brown.
Free Radicals
These free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that contain an odd number of electrons. They can be formed when certain molecules interact with oxygen. Once formed, free radicals can start a chain of damaging chemical reactions. The biggest danger to the human body is their potential to react with cellular components like DNA or the cell membrane, causing cells to function poorly or die.
Free radicals can trap a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in an artery wall and begin the formation of plaque; they can damage DNA; or they can change the course of what enters and leaves a cell. Any of these actions can be the start of a disease process."
What is the ORAC chart?
"The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) unit, ORAC value, or "ORAC score" is a method of measuring the antioxidant capacity of different foods and supplements. It was developed by scientists at the National Institutes of Health. While the exact relationship between the ORAC value of a food and its health benefit has not been established, it is believed that foods higher on the ORAC chart will more effectively neutralize free radicals. According to the free-radical theory of aging, this will slow the oxidative processes and free radical damage that can contribute to age-related degeneration and disease."
When I learned of Propolis in 2002 I started taking it and I have not been sick since then. (15 years no colds or flu from 2002 to 2017) I was allergic to something in the forests when I moved to Oregon and I was allergic to cats also but I no longer have any symptoms from either, thanks to the superpower of Propolis. I think the Propolis boosted my immune system so much that it's now so strong it destroys any foreign invaders and is not hyper-sensitive as is the case with allergies. I took 10g per day for 6 months while being exposed to the allergen (cat dander) daily and cured my allergy to cats.
Allergies
"When a person with an allergy comes into contact with an allergen, the allergic reaction is not immediate. The immune system gradually builds up sensitivity to the substance before overreacting to it.
The immune system needs time to recognize and remember the allergen. As it becomes sensitive to it, it starts making antibodies to attack it - this process is called sensitization.
Sensitization can take from a few days to several years. In many cases the sensitization process is not completed and the person experiences some symptoms but never a full allergy.
When the immune system reacts to an allergen, there is inflammation and irritation. Signs and symptoms depend on the type of allergen. Allergic reactions may occur in the gut (digestive system), skin, sinuses, airways, eyes, and nasal passages."
Dosage:
5g daily maintenance for super-antioxidants (off the chart! ORAC value of 9674 per gram)
10g daily for allergies and anti-aging (this amount is more potent than 12+ cups of blueberries daily)
40g-160g if sick, 20g every 2 hours up to 160g in a day
I have been well the same day when I felt I was starting to get a cold, after taking Propolis, lots of water, and sleep. i.e. Took 20g, 2 hours later took another 20g as the symptoms weren't gone yet, and then went to sleep. I woke up later and was fine. Same day wellness just makes you smile.
Propolis is a 100% natural superfood. As with anything, before starting any new regimen, consult with your doctor or holistic wellness professional depending on your medical history. If you eat more of it you will just get full as with any food but I personally have taken as much as 160g myself, once when I got food poisoning (took 40g four times that day, think of a small fruit) and I never developed the symptoms that other people had. It's simple, take more Propolis depending on how you feel. I instinctively took so much because I saw everyone getting sick and it worked like a miracle.
I consider Propolis to be the opposite of
Video HIV/AIDS because it makes Helper T cells (in blood) and
Video NK cells (in lymph) just as HIV destroys them. Shhhh now you know the secret. =P
Propolis is amazing and I'll be taking it for the rest of my life. It's time to tell others because I have 15 years of eating it. Yes, I honestly would like for the price to stay low so if not many people know about it, that's one positive but I would be willing to pay 100x more for it. It could go up 100x and still be more beneficial than any drug at the same price. It would give me great comfort if other people discovered its miraculous benefits for themselves and their loved ones.
I encourage you to increase your body's super ninjas massively with Propolis.
