BZZZZZZ {sbp starts bzzzing around happily over this deal}

I hate to break this to you guys... but bees don't produce pollen. Flowers do. Go out and munch on some flowers.

It is called bee pollen because it is pollen that has been processed by bees. Hmmm if I want sugar I should just stick a few stalks of sugar cane in my coffee and not process it, or just tap a maple tree and not boil off the excess water and pour it over my pancakes... err

There is even a higher form of bee pollen known as royal jelly, which a viscous substance secreted from the pharyngeal glands of worker honeybees,fed to all larvae during their first few days and afterward only to those larvae selected to be queens that has even more benefits to the human endocrine system than the "normal" bee pollen.

But what do I know...

Thanx for the post Mr X.

Yumm yumm
Thanks mysterX

The site looks a little cheesy~ But thanks for the free pollen, mysterX.

Will this pollen make me sneeze if I am allergic to pollen? Just wondering

Sandman is now officially GotApex's resident expert on Bee Pollen and surrounding topics

If your allergic to bee pollen bubbagump I wouldn't mess around with this.

Actually, bees don't process pollen at all. It gets caught on their legs and spread to other flowers. Bees process NECTAR. This is what is used to make honey and "royal jelly".

The only thing pollen does is give people allergic to it problems.

I have used royal jelly to help with allergies in the past. But there is a critical point where you may take too large a dose and you can get a very real allergic reaction.You have to experiment with any of these products to find the best dosage.Supposedly, royal jelly helps to build up your immune system.I have heard claims that bee pollen helps,too.

Yep, and I heard that injecting OZONE into your blood helped fight cancer until the guy who was doing it was arrested because a bunch of his patients died.

Point: be skeptical. I practice some holistic medicine, but a lot of the stuff you hear and read about hasn't been tested thoroughly. Whenever you hear that some substance (like pollen, to which many people are allergic) has curative properties, BE CAUTIOUS.

Was it natural ozone or artificial ozone?

[Sandman]

Bee Pollen is flower pollen that bees collect for food. Bee Pollen provides the bees with the nutritional building blocks that they need for growth. When bees gather pollen from the anthers of flowering plants, the pollen mixes with the nectar forming yellow crystals on the bees' legs, creating nutritional supplement. The honeybee collects pollen and mixes it with its own digestive enzymes,creating what we call Bee Pollen. (Amazing what you learn on the Discovery Channel)

Bee pollen has also been used in the treatment of cancer, (but just about every thing under the sun has)but mostly for its abilty to raise the immune system. Bee pollen provides anti-oxidants that scavenge free radicals caused by exposure to radiation, chemical pollutants, and other intense physical or emotional stressors. Radiation and chemical pollutants are known as the two most severe stressors to your immune system.

Ozone has radiomimetic characteristics. Also has been proved that this substance can cause biochemical effects comparable with those of ionizing radiation. This research has directed it as the cause of leukemia and breast cancer due to the fact that the dissociation of oxyhaemoglobine is proved to be retarded by ionizing radiation and ozone. It is sad that someone made a profit off the hopes of those who wished a second chance on life. I can't remember the details of that incident, but I believe the person only served something like 540 days in jail.Sad.

Bee pollen should not be confused with the pollen that is blown by the wind and is a common cause of allergies. Allergy-causing pollen is called anemophiles; it is light and easily blown by the wind. Bee pollen is heavier and stickier, and is collected off of bees' legs by special devices placed at the entrance to hives.

Adults suffering from allergies are best advised to start off with one to three granules daily, and then to gradually increase to higher doses-usually over a period of one month or more. For preventive purposes, a common initial adult dosage of bee pollen granules is initially 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon once per day. The dosage is gradually increased to 1-2 teaspoons one to three times per day. A small percent of people who initially ingest large amounts may occasionally experience minor gastrointestinal irritation and a laxative effect or a rare allergic reaction. Before ingestion anything you fear may have an adverse affect on your body you should always consult your physician.

This is for FYI make your own decisions based on the information given and other information you may find. Before emparting on something one should always ask as many questions as possible and it doesn't hurt to research it as well, there is a ton of information on the internet some good,some bad use it wisely...

Grappa dude lay off a bit eh? bee nice were just having some fun. OK?

And johnny you get props on that come back. How long did it take you to think up that one?

Paladin, I wasn't berating Sandman, just questioning his information. IMHO not enough people question a lot of this stuff, they just throw their money into it without anything but anecdotal evidence. If that suits you, fine... it's your money and your body. But some of us are interested in knowing if things really work, or if it's just another Cold Fusion experiment...
