Bee Pollen

So when I was at Mama Lee's I saw a little glass car that said POLEN DE ABEJA. Bee Pollen? Well, what the hell do you do with that?? I put some in my mouth and was surprised by it's earthy taste, and the texture that it was in the jar. Lee said that it was great for the body and for your energy, and she handed me the bottle as a gift! Just got home and did some research and am now adding Bee Pollen to my agua de pipa and vitamin regime. Pura Vida.


I did some research and this is what I found:

Bee pollen consists of blended pollen grains that are collected by honeybees, from a wide variety of plants. It contains EVERY vitamin known, as well as all 22 elements needed by our bodies. Bee pollen contains ALL the amino acids which are indispensable for our diet, and which our bodies cannot make or synthesize.

Bee pollen is 30 to 40 percent protein. one-half of its protein is in the form of those amino acids I just mentioned, so your body can use them immediately. Bee pollen contains 25 trace elements, and many active enzymes and co-enzymes. Nearly 10 percent of bee pollen consists of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids -- a perfect blend of these much-needed fatty acids. Bee pollen contains more protein than beef, eggs, or cheese.

The Greeks and Romans called bee pollen the"life giving dust," and the secret "ambrosia." There are some people who think you could live on bee pollen alone.

I began eating bee pollen about 10 years ago. I'd read good things about it, and decided to add a teaspoonful to my mid-day yogurt. A few years later, when I began grinding my own golden flaxseed, I added the daily spoonful of bee pollen to the flaxseed, and ground them up together. I still do that today. Grinding the bee pollen makes sure that all its many nutrients are easily assimilated by my body. Turns out I made a very wise decision in adding bee pollen to my eating regimen. It's only recently I've learned what a truly superb food it is. I'd like to share some of that information with you today. Much of it comes from Dr. Felix Murat's little book. Bee Pollen: Miracle Food, and Paul Pitchford's book, Healing With Whole Foods. I also did some reseach on the net. What is it?

The United States Dept of Agriculture had this to say about bee pollen (back in the 1960s, before big industry took over so many government agencies). "Bee pollen is the most nutritious food you can eat. It contains every nutrient required to sustain and support life in a pure, raw, unadulterated form." In French labs, mice have been kept alive for 6 months, perfectly healthy, with no other food except bee pollen. In addition to being perhaps the perfect nutritional food, bee pollen has a proven reputation as a healing food. Here are some of the illnesses and degenerative conditions that bee pollen has been known to heal. 1) Bee pollen destroys harmful bacteria in the intestines. It contains a natural antibiotic which destroys salmonella and other harmful bacteria. 2) Bee pollen has an astounding record at reversing prostate cancer and prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate). Many men who were scheduled for prostate surgery, were able to cancel the operations after eating bee pollen daily for several months. I will list a website at the end of this message, where you can read some compelling testimonials to bee pollen's healing power. If you're a man in your 30s or 40s, and you want to eliminate all worries about prostate cancer, begin eating a spoonful of bee pollen every day. 3) Bee pollen is wonderful for eliminating allergies like Hay Fever. You should begin eating it 6 weeks before allergy season. The bee pollen (not to be confused with flower pollen) immunizes your immune system. 4) Bee pollen reduces the craving for alcohol and street drugs and other addictions. 5) It's great for chronic constipation or diarrhea, as well as other intestinal problems. 6) Bee pollen helps to overcome retardation and other developmental problems in children. Mentally retarded children often respond to doses of bee pollen and glutamic acid. 7) Bee pollen helps chelate (flush out) poisons and toxins from the human body. 8) It helps overcome infertility in women, and makes men more sexually potent. 9) Bee pollen is useful during pregnancy and lactation. It helps a woman to build energy. 10) It helps relieve diabetic symptoms. 11) Bee pollen helps prevent communicable diseases, like colds and flu. 12) Bee pollen provides the nutrients that our immune systems need to remain at peak efficiency. 13) It helps lessen depression, and is believed to slow down the aging process. 14) Bee pollen can help children with ADD, or those who suffer from aenemia. 15) It is thought to protect against radiation. and to have anti-cancer qualities. 16) And last but hardly least, bee pollen will help lower blood pressure. Most of you know that more people die from heart attacks caused by high blood pressure, than any other single illness. Here's how it works.
