Went to a farmer's market today and someone was selling the bee pollen granules. One of the claims are that it helps with the red/white blood cells therefore promoting a healthier immune system. Well I bought some. Seems that chemo has left me with both low counts so I'm up for trying it. Has anyone else tried this before, and if so, did you feel healthier all the way around?

    Don't know if this is true,
    Don't know if this is true, but I did hear if you buy honey that was made where you live it could help people that suffer with pollen allergies. I also heard vitamin D helps with platelets, but I don't have any research to back it up.
    Hope it works for you!

    Kim -

    Bee pollen granules?

    There seems to be something new each month that will cause
    an ill person to spend money in an effort to get well.

    Isn't there anyone in your area that practices Traditional Chinese Medicine?
    Perhaps a local Asian food store where you can ask? There are better
    ways to build up platlets and red/white cells, than bee poo.

    Seriously, it'd cost less, and do more, using a science that's thousands
    of years old, than someone's radical idea of what makes one healthy.

    You really oughta' try it.

    Good luck,

    John

    Bee colony collapse is one theory I've heard about;
    bee propolis should be looked into as well as pollen.....

    Hi Kim,Chinese red
    Hi Kim,Chinese red beans,dates and red skin peanuts will help with red blood counts.You can definitely put these three things together and boil them,if you like to have a little flavor,you can put some honey in.Maybe you can try this recepie.

    Kim:
    You never know, it might help, can't hurt. Next time we go down to the Eastern Market I'll ask the honey guy about it. I know I have been using some Peach Honey I got when we were down it Texas mixed with some pureed squash and on some other stuff, it is yummy.

    Packing it up in the suitcase and hoping it didn't break in transit was a story in itself, same with the 2 bottles of olive oil and 18 year old balsamic vinegar. I had dreams on the plane of that stuff breaking in the suitcase, clothes covered in honey and/or olive oil and vinegar.

    Take care - Tina

    have wondered about that
    Hi,

    I've heard about honeybee pollen granules and also royal jelly (which is taken from a queen bee), but was always hesitant because I have allergic reactions with major swelling and itching when I get a bee sting. Now, I realize the pollen granules are different from bee sting venom, but always wondered if there could be a link, as I am also allergic to many grasses, dust, molds, and also pollens. I don't ever have problems with eating honey, though, so maybe my worry is unfounded. Too afraid to try it though...

    Let us know if you do try it and feel any different from it.

    Graci: As per Dr Linda Page, a naturopath/herbalist
    "Bee Propolis: Collected by bees from the resin of tree bark, propolis is the first line of defense against beehive infections. A strong, natural antibiotic and antifungal, in humans, propolis stimulates the thymus gland to enhance resistence to infection. Like all bee products, it is also a powerful antiviral, effective against pneumonia and similar viral infections. Propolis is rich in bioflavonoids and amino acids, is a good source of trace minerals and high in B vitamins, C,E and beta-carotene.

    "Propolis has a wide range of healing uses: it treats stomach and intestinal ulcers, speeds healing of broken bones and aids new cell growth"......among others listed

    I'm gonna start taking bee pollen again(from Puritan's Pride) which includes this as well as Royal Jelly solely to try increase my energy to exercise.....steve
