Excerpt from Nourishing Traditions

Bee pollen has been popularized by famous athletes who take it regularly for strength and endurance. It has been used successfully to treat a variety of ailments including allergies, asthma, menstrual irregularities, constipation, diarrhea, anemia, low energy, cancer, rheumatism, arthritis and toxic conditions.

A Russian study of the inhabitants of the province of Georgia, where many live to 100 years and a few to age 150, revealed that a large portion of these centenarians were beekeepers who often ate raw, unprocessed honey with all its “impurities,” that is, with the pollen.

Bee pollen contains 22 amino acids including the eight essential ones, 27 minerals and the full gamut of vitamins, hormones and fatty acids. Most importantly, bee pollen contains more than 5,000 enzymes and coenzymes. It is the presence of enzymes, many of which have immediate detoxifying effects, that sometimes provokes allergic reactions in those taking bee pollen for the first time. If this happens start with very small amounts and slowly build up to a tablespoon or so per day. Some brands are more easily tolerated than others.

Avoid pollen that has been dried at temperatures higher than 130 degrees F. Bee pollen can be taken in powder, capsule or tablet form – or in raw unprocessed honey mixed with cereal or spread on toast.

Nutrition

Bee Pollen, not an herb, has been called the miracle food or super food. It is a complete, nutritionally balanced food. It contains vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, all necessary amino acids and fatty acids.

• Vitamins include A, B, including folic acid and niacin, C, E, and K.
• Minerals include potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, silicon, iron, copper, and trace minerals.
• Regulates and stimulates the human system because it supplies any missing elements.
• Used for convalescents because it helps increase weight and energy.
• No need to take large amounts of bee pollen. One teaspoon (or less) a day is usually sufficient.

Allergies

There are two types of pollen. 1. Gymnophile – pollen that is blown in the air. 2. Entomophile – pollen that is gathered by bees, which contains a small amount of Gymnophile (air carried) pollen. Taking Bee Pollen by mouth has helped allergy sufferers to develop an immunity from pollen in the air. Caution: when taking pollen for this reason, it is important to start with very tiny amounts.
