BEE POLLEN

THE FACTS REGARDING BEE POLLEN

THE SECRET TO LIVING TO 125

The villagers residing in the Caucasus Mountains fascinated Dr. Nicolai Tsitsin, Russian Chief Biologist and prominent member of the Academy of Sciences. These hardy souls seemed to sail effortlessly past the age of 100. Remarkably, more than 200 individuals were over 125 — still actively working and participating in daily activities. After some physical examinations, Dr. Tsitsin discovered that many exhibited signs of “silent heart disease” and scars of “silent heart attacks,” which would have certainly been lethal to a modem man. The doctor believed that being extremely active and working hard well into old age was a contributing factor to their longevity, but he still remained puzzled. He knew there had to be some other factor entering into the equation. He was on a mission to find the common denominator. Then he stumbled on it.

These people all kept bees! Beekeeping is a profession that in itself historically confers some sort of “magical” life protection on its members, a fact confirmed by today’s scientific research. These beekeepers seemed happy and fulfilled, but were otherwise very poor. Bartering among themselves with an exchange of services and homegrown products was the accepted way of life. They had very little cash, so they regularly traded the pure clear honey from the combs of their hives for other necessities. What they kept for themselves, and ate regularly, was the thick residue that accumulated at the bottom of the hives. When Dr. Tsitsin was served some of this sweet, sticky substance in the home of one of the villagers, he had a sudden revelation. After some research and analysis, he concluded that this was the magic elixir that contributed to the remarkable longevity of these beekeepers. The tasty but unattractive glob was rich with golden granules of bee pollen.

Dr. Tsitsin attributed the incredible health and extended life spans of these people to the scientifically documented action of bee pollen and said that taken regularly and in sufficient amounts, bee pollen will prolong the life of man for many years.

What is bee pollen? It is simply flower pollen with a little bit of “magic” added by the bee. The actual gathering of pollen is a lot more complex than it would seem to most of us. When the honeybee spots a flower, she settles on the stamen (the pollen producing part) and skillfully scrapes off the powdery loose pollen with her jaws and front legs. Next, she moistens the pollen with a dab of the honey she brought from the hive. Her tibia contains thick, trimming bristles called “combs,” which she uses to brush the gold powder from her body mid-flight into tiny baskets found on the outside of her legs. When her basket is full, the microscopic golden dust has been pressed down into a single golden granule. Back at the hive, enzymes and nectar are added to the flower pollen to make bee pollen. It is often referred to as “the bread of bees.” It is this that bees use for nourishment, not honey.

Nature’s Perfect Food

One of the most fascinating things about bee pollen is that it can’t be duplicated in a laboratory. Even though thousands of analyses have been made on bee pollen using modem technologies, there still are certain components in it which science cannot identify. The bees add some mysterious ingredients that may very well attribute to its amazing healing properties.

Bee pollen is considered a “superfood,” meaning that it contains every ingredient required for sustaining life. It is 25% vegetable protein (including at least 18 amino acids, and all eight essential amino acids) and contains more than a dozen vitamins, 28 minerals, 11 enzymes and coenzymes, and 11 carbohydrates. This is why they call bee pollen “nature’s perfect food!” It contains every vitamin, mineral and amino acid that the human body needs.

The history of bee pollen is even older than mankind. Bees buzzed over our planet long before humans came into existence. The pollen and honey produced by the bees provided nourishment for animals in the very early days and later for people as well. We now know that primitive man not only fought the bees for their honey, but also feasted on the bee pollen stored in the comb. Aboriginal tribes still feast on bee grubs and regard bee pollen and honey as “well worth the price of a few stings.”

The Bible, Torah, Koran, along with the scrolls of the Orient, the writings of ancient Greece and Rome, even the relatively recent Book of Mormon, all praise the industrious honeybee and her highly nutritious and healing products of the beehive. There are even legends which claim that bee pollen was the secret “ambrosia” eaten by the ancient gods to acquire eternal youth.

Science and Research

Most of the research on the therapeutic properties of bee pollen has taken place in Europe and Russia. Since the 1940s, many analytic studies have been conducted on bee pollen, particularly at the Laboratory of Apiary Research, near Paris, France. These studies used both mice and humans and found bee pollen to be completely nontoxic for both. In nutritional tests, “hundreds of mice have demonstrated that pollen is a complete food and that it is possible to let several successive generations be born and live without the least sign of distress while nourishing them exclusively on pollen.”

Researchers also discovered that bee pollen contained nutritive, energetic, and metabolic properties, as well as antibiotic substances that are effective against colibacillus and certain strains of salmonella. Dr. Paavo Aitrola, a well-known nutritionist in his field, stated, “Pollen is the richest and most complete food in nature. It increases the body’s resistance to stress and disease and also speeds up the healing process in most conditions of ill health...” This is especially important today when pollution, pesticides, preservatives and the over-use of antibiotics continually challenge our immune system.

Dr. Leo Conway, M.D, who treats his patients with pollen by oral ingestion, explains: “All patients who had taken the antigen (pollen) for three years remained free from all allergy symptoms, no matter where they lived and regardless of diet. Control has been achieved in 100 percent of the earlier cases and the field is expanding... Ninety-four percent of all my patients were completely free from allergy symptoms. Of the other six percent, not one followed directions, but even this small percentage were partially relieved nonetheless. Relief of hay fever, pollen-induced asthma, with ever-increasing control of bronchitis, ulcers of the digestive tract, colitis, migraine headaches and urinary disorders were all totally successful.”

Dr. Lars-Erik Essen, M.D., of Halsinborg, Sweden, says: “Bee pollen exerts a profound biological effect. It seems to prevent premature aging of the cells and stimulates growth of new skin tissue. It offers effective protection against dehydration and injects new life into dry cells. It smoothes away wrinkles and stimulates a life-giving blood supply to all skin cells.”

Naum Loyrish, Chief of the former Soviet Academy of Vladivostok reports, “Long lives are attained by bee pollen users. It is one of the original treasure houses of nutrition and medicine. Each grain contains every important substance necessary to life.”

World’s Oldest Champion

Experts have long considered bee pollen a potent healer and a source of prolific power. One of the best case studies illustrating this would be that of the legendary Noel Johnson. In 1964, at age 65, he was diagnosed by his doctor as having a seriously damaged heart. The doctor forbade him any physical activity. What Noel did instead of waiting for his death was to reassess his diet and life style, and discover what he called “the bee’s gifts.” At age 70, he started to consume fresh, raw bee pollen daily. At age 78, he won his first gold medal in the Senior Division of the Marathon race. For years after that, he held the title of World’s Senior Boxing Champion, defeating opponents half his age. He was presented with the Presidential Award for Physical Fitness by President Reagan.

In 1989, he wrote his autobiography, appropriately entitled A Dud at 70- A Stud at 80. In this inspiring book, he attributed his stamina, superb health and longevity to bee pollen: “This miraculous substance from the beehive became the cornerstone of my diet... I know that bee pollen has been the single largest contributor to my extended lifespan. I believe it is this incredible food that gave me the ‘superman’ image... Since I discovered bee pollen at the age of 70, this perfect live food has restored my manhood, brought me to full vigor and sexual potency, and continues to nourish every cell in my body while protecting my health.”

Noel Johnson remained active as a marathon runner until his death at the age of 97. Bee pollen is a timeless wonder, an all-natural creation easily available and affordable to anyone. One’s search for eternal youth should lead straight to the beehive.

Ecologists reckon that over 100,000 species of plants would become extinct without the pollinating work of the bee. Without these plants, life as we know it, perhaps all life, would become impossible.

The World’s Most Complete Food

Bee pollen is the world’s most complete food. It contains every basic vitamin, mineral, enzyme and hormone essential for general well-being and good health. In its fresh, natural form, it is completely absorbed by the body and is 100% digestible.

Professor Alain Callias, Ph.D. at the Academy of Agriculture, Paris, France, investigated whether referring to bee pollen as “nature’s perfect food” was accurate, and if humans could survive on bee pollen alone for an extended period of time. During the course of his studies, he found that 36 grams of bee pollen a day would supply the average man with every necessary nutrient!

Why Choice of Presidents B-Pollen Really Is the Best in the World

Choice of Presidents B-Pollen is 100% fresh, raw, and natural bee pollen acquired from America’s best beekeepers. It contains every living enzyme and nutrient. It has never been heat treated as almost every other bee pollen product on the market. This is important because enzymes begin to be denatured at 118 F. Enzymes are a valuable component of bee pollen, and they are only one of the many classes of nutrients in bee pollen that exhibit bioactivity. Other bioactive phytonutrients include bioflavonoids, phytosterols, carotenoids and more. Excessive exposure to heat can degrade the bioactivity of nutrients. When you purchase Choice of Presidents B-Pollen you’ll notice that the granules are semi-moist and fresh, which is why refrigeration is very important. Regular brands of bee pollen consist of hard and dehydrated granules. They are dehydrated for easy storage, sacrificing nutritional integrity for increased shelf life. The shelf life of Choice of President B-Pollen is approx. 6-12 months.

When you inspect Choice of Presidents B-Pollen, you will see a rainbow of hues and colors. Each color represents a different species of plant. Our bee pollen is collected from a wide range of states and geographic areas and blended together. This is critical for a balanced nutritional profile, especially considering the soil depletion of certain minerals and nutrients from different areas. Only by blending pollen of different species and from different areas and climates can you achieve a perfectly balanced product to fill the nutritional gap in your diet.

Choice of Presidents B-Pollen is not only the best and finest pollen in the world, but the most famous as well. This is the same pollen that was delivered to the White House and enjoyed by such famous political figures as President Reagan, the Prime Ministers of England and Japan, the King of Sweden, the Mir of Hunza and President Gorbachev and his wife Raissa, just to mention a few. This is why this product became known as Choice of Presidents bee pollen. There is another famous figure who savored the benefits of our bee pollen day after day - Noel Johnson. Johnson held all records for long distance running in the over 70 age group and was the only one of his age in the world to run the 26-mile marathon.
