Bee Gold Overview - Bee Pollen by Basic Reset

Bee Gold

Overview

Bee Pollen is often referred to as nature's most complete food. It is nature's true "superfood". There are many elements that your body needs every day and no one food contains them all . . . except bee pollen! It contains all the essential nutrients of life. Nutritional deficiencies are quite common today and bee pollen has all the nutrients that are needed for survival, except water. It contains more protein by weight than eggs, beef, or cheese. Bee pollen is rich in vitamins, complete proteins, free form amino acids, minerals, trace elements, fatty acids, carbohydrates, enzymes, and co-enzymes. Some researchers believe that bee pollen provides a better source of vitamins than any other single food out there.

As an alkaline food, bee pollen benefits and supports a balanced pH. It contains powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals that can damage our cells. It has nucleic acids called RNA [ribonucleic acid] and DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid]. Because of all of these properties, it actually makes a great substitute for a manufactured multivitamin. It is important to recognize that it takes one bee working eight hours a day for one month to make one teaspoon of bee pollen. With all its many nutrients, it's no wonder world class athletes consume bee pollen as a staple food in their daily nutritional regimen. There is nothing else on the planet that is quite like bee pollen!

Nature's Perfect Superfood

One of the main reasons I (Fred Kaufman) was originally intrigued by bee pollen was due to the research of Dr. Nicolai Vasilievich Tsitsin, the chief biologist and botanist in the former USSR. He is also an acknowledged expert on geriatrics, the study of the elderly. He spent years traveling through Russia, studying the people that lived longer and were healthier than those in nearby populations. Dr. Tsitsin was amazed to find more than 200 people who were over 125 years old, all still working and very active. What was their secret? What was the one thing that they all had in common? After a considerable amount of investigation, he found their secret…. they were all beekeepers! What was it about being beekeepers that was responsible for their extreme health and longevity?  They ate bee pollen mixed in honey every day!

You see beekeepers are like other farmers. They sell the best of what they produce and keep the less than perfect remainder for themselves and their families to eat. So they sold their best honey and scraped the bottom of the hives for the honey that they would consume. It just so happens that the honey that dripped to the floor of the hives, also contained a lot of bee pollen. Pollen is the male seed of flowers. It is required for the fertilization of the plant. The bee goes from flower to flower gathering the pollen and mixing it with a bit of honey it brought from the hive to form little granules. These granules, which we know as bee pollen, are taken back to the hive and then fed to the bee larvae. Without the bee's mysterious potion, the larvae would be unable to develop into bees.

One very interesting aspect of bee pollen is that man has been unable to duplicate it in the laboratory. There is something very special in bee pollen that just cannot be identified and reproduced.

For thousands of years, cultures throughout the world have used bee pollen for improving their health. Here are some of the benefits of supplementing your diet with bee pollen:

• ❖ Helps increase endurance and vitality improving longevity
• ❖ Helps support a strong immune system
• ❖ Helps maintain healthy weight and reduce cravings and addictions
• ❖ Helps maintain intestinal regularity
• ❖ Helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

As a food, bee pollen contains only 45 calories per ½ ounce, or one heaping tablespoon. It contains about 15 percent lecithin which helps the body to not store extra fat. It also contains phenylalanine, an amino acid which helps support a normal healthy appetite while eliminating unhealthy cravings. Phenylalanine has been used in addiction recovery programs, because of its ability to normalize the "pleasure center" of the brain. So if you're addicted to sweets and junk food, bee pollen could be just what you need to finally be set free.

Because bee pollen helps to support a strong immune system it can seem like a genuine miracle for people with allergies....myself included. Taking bee pollen mimics what allergy doctors call "systematic desensitization". It's very similar to what happens when a person gets allergy shots. They are injected with ever increasing amounts of the substance they are allergic to and their immune system reactions decrease over time, usually one to two years. Bee pollen was the first supplement I took that helped me overcome the allergy problems that had plagued me the first 19 years of my life. After taking two allergy shots in each arm, twice a week for a year and having no relief, it was bee pollen that finally gave me relief and changed my life.

Leo Conway, M.D., of Denver Colorado, uses bee pollen in helping his patients with allergies. He used pollen and reported very encouraging results: His patients had astounding results no matter where they lived and regardless of their diet. Conway reported that ninety-four percent of all his patients had no visible allergy symptoms. The other six percent did not follow instructions, but even still had some relief. Since some people (very rare) can be sensitive to bee pollen, it is suggested that you only take a few granules to start. Then gradually increase to 1 teaspoon twice a day. My wife (Kim) is allergic to bee stings and has no problem taking 2 teaspoons per day. As for children, 1/2 teaspoon twice a day would be sufficient, following the same suggestion of starting with a few granules, then increasing gradually.

We considered sources from other countries such as New Zealand, Spain, Brazil, and Canada, but we didn't see where there was any increase in benefits versus the considerable increase in cost. We are not making any health claims about the results you may achieve. Everyone is different. Always consult with your health professional for advice. If you are taking blood thinners such as Coumadin, or Warfarin, you will need to have your INR blood testing monitored as you will need to decrease your medication. But that's a good thing…right? We do believe that since it is considered a natural food and therefore safe to consume, it is certainly worth giving Bee Gold a try.
