Cold Cure
Cold Cure
Many people can’t believe that there is one miracle cold cure substance found in nature that possesses the key to fighting infection. This substance not only kills pathogens, but strengthens the immune system.
Modern research has found that this is the only natural product in the world that’s proven to be antibiotic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal AND anti-viral all at the same time.
An amazing cold cure bi- product from the bees that has been used for over 3,000 years ago in preserving the bodies of the dead in the ancient pyramids of Egypt, and has now been proven through modern scientific research to accomplish all of the above.
Many people think that the chances of a natural cold cure substance successfully fighting anti-biotic resistant bacteria and killer viruses is about as likely as a pet donkey winning the Kentucky Derby or the Grand National. Read on and you, like me, will have a new understanding of this miracle cold cure from the hive.
Everybody knows that bees make honey, but few know the crucial part that Propolis plays in the life of the western honeybee (Apis Mellifera). The fact is that without propolis there would be no bees, no hives, no honey, and no harvests.
So what is Propolis? It is a mixture of tree resins and bee secretions used in the construction and maintenance of the hive. It is sometimes referred to as bee glue or bee putty. Just like bees gather pollen and nectar to bring back to the hive for food, they collect plant resins to make propolis.
Propolis known as the defender of the hive is to bees what penicillin is to various forms of bacteria, or at least what penicillin was before bacteria learned to outsmart it. But the difference is, we don’t encase our homes in penicillin to ensure that the stay disease free. Bees, those clever little engineers, do seal their homes with propolis to keep them sterile.
Because as many as 70,000 bees can live in a single hive, it’s imperative that the warm, dark, humid environment be kept free of mold, fungus and disease. And what bees have figured out in the 125 million years on earth, is that propolis is the most powerful antibacterial substance found in nature,
It is believed that primitive humans enjoyed the fruits of the industrious honeybee, dining on royal jelly honey, honeycombs and larvae. However it was the Greeks who gave proplolis the name we use today. Pro, meaning before and polis, refers to city. Thus ‘Before the City’ acknowledges that the bees line the entrance of the hive with propolis, keeping it safe from intruders. Some say, that a more apt translation is,’In Defence of the City’, so, this substance truly is the defender of the city of bees, the hive.
Because of the increased awareness of the vast healing properties of propolis as a cold cure, it is now available in a variety of forms in health food stores and pharmacies.
If you are allergic to bee stings and honey, then be very careful if you try this product. Also, it is important that you take medical advice before you take propolis when you are pregnant.
Prevention is better than cure!
Pregnancy and Flu Update
Pregnancy and Flu Update
Doctors and physicians are facing a huge problem in convincing pregnant women to agree to have the H1N1 swine flu jab when it becomes available in October this year. Due to the frequent media publicity, pregnant women have latched on the fact that the vaccine will be largely untried and are worried about its effects to the unborn child.
At a recent poll nearly thirty percent of pregnant women surveyed stated that they were likely to refuse the vaccination when it becomes available in October. They are more concerned about the swine flu vaccine than they are about the vaccine itself. Nearly half of those polled with children under five said that they would not have them vaccinated.
The drug manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to produce millions of doses in the shortest time possible, and they agree that the vaccine will only be marginally tested for its efficacy, but have assured the doubters that it will be safe with few after effects.
Normally, pregnant women have always been advised to try and avoid all medications as much as possible including those readily available as over the counter herbal remedies. However, they are being made aware of the fact that their immune system is not as efficient during pregnancy, making them more vulnerable to illness and infection and recommend avoiding close contact with those with flu-like symptoms whenever possible, and to take other precautions such as regular hand washing, a good diet, with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, which contain vitamin C, and to drink plenty of pure water.
So, what could be the reported side effects of the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine? They should be not dissimilar to those expected from the seasonal flu vaccines. The most common side effects following vaccination are expected to be mild, for example, soreness, tenderness and redness or swelling in the area where the jab was given.
Later, some people might experience headache, muscle aches, fever, some nausea and light-headedness. Like any medication, vaccines can cause serious problems and allergic reactions, particularly if patients who have shown reactions to egg products.

As a result of a recent poll carried out by Mumsnet, pregnant women are likely to reject the new swine flu vaccine when it becomes available in October this year. Out of 1458 who responded to the survey including 562 pregnant women who stated that they would probably or definitely NOT have the jab once it is available. The study also found that 46 per cent of those with children aged under five said that they would not take their children to receive the vaccine.
A recent letter leaked to the Daily Mail Newspaper recently written by Professor Elizabeth Miller, head of the Health Protection Agency warning neurologists about the swine flu vaccine of 1976 which was linked to a devastating neurological condition Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). “The vaccines used to combat an expected swine flu pandemic in 1976 were shown to be associated with GBS and were withdrawn from use”. As a result thousands of people sued believing that they suffered side effects from this vaccine. Following the 1976 mass vaccination against swine flu in the US, a retrospective study found a possible eight-fold increase in the incidence of GBS. More people died of the flu jab than from swine flu, as a result the vaccine was withdrawn after just 10 weeks.
There are now concerns about the fast track testing procedures and doctors have been told to monitor the vaccine to detect any side effects in particular the deadly (GBS) which causes respiratory failure and death.
The drug companies making the Tamiflu vaccine are under enormous pressure to produce millions of doses as quickly as possible; as a result they will only be marginally tested for quality. This fast track approval has been authorised by the FDA for the H1N1 vaccine, both in the USA and Europe.
Governments face an uphill task to convince pregnant women to agree to have the swine flu jab. According to reports many more are worried about the vaccine itself rather than the virus. The fact is that the vaccine has yet to be tested on children and pregnant mothers, which are one of the main groups to be targeted for the first flu shots.

The new flu treatment using Tamiflu could possibly put some patients at an increased risk of a stroke.
The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have received more than 400 reports of Tamiflu vaccine side effects since the start of the swine flu outbreak, and now doctors have been notified that Tamiflu can interact with the anticoagulant Warfarin and prove fatal to those taking their daily Warfarin medication. The combination can cause uncontrolled internal bleeding which can result in a stroke
Warfarin is a blood thinning drug taken by millions of patients worldwide, including those who have had heart surgery. Doses are usually monitored by a blood test on a regular basis depending upon their clotting ratio known as the International Normalised Ratio (INR). A ratio of between two and three is the norm, that is to say that the ‘stickiness’ of the blood can be up to three times thinner than the average person, the higher the INR rate the thinner the blood. The worry is that Tamiflu could thin the blood even further, causing a stroke or excessive bleeding.
The situation is disturbing as Tamiflu medication for H1N1 flu treatment can be purchased on the internet without a doctor’s prescription and even prescribed via telephone in the UK and delivered to designated collection points.
Oxford University researchers last week said that children should not be given the anti-viral drug as those who were otherwise in good health could suffer more harm than benefit from taking Tamiflu or Relenza the alternative anti-viral. Over half of all children who received it have had side effects including. Sleep problems,
- Stomach cramps
- Nausea
- Psychiatric problems, including nightmares, and unusual behavior.
As a result the MHRA stressed that anyone who is already taking medication for an underlying condition should check with their medical practitioner before embarking on Tamiflu flu treatment course.
