Bee venom therapy works by modulating the immune system without suppressing it. Bee venom is rich in over 30 active pharmacological components. Among these are several key ingredients:

Bee Venom Properties

Melittin

Melittin, which constitutes about 40-60% of bee venom, possesses antimicrobial abilities, counters the formation of free radicals, and is composed of 26 amino acids.

1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Melittin has been shown to exert significant anti-inflammatory effects, which can help in the treatment of conditions like arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.
2. Pain Relief: Due to its powerful anti-inflammatory action, melittin can also act as a pain reliever, reducing the sensation of pain in conditions like chronic inflammatory diseases.
3. Antimicrobial Activity: The compound has been found to have antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it potentially useful in fighting infections.
4. Immune System Modulation: Melittin may modulate the immune system, which can be beneficial in treating autoimmune diseases and allergies.
5. Support of Circadian Rhythms: By stimulating the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), melittin may help in regulating circadian rhythms and potentially aiding sleep-related issues.

Peptide 401

Peptide 401 in bee venom is a remarkable anti-inflammatory, believed to be 100 times more potent than hydrocortisone, yet devoid of the side effects commonly associated with synthetic drugs.

Hyaluronidase

Hyaluronidase and phospholipase, also present in bee venom, play a role in breaking down the microbial biofilm, a protective layer surrounding bacterial cells.

Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, dopamine, apamin, and adolapin are instrumental in the healing properties of bee venom:
* Acetylcholine contributes to the repair of nerve coverings, aids in the prevention of red blood cells clumping, and promotes blood viscosity balance.
* Dopamine is known to boost motor skills.
* Apamin facilitates neurotransmission, lifts mood by releasing endorphins, balances hormones, regulates the immune system, repairs nerve damage, and includes 18 amino acids.
* Adolapin provides analgesic relief, making it crucial for individuals dealing with chronic pain.

Propolis

Propolis, regarded as nature's antibiotic, is composed of:
* Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), which has anti-carcinogenic, anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory attributes.
* Interferons are proteins that activate the immune system against pathogens like viruses, bacteria, parasites, and tumor cells.
* Galangin, a flavonoid with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, along with caffeic acid.
* A complete profile of vitamins A, C, E, and all the B vitamins.
Propolis enhances immune system regulation, boosts phagocyte activity aiding in the detoxification of the liver and heart, scavenges free radicals, and disrupts bacterial biofilms, making it particularly effective against Lyme disease, candida, and similar organisms.

Pollen

Bee Pollen, labeled as a 'Complete Food', contains an impressive range of vital nutrients:
* A protein content surpassing any animal source.
* A wealth of free amino acids, sugars, minerals, vitamins, and B-complex.
* Rutin, which supports capillary strength, reduces inflammation, and acts as a powerful antioxidant. Nucleic elements like RNA and DNA.
* Cellulose and fiber, which aid in digestive regulation.
Bee Pollen offers anti-viral and anti-bacterial benefits that support digestive health and is particularly beneficial for those with allergies, providing homeopathic levels of allergens to help alleviate allergic reactions. It's recommended to start bee pollen intake six weeks before allergy season and to continue through the season.

Royal Jelly

Royal Jelly is a powerhouse of nutrients, offering an abundance of beneficial substances:
* Acetylcholine, a vital neurotransmitter, aids nerve damage repair and maintains proper blood viscosity. Nucleic acids like DNA and RNA are essential for cellular repair, energy, and nutrient provision.
* A broad spectrum of minerals, vitamins, and the complete set of water-soluble B vitamins.
* Decanoic acid, a strong defender against bacteria and fungi.
* Gamma globulin and a gelatinous substance similar to collagen.
Royal Jelly has been noted to reduce blood pressure, support the nervous system, enhance cognitive function, balance hormones, possess anti-aging properties, improve skin health, aid in healing gastroduodenal ulcers, and decrease tremors associated with Parkinson's disease.

Raw Organic Honey

Raw Honey is unique in that it possesses anti-sugar qualities bestowed by floral flavones, which are bioflavonoids with strong antioxidant capabilities that aid in regulating blood glucose levels.
Raw Honey's properties include being anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal, and its capacity to promote tissue granulation makes it a top choice for wound care. Like Pollen, Local Raw Honey can help relieve allergies.
Moreover, Raw Honey is highly effective for sinus infections, colds, and ear infections, thanks to an enzyme it contains, glucose oxidase, which produces hydrogen peroxide upon contact with the mucous membranes in the nasal passages and ear canal. This allows honey to clear these areas of persistent infections. Although there may be a temporary burning sensation, raw organic honey is gentle on the membranes.
