This is not the first time I have posted an article regarding the use of bee products to improve health conditions. In fact, previous studies have indicated that such products have helped combat dental plaque and Lyme disease.

There are a number of important distinctions to make clear here. The first is that multiple bee products were used. So it wasn't just honey. Bee products like propolis and royal jelly can be very powerful natural healing adjuncts if used wisely and properly. Bee venom has some incredibly potent neuroactive peptides that can also be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

One of the confusions in using bee products, though, is in regard to honey. Many feel because honey is "natural" it is ok to use, but this simply is not true. This is because the vast majority of honey consumed in this country is processed or refined. And, like most refined foods, it can promote disease and damage your health. That is why if you are going to use honey it should be raw honey. Raw honey is likely to promote health as long as it is used in moderation and you do not suffer from signs of elevated insulin such as:

• Overweight
• High blood pressure
• High blood cholesterol
• Diabetes

So the summary of this study is that bee products can be useful for a variety of conditions, including cancer. But be VERY careful about using any product, even natural ones, as the ONLY approach to treating a complex illness like cancer, as it is likely to be counterproductive.

Five Healthy Alternatives to Fighting Cancer

1. Avoid sugar since it is the primary fuel for most cancers. There is not ONE SINGLE FOOD item that is generally more damaging to your health.

2. Optimize your vitamin D levels as vitamin D is probably the single most important vitamin in preventing and treating cancers.

3. Make sure you get sufficient cod liver oil or fish oil

4. Make sure you exercise, as this will help lower your insulin levels.

5. Get sufficient sunlight, though this may be near impossible for those of us who live in the north during the winter. This is why I recommend using light boxes like the Bio-Pure Light Boxes, as they contain light bulbs that project full-spectrum sunlight. You see, in order to achieve natural balanced sunlight INDOORS it is important that your light bulbs contain a full spectrum of color, as well as infrared and ultraviolet wavelengths.
