I went to a local herbalist and she recommended this for me. Any thoughts? she explained that it is like a natural antibiotic and will help my current antibiotics have a stronger effect. I make sure to also ask my Llmd about anything I add to his protocol. I just wanted to see what you think.

I trust his assessment of propolis.

Make sure you read the last paragraph because it talks of possible allergies.

Right now I'm not sure exactly who, and I don't want to just guess, but one of our members swears that using bee propolis is a large part of why they healed. I sure wouldn't be nervous about trying it!

Good article, PeteZa!

Bee pollen is another choice.

Bee pollen is the pollen that the bees collect on their bodies. It is rich in minerals, vitamins, protein, lipids, and carbohydrates.


Propolis is a resin-like substance produced by the bees to help seal cracks in the hives. It is made from resinous substances in tree buds and then secreted by the bees glands.

I have used bee pollen for the last 6 years - more on than off - to help raise my immune function. I can tell when I don't have it, even small cuts don't heal as well.

Krimpet, do you use the bee pollen as well? If so, have you noticed it's effects?

Is propolis the same as bee pollen?
Posted 7/17/2016 5:47 PM (GMT 0)
Traveler I haven't, but it is something that I am getting ready to add. I saw in an article where it highlights it's use when your wbc is below 5.0. Which mine is. I've heard others rave about it.

Shanna no they are different. See my post above.

Please do let us know what you think of the bee pollen, and do you already use the propolis? I've been considering adding in propolis, but was unsure if because I'm already using the bee pollen if the propolis would be of much value.

I've been using this stuff that's got Royal Jelly, Propolis, and Bee Pollen: /www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00014J4SO/

Propolis is supposed to be anti-biofilm so I put a tsp in in the Cistus tea that I brew.

That's awesome, Project!! You don't happen to have any links handy do you? You know I love links!! wink

Have you noticed any difference since you started using it?
Posted 7/17/2016 7:33 PM (GMT 0)
Well I had been previously taking propolis in capsule form. Can't say I really noticed anything but had read somewhere that it's anti-biofilm. I bought the tub version recently and it is honey based so I do notice the tea tasting sweeter :)

The Cistus tea does have a noticeable effect of increasing the herxy feelings in areas I think have remaining biofilm - if I've previously taken something antimicrobial. So it does feel like Cistus is noticeably anti-biofilm. My teeth also feel squeaky clean after drinking some.

Great! Thank you for the information, Project! I'm due to start Cistus tea soon, and your words encourage me!

Can you take propolis while taking abx?
Posted 7/18/2016 12:21 AM (GMT 0)
Yes, although I'm not sure if there are any time requirements - as in you have to keep it two hours away from any abx (herbal or pharma).

thank you very much
