Breast cancer awareness has come around again and it is heartbreaking to hear that little progress has been made to stop this heartbreak, especially when nothing the pharmaceutical world has done seems to make any difference.
Twenty years ago when I started working for a beekeeper, I was introduced to bee venom that has within its component an item known as melittin, recognised for its ability to target and kill cancer cells – a natural product with no side effects, not a big money maker either, so not acceptable to the medical and pharmaceutical world.
I am aware that there are people who are allergic to bee venom and that has to be taken into consideration hence the warning to consider when consuming bee venom or bee venom honey.
Australia, in partnership with the University of Minnesota, picked up on this bee venom trail and started doing their research on the melittin component of the bee venom and have recently published their article which can be viewed on www.nature.com/npjprecision oncology.
In NZ, however, the bee venom honey finally got the authority as a food supplement and has been of great help to my friends who are affected by cancer, be it breast cancer or blood cancer.
Recently I’ve been asked by friends overseas to ship them the bee venom honey and have had very pleasant and encouraging news as one lady was told by her oncologist that her tumour has shrunk dramatically and also that the cancer has not affected any other part of her body.
Isn’t that fantastic news? My husband was also told that he no longer needs medication for his prostate cancer.
