BEE POLLEN


B ee Pollen is a food that is basic to all life. It is the male element of plants.Bee Pollen Since plants cannot move from one place to another for fertilization, they depend on animals or the wind to carry pollen from one plant to another.
   Historical accounts reveal that scraps of bee pollen from the hive were the main food source from the beginning of recorded history about bees.
   Bee Pollen is mentioned several times in the Bible; it was a common health food of early Romans; it was eaten by athletes in the original ancient Olympics in Greece, and now is rediscovered as a powerful energy food for everyone.
   Scientists show bee pollen as being a powerhouse of nutrients. According to those who study bees and their products, pollen is a highly concentrated source of essential elements and seems to be the most complete food in nature. It contains all water-soluble vitamins, ten amino acids, 27 minerals, trace elements, and different enzymes, and more.
   Bee Pollen is widely used in a number of ways; as an energy booster, as an endurance food for athletes, as a longevity producer, and as a cosmetic. Pollen is also used to combat infection of the cervix, bladder and general malaise.
   The Longevity University of Russia sent out letters to more than 200 people living in the Soviet Union who claim to be more than 100 years old. Three questions are asked: What was their age; how had they earned a living most of their lives; and what had been their principle food? The responses were remarkable, in that, without exception, of the 150 responses returned, all reported that their principle food was bee pollen and a large number of them were beekeepers their robust health, even at the age of 100.
   A former Russian Olympic coach, now coaching a team in the U.S. concluded a two year research program which provides a scientific basis for what had before been conjecture - - that bee pollen actually does improve crucial recovery power of athletes, which is the most serious problem of athletes, recovering their endurance and stamina. He knew that Eastern world- class athletes were resorting to bee pollen in their pre-Olympic diets.
   The results of his study show that athletes training on bee pollen not only gain back their energy faster, but actually improved their performances on second and third tries even after strenuous exertion. He divided the bee pollen testers into four groups - - a, b, c, d. Group D did not get any bee pollen at all.
   The results offer overwhelming evidence that without exception members of the A, B, C groups, all on varying amounts of bee pollen, increased their recovery power - - that is, quickly returned to normal heart beat, breathing, and readiness for the next event. The placebo D group showed no such improvement. Even more striking is the fact that the bee pollen groups invariably improved their performance on the second time around, whereas the D group, after shooting their bolt on the first trial, rapidly slipped downhill with poorer performances on subsequent tries.
   Bee Pollen, taken daily and specifically between exercises of high intensity, substantially improves qualities involved in achieving maximum anaerobic capacity. Bee Pollen, therefore, is a boon to coach and athletes alike.
   Bee Pollen should be used by everyone as nutritional insurance because of its completeness of nutrients and certainly, as an energy booster. Most people of this country complain of not having enough energy. Bee Pollen can be the answer to correct that tired feeling and thus give more incentive and desire to get out and exercise regularly. For top-class athletes, bee pollen is a must.
   Allergies are caused by the pollens carried by the winds, and not the heavier, sticky pollens used by the bee. When the bee mixes pollen with his stomach contents to form carriable pellets, all allergy causing substances are neutralized....Bee Pollen, therefore, presents no problem for allergic people.
   Bee Pollen also acts as an immunizing agent for allergies by gradually building resistance with gradual intake.
   One teaspoonful a day is the average recommended dosage. In capsule form, two capsules, twice a day is recommended.
   Bee Pollen is a food of extreme complexity whose composition and possibilities are far from being known. It is the richest food in nature, a powerful food supplement, a valuable medicinal aid. Hippocrates, Pliny and Virgil all believed pollen had an important role in warding off problems of old age and ensuring good health. Pollen is everywhere in abundance: we need only make good use of it.......taken from The American Chiropractor/Patient Edition/ Jan, 1979.
   History has come a full circle. Today, many of the world's top athletes have rediscovered bee pollen. Finland's Lasse Viren, the 1972 and 1976 Olympics gold medal distance champion eats several pollen tablets a day during training and competition. Although Moscow refuses to acknowledge it officially, the USSR's ice hockey team and many of their Olympic medal winners have been eating bee pollen for a long time.
   

NOW IT'S AMERICA'S TURN

   With Steve Ruddick's support, more and more of the U.S. Olympic teams are eating bee pollen. Take Herman Frazier, for instance, he is the first Olympic sprinter to be used as a starter for the U.S. Winter Olympics Bob Sled team. It is hoped his legs will give the team a starting edge. Frazier eats bee pollen every day.
   With this kind of support, bee pollen is likely to become better known among the general public, too. It's likely to be popular among people who are over weight and on a diet because so often these people feel tired from lack of proper nutrition. Conversely, it is likely to be popular among people who get over tired too often but don't want to eat a lot of high energy foods that are fattening. And with these two groups, that's just about 90 percent of the American Population over 15.
   And just think! It all began 30 million years ago or more. Is there anything really new under the sun?
