“Pollen has been called the worlds most perfect food. It is the pollen from flowers transformed by bees into a food with strongly rejuvenating qualities. It has been estimated that honeybee pollen contains over 5 thousand enzymes and co-enzymes.
Pollen protects against radiation, including X-rays and the radiotherapy used in cancer treatment and can produce visible beneficial changes in the pigmentation and tone of ageing skin.
Bee pollen also contains lecithin which protects the nervous system from ageing. Lecithin shields your body from the affects of many radioactive elements such as strontium-90, iodine-131, krypton-85, barium-140, and X-rays.
Bee pollen also selectively protects the sex glands from radioactive iodine and plutonium. Some protection is also given to against environmental pollutants such as mercury, lead, aluminium, nitrites, even DDT which is still unfortunately present in our ecosystem. Pollen also contains nucleic acids which have been shown to be tremendously effective in halting and reversing the ageing process, tightening the skin and removing wrinkles, improving energy, vigor and vitality, particularly when taken regularly for a minimum of 3 months.
Pollen has also been found to increase life span. A study that was taken on mice were shown to increase their life span from 10 weeks to one and half years.
A diet high in nucleic acids was first pioneered by Dr Benjamin Frank who had astonishing success with it, restoring elderly people to a youthful level of vitality and young looking bodies.
In the opinion of Dr G. J Binding, bee pollen is “the finest food and best medicine ever discovered”. According to research in France, Russia and Italy, pollen is the richest source of protein in nature. It is also a valuable source of B12″.

From Radical Rejuvenation by Roxy Dillon

Bee pollen contains at least 15% lecithin. As lecithin is an emulsifier and breaks down cholesterol around each of our cells it can have a powerful cleansing effect. It can thus open up our cells and release toxins from deep within. This can lead to healing crises. A naturopathic mantra is always to start small and gradually increase. So in the warm summer months when the body cleanses itself more easily, start with a small pinch a day. Any problems stop for a week and then start again.
