The Healing Power of Pollen

and Arthritis
Old vessels must leak.- Torriano

Alin Caillas reports that in France 30 per cent of
all men over the age of 50 suffer from enlargement of the prostate gland. This little
walnut-sized gland lies around the exit tube from the male bladder, and enlargement is
certainly very inconvenient causing an excessive frequency of passing of water, especially
at night.
Even worse is the fact that the sufferer is unable
to entirely empty his bladder. Altogether an unsatisfactory state of affairs. This is
often combined with an inability to pass water which can only be relieved by the
introduction of a tube into the bladder. The condition can often be entirely controlled by
good treatment without the need for an operation, and indeed the operation when carried
out is nearly always very successful.
It is good to know that pollen has helped quite a
few sufferers from enlarged prostate but it would be exaggerating to suggest that it is by
any means always successful. But reports are sufficiently encouraging to make it a
worthwhile treatment especially in the early stages. The use of pollen is far better
established in the case of prostatitis.
Prostatitis
Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate
gland and is often accompanied by pain together with symptoms quite similar to those of an
enlarged prostate. Doctor Ask-Upmark of Uppsala reported in 1967 the treatment of twelve
cases with Cernelle pollen at a dosage of five to six tablets a day taken first thing in
the morning. Only two cases out of twelve had a negative result and the improvements were
striking in the ten successful patients both from the sufferers point of view and
upon careful clinical examination.
The failure was in first case, due to another
medical complication. The second was a middle-aged Norwegian shipowner who was in the
habit of wading in the icy cold Norwegian rivers with the water well above his knees in
order to indulge in his sport of salmon fishing. His refusal to alter this habit was, in
the opinion of Doctor Ask-Upmark, surely likely to accelerate his prostatitis and
accordingly the treatment was discarded.
A German-Swedish investigation by a team of
distinguished urologists, Alken, Jonsson and Rohl reported their investigations into 172
cases of prostatitis at about the same time. They found that the pollen preparation
produced relief in no less than 44 percent of cases, a figure that they found very
satisfactory.
One of the patients in the first group was a
striking example of the long-term effects of pollen consumption in that he had suffered
from prostatitis between the ages of 50 and 55 when he began taking Cernilton. The
doctors, pronouncing a cure, have tried in vain to persuade the patient to give up the
pollen treatment because he remembered a period of two weeks near the beginning of the
administration of pollen when, being abroad, he had forgotten to take his tablets and
suffered a relapse of his disease. He was accordingly scared of giving up his medication
and has so far seen no ill effects after nine years consumption of pollen.
Another trial by the Professor of the Urogical
Clinic of Magdeburg, Proffesor Heise, used the pollen for three years in a trial of nine
patients who not only had difficulty with passing water but also found cohabitation was
difficult and had bacterially positive emissions.
Suicide had been attempted by two of the patients
and four others were very depressed. A three-year treatment with pollen showed that in all
nine cases the bacteria were absent after a course of one tablet taken three times daily
and that all patients exhibited a considerable improvement both mentally and physically,
no longer had difficulties with their marital relationships and the passing of water
became normal. Professor Heise concluded that it would be a commendable advance if
treatment with this pollen preparation were to become incorporated into recommended
therapeutic practice.
Rheumatism and Arthritis
One producer of pollen products, Pollen-B, has
found that sufferers from rheumatism and arthritis have often been amazingly improved when
on a course of their preparation.
They have been so much influenced by the very large
number of letters written to them claiming good results that they are carrying out a
long-term medical trial in order to discover the precise action of pollen upon these
crippling disabilities.
These two letters are typical of many:
E.T., London SE9
I had read about your Pollen-B tablets earlier this
year and bought a three-month supply in July because for some weeks I had been suffering
with severe arthritis in the knee and in the arm.
I have now finished the three months course and to
my delight I feel no pain in these joints and at this time of year (October) it usually
gets worse especially as I had it during the summer.
A.J.P. Gerards Cross
I feel I should write to you as a result of
following the recommendation of a friend to try a course of Pollen-B. At my age (75) with
a lengthy history of treatment for fairly severe arthritis, necessitating the taking of
numerous sophisticated drugs in some quantity and at somewhat irksome frequency.
To my pleasant surprise, as a result of taking
Pollen-B, not only have I felt increasingly better in myself but, what is more revealing,
I have been able to cut down on the taking of certain drugs previously essential for
maintaining my mobility.
Therefore I feel it only right that I should
express my personal appreciation of Pollen-B if only to convey to others the possibility
that this food supplement could be beneficial and it is at least worth a trial course.
The changes to bones in severe arthritis are not
reversible but it does seem that even severe cases have derived some benefit from the
taking of pollen and we must look forward to the outcome of the medical trials which are
taking place as this is being written. Meanwhile, it is certainly a good idea, if you
suffer from one of these conditions, to give pollen a three months trial in any
case you will feel much better!
