The Healing Power of Pollen

Chapter Five: Hair and Skin, and Radiation Sickness

‘There is no need to call a hairdresser for your head. A sponge, Phoebus, would do the business better.’-Martial A.D.90

Nettle juice, jojoba oil, mixed spinach and lettuce juice consumed for six months are all reputed to restore hair. Indeed, there is evidence that all of these have worked. To this list we must certainly add pollen. There have been many reports, especially from those who have lost hair later on in life, of a new strong growth of hair appearing after the taking of a long course of pollen tablets for some other reason.

It could well be that the reason for the beneficial effect of pollen on hair growth and on arresting the loss of hair is because the pollen grain is rich in the amino acid, cystine. The composition of hair includes 17 percent of cystine so that if there is a deficiency of this important amino acid in the diet the growth of the hair is certain to be affected. Baldness comes from many different causes and there is an important hereditary factor which is also involved. So pollen will not work for everyone, but it is good to know that an improvement in hair color and growth of new hair can be a welcome additional bonus to those who take pollen regularly.

Pollen for the Skin

The beneficial effects of pollen in some cases of allergy have already been mentioned in Chapter 3. Doctor Lars-Eirk Essen found that the application of pollen products to the skin were of value in his cosmetic and dermatological work. He found that there was a suppressive effect in facial acne and that pollen preparations facilitated the healing and treatment of burns.

It is already well known that honey itself provides a very good treatment for burns and wounds and has even been used in hospitals for that purpose. It could be that the pollen and propolis content of the honey plays a part in the healing process and that all these ingredients work together in harmony.

If you are using pollen on the skin it is certainly a good idea to also take it by mouth because undoubtedly pollen increases the resistance and builds up a higher threshold against fatigue, permitting human organism to heal itself under the most favorable circumstances.

Radiation Sickness

Professor Osmanagic and his colleagues carried out some important trials with Melbrosin pollen capsules at the University Radiological Institute of Sarajevo during 1973.

They had been much concerned because even with the most up-to-date techniques, patients undergoing X-ray therapy quite often showed adverse reactions because of the effect of the X-rays on the blood. There are also digestive troubles which occur when radiation is carried out on a large surface of the abdominal region involving loss of appetite and sickness. Some times indeed the discomfort was so great that the general condition of the patient was threatened. It seems that the X-rays break down the body’s allergic effects.

The Melbrosin product used contained royal jelly and fermented pollen and was chosen because it was felt that the very wide content of naturally occurring supplementary substances should have a broad spectrum of activity. The first positive effect that they found was that the liver was greatly improved in function with four-fold increase in the formation of glycogen.

The product was tested on sixteen women patients who all had radiation sickness of various intensity. The blood and the liver were analyzed so that there was laboratory confirmation that the patients suffered from classical radiation sickness. The most frequent troubles experienced by the patients were tiredness, fainting, loss of weight, loss of potency, nausea and vomiting. Also anaemia was present in twelve of the patients and liver damage in almost all of them. It was found that the liver analysis became normal in the case of ten patients even though they carried on with the radiation treatment. Nine women had an improvement of the red blood picture and nine of the white blood.

The improvement in the general condition of these women and the reduction of their subjective trouble was even more significant. They were lessened in all cases and disappeared entirely in most of the patients.

Professor Osmanagic then checked his findings by taking two further groups, one of twenty-nine patients who took a Melbrosin capsule twice a day, in the morning and the evening, for forty days, and another group of thirty patients in the same condition who were given a harmless placebo made to look like the Melbrosin capsules, for the same period. A third group of thirty-one patients with the same symptoms of radiation sickness were given no medication at all.

All but two of the patients who had been treated with the placebo preparation showed a general deterioration in their state of health during further radiation treatment as did all the untreated patients. Of the twenty-nine patients taking pollen and royal jelly preparation, two reported only a slight improvement, thirteen a good result and fourteen a very good effect resulting in the virtual elimination of all the unpleasant effects of radiation.

It is to be hoped that this work will be repeated in European and American hospitals because these results do show that with pollen and royal jelly there may have been discovered an extremely safe and very useful supplement for those who need to have radiation treatment.
