Follows an excerpt from "Swedish Flower Pollen Extract" a report published by the American Commission on Anti-Aging "Pollen and Sex" and "Pollen and Health"
Pollen and Sex
Pollen, as the male cell of the plant kingdom, has a well-deserved reputation for extra vim,
vigor, and virility. It provides all the biofactors that are precursors for the sex hormones, and
micro-nutrients essential for healthy reproductive systems. Exclusive animal breeders in
Europe pay top dollar for pollen concentrates that are added to their animals' food. Some
couples have reported increased sex drive and increased fertility.
Today, pollen extract is a super-food source used by many European and Japanese doctors
to remedy certain dietary deficiencies associated with certain problems of the reproductive
organs.
Pollen and Health
Clinics in dozens of countries have used Swedish pollen for a wide variety of conditions of ill
health. Swedish courts actually stated that pollen extract was the only nutritional product in
Sweden for which health claims could be made.
Twelve years ago, a large vitamin company offering products for doctors published a book
detailing nutritional therapy for various health problems. Pollen extract was listed as the one
recommended supplement that was common to virtually every condition in the book.
A key to optimal health is found within the metabolic processes of the body's cells - proper
assimilation of nutrients and elimination of wastes. That is how the cell can regenerate itself,
continually building new cells according to the genetic code of the RNA/DNA in the cell
nucleus. Since Swedish pollen extract is an ideal food for vitalizing cell functions, activating
metabolism, and "feeding" genetic RNA/DNA replication according to the cellular blueprint, it
follows that it is an ideal food for optimal nutritional health.
Pollen is truly a "glandular rocket fuel." The body's endocrine glands regulate all the systems
of the body by secreting very small amounts of powerful hormones. Virtually all the
precursors to these hormones are found within pollen extract. By supplying a wide spectrum
of essential micronutrients for cell metabolism and glandular function, Swedish pollen nurtures
the self-regulatory functions of the body for stress management, weight control, and optimal
health.
A Natural benefit of optimal health is more energy. For many people, pollen can provide new
vim, vigor, and vitality. Swedish pollen extract allows the body to enjoy more of its vivacious
feminine glow of powerful masculine virility.
Pollen has a powerful antioxidant effect, as proven in the pollen research done by Dr.
B.P. Poovaiah. Pollen helps deactivate or destroy free radicals created during the course of normal
cellular activity, or those caused by smoking or eating dark-roasted foods, such as coffee.
Antioxidant activity helps protect cells in vital organs against harmful effects caused by toxic
substances in the environment and food.
The Swedish pollen company has developed a special pollen extract product which is a
powerful pollen and antioxidant formula. This is a synergistic formula blend containing
antioxidants and detoxifying Swedish pollen extract. Pollen, when combined with antioxidants
in this specialized formula, becomes a potent free-radical combatant, adding to our longevity
and anti-aging plan. It helps neutralize the activity of free radicals and can nutritionally help
slow the aging process in body and brain cells.
In addition, pollen extract appears to contain a group of nutritional components which are
useful in helping the liver detoxify itself from harmful and toxic substances. The main benefits
of Swedish pollen are these: it supplies nutrients to the cells, boosts energy, carries vitamins
and minerals to the cell, acts as an antioxidant, helps the body adapt to stress, reduces platelet
aggregation, helps stimulate the body's natural self-defense system, helps low serum lipid
level, aids control of prostaglandin synthesis, and aids in liver detoxification.
Two of the most interesting studies done recently on pollen were conducted by J. Zhao of the
Shanghai Institute of Hemotology at the Shanghai Medical University in China. His team of
nine researchers studied a Traditional Chinese Medicine called pollen typhae, and reported
their results in the prestigious American medical journal, Thrombosis
Research.
Pollen typhae remedy is a pollen taken from the Typha angustifolia L. plant. Their research
found that this pollen has an antiatherosclerotic effect, and that its benefits are actually
multiplied by various biological components found within the pollen itself. They concluded that
pollen typhae has the effect of alleviating clinical symptoms of certain heart problems.
They also found that platelet aggregation was reduced significantly. The flavonoids in pollen
typhae demonstrate an antiatherogenic action as well. This study, quoting a pollen study done
by J. Wojcicki, noted that pollen extracts could lower serum cholesterol level, inhibit platelet
aggregation and promote vessel wall production of prostacyclin.
In general, pollen helps maintain bodily reactivity and flexibility and aids to help regulate the
metabolic processes and levels for well-being. Reportedly it also helps control blood
cholesterol and provides nutritional factors to help correct the dietary deficiencies associated
with various prostate problems. Pollen has also been found to aid in both weight gain and
weight loss. Apparently, it does this by normalizing the body's appetites for and use of
digested food.
Sir Alec Isaac, the Englishman who discovered Interferon, studied pollen extract for two
years. Interferon is a disease fighting substance in the body. Amino acids in pollen extract are
readily absorbed by the body, and are used by the body to build Interferon. Isaac found that
pollen not only penetrates the wall of the cell, but also penetrates the cell membrane. It then
combines with cell RNA and DNA and synthesizes interferon for use by the body's immune
system. Much scientific interest has arisen concerning Interferon over the last few years.
