Bees Help Fight Viruses - How to Prevent and Heal Flu, Colds, Stomach Pain and Other Bacterial and Viral Infections: With Honey, Propolis and Bee Venom
The use of honey, propolis and bee venom helps in many conditions caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi either by destroying them or by stimulating our immune system.
The author has collected the practices that have worked well in his four decades of experience as a beekeeper and self-healer for bacterial and viral infections like influenza, cold, gastric ulcers, reflux, insomnia, injuries, burns.
“The title of this book may be provoking – writes the author in the introduction – but there is valid scientific proof in vivo that the compound of bee venom, called melittin can destroy the HIV-virus, Hepatitis-B- and C viruses and it can kill tumor cells.“
You’ll learn from the book:
Why the smart and regular consumption of honey is the best choice for protecting the balance of gut microbiota ecosystem, reducing high cholesterol levels, in some cases also obesity, getting rid of insomnia, improving blood sugar levels and improving our immune system;
How to use propolis as a powerful remedy for fighting bacterial. fungal and viral infections like gastric ulcers, influenza, colds etc.
How to prepare simple honey and propolis recipes/healthy and delicious substitutes for chocolates, sweets and soft drinks.
Why bee venom is a viable consideration for those suffering from long-lasting and chronic conditions like Lyme-disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, other autoimmune diseases, aggravated influenza if controlled by an expert.
Why some medical doctors propose bee venom and propolis in the recent pandemic for persons at highest risk. You’ll read about the science behind this suggestion.
The author also describes how he keeps bees – besides in his apiary - in an observation hive that he uses for educational purposes and for self-healing.

In resent years I have been interested in how food effects the body and fights off disease and how it heals our internal organs.
Learning that bees help with prevention, healing, and pain is another fascination.
I find that there is a lot of interesting points located within. I plan on keeping this as a reference book and digging deeper into the the use of bees and how they will be useful for organ health.
My only issue is the text-to-speech is not enabled for listening when driving or for poor sight, non-readers, and the blind.

I‘ve been susceptible to flus and colds for my entire life. And then I met Mihaly: he taught me how to use propolis and honey in my home pharmacy. He also showed me how to take some hygienic measures I’ve never heard before. He gave me back control over this issue that has plagued my life. And by teh way the book is a good read!

“Bees Help Fight Viruses is a needed book that contains the key to ending the cycle of infections that ruins many of our lives. A simple alternative medicine that works! And by the way It’s a good read!” – Eve Bakos-Neurodevelopmental-Therapies

A simple book, in a personal experiential form, in which the author shares some of his life experiences in conjunction with his health issues. He relates how he benefits from the curative powers of bee products, such as honey, propolis, and bee sting therapy.
For me, none of these three are anything new, so it was more of a note-comparing read. I have known since childhood how not just bees' products, but also herbs, even weeds, can support our health and well being.
What I found slightly annoying is the editorial weakness: way to many mistakes!
The content related issues are based on a few contradictions, such as saying in one chapter that he feeds his bees sugar water in a blend of 1 part water to 1 part sugar, when their honey food supply is too low. - Well, what that means to me is that too much was taken away from the bees and they did not have enough food left to make it to the spring. That’s exploitation of another creature. How can somebody in a third generation of beekeepers not know how much honey the bees will need to survive?
Then a few chapters later, he says he would never feed his bees sugar water. Which one are we supposed to believe?
There are a few more of these conflicting statements, but I want to avoid writing a review that ends up being longer than the book itself!

Mihály takes you down the route of exploring traditional methods of fighting off illness and colds, and preventative methods using substances Bees create. There's proper curiosity and reasoning. They use scientific knowledge to support their theorised findings and experience. I do like how they consistently mention to always take self-remedies with care, and not to become ignorant of the modern health system.
This book is full of highlights and sticky notes now. It has changed the way I treat myself, and what I put in my body, being more intuitive. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is a bit of a nerd for knowledge, like myself.
