<p>Chemotherapy is a god-send for cancer victims - there's no doubt about it! But if you have gone through it or know someone who has, you know that there is a downside to it. Simply put - the cure can kill you! While chemotherapy does kill fast-growing cancer cells, it also destroys fast-growing healthy cells, including red and white blood cells. As a result, one of the most serious potential side effects of chemotherapy is a low white blood cell count (neutropenia). This may necessitate a reduction or discontinuance of the chemotherapy, possibly allowing the cancer time to develop a resistance to the chemicals. The low white blood cell count also puts the patient at risk for severe bacterial infections.</p>
<p>How Can This Low White Blood Cell Count be Treated?</p>
<p>Conventionally, the solutions have been:</p>
<p>1. Administer certain medicines to facilitate the reproduction of the white blood cells (they all have negative side effects)</p>
<p>2. Perform blood transfusions</p>
<p>3. Halt the chemotherapy treatments until the body is able to regenerate the blood cells on its own (meanwhile the cancer is left unchecked to develop resistance)</p>
<p>Can This Side Effect Be Prevented?</p>
<p>That's where the honey comes into play. Honey has been used medicinally for centuries and is believed to have potent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. Like me, you may have been given honey in your tea when you had a cold or sore throat.</p>
<p>There are also many therapeutic herbs reputed to boost the immune system and help fight infection. Herbs such as echinacea, ginseng, nettles, etc. have historically been used for this purpose. A good friend of mine took these supplements before and during her chemo treatments and was able to endure the chemotherapy with little side effects. While it is true that there are many different chemo drugs and dosages, the various herbs have been shown in many studies to at least reduce the side effects.</p>
<p>A product called LifeMel Honey combines the honey and therapeutic herbs to produce the benefits of both. LifeMel honey is a very special honey developed after 30 years of research and clinical trials. This all-natural honey has shown in clinical studies (published in Medical Oncology) to significantly reduce the incidence of neutropenia and chemo-induced anemia.</p>
<p>History of LifeMel Honey</p>
<p>The honey was originally developed by a Russian microbiologist, Dr. Alexander Goroshit. After observing that beekeeper's families in a small Russian village all remained healthy during a cholera epidemic, he began researching the effects of controlling the food that the bees consumed. He experimented feeding the bees various medicinal herbs and discovered that the honey produced could definitely be enhanced by so doing. He continued to experiment with a combination of herbs known to boost the immune system until he developed the current formula which has been proven effective for oncology patients.</p>
<p>What Is LifeMel Honey?</p>
<p>LifeMel honey is an all-natural honey produced by bees that are fed a specific blend of therapeutic herbs including echinacea, nettles, calendula, avena sativa, melilotus, ginseng, red clover, melissa, mulberry, dandelion, chickory, bilberry, elecampane, fig and beetroot. These plants are rich in vitamins, minerals, flavanoids and essential oils that work directly on the immune system. Each herb has a specific quality to offset the negative effect of the chemo drugs, eg. echinacea is popularly believed to be an immunostimulator, stimulating the body's non-specific immune system and warding off infections; ginseng is an effective adaptogen and can protect the body from the stress of drug and radiation therapy; nettle strengthens the adrenals, allowing you to tolerate more stress with less harm, and nourishes the immune system.</p>
<p>So Why Not Just Take the Herbal Supplements?</p>
<p>In addition to the added benefit of the honey itself, it is believed that the digestive process of the bees not only incorporates but magnifies the medicinal properties of the herbs.</p>
<p>Conclusion</p>
<p>This seems to be a very simple solution to a very serious problem. If you have to undergo chemotherapy, knowing that it will destroy many good blood cells, it seems imperative to do everything possible to counteract the destructive process. Taking two teaspoonfuls of all natural honey a day (the recommended dosage) will not cure the disease, but may well make the difference in sustaining the white blood cell count so that the chemotherapy treatments can be administered to kill the cancer and not totally destroy the immune system. The combination of age-old remedies and modern medical knowledge can often produce better results than either alone.</p>
