      I'm keto and i only eat once a day at midday, but they are not wrong, i have problems falling asleep, and i remember when i ate something with high carbs 10 minutes before going to bed i sleep within 5 minutes and i sleep very deep. Now as i said that's not something i do it just happened a few times and i thought that was strange that i got sleepy so fast.

      This is really great Dr Ekberg ! I always though Honey was pretty good, but when you think about it, eating whole foods such as an apple instead of apple juice as an example, Nature never inteded for us to consume it as juice, with that in mind, honey is protected by bees and it would be safe to say that people would be less likley to consume honey if they had to get stung in the process. Adding to that Manuka honey is meant to be good for H.Pylori. which popped up in an occult in my early 20's
      Obviously with modern convenience and human tools we have got around being stung, but still makes you think...
      Btw, what is the smart board/ glass screen you use? that's awesome.

      Honey is my main go to for any cuts, burns and wounds. So many never believed me on how much faster it heals vs anything man made. One day I was mixing some lye to clean a clogged sink. I mixed it to fast with water and it instantly shot out of the large cup all over my chest creating silver dollar and quarter sized boils on my chest and stomach. As a test to prove all my naysayers wrong. I put honey on my right side and Neosporin on my left and bandaged it up. The next day the honey side was like 50% better looking than the left. In just 3-4 days the right side was almost totally healed while the left still looked the same as the day it happened. Same with cuts and so on.

      There's not proof yet that fructose causes NAFLD. If you look at NIH research is says "How high fructose intake MAY trigger fatty liver disease". But food is complex and certainly sugar from honey gets conflated with processed foods and artificial sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup. I think it's irresponsible for Dr. Ekberg to say that fructose from honey CAUSES NAFLD.

    As a beekeeper I recommend to buy your honey from your local farmers market. Never from Costco or other grocers as they are all heated and filtered. Do not worry about crystallization of your pure honey. One teaspoon per day should be the max.

      I have honey drizzled on my breakfast, and then a teaspoon in each of my 2 cups of tea in the evenings (green tea and chammomile tea) - (almost) every day! Sometimes I wonder if I'm having too much but I figured it can't hurt too much. Mind you, it is supermarket grade honey, but it says it's 'pure'. (I'm in Australia) 😋🥰❤🐝🐝🐝

    As a nurse working in a hospital in the north west of Australia, we always used honey to build tissue in leg ulcers. After the wound was clean we would fill it with honey and the tissue would quickly begin to grow back. Nothing else worked as well as pure raw honey.

    After I went through chemotherapy, my insides were a train wreck. There was no answer or cure for something similar to IBS. I struggled with anything when I could not eat any vegetables because it was something that went right through me no matter which type of vegetable it was. I started taking a spoonful of honey every morning and have been doing it now for almost 2 months and everything has slowed down to normal. I did not put two and two together with the honey until after I saw your video and many others which I researched. I am a lifelong asthmatic, and I noticed my asthma symptoms have reduced considerably. I had a long list of things that could not eat before My honey journey had begun.. The list has been shortened quite a bit. I will continue to consume raw honey every morning for the rest of my life the benefits are quite revealing. There was nothing else that worked until I started taking the honey every morning and then slowly everything started to change.

    We have been a beekeepers for the past 30 years, having them as pets 😉 They are the best! They don't ask for much, but give a lot!! 2-3 beehives produce enough honey for the family, relatives and friends! We have never sold any, but share and gift our loved ones with it, because we have plenty. Even our dog loves honey!!
    The only heartbreaking thing is when the neighbours spray their trees with the poison - it kills a lot of our bees as well. The ignorance of people is astounding!
    We have given honey to the neighbours in the past, but they continue to spray, because of the law, they say...
    Even in the years, when all the bees are killed, we buy the new nucs (nucleus hives) to start over! The cost is $250 now and going up, because the bees are slowly disappearing from the planet, due to the extermination by sprays and toxicity in the environment. The most dangerous predator in nature is a human, indeed.

    20 years ago i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, RA and lupus. I was recommended pain medication which i refused. I did my research and although i did not have too many bad eating habits, i changed my entire diet. I quit sugar, pasta, processed food, no more sodas, coffee, dely products and whole milk. I started eating raw vegetables and fruits with antioxidants, i started having honey every day and lemonades during the day. I am now 62 years old and healthy like when i was 25. I see sugar and processed foods as a number one enemy and i defeated them by saying "no more!"

Honey was an afterthought and what a pleasant surprise we had when the bees had surplus honey in their hive. We have a lot of wild garlic in our woods and the honey produced has just a little zing to it. Everyone loves it.

I’m slightly overweight but have a family history of diabetes. I try to live my life style in positive ways.

      I truly think people keep bees for the right reasons and I personally eat honey and I love the fresh day old stuff. But bees from man made hives can outcompete local pollinators including wild bees, bumblebees, butterflies and other insects. I kind of intuitively feel from a distance that beekeepers are praising each other and their operation as holy, and the fact that it can be a net negative for wildlife is not discussed. With that said. I think beekeeping is a genius invention, but it needs to be kept to a maximum amount of beekeepers for any given area. In some areas, 0.
      It's a common misconception that bees need saving, when in fact, it's the wild bees that needs to be saved.

    The best result of knowing what to intake anything into my body is: I always remind myself first is do not take anything, especially counter medication and prescription, and foods that had been processed, with white sugar, and a lot of fat. Medication can indirectly damages you organs too. I am watching Dr. Sten Ekberg a second time in order to absorb this complicate chemical process. I have been on Mediterranean diet after I recovered from non- Hodgkin lymphoma in 2011. I agree with you that white crystal sugar is not good for my health because after the lymphoma, I have psoriasis and eczema all over my body until the end of 2023. I have been adding a new diet to my consumption, to get rid of inflammation that caused my skin diseases. I have been decreasing the inflammation from February 2024. Today I have the diseases decrease about 90%. I am learning more about sugar and the alteration of it. I am looking forward to see more presentation about healthy living in general.

    An excellent video Dr. Sten. Especially glad you mentioned not heating honey, so having it raw and unfiltered. It's something very few people know about, but so important. It's also worth mentioned that the bulk of the honey sold in supermarkets, etc., in the US is highly adulterated, ultra-filtered, ultra-heated, and basically toxic. It's well documented, for those who want to look into it. Try to get your honey from a local bee keeper if you can (at a farmer's market, for example), or from a local health food store.

So when you say "honey" , distinguishing between these 3 is critical. likewise corn and soy free chickens' eggs, wild vs farmed fish, grass fed pasture raised cows vs barn grain fed cows.

    • @manukahoneyguru
      @manukahoneyguru 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      Honey production is a thin ice topic for USA market. Same time not many people understand what word ORGANIC nowadays means and what glyphosate is. Such knowledge and understanding require education and time to absorb at least basic info and people are lazy in their vast majority. Some say they don;t have time to learn. That is why, for example, commercial collection of bee propolis is prohibited in USA. I know why, but not many want to delve into such knowledge and continue buying "made in USA" propolis tinctures, sprays made from China originated raw material. Have you ever been to China checking out how they make propolis ? I did . You don't want to know.

    I really loved this video. I am in my 50s, and I consume 20g of raw honey daily. I also agree with you that those who ingest raw honey have a great respect for life and wellness. For me, it is not just one thing that makes me healthy, but a component of good habits. I eat healthy, I do not eat fast food, I go to bed at the same time every day. I do not eat late nor consume large amounts of food. I do not eat desserts, I do not eat processed sugars, and I exercise every day. I feel great, and I do not have any medical conditions to worry about. I also never suffer from acid reflux or lack of energy throughout the day, I make my own kombucha, I add vinegar to my food, etc... Thank you for the excellent information you provided! 👏

    30-35 years ago growing in Bulgaria our family kept bees. Back the practically everyone had a small plot of land (~ 600 sq.m.) and grew their own fruits, canned them (with sugar) and also most of the vegetables. If you didn't grow it and you didn't can it, you simply didn't eat it. Grocery stores were for things like bread, mayonnaise, salami, unpasteurized dairy (milk, cheese and yogurt), fresh beer (that would go bad in 3 days), etc. . So honey and bee clay (propólis) - we had 3 - 5 hives on that plot of land, and would use honey sparingly - a teaspoon or two one or twice a week. Usually with yogurt. But propolis tincture was helpful for cuts and bruises and even for gum inflammation. Honey was in clay or glass jars, crystallized and hard. Back then people really had no allergies. Fast forward 10-15 years western lifestyle of processed food and chemical medicine moved in - cancer, heart disease, circulation diseases, diabetics and allergies were 20-30 times more. I remember hearing of some people who recommended frail pregnant women to eat honey, but one that was collected about 6 months prior.

    Three stories:
    One: For over 20 years we raised our 7 children with NO sugar at all in any ingredients. Our only sweeteners were fruit and honey. Result?: Almost no sickness in 9 people. The doctor forgot our name. No cavities in any of my kids when they left to get married.
    I found that honey was not addictive as sugar. We did not want much. Honey was sweeter than sugar. We did not use as much in a recipe. We only got flu or cold once or twice in 20 years instead of every month. Children’s appetites were not lessened and they ate their good food without fussing. Did not cause cavities. I had started “no sugar at all” because I prayed for one idea to help because we had lost healthcare coverage. No sugar worked for us. We did not have health care until retirement age. The rare times we needed care we paid cash like Amish, and that was way less than health insurance. So it worked for me.
    And
    I had bad hay fever 25 years ago. I bought our honey raw and unfiltered from the local bee keeper. Also I took homeopathic hay fever remedy. In a couple years I had no hay fever.
    And
    Once I listened to bad advice and ate too much bee pollen. Over night my throat was closing. I took homeopathic something in the morning and it absolutely cured me by noon. After that I have had NO trouble eating raw honey, but never took bee pollen again.

  • @RiverReeves23

    Dr. Berg, can you explore the same concept for honeycomb. I have seen great benefits myself consuming honeycomb and I would say they are because of these reasons: 1) most honey is fake and companies often substitute in rice syrup 2) honeycomb ensures the honey is real 3) honeycomb I would assume contains about 30% wax, which appears for me to be a really good prebiotic 4) I assume there are also other things in honeycomb that are beneficial like pollen, MGO and perhaps other contaminants that we may not have identified yet. May it also effect gut bacteria by presenting a food that certain species prefer? Could it interact with biofilm? Does honey help to heal the gut and treat ulcers? If it is good for wound healing, may this not also be the case for the gut? I honestly think the interaction is much more complex than you covered. I think honey is essentially a very dilute form of honeycomb and the benefits are much more pronounced when you consume raw honeycomb, as it was intended in our evolution.

    I use local honey in my tea and when I bake. Honey does not taste as sweet as white processed sugar but we don't like overly or very sweet foods so honey works out great for baking. You hear people say oh, if you use honey you'll have to use more to get the same sweetness, well, that may be true but I don't miss (or want) that overly sweet taste and honey gives just the right balance. Sometimes I think it would be such a health benefit if people could re-train their taste buds, sugar seems to have some kind of addictive property of 'more is better.'

My friend used it for a very serious injury on one of her horses that left open flesh exposed and at first we wrapped it with the medications given by the vet but it wasn't really healing well at all and then we went for the honey on the open wound and it healed with remarkable speed!

    Speaking about honey. It came to mind Bee Pollen. That is from 15 to 50 per cent sugar depending on the flowers the bees get it from.
    When i was in my 30s i started using bee pollen 1 teaspoon per day. Shortly after that my wife got pregnant. I paid no attention to the pollen having anything to do with that. But at that time i was in business breeding parrots and thought that pollen could be good for them as i was sure in the wild they got it in their diet. Within only a couple weeks my egg production increased about 50 percent. So i bought 50 pound drums of pollen from a bee guy. Started feeding them more of it. My egg production went through the roof. The problem was the hens would not come out of the nest boxes to mate with the males. So a lot of infertility. I had one African Grey hen that laid in one clutch 8 eggs. It was normal to lay only 2 at a time. All were not fertile. This made me think that my own son might be from my bee pollen ingesting. Soon after that my cousin talked to me about how many Dr he and his wife had gone to and none of them helped with their ability to have a child. All the money he wasted on doing so. He was about to look at adoption. I told him what have you got to lose a few dollars, buy some bee pollen and both of you take it 1 reaspoon a day. I think it was about 2 months later she was pregnant. They had twin boys. After that a frien of mine who was also in the bird business told me her daughter could not get pregnant. I told her about my cousin. She had her daughter and husband take the pollen. Then one day later she called me to thank me for the advise, as her daughter was now pregnant. Long story short something is in those flowers that makes a difference.

    Bees actually produce three things. Honey, proplis and pollen. I use to keep bees and in some of the comb you'll find pollen instead of honey. Mostly I found the proplis used as you called it spackel or glue used to fill holes or sometimes I'd find the hive lid glued on so solidly that it was almost impossible to remove as one piece. I'll leave out the uses of pollen for now, too much to write here. Yes honey is a very strong antibacterial, I've personally stopped two infections with honey, comfrey and vitamin E in liquid form applied as a compress. In both cases the doctors were at wits end and had tried all they knew and the next step was amputation which is of course why I was allowed to try a last thing, and it worked.

    I’m an anecdote. Every morning I would sneeze for 1/2 straight without antihistamines. Allergy testing confirmed multiple environmental allergies. Allergy shots worked after a couple years and no more antihistamines needed. Allergy shots stopped due to a move. Morning sneezing started again about 5 years later. After researching allergy shots for another round, I learnt that allergy shots could be tailored from a blood test. Also allergy pills, but they take longer to work. So after a couple years of a teaspoon every night my allergies are gone. In theory, the bees mingle with allergens, and the traces in honey are like an allergy pill.

    All I know is that you are a honey Dr Sten. And today the people absolutely went crazy about your video. It was very informative and interesting to me too. I never knew little babies could become sick from it… I eat only raw honey and honeycomb sometimes. Here in South Africa we have lots of farmers who also farm with bees 🐝 so it’s easy to get the real unadulterated thing. It’s interesting to taste how different each type of tree’s honey tastes…I’ve always wondered about one thing though and I would so love your opinion on it. There is a lot of debate about whether royal jelly is good for women or not… in nature it’s made by worker bees to be fed to a chosen bee to turn her into a Queen bee and make her fertile. So is it beneficial or harmful to us women? Can we gain weight from it or can our hormones be affected by it? I hope you do eat a few sweet things on your Birthday on Christmas Day…. You deserve some sweetness now and then. I wish I could give you a beautiful gift but I am too far… May all your dreams come true and may God bless you and protect you always. Sending lots of love ♥️

From their bellies comes a drink of different colors, wherein there is healing for the people. This should be (sufficient) proof for people who reflect. (16:68-9)

    68 year old commercial beekeeper here, been working as a commercial beekeeper for the last 51 of those years, other than a few years off when I damaged my back and did other work till I recovered enough to get back into bees. (Still working I love my job). Beekeeping is hard physical work and often long hours so from that aspect a healthy lifestyle. However honey has always been accessible and I have eaten a lot of it, mostly pure and unfiltered, often by sticking my finger in a honeycomb while working a hive so the genuine natural product. Around 10 years ago I was diagnosed with pre diabetes, and now have full blown type 2 diabetes. Coincidence? No idea. But anecdotally anyhow, honey has not prevented me from getting diabetes.

    I buy honey from a reputable source near me and I did find benefits on gut health. I had chronic constipation that didn't get any better even after a year of whole-food keto, but using only half of a teaspoon daily of caper honey gave me relief within 2 weeks. No other type of honey benefited me. I've been taking it for the past 9 months, while maintaining a whole-food low-carb active lifestyle, and the constipation has resolved almost completely! So that's my little piece of anecdotal evidence :)
    Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. Highly appreciated.

    My dear Dr. Ekberg, what would you say if I tell you that my sister was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, so my dad used to force her to have one cup a day of pure organic honey, in 2 weeks her testes show that she is free of the Hepatitis. We have strong believe of using honey as a medicine. We always recommend that honey should be mixed with a little bit of warm water that way the effect is better and faster to heal your gut and or cold and flue.

    Hello Dr. Ekberg! Thank you for this great video! I'm following you for couple of years now and I've changed a lot of my bad habits regarding nutrition and feel a lot better (because your materials make so much sense, it's easy to digest and it's very well explained). It's my first time I'm writing on your channel and I wanted to know that you have my gratitude for all of your work Here in South-Eastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, Greece) the consumption of honey and others bees byproducts (like propolis that you had mentioned) it's, somehow, a part of our culture. We have a lot of beekeepers and a lot of good quality honey and we also consume a lot of other bees byproducts like: raw pollen (we keep the pollen in the freezer as soon as it's collected), mother bee milk, propolis (as a natural antibiotic) and pasture (a kind of fermented pollen). We were taught that these products possess huge both nutritious and curatives virtues. So, me and I think other follower, we'll be really interested in a video that will cover the science and the true facts about these bees byproducts nutritious and/or curative values.
    Thank you once again for your work! You make a great job in the field of human healthcare and body process comprehension!

      What about the bee venom? It cured my very sore elbow .Doctors here in New Zealand couldn't understand why it became so inflammed. My bee-keeper friend suggested a bee sting. I was horrified. He said that just slightly press the bee to my elbow area and don't let a whole amount of venum in the bee sac to be released into my body. To my huge surprise in a 3 days time all the swell, terrific pain was gone. (I took antihistamin tablets when the bee was applied though)).

So, yes, we may conclude that all that comes from the bees is beneficial for us to some extent, that's why I've proposed a video with the curative and nutritious virtues of all the others bee byproducts besides honey.
