Honey: Universal Cure for Mankind
Written by DR. Mahmoud Mousa

My story started in the school of pharmacy where herbal and plant remedies were a major subject during a 5 year of under­graduate studies. The safety, simplicity, and effectiveness of the herbal and plant reme­dies was very fascinating. These products have been safely used for thousands of years without loosing their effectiveness. If you look back at ancient civilizations, you notice that all remedies were only natural like honeybee prod­ucts, olive products, fig products, date palm prod­ucts, citrus products, garlic, onion, pomegranate, ginseng, ginger, licorice, nutmeg, cloves, coconut, fish oil, cod-liver oil, and many other herbs, plants and animal derived natural products. Honeybee products themselves were the main components of most remedies in old Egyptian medicine. These prod­ucts were mentioned about 500 times in a total of 900 Egyptian remedies. It was only in recent civilization where science has clashed with traditional medicine for economical reasons. However, there is a strong movement now among members of the scientific community to seri­ously reemploy these forgotten treasures specially after the danger of using artificial remedies has become more evident.
I became interest in utilizing and discovering the secrets of the natural products especially those products mentioned in the holly Quran and Hadith of prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him. After finishing my Ph.D., I focused on the investiga­tion of the medicinal and biological activities of some of these products. In chapter 16 of the holly Qura'n, verses 68 and 69, honeybee products were explicitly described as a universal cure for mankind, "And your Lord inspired the bee saying: habitations in the mountains and in the trees and in what they (people) build; then eat of all the fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easyplants which are mentioned in the Holly Quran may include all or any of the different parts of the plants including leaves, wood, roots, (for you): there come from within their bellies a fruits and flowers; all these parts drink of varying colors, wherein is healing for mankind: verily in this is indeed a sign for those who give thought". Chapter 19, verse 25 and 26 the dates were mentioned as the only food for Mary, mother of prophet Isa (Jesus) during here pregnancy, "and shake the trunk of the date-palm toward you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you. So eat and drink and be glad". In chapter 95, verse 1, Allah swears by the Figs and olives "By the fig, and by the olive............ Verily we cre­ ated man of the best stature (mould)". This is a strong evidence for the importance and potential benefit of the fig and the olive. Other products like cucumber, garlic, lentle and onions have been also mentioned as food items in chapter 2, verse 60. Another interesting natural product is the black seed which has been described by prophet Mohammad peace be upon him as a uni­versal cure. The honeybee itself produces sever­al products which possess remarkable biological activities. Among these products are honey,propolis, bee pollen, bees wax, bee food and royal jelly all of which have been a landmark in the traditional remedies over the history of mankind as given in the example of old Egyptian remedies.

We became interested in investigating the benefits of these products, and in order to discover the secrets in these products, we proposed several assumptions. (1) The medicinal value of these must be tested for their medicinal and biological value; (2) The med­icinal value of the different prod­ucts of the honeybee must be evaluated based on their floral and geographical origin; in other words, the same product of the bee coming from different floral source or different geographical origin could be useful for different ailments; (3) Using the right dose is critical to the expected results; therefore when testing any products, opti­mizing the dose is very important to the intended results; for example not taking enough amount of black seed probably will not be enough to obtain the needed effect. In the mean time excessive doses are not recommended in some cases, e.g., if you use too much garlic, it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. During our course of experimental investigations, we discovered that the addi­tion of diluted honey to the urinary bladder tis­sue prevents the attachment of pathogenic E. coli to that tissue. This bacterial species is a common cause of the urinary tract infection. Bacterial attachment to the target tissue is the first step in the infection process and if prevent­ed then the infection will not happen. We also noticed that the peristaltic movement of a urinary bladder ring was diminished when incubated with dead E. coli, while in the presence of honey, the contractility was maintained and the bladder tis­sue was fully responsive to external stimuli. We have also identified a profound anti-microbial activity for honey and propolis. Such activity is unique in being a wide spectrum, i.e., works against all sorts of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and viruses irrespective of their resistance or susceptibility to conventional anti­biotic treatments. We have also discovered that extracts from honeybee products demonstrated distinctive superior activity in tissue regeneration and we used such extracts to heal wounds, burns, and ulcers faster while leaving minimal scars as compared to conventional treatments. Several other studies have demonstrated that honeybee products also exhibit several activities like inhibition of cancer promotion, anti-inflam­matory, tissue preservation, treatment of peptic ulcers, treatment of respiratory disorders and many other activities. Actually, this is a whole new field of safe and guaranteed remedies which needs focused researches to discover all the secrets lying in these products and their applica­tion in medicine and human health.

At B.C. Cosmaceuticals, Inc., we have extracted very effective fractions from honey­bee products and combined them with highly effective herbal and plant components in a synergistic ratios to effectively stop hair loss within 2-3 applications and grow new hair in 6­8 weeks. We developed several other products to cure wounds, acne, psoriasis and to regen­erate and maintain healthy skin. Alhamdu­Lellah we have been granted 2 patents and 2 more are still pending. We are working so hard to uncover these best and most effective nat­ural ingredients.
