TERRY’S BOTTOM LINE:
Bacterial infections have become
extremely difficult to treat because of
the over-prescription of antibiotics.
This has led to resistant strains of
Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, H.
pylori, and other dangerous bacteria.
Finding an answer to synthetic
antibiotics is a must.
One of the best answers is propolis.
This bioflavonoid-rich nutrient
provides strong defense against
bacteria, viruses, and many other
health challenges. The properties of
this natural wonder have been well-
studied around the world for many
health concern and conditions:
•	Stops harmful, resistant bacteria,
	 including MRSA and Candida
•	Fights viral infection
•	Reduces inflammation
•	Fights tumor formation
•	Stops free radical damage
Terry recommends taking 100 mg
of concentrated bee propolis extract
daily. If additional support is needed,
increase to 100 mg twice daily.

ANTIBIOTIC/ANTIFUNGAL
Bees seek out the best resins they need to
protect their hives. They instinctively know what
works. Tree resins and plant saps perform the
same protective functions across species lines.
The main compounds in propolis include typically
include polyphenols, vitamins (including vitamins
B1, B2, B6, C, and E), minerals (including
magnesium, potassium, zinc, and calcium),
enzymes and antifungal and antibacterial
flavonoids, plus pinene and other essential oils
inherent in tree and plant resins.
Polyphenols, including flavonoids and phenolic
acids, are the prime movers of antioxidant
activity in propolis. In many areas of the
world, Eastern Europe among them, propolis
has been extensively researched for antifungal,
antibacterial, and antiviral properties as a natural
offshoot of both beekeeping and traditional
medicine. As antioxidants, the bioflavonoids
in propolis work in two ways: they stop the
formation of free radicals to begin with, and
reduce the potency of existing free radicals.
Other propolis research has found that propolis
has liver-protecting effects as well.
Strong Antibacterial Power
to Fight “Superbugs”
The over-prescription of antibiotics has led to
dangerous bacterial resistance, creating a class of
“superbugs” that synthetic antibiotics can’t stop,
including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus (MRSA), which is
especially troublesome
following surgery or anytime
the immune system is
weakened. Fortunately,
propolis can stop it.
A study at the University of
Heidelberg tested a propolis
extract (GH2002) against a
variety of disease-causing
bacteria, including MRSA,
vancomycin-resistant
Enterococcus faecium (VRE),
Candida albicans, and
Streptococcus pyogenes.
More...
Within six hours, propolis stopped the activity
of S. pyogenes, the cause of strep throat and
hard-to-stop skin infections. The study also found
that it had a high degree of antibacterial activity
against all tested MRSA strains, and inhibited
Propolis – Defends the City, Stops
Invaders
There’s little doubt that most people have heard
about the health benefits of honey – immune and
DNA protection are just two of them – but I think
fewer people are probably familiar with propolis.
Propolis is made from the resins gathered from
trees and other plants and then modified by
the bees’ own enzymes as they process the
material, mix it with beeswax, and make it into
a protective antibacterial glue and sealant. It’s
not surprising that the word “propolis” means
“defender of the city” in Greek.
Propolis was used as a medicinal ingredient in
the ancient world, and continues to be intensively
studied and recommended today.
Propolis Provides Powerful Nutrients
The color and natural properties of propolis
vary depending on geography. While many
bees tend to use resins from trees (poplars
and conifers are a favorite) as a source, other
flowers and plants are often part of the mix, too.
That’s why you’ll hear propolis referred to as
“green”, “red”, “yellow”, or any variety of names.
Interestingly, even though the plant sources
of propolis can differ around the world, they
all supply some benefits though many experts
prefer the European variety to provide maximum
benefits for fighting pathogens.

Candida as well. While this test did not show an
ability to kill off VRE as it did with other dangerous
bacteria, it was able to stop it from further
growth. Because of these dramatic results, the
researchers concluded that propolis extract
might be used in the development of alternative
products for therapy of microbial infections.
Other studies have found similar results. British
research also discovered that propolis shows
antibacterial activity, and other work has shown
that propolis has strong antifungal abilities,
reducing the activity of Candida albicans, and
inhibiting dangerous Staphylococcus aureus and
Escherichia coli bacteria. The researchers found
that it was propolis from Northern and temperate
zones (like Europe), that provided the phenolic
acidsandflavonoidsthatfightbacteriaandfungus.
Laboratory work in Bulgaria found that propolis is
a strong inhibitor of many strains of Helicobacter
pylori bacteria, known for causing ulcers and
gastric cancer. In fact, the National Institutes of
Health report that H. pylori is the leading cause
of peptic ulcers worldwide, and that about two-
thirds of the world population is infected with the
bacteria. Even though H. pylori doesn’t always
develop into an illness, the fact that propolis can
defend against it is just one more point in its favor.
Antiviral 	
Research at the University of Heidelberg pitted
a propolis extract (GH2002), against herpes
simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and found that it
reduced the formation of viral plaques (the areas
of cell destruction) by 98%. Interestingly, the
researchers stated that while only two of the
analyzed compounds in propolis, galagin and
chrysin showed antiviral activity separately,
other components of the whole extract,
(caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, benzoic acid,
and pinocembrin) showed stronger effects than
single constituents.
Other research using this same propolis extract
as a topical found that it also suppressed herpes
simplex virus 2, reducing the strength of the
virus by 99%. The researchers also discovered
that pretreatment prior to an infection was
significantly effective at stopping the herpes
virus. They concluded that the propolis extract
could be an effective topical for stopping
recurring infections as well.
Anti-inflammatory, Anti-tumor
Propolisismorethananantibacterialandantiviral.
It has been shown to stop tumor growth as well.
Remember when I mentioned that H. pylori is the
cause of gastric cancer? Well, aside from that,
a study from Thailand that found that propolis
shrank cancer cells after 24, 48, and 72 hours
of treatment. Scientists reporting in the journal
Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative
Medicine found that the polyphenols in propolis
were mainly responsible for cancer cell inhibition,
and consider it a possible treatment option for
different types of leukemia.
What to Look for in Propolis
Even though many propolis extracts from around
the world have shown similar abilities, some
are simply more effective than others, so be
selective when you look for your propolis extract.
Found raw in the hive, propolis is often mixed
with wax (which doesn’t break down in the
body or provide any benefits), dirt, bee’s wings,
and other debris. It needs to be purified and

clear of beeswax before it can be truly useful.
It should also be a clinically-validated variety,
so you can start off with a propolis extract
that has already shown results. Additionally,
the best extracts will be from sources with a
more “controlled” environment – that is, from
hives that are strategically placed near a stand
of specific trees that produce beneficial resins
that bees use naturally. That way you’re getting
a propolis that has been standardized and
provides consistent benefits.

Propolis - The Natural Antibiotic against MRSA, Candida, and More

  • 1. To your good health, Terry... Naturally TERRY’S BOTTOM LINE: Bacterial infections have become extremely difficult to treat because of the over-prescription of antibiotics. This has led to resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, H. pylori, and other dangerous bacteria. Finding an answer to synthetic antibiotics is a must. One of the best answers is propolis. This bioflavonoid-rich nutrient provides strong defense against bacteria, viruses, and many other health challenges. The properties of this natural wonder have been well- studied around the world for many health concern and conditions: • Stops harmful, resistant bacteria, including MRSA and Candida • Fights viral infection • Reduces inflammation • Fights tumor formation • Stops free radical damage Terry recommends taking 100 mg of concentrated bee propolis extract daily. If additional support is needed, increase to 100 mg twice daily. Propolis – The Natural Antibiotic for MRSA, Candida, and More TerryTalksNutrition.com 01421_0115.TTN102_WEB ANTIBIOTIC/ANTIFUNGAL Bees seek out the best resins they need to protect their hives. They instinctively know what works. Tree resins and plant saps perform the same protective functions across species lines. The main compounds in propolis include typically include polyphenols, vitamins (including vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, and E), minerals (including magnesium, potassium, zinc, and calcium), enzymes and antifungal and antibacterial flavonoids, plus pinene and other essential oils inherent in tree and plant resins. Polyphenols, including flavonoids and phenolic acids, are the prime movers of antioxidant activity in propolis. In many areas of the world, Eastern Europe among them, propolis has been extensively researched for antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties as a natural offshoot of both beekeeping and traditional medicine. As antioxidants, the bioflavonoids in propolis work in two ways: they stop the formation of free radicals to begin with, and reduce the potency of existing free radicals. Other propolis research has found that propolis has liver-protecting effects as well. Strong Antibacterial Power to Fight “Superbugs” The over-prescription of antibiotics has led to dangerous bacterial resistance, creating a class of “superbugs” that synthetic antibiotics can’t stop, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is especially troublesome following surgery or anytime the immune system is weakened. Fortunately, propolis can stop it. A study at the University of Heidelberg tested a propolis extract (GH2002) against a variety of disease-causing bacteria, including MRSA, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), Candida albicans, and Streptococcus pyogenes. More... Within six hours, propolis stopped the activity of S. pyogenes, the cause of strep throat and hard-to-stop skin infections. The study also found that it had a high degree of antibacterial activity against all tested MRSA strains, and inhibited Propolis – Defends the City, Stops Invaders There’s little doubt that most people have heard about the health benefits of honey – immune and DNA protection are just two of them – but I think fewer people are probably familiar with propolis. Propolis is made from the resins gathered from trees and other plants and then modified by the bees’ own enzymes as they process the material, mix it with beeswax, and make it into a protective antibacterial glue and sealant. It’s not surprising that the word “propolis” means “defender of the city” in Greek. Propolis was used as a medicinal ingredient in the ancient world, and continues to be intensively studied and recommended today. Propolis Provides Powerful Nutrients The color and natural properties of propolis vary depending on geography. While many bees tend to use resins from trees (poplars and conifers are a favorite) as a source, other flowers and plants are often part of the mix, too. That’s why you’ll hear propolis referred to as “green”, “red”, “yellow”, or any variety of names. Interestingly, even though the plant sources of propolis can differ around the world, they all supply some benefits though many experts prefer the European variety to provide maximum benefits for fighting pathogens.
  • 2. Propolis – The Natural Antibiotic for MRSA, Candida, and More TerryTalksNutrition.com Pg. 2 ©2015 Candida as well. While this test did not show an ability to kill off VRE as it did with other dangerous bacteria, it was able to stop it from further growth. Because of these dramatic results, the researchers concluded that propolis extract might be used in the development of alternative products for therapy of microbial infections. Other studies have found similar results. British research also discovered that propolis shows antibacterial activity, and other work has shown that propolis has strong antifungal abilities, reducing the activity of Candida albicans, and inhibiting dangerous Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The researchers found that it was propolis from Northern and temperate zones (like Europe), that provided the phenolic acidsandflavonoidsthatfightbacteriaandfungus. Laboratory work in Bulgaria found that propolis is a strong inhibitor of many strains of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, known for causing ulcers and gastric cancer. In fact, the National Institutes of Health report that H. pylori is the leading cause of peptic ulcers worldwide, and that about two- thirds of the world population is infected with the bacteria. Even though H. pylori doesn’t always develop into an illness, the fact that propolis can defend against it is just one more point in its favor. Antiviral Research at the University of Heidelberg pitted a propolis extract (GH2002), against herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and found that it reduced the formation of viral plaques (the areas of cell destruction) by 98%. Interestingly, the researchers stated that while only two of the analyzed compounds in propolis, galagin and chrysin showed antiviral activity separately, other components of the whole extract, (caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, benzoic acid, and pinocembrin) showed stronger effects than single constituents. Other research using this same propolis extract as a topical found that it also suppressed herpes simplex virus 2, reducing the strength of the virus by 99%. The researchers also discovered that pretreatment prior to an infection was significantly effective at stopping the herpes virus. They concluded that the propolis extract could be an effective topical for stopping recurring infections as well. Anti-inflammatory, Anti-tumor Propolisismorethananantibacterialandantiviral. It has been shown to stop tumor growth as well. Remember when I mentioned that H. pylori is the cause of gastric cancer? Well, aside from that, a study from Thailand that found that propolis shrank cancer cells after 24, 48, and 72 hours of treatment. Scientists reporting in the journal Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that the polyphenols in propolis were mainly responsible for cancer cell inhibition, and consider it a possible treatment option for different types of leukemia. What to Look for in Propolis Even though many propolis extracts from around the world have shown similar abilities, some are simply more effective than others, so be selective when you look for your propolis extract. Found raw in the hive, propolis is often mixed with wax (which doesn’t break down in the body or provide any benefits), dirt, bee’s wings, and other debris. It needs to be purified and Subscribe to a free weekly health newsletter at TerryTalksNutrition.com When in doubt, always consult your physician or health care practitioner. This column is to provide you with information to maintain your health. clear of beeswax before it can be truly useful. It should also be a clinically-validated variety, so you can start off with a propolis extract that has already shown results. Additionally, the best extracts will be from sources with a more “controlled” environment – that is, from hives that are strategically placed near a stand of specific trees that produce beneficial resins that bees use naturally. That way you’re getting a propolis that has been standardized and provides consistent benefits.
