from The New Buzz on Life Mel Honey
The Daily Mail (UK), 7/28/2007

Leukaemia Patient Says Medicinal Honey Relieved Symptoms

6 year old Dr. Heime Geffen made a remarkable recovery from leukaemia, after taking 'Life Mel honey', made by bees that feast on specific medicinal herbs and other immune-boosting natural substances

The day before I telephoned Dr Heime Geffen in Canada last month, he had played nine holes of golf, taken out the rubbish and played bridge.

That's not extraordinary for many men of 76, but it was a huge event for him because in October 2006, Dr Geffen was diagnosed with acute myelocytic leukaemia after radiation therapy for another form of cancer.

His doctors had abandoned chemotherapy in February this year, because his blood counts were so low.

"I had deteriorated physically to the point where I was virtually bedridden.

"I couldn't eat, I had sores in my mouth and I felt dreadful," he says.

How this turnaround happened has mystified everyone. It's just possible, although unlikely, that it could be a spontaneous remission or a delayed reaction to chemotherapy.

The other consideration is that, from April, this former family doctor has been taking twice-daily teaspoonfuls of Life Mel honey, made by bees that feast on specific medicinal herbs and other immune-boosting natural substances. His son-in-law heard about it from an oncologist in Israel (where the honey is manufactured), who had read a promising medical report and suggested it would be worth trying.

Within a week of starting the honey regime, Dr Geffen began feeling stronger and his blood counts started to improve.

By mid-May, they were virtually normal; he was out of bed and taking short daily walks…


The official UK website for Life Mel Honey was only recently launched in the UK. It's not cheap at £40 a pot. There is currently no hard evidence but it sounds promising from the testimonials. This exchange is also interesting: http://www.cmlsupport.org.uk/?q=node/490

If anyone tries it, let us know if it works.

The evidence so far from Prevention of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia by special honey intake shows that the use of LMH in patients who are at high risk of developing neutropenia as a result of chemotherapy decreases the risk of pancytopenia and the need for colony-stimulating factors. Compared to CSFs, LMH is inexpensive and has no side effects, and is easy to administer. Perhaps this new trial Profonycia - Honey for Improving Quality of Patient's Life Receiving Chemotherapy that starts in Sept 2007 will provide more guidance.
