Dear (Propolis) Scientists:
I want to inform you that in the Netherlands,
one month ago we started an initiative with more than hundred beekeepers
to collect an amount of propolis that is enough to investigate the
treatment of Corona patients with propolis, an ethanol extract of bee-hives.
Dr. Maruta in Melbourne has recently suggested that
propolis, which blocks the major "pathogenic" kinase (PAK1), has a high potential in case of Corona#. So we thought to give it a
try.
Early experiences in the Netherlands: Especially
from a district that is heavily infected, first signs from users during the
past month are positive: the symptoms are less severe and patients can recover
at home without hospital care.
Very sick adults were first treated with more
than 1 gram propolis/day on a basis of propolis powder in capsules or tablets.
We know that the ethanol extraction increases
the effectiveness of the propolis, so the dosage of propolis tincture can be
lower.
For providing the propolis in an easy way to dose, we mixed it with good honey (cold processed) from
biological safe grounds (free of pesticides/herbicides etc.).
This mixture contained 1% to 5% pure propolis,
based on ethanol extract with circa 30 to 40 w% pure propolis.
On this short notice we see that for moderate
symptoms the 1% propolis-honey mixture,
2 or 3 times a day 0.5 gram honey is enough. Severe symptoms take higher
doses.
We are in preparation of a large scale clinical
trial, and would appreciate your own experiences in this matter.
If you know any colleagues who investigate
propolis on COVID-19 patients, please let us share our results and knowledge.
We also spread out a guide for people to make
propolis-honey by themselves in the easiest way, to reduce the number of
people that need hospital care:
Thank you all for your research on propolis,
keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
Annette van der Knaap
Chemist, research on propolis quality in the Netherlands
and the rest of world.
