Bee Propolis for its reported immune system benefits .Anyone either using

experience with these?

Esther,

I have no experience with either of these. What I do know is that Elaine

strongly recommended AGAINST having the pollen in the honey, because,

although it may be good for people without gut issues, it can trigger

immune issues in people with those gut issues.

I can say that when I was initially on SCD, I had been using a local

honey to help with allergies, and it seemed to work. After I started SCD,

I had to quit using the local honey and go to filtered honey, as

recommended, because my system was hyper-reacting to the local

honey.

I am pleased to report that I now have fewer allergy issues than I once

did (go SCD!). I have been able to resume using a local honey (I like

supporting local beekeepers!).

I would therefore treat any of these, if you decide to try it, with

extreme caution, and be prepared to yank them at once.
