[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

[Function]

1 Enhancing immunity and delaying aging;

2 Resisting radiation and tumor;

3 Regulating nervous system and metabolism, effectively limiting melancholy feeling and mood, and promoting mental status;

4 Protecting cardiovascular, dilating coronary artery,preventing coronary arteriosclerosis and arrhythmia.

Jon Christie, owner of Wild Mountain Bees in North Carolina, reviews the recommended tools for bee keeping. We take a look at the smoker, a device that is used to disrupt the communication between bees. This is thought to dull the alarm response among the bee colony and facilitate a bee keeper’s work within the hive. Jon uses dried pine needles in his smoker and makes sure that once the fire is lit at the bottom, the smoke that bellows out is cool to the touch. It’s important not to have the fire too hot as it could injure the bees. A hive tool is helpful in separating the boxes of the hive, especially once they become sealed over time with wax and propolis. Once the hive is opened, this tool is also used to lift frames from the box. Lastly, good protective gear is recommended for a beginning bee keeper. Bee stings release pheromones that warn other bees and can potentially give rise to more stings, so wearing protective gear can greatly improve a beginner’s experience with bees.

Well, this is rather easily to answer. Glucan has one really big advantage, it is the most studied immunomodulator or natural immonomodulator of them all. The biological studies go to tens of thousands. If you think of anything else you might find 10 papers, 15 papers. So that’s one thing. You might not believe in scientific studies from one group or you might say it is coming from China, or it is not good or this scientist is not good. But if you have 10,000 papers from all around the world they cannot ignore it. These guys could not just start to think something from the hip. That is one thing and the second is glucan is a simple molecule from a rather simple source. Even if you have a rather low purity, you still have 65% of pure glucan in it you take any medicine plan, some people either boil leaves, they boil roots sometimes the whole plant, you never know. And that’s it, they call it the extract or this plant or the extract of that plant. You might probably have 50 to 100 different molecules inside, you don’t even know which 100. Some will have a stimulating effect, some will have opposite effects, most will have no effect and nobody has money or even inclination to find out which of the 100 is the active one. You are more thinking about what your grand grandmother maybe told you “cut this finger put this plant on it” but the science behind it is not there yet.

We did a couple of studies and we published them comparing some individual glucans to individual immune-modulators like Echinacea. That is one example, most of the clinical studies on that plant failed because one company is using leaves, one is using roots and each has a different quality inside so you never know what you get. With the mixtures, it is even worse because some manufacturers are just trying to either increase the price by putting five things together, so it’s not 30 bucks it’s now $50. Or some are putting it together to give you more material or the money. None of them are actually doing any research. That yeah, you should actually put this, this and that so there is very little research done on what would be better if you combine it. With glucan we now know at least three substances which work better together but with other artificial mixtures you are on your own. And we did the study, we compared it and the mixtures were always on the bottom of the list.
