Heime Geffen - His Cancer and Chemotherapy Story

Two months ago Heime Geffen was bed-ridden, his chemotherapy treatment had been abandoned and oncologists had written him off. But now leukaemia sufferer Heime Geffen claims that he is showing improvements thanks to an Israeli-made honey, LifeMel.

The 76-year-old retired doctor was diagnosed with leukaemia in October 2006. He tells People: “My white cell count at that time was 2.1 (the normal is close to 4). Following chemotherapy it dropped to 1.2 and remained in that until March 2007. Chemotherapy was abandoned in February and I was not receiving any treatment.”

In April, Dr Geffen started taking twice-daily teaspoons of LifeMel honey, after his daughter Terri Barnett and her husband Ian heard about it from an Israeli oncologist. LifeMel is reportedly made from bees fed on specific plants, and adherents claim that it can help fight neutropenia, an abnormal decrease in the blood’s white blood cells. Dr Geffen says: “Being a doctor, I was sceptical about alternative medicines, but within a week I began feeling stronger, and my blood count started improving.

“Today, my white-blood-cell count is virtually normal. I am out of bed, have abandoned my walker and plan to play bridge again. Of course, I can not be sure that it is definitely the honey which is making me better, but I will carry on taking it.”

LifeMel Honey Offers a Health Solution for Thousands of African Americans

Word is out that groundbreaking LifeMel honey can be a of great advantage for the many number of cancer patients in the African American community.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2008 -- Word is out that groundbreaking LifeMel honey can be a of great advantage for the many number of cancer patients in the African American community. As many people know, the rate of African American men affected by cancer is 15% higher than white men and the death rate is 38% higher. So what do these sufferers have to gain from a little bit of honey?

Developed in Israel and now being distributed in the USA, LifeMel Honey has had a positive impact on chemotherapy patients. While accomplishing its primary task of killing fast-growing cancer cells, chemotherapy treatment can harm healthy cells. When the healthy cells are affected or harmed, there are unpleasant side effects, including low blood cell levels. If the blood levels drop too low, cancer patients are unable to continue chemotherapy. Without being able to continue the chemotherapy treatments they risk the cancer taking over and an uncertain future.

In a clinical trial published last year in the Journal of Oncology, 64 percent of patients showed a decrease in anemia and the incidence of severe neutropenia (an abnormally low white cell count). In addition, the honey was found to lower the incidence of potentially fatal thrombocytopenia (low platelets). "The patients taking part in this trial were the kind who had no other solution," says Yaron Shmueli a spokesman for the American distributor New Horizon, LLC. "They had already taken shots to boost their immune system and these had failed." Shmueli said that further testimonials and the clinical trials as well as other information on LifeMel honey were available on the USA website, www.lifemelusa.com

LifeMel Honey could be the solution they are looking for. Lifemel keeps their blood levels up and keeps them healthy enough to finish their chemotherapy treatments. "This is a fantastic story about how bees can help treat cancer patients," says Shmueli. "People who have to undergo chemothera-py don't have too many alternatives. We are trying to help them."

Now, although the number of cancer patients is so high for African Americans, there is a solution to help alleviate some of the concerns these patients face on a daily basis. They have so much to deal with already without the fear that they may not be able to continue with their chemotherapy treatment due to low blood cell levels.

Introducing an Israeli Honey that Offers Hope to Cancer Patients

Shmueli had tried desperately to find some kind of therapy - holistic, natural or conventional - for his father-in-law, who was suffering from carcinoma of the digestive system. Nothing worked and his father-in-law died. LifeMel Honey, Shmueli realized, could have been an answer. He was galvanized into action, and today he and his US partner Moshe Begim have founded New Horizon, to exclusively distribute the honey in the United States.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) -- Yaron Shmueli was on his way home on an airplane when he first read an article on LifeMel Honey, a new natural immune system treatment developed in Israel for cancer patients. It touched a nerve. Years earlier Shmueli had tried desperately to find some kind of therapy - holistic, natural or conventional - for his father-in-law, who was suffering from carcinoma of the digestive system. Nothing worked and his father-in-law died.

LifeMel Honey, Shmueli realized, could have been an answer. He was galvanized into action, and today he and his US partner Moshe Begim have founded New Horizon, to exclusively distribute the honey in the United States.

It took 30 years of research to develop LifeMel Honey. Produced by bees fed on a special nectar derived from 40 therapeutic herbs including Siberian ginseng, Echinacea, uncaria tomentosa, and other natural ingredients such as iron, protein and vitamins, the honey has been shown in a clinical trial to be effective in decreasing the incidence of anemia in cancer patients undergoing chemothera-py.

In the trial on 30 patients, carried out at Sieff Hospital in Tzvat by Prof. Jamal Ziden, Dr. Moshe Stein of Rambam Hospital and Prof. Eitan Friedman of Sheba Medical Center, 64 percent of the patients showed a decrease in anemia and the incidence of severe neutropenia. In addition, the honey was found to lower the incidence of potentially fatal thrombocytopenia (low platelets).

"The patients taking part in this trial were the kind who had no other solution," says Shmueli. "They had already taken shots to boost their immune system and these had failed."

The honey has no side effects and is completely natural - other than collecting the honey from the hive and packing it, the honey is not artificially treated in any way. Patients are recommended to eat two teaspoons a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. The benefits, according to Shmueli, can be felt in as little as six or seven days.

Many think of the honey as a lifesaver and there are numerous testimonials affirming just that. Apart from celebrities such as Sienna Miller and Kylie Minogue who are said to be huge fans, many ordi-nary people suffering cancer have reported enormous benefits to their health and quality of life.

Dr. Heime Geffen, a 76-year-old Canadian claims he made a remarkable recovery from leukaemia, after taking the honey. Diagnosed with the illness in October 2006 after radiation therapy for another form of cancer, his doctors abandoned chemotherapy in February of this year because his blood counts were too low.

"I had deteriorated physically to the point where I was virtually bedridden," says Geffen, a former family doctor. "I couldn't eat, I had sores in my mouth and I felt dreadful."

In April he began taking the honey twice a day on the recommendation of his son-in-law who had heard about it from an oncologist in Israel. Within a week, he said he began feeling stronger and his blood counts began to improve. By mid May they were virtually normal. Within months he was back on the golf course.

The company is also researching new potential honey treatments including one for AIDS sufferers, and another for treating women going through menopause. Clinical trials are now taking place on both these new honeys, and should be completed within the next few months.
