Heime Geffen

Two months ago he 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.”
If this sounds like a sales pitch, perhaps there is a reason for Dr Geffen’s enthusiasm for the product. His son-in-law, recently back from Israel, is looking to market Lifemel in the UK.

The Science Behind LifeMel Honey
LifeMel is a specially formulated honey which could help cancer patients who develop Neutropenia, a debilitating side effect associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, according to a recent study.
The peer reviewed study published in the international journal, MEDICAL ONCOLOGY, highlights the beneficial role Life Mel Honey can have in patients experiencing ‘chemotherapy induced neutropenia’ Life Mel Honey, when administered to patients receiving chemotherapy with a known tendency to developing neutropenia, had a positive effect on the hematopoietic system and stimulated the production of red and white blood cells, hemoglobin and blood platelets.
Chemotherapy suppresses the hematopoietic system (blood production), thus impairing the body’s immunity mechanisms, potentially inducing anaemia and limiting the doses of chemotherapy which can be tolerated by patients. Febrile neutropenia, the most serious hematologic toxicity, is associated with the risk of life-threatening infections as well as chemotherapy dose reductions and delays which may compromise treatment outcomes for cancer patients.
The study assessed the use of Life Mel Honey (LMH) in patients with grade 4 neutropenia receiving chemotherapy for primary or metastatic disease. Traditionally, colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) are used for primary and secondary treatment in patients with grade 4 neutropenia, yet the use of these drugs are expensive and not without side-effects. In the current study, Life Mel Honey was administered to prevent neutropenia and reduce the need for CSFs in patients treated with chemotherapy. Blood counts were performed weekly.
There was no recurrence of neutropenia after LMH intake and no need for treatment with CSFs in 40% of patients. LMH was also effective at reducing the incidence of anaemia, which can often be a side effect of chemotherapy, in 64% of patients. No side effects were noted following LMH intake.
Further studies with larger numbers of patients are planned and researchers are currently preparing for Stage II clinical trials.

LifeMel Chemo Support
This unique honey is an innovative groundbreaking product for the support of patients suffering from the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Life Mel Honey is produced by bees fed on a special nectar derived from therapeutic herbs including Siberian Ginseng, Echinacea and Uncaria Tomentosa, combined with a selection of natural ingredients including iron, protein and vitamins. This makes a unique honey with all the beneficial properties of the therapeutic herbs and natural ingredients.
Siberian Ginseng has traditionally been used as a tonic, whilst Echinacea is a traditional herbal remedy and well regarded for its ability to help support the immune system. Â Uncaria Tomentosa is believed to have antioxidant properties and has also been traditionally used to benefit the immune system
Life Mel Honey is not artificially treated in any way and no ingredients are added after extraction of honey from the hive. You get 100% pure bee honey created with the natural herbs that are fed to the bees. Our honey is specially produced in a controlled environment which guarantees a pollution-free pollination process. Other than collecting the honey from the hive and packing it, the honey is not artificially treated in any way and no ingredients are added after extraction of honey from the hive.
A recent clinical study has shown Life Mel Honey to be effective in decreasing the incidence of anemia in 64% of the patients, decreasing the incidence of severe neutropenia and lowering the incidence of potentially fatal thrombocytopenia (low platelets). Medical Oncology, vol. 23, no. 4, 549-552, 2006 . This clinical study was conducted by Professor Jamal Ziden, head of the Oncology department in Sieff Hospital, Dr. Moshe Stein, Oncology department Rambam Hospital, and Professor Eitan Friedman of Sheba Medical Center. The results are conclusive: LifeMel is EFFECTIVE and SAFE and Improvement in general feeling and quality of life.

The New Buzz from Israel to Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 13, 2007 -- Why are bees receiving the praise over the launch of LifeMel Chemo Support in the US? And why are so many chemotherapy patients turning to bees instead of running from them?
With the launch of LifeMel in the United States, more and more patients are turning to LifeMel Chemo Support for relief and couldn't be happier about the bees. The distribution rights were granted by Zuf Globus Laboratories, the renowned Israeli manufacturer of health products and nutritional supplements made of pure honey from bees fed medicinal herb formulas.
76 year old leukemia sufferer and retired doctor, Hime Geffen, said that within a week of starting to take LifeMel, he began feeling stronger and his blood count started improving. Only two months prior he was bed ridden, his chemotherapy treatment had been abandoned and his white cell count had dropped to a very low 1.2. "Today, my white-blood-cell count is virtually normal. I am out of bed, have abandoned my walker, have played several rounds of golf, and I will carry on taking it [the honey," Geffen says.
Nave Koren shares, "On the same week that I have started to use the LifeMel honey, the weakness was not so severe and I could get out of bed every morning, cook and function as a mother to my children. The itching in my body was completely gone, I did not have any limb pains, and my hemoglobin level keeps going up."
Since everyone's case is different, each person may experience differences in regards to their own relief and benefits. However, what does stay consistent is that while using LifeMel there are clinically proven benefits to the immune system and improved blood counts levels.
According to the American Cancer Society, the 2007 estimated number of cancer cases for men is 766,860 and 678,060 for women. Since there were so many people who benefited in Israel, New Horizons couldn't overlook the fact that so many people could possibly benefit from this amazing product here in the US. They were eager to introduce LifeMel in the US and hopefully start helping the numbers of people affected on a daily basis.
"We are committed to making a difference in the lives of our clients," says Karen Schakarov, VP of Marketing for New Horizons. "Some patients begin feeling stronger within ten days of starting LifeMel!" With so many people impacted by cancer, it is wonderful to know that in some small way, we can offer some relief to those who are suffering."

How do bees produce the Unique LifeMel honey?
"Zuf Globus Laboratories Ltd." prepares an all natural mixture for controlled feeding of bees based on natural honey and adding extracts of various edible plants [therapeutic herbs] to produce this unique natural honey. The mixture of natural honey together with the edible plants' extract, substitutes the pollen that is available to bees in nature and, from it the bees produce a new type of honey, with therapeutic properties, respective to the types of therapeutic herbs that were incorporated into the feed mixture.
This method enables Zuf Globus to control the precise doses of desired food types with which to feed the bees and, ultimately, produce honeys, whose properties are predesigned yet improved through the synergetic effect of being formed in the bee's body.
