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.

How to Cope With Chemo: 5 Tips to Help You Survive Read more: How to Cope With Chemo: 5 Tips to Help You Survive | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_5062209_cope-chemo-tips-survive.html#ixzz1GJHWfnfB

Here's an interesting article for tips for chemo patients:

 

As a survivor, I've had a cocktail of poison dumped into me on many different occasions. It was hellish, to say the least. Medical studies say that happy and positive patients have a much better survival rate than those who are not. If you're looking for better ways to handle your chemo, and ultimately a better chance of beating your cancer, I'd encourage you to try the following tips:

Instructions

    • 1

      Demand -do not ask- demand pills from your doctor.

      Anxiety pills, happy pills, sleeping pills, whatever. Many doctors treat the cancer without a thought as to the mental condition of the patient. I made it through four rounds of chemo before I put my foot down and demanded pills. It made all the difference in the world. Don't make the mistake of waiting.

      You're being dumped with steroids, radiation, chemotherapy, and eight to ten pills to manage their side effects, so what's one more?

    • 2

      Eat foods with a strong aroma.

      Many people don't understand that nausea from chemotherapy has very little to do with what's in your stomach. What you eat has very little to do with whether or not you hurl. Soda and crackers keep you from purging about as well as a giant milkshake. Therefore eat whatever you can keep down. You'll be eating like a pregnant woman with the strangest cravings. During my week-long infusions I could eat almost nothing, however during the recovery process in-between infusions I ate smelly foods as much as possible.

      During your treatments, everything tastes bad but your nose remains unaffected. You can 'taste' with your nose to an extent, so maximize this advantage. Chick-fil-a and Pizza worked amazingly well for me.

How to Support Someone Going Through Chemotherapy

Here's a great article about Chemo support:

 

Patients undergoing chemotherapy often need support during the process. Your support of someone going through this treatment can help him cope with the physical and mental stress associated with cancer and its aftermath. Follow these steps to lend a hand.

Offer practical support by doing things such as driving the patient to chemotherapy treatments, sitting in on doctor's appointments, cooking, shopping, caring for pets and watering plants

 Check in on the patient. Often people undergoing chemotherapy treatment feel fatigued and overwhelmed and they may not have the energy to ask for the specific help they need. Do not assume that if you have asked a patient once, she will not need help later.

Know your role. Most people undergoing chemotherapy turn first to family and friends for support. However, there may be some things patients do not feel comfortable discussing with their loved ones, and they may feel more comfortable talking with other cancer survivors. Allow your loved one the freedom to seek additional sources of support.

Be aware that caring for someone undergoing chemotherapy can be very time-consuming and fatiguing. Arrange your own schedule and adjust your lifestyle so that you have adequate time for rest and self care, as well as caring for the individual with cancer.

Food and Fluids while on Chemo

Here are some helpful tips about eating and drinking while on Chemo:

 

Fluids:

  • It is important to keep your fluid intake up to prevent dehydration; 
  • Clear, cold drinks (water) may be better tolerated.
  • Try sipping fizzy drinks such as soda water, ginger beer or lemonade
  • Sip slowly, using a straw may help
  • Herbal, ginger or peppermint tea may soothe an upset stomach 
Food:
  • Start with small frequent meals and snack then build up to your more normal diet
  • Eat slowly and relax afterwards, but avoid lying flat .
  • Try not to drink with a meal, but have one 30 minutes before or after.  
  • Nausea may become worse when the stomach is empty so try to take regular  snacks.
  • If possible, a short walk in the fresh air before eating may help.  
  • Fresh air also helps to stimulate your appetite . 
  • Avoid wearing tight fitting clothes . 
  • Avoid highly spiced or rich or fatty foods if this makes you worse. 
  • If the smell of cooking makes you feel nauseous you could try eating cold foods
  • Cold food examples include sandwiches, meats, chilled desserts e.g. yoghurts. 
  • Let a friend or relative cook if they offer.
  • Try to relax and eat slowly in a well ventilated room.

How to Cope With Chemo

Here is an important tip while on Chemo:

 

Get out of your bedroom. 

If someone has to wheel you around, still try to get out and enjoy life. If you can walk, walk. If you can't, have someone push you around a park or mall. If your counts are down do this at your own discretion and avoid public places. But get out. Nothing saps your will to live like four bare walls and a dripping bag of fluid. You won't feel like it sometimes, but do it anyways. You'll hopefully notice an improvement.
