The History of Neo-Nutrition |
|
The life-giving force of Pollen has been recognized for thousands of years. The people of ancient Egypt, Persia and China recognized the importance of Pollen to their survival and for it's remarkable healing and health-promoting benefits.
Pollen-rich honey scrap, from the bottom of bee hives, was a valued prize for ancient warriors and nobility alike. Warriors would eat cakes covered in honey scrap the morning of battle to provide strength and courage. During the earliest days of the Olympic Games, competitors ate Pollen-rich honey scrap for enhanced energy and endurance. In fact, ancient Greeks named this Pollen-rich honey "The Nectar of the Gods." In more modern times, a Swedish naturalist named Gosta Carlsson began studying the health benefits of Pollen in the 1950s. He noted the amazingly long life-spans of Russian centenarians who cultivated honey. He learned that these people often ate honey scrap as a part of their diet. Understanding that the life-giving power of honey comes from the Pollen in the honey, Gosta Carlsson began to develop improved methods for its collection and purification. After 50 years and more than 100 million dollars of research, methods for the extraction of pure, pharmaceutical-grade Pollen were perfected, resulting in a perfect source of nutrition without the common drawbacks of bee pollen. |
