Update: I don't vape propolis (or anything else) on a regular basis, as I believe fresh air is the best thing for my lungs. However, there is evidence from other sources of the anti-viral properties of propolis, so it would make sense to attack an airborne infection by means of vapourised (not incinerated) propolis. In any case, as of January 2022, I have had no vaccines and have so far no viral infection.
The International Propolis Research Group (IPRG) is holding a two day online conference to discuss everything propolis this month! Starting on the 27th May, there are various keynote speeches and short lectures from all over the globe! Anybody who's interested head over to our website!
If we could get it turned into an oil or mixed with other essential oils without degrading the integrity, we could use it in an essential oil diffuser instead so that whole families could get the benefit at once
You can! I recommend making it yourself, at home. Many PRE-made tinctures, & oil extracts, etc.., Get over processed.. depriving of the natural, maximum nutritional & antioxidant value.
This is awesome. Great idea. We already vaporize propolis in homes to disinfect from germs. This is more of a direct way to get more in your system where a virus would replicate. In my opinion I like this idea.
Excellent! A totally dispassionate, objective and interesting experiment; I just took the first large lump of propolis from one of my hives so I may well give this a try! Thanks and please keep us posted to the effects...
God man the people complaining about this video are so annoying. Why can’t somebody be free to delve into an idea without getting shot down. It’s not affecting anybody else an he hasn’t recommended anybody else to do it
Only you, old chap! Brilliantly entertaining. A nice break from the misery of mainsream media coverage. Kept expecting your voice to slip into a Darth Vader impression after each puff. Will they not to laugh if you come down with cv19. Stay well and look forward to catching up after this is all over.
I'm looking forward to an update on progress, has the self experimentation showed any benefit? Personally, I prefer a steam treatment with birch sap, containing betulinic acid.
@@BarefootBeekeeper I hope it stays that way for you! I've decided to use 100ml of Birch Sap as a Japanese style water therapy first thing in the morning. And to leave a steamer of Birch Sap, going for a half hour or so in the kitchen and waft it around the house. It reminds me of coconut milk.
Very interesting experiment, Phil. I'm also extremely curious about what's happened since then. Did you carry on vaping it? If so, how often? Did you ever get the virus? Did you opt to be injected instead?
😃 there's that inquisitive mind 😉 Recon your throat tickle is ?allergies? Hope propolis helps too. Wonder if those of us with no vapor just put a bit of propolis in a bit of hot water and breathed the steam? Stay well. We appreciate you!!
Mary Ann I think your idea is brilliant! Inhaling the steam from propolis in water is a much safer and more pure way to get propolis into your airways! Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🐝🐝 ✌💛 🐝 🐝 🐝
When I heard your thoughts on vaping propolis a couple of vids ago, I thought of a bowl of hot water, propolis tincture and a towel. I've been vaping for about three years, and wouldn't dream of trying this
It may be the link wasnt copied properly, heres one paper on the effect of propolis on Herpes. Antiviral Activity of Hatay Propolis Against Replication of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 and Type 2 www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4750782/
Problem is it is antibacterial properties you are looking at not antiviral. Viruses are basically dead and are unable to reproduce without a living cell to do the work. If propolis errodes the lipid coating, as hand washing does, then you may have something.
Very interesting. If heating it doesn't destroy its properties, couldn't you just put a few drops of propolis tincture, wax etc in a bowl of hot water, and inhale deeply with a towel over your head, like I usually do with tiger balm when I have a cold, or am I missing something? If nothing else then this must have given everyone a smile, it did me. Shame people can't listen to your points properly before making irrelevant objections. Take care Phil.
I would monitor your health and particularly breathing and oxygen saturation levels closely for a while. Pharmacies sell oxymeters quite inexpensively. I suspect that regular chewing causes you to inhale a decent load of anti-viral component anyway. It may have been a good idea to seek out an actual user to guide you - and one who uses that kind of device, rather than a nicotine vaping one. Resins and waxes are far more similar to oils than the liquids that are used to vape nicotine, and therefore closer to the substances including Vitamin E Acetate that caused the big scare in the US recently, and which the CDC belatedly (and very quietly) admitted had no connection with nicotine vaping - a method that I successfully used to quit smoking in February 2017 after 40 years. Thankfully, my chest x-rays and blood work cannot be distinguished (at least by casual glance) as those of a smoker even this soon. And I still do vape, although I've reduced the strength of nicotine I use from 18mg/ml down to 3mg/ml in that time. I can't stand the taste or smell of tobacco anymore, but know the nicotine addiction is so established in me that without vaping, I'd still relapse. Vaping satisfies the hand to mouth movement and most of the sensations of smoking while giving just enough nicotine to keep the cravings at bay. I could tell you more than you want to know about nicotine vaping (I've even completed the training from the NHS Stop Smoking Serice as a vaping advisor), and certainly, that is enough to know that vaping of anything else really should be under medical advice or at least supervision. Oil or fat contamination inflames the lung tissues and they produce fluid with very similar results to secondary drowning. Stay safe, and stay healthy.
Thank you for the video. As far as I understand this is still unclear what actually causes lung problems in case of this infection, the virus itself, or the side effects of it, so to speak. I read somewhere that people infected with the virus develop pneumonia because they have iron overload caused by the virus, and not because of the presence of the virus in the lungs. But I am not qualified to tell whether this is true or not...
this nutritionist doctor claim that combining propolis with royal jelly and natural diet will help you to combat the virus , he mention that in minute 6:32 ua-cam.com/video/Rb2O0uBppig/v-deo.html
Disclaimer disclaimer ... Vaping is dangerious buddy.... great work Phil. 2 months later, whats the result. I guess if you had a cough or chest infection the result would be more interesting :-)
Well at least your thinking outside the box. I am taking oral propolis tincture along with Vitamin D ( as there have been clinical trials Vitamin D and Corona Virus see Dr John Campbell UA-cam) . I’m living in Queensland Australia so far low numbers of this. Also we live in humid area as droplets fall quicker than in dry areas . Well no human is an expert on this thing so it’s thinking outside the box...🙃
Are you not afraid that the tar as in cigarettes is going to tar up the inside of your lungs? Tar sticks...does it not. It was sort of funny to try this, I must say. I had a few giggles at you attempting this. Hope no damage will result from this. Hope you don’t get the virus.
I mean as someone with anxiety and a love of natural folk remedy - my opinion is if it's safe and does no harm but brings people comfort that they're doing something, let them try! It's literally not harming you. I've been terrified and stuck in my house for a year except to work so let me try natural things if it makes me feel like I'm less likely to die.

Many use food grade glycol to extract propolis. Glycol is the carrier used in most vape liquids. The key is getting the proper ratio.
This is awesome. Great idea. We already vaporize propolis in homes to disinfect from germs. This is more of a direct way to get more in your system where a virus would replicate. In my opinion I like this idea.
Doctors do recommend and prescribe vapor inhalation as a treatment for lung issues
They call them nebulizers.
Excellent! A totally dispassionate, objective and interesting experiment; I just took the first large lump of propolis from one of my hives so I may well give this a try! Thanks and please keep us posted to the effects...
i would be more worried about having the temp too high thus destroying any goodness within the Propolis
I am too- I use propolis nose sprays. I’ve been super exposed and negative. I think the nose spray and throat spray and mouth wash.
God man the people complaining about this video are so annoying. Why can’t somebody be free to delve into an idea without getting shot down. It’s not affecting anybody else an he hasn’t recommended anybody else to do it
Is a very good idea, congratulations!

Really seems to make so much sense...
Phil, what conclusion do you draw from this method one year later?
All I can say is that I haven't had Covid.
I'm looking forward to an update on progress, has the self experimentation showed any benefit?
Personally, I prefer a steam treatment with birch sap, containing betulinic acid.
I don't have any symptoms, so impossible to say if it is beneficial or not.

Read the research. Propolis is anti-viral.
Thats just wath i have in mind...

Can you send me some propolis?
Pill form pure green propolis from Brazil combined w several other if nature's super bug fighters beats C-Rona's a=s!

Vaping does not produce tar, as I understand it, unlike cigarette smoking. In any case, I am not intending to do it as a daily habit!
So will many other things. Gasoline fumes, too much food, coca-cola, etc. Did you miss the disclaimer at the beginning of the video?
Surely this is the type of unfounded speculation we should be AVOIDING during the crisis? Phil, I am so disappointed in you!
All speculation is unfounded, that's why it is speculation and not mere repetition of the known.
