I'm keto and i only eat once a day at midday, but they are not wrong, i have problems falling asleep, and i remember when i ate something with high carbs 10 minutes before going to bed i sleep within 5 minutes and i sleep very deep. Now as i said that's not something i do it just happened a few times and i thought that was strange that i got sleepy so fast.
This is really great Dr Ekberg ! I always though Honey was pretty good, but when you think about it, eating whole foods such as an apple instead of apple juice as an example, Nature never inteded for us to consume it as juice, with that in mind, honey is protected by bees and it would be safe to say that people would be less likley to consume honey if they had to get stung in the process. Adding to that Manuka honey is meant to be good for H.Pylori. which popped up in an occult in my early 20's
Obviously with modern convenience and human tools we have got around being stung, but still makes you think...
Btw, what is the smart board/ glass screen you use? that's awesome.
Thanks for video Doc! Can you please mention some of the other Bee products and how they work, like Bees bread, Bee mothers milk and others in some of your next videos?
Honey is my main go to for any cuts, burns and wounds. So many never believed me on how much faster it heals vs anything man made. One day I was mixing some lye to clean a clogged sink. I mixed it to fast with water and it instantly shot out of the large cup all over my chest creating silver dollar and quarter sized boils on my chest and stomach. As a test to prove all my naysayers wrong. I put honey on my right side and Neosporin on my left and bandaged it up. The next day the honey side was like 50% better looking than the left. In just 3-4 days the right side was almost totally healed while the left still looked the same as the day it happened. Same with cuts and so on.
There's not proof yet that fructose causes NAFLD. If you look at NIH research is says "How high fructose intake MAY trigger fatty liver disease". But food is complex and certainly sugar from honey gets conflated with processed foods and artificial sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup. I think it's irresponsible for Dr. Ekberg to say that fructose from honey CAUSES NAFLD.
As a beekeeper I recommend to buy your honey from your local farmers market. Never from Costco or other grocers as they are all heated and filtered. Do not worry about crystallization of your pure honey. One teaspoon per day should be the max.
Thanks for this invaluable tip!
When you see honey in a plastic bottle you know it's bad. I always buy honey either from people that are beekepers, farmers market or grocery store that sells locally produced honey. Big brands at supermarkets are no-no.
I have honey drizzled on my breakfast, and then a teaspoon in each of my 2 cups of tea in the evenings (green tea and chammomile tea) - (almost) every day! Sometimes I wonder if I'm having too much but I figured it can't hurt too much. Mind you, it is supermarket grade honey, but it says it's 'pure'. (I'm in Australia) 😋🥰❤🐝🐝🐝
Do you have a good quality sleep? Green tea has caffeine and sugar is a stimulant.
I'm not disputing any health benefits of green tea as I drink this, but only in the day time.
Mine is raw from a beekeeper less than a mile from my home. I love it!
As a nurse working in a hospital in the north west of Australia, we always used honey to build tissue in leg ulcers. After the wound was clean we would fill it with honey and the tissue would quickly begin to grow back. Nothing else worked as well as pure raw honey.
Wow
I’m surprised the aboriginals haven’t claimed that method & said the whites stole it from them!
I saw that in the hospital in Italy first time in my life. They do the same
Used makanuba honey for my 16 year old oozing wound when he had to have avtimou wound....it was amazing for a near impossible situation
True, after a fall I had a wound bone deep on my elbow, 6 weeks and still not healed, tried raw honey 9n a dressing and new skin began to grow over the wound within days.
20 years ago i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, RA and lupus. I was recommended pain medication which i refused. I did my research and although i did not have too many bad eating habits, i changed my entire diet. I quit sugar, pasta, processed food, no more sodas, coffee, dely products and whole milk. I started eating raw vegetables and fruits with antioxidants, i started having honey every day and lemonades during the day. I am now 62 years old and healthy like when i was 25. I see sugar and processed foods as a number one enemy and i defeated them by saying "no more!"
Thanku
No Coffee?
I'm 62, have not seen a doctor in over 30 years, the last person guessed my age at 45. Start the day with 2 strong cups of organic coffee with organic full fat cream. My diet is mostly meat, butter, eggs, kefir, cheese, cream, seafood, lemon, a small bit of organic 90% dark chocolate, wild blueberries I pick in our forest, and some honey. Raw vegetables hurt my stomach and give me joint pains.
@@tigerspiritjourney I'm guessing your parents lived a long life!
@@joefran619 My parents are in their 80's and just bought a new home to renovate!! 😀
I started keeping bees for my wife's flowers. We live high up the valley where nobody uses chemicals. Honey was an afterthought and what a pleasant surprise we had when the bees had surplus honey in their hive. We have a lot of wild garlic in our woods and the honey produced has just a little zing to it. Everyone loves it.
Honey is medicinal it heals leg ulcers in its raw unfiltered state especialy from new Zealand . Apply to wounds it's antibacterial what is takeing him so long to. Fact this

Wish I was close to buying your honey.Blessing to have good land around you, not poison ,YET, with the chemicals .❤
I am sooo jelly 😋
We have been a beekeepers for the past 30 years, having them as pets 😉 They are the best! They don't ask for much, but give a lot!! 2-3 beehives produce enough honey for the family, relatives and friends! We have never sold any, but share and gift our loved ones with it, because we have plenty. Even our dog loves honey!!
The only heartbreaking thing is when the neighbours spray their trees with the poison - it kills a lot of our bees as well. The ignorance of people is astounding!
We have given honey to the neighbours in the past, but they continue to spray, because of the law, they say...
Even in the years, when all the bees are killed, we buy the new nucs (nucleus hives) to start over! The cost is $250 now and going up, because the bees are slowly disappearing from the planet, due to the extermination by sprays and toxicity in the environment. The most dangerous predator in nature is a human, indeed.
You are right of toxicity, sead for the bee's, peoples ignorance is awy to much.❤ love your bee's ❤
It's very sad what is happening to her honey bees! I think the people making these pesticides know exactly what they're doing and they don't care. If the bees die, we will die and I think that's what they want.
Thanks! I don’t think people realize how important bees are to us.
Human being will destroy themselves eventually.
What law are they talking about? What kind of trees are they spraying?
Man - Nature Greatest Mistake
As beekeepers, bless you for making this video showcasing the miraculous work of the honey bees! It’s an incredibly difficult hobby, and we are up against nature and (moreover) mankind’s destruction. But we keep on keeping on because it’s so needed for life in the world!
Thank you so much for your hard work.
I’m a beekeeper, (3 hives)insulin resistance plus fatty liver, I rarely consume my honey as I give it away. Dr Ekberg you are right I try to eat organic fresh food, high fibre and after watching your videos I’m a low carb, medium protein and high fat consumer. I’m slightly overweight but have a family history of diabetes. I try to live my life style in positive ways. Giving up carb (less than 25%) a day overall has been far easier than I thought it would be. Bees are so good for our environment and health, they help my mental health as well.
There are many of us that are very very grateful for you all!
Thank you for your hard work.
I truly think people keep bees for the right reasons and I personally eat honey and I love the fresh day old stuff. But bees from man made hives can outcompete local pollinators including wild bees, bumblebees, butterflies and other insects. I kind of intuitively feel from a distance that beekeepers are praising each other and their operation as holy, and the fact that it can be a net negative for wildlife is not discussed. With that said. I think beekeeping is a genius invention, but it needs to be kept to a maximum amount of beekeepers for any given area. In some areas, 0.
It's a common misconception that bees need saving, when in fact, it's the wild bees that needs to be saved.
Large spoon of raw honey, half a spoon of grinded cinnamon and half squeezed lemon with luke warm 400ml of water first thing in the morning every day helped me in 3 years to clear an autoimune disease I had for ten years.(I am not going to disclose which disease please do not ask).
I also am the same weight, 21BMI with no change whatsoever.
Sleeping healhty 7h a day, overall feeling heathy and energetic at 42y

Not gonna ask which, but I'd like to know reason for the striptease? Unless you're in medical, no one will hold you responsible. I have ulcers, so I'm gonna try your recommendation anyway. 😅 Thanks!
Still trying to find out what happened in 30 days; no luck.
Same, did I miss something?
Good one ! 😂
You will run out of honey.
He talks too much it's so boring
This doctor needs to be cloned and put into every medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about health.
He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.
I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 🙏👍
they have the option to cure people but it doesn't make cents... let alone dollars! 😡
True.
Very intelligent man who advocates positive health attitude to all.
I agree
Amen to that!!! If you want the truth w.r.t. what not to put in your mouth u need to watch guys like Sten Ekberg. Never ever ever believe anything the Govt or the media says...and sadly it nows seems Health lndustry sources as well cannot be trusted! THEY ARE ALL LIARS in 1 form or another....!!!
Real, raw, unpasturized honey is the only food that can potentially last forever. My great uncle used to be a bee-keepr and long after he'd passed (20+ years) we were still eating this yummy honey. I wish I still had this particular honey, so incredibly good.
Organic also.
Good job Dr!!!!
Fun fact, yellow mustard also never expires.
@@zyzzer Wow, interesting fact ! I love mustard so much!
They found honey in the pyramids.
There's something magical about honey that we as humans are not equipped to understand and explain. God made it sweet for a reason.
My uncle Jim took a spoonful of honey everyday and was NEVER sick. He was a heavy smoker but was also very physically active. His diet was neither super healthy or unhealthy - he ate, and still does well into his 80s, meat, veg, breads, etc..,a very typical Scottish/Irish/Canadian diet.
Now in later life he still does a lot of walking, has maintained a healthy weight, shows no signs of forgetfulness and still swears by his spoonful of honey every day!!☺️
Lol, proof is in the honey, eh? Yup! :o)
I used honey in my coffee whenever I felt strep coming on, and the honey always sent it running. This winter, we've just been doing honey in our morning coffees as both pleasure and a preventive... Sickness has yet to even attempt to attack us, lol, and we're both heavy drinkers and smokers ;) Last time I was properly sick was 2018; him, 2017.
Then.. 🤔
it's the honey!!!🤗
🐝➿🍯
@@cerberus50caldawg correlation is not causation but an argument could be made that there is enough anecdotal evidence that something is going on here. 🧐😋🍯
Good genetics.
I used honey topically on a very bad burn from a steam iron transfering heat on metal to my leg in 2020 (I brand-ironed myself!). The internet led me to this remedy - it was hard to be seen in urgent care due to the pandemic, so I took a chance. The 8 inch area completely healed - it was stunning - I have zero scars and plenty of photos to prove it. Honey is mind-blowing!
Have close to your experience a couple months ago when I always cut off my finger by a chainsaw in a remote forest. I used Manuka honey and mix it with bee propolis extract and applied over the cut. Refused to drive to a local hospital. Yes, a scar is remaining but a soft tissues "welded" like a miracle.
That is amazing ! Thank you for sharing.
The Romans treated battlefield wounds with honey as its antiseptic properties prevented infection, didn't know about burns though
When my family and I moved to AZ, both my son and I were quite allergic to the local flora. I bought some local "mesquite honey" and we consumed it daily in tea for an entire year, and our allergies reduced significantly over time without having to resort to pharmaceutical antihistamines. Now we barely suffer from any allergies.
Where can we get local honey here in Arizona? 👋
Try stinging nettle tea
thats a proven myth. you're probably getting a placebo effect
@@Blueberrythegreat - We drink this tea regularly, and also take nettles in capsule form during cold/flu season. It was insufficient to combat seasonal allergies. We also use quercetin in capsule form, but it too was insufficient.
💔🤫😢
So What happens if you eat honey everyday for 30 days.....??
you get fat
One thing I was told about honey that it is pre-digested?
Apparently if you eat honey for 30 days it affects your short term memory and you forget what the video your making is supposed to be about.
@@dennisp.monroe146 It is bee-vomit.
Also a beekeeper (57) yo here and I realized that I was prediabetic a few years after starting to have bees. I am active and we grow most of what we eat. We buy our meat and eggs from a neighbour. Small free range, grass fed and free of unnecessary medications. We live in a very rural area so we have a lot of fresh air, low pollution and only 1-2 restaurants anywhere close by. Honey is great but please be cautious about how much honey you consume. I sell to some elderly neighbours and despite wanting to sell it I always advise them to eat it in moderation. This video seems to resonate well with my own experience.
*i forgot. I do believe honey is a good source of Boron. My veterinarian gave my cat boron supplements for her arthritis. Beeks are always bragging they don’t get arthritis because of the numerous bee stings but I actually wonder if it is related to boron.
I am a beekeeper and haven’t noticed any benefit to the arthritis. Perhaps I don’t get stung enough? About One time a year 😢
هل تنصح بتناول العسل يوميا أو بضع مرات في الأسبوع فقط؟
I had eczema and pretty much other siblings in our family. Our dear late father had it but not our dear mom. Anyways, since I don’t use granular sugar anymore and I came to use honey for at least 7 years now, my eczema no longer bothers me. And every time I ate something sweetened by sugar, I get the rash. Just sharing my experience.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Same
Yes but...but it might have been something else that you changed in your diet. Process of elimination.❤
I wonder if bee pollen would work as well
Same, as soon as I eat large quantities of foods with sugar and auto immune skin issue I have on my finger flares up.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg People really do not know just how difficult it is to produce a video as good as this one is.
Thank you @mikerepairsstuff. Probably not, but I appreciate that you appreciate it. That's one there is only one per week (barely) 😄
@@drekberg 100% agree that your videos are extremely informative and easy to understand. The only complain I would have is that there isn't a TLDR version, or prologue that just gives the quick facts. Sometimes I don't have a half hour to devote to staying informed, but would still like to get the basic facts.
@@leroyrussell8766😅
👍👍👍🇮🇱❤️
Yes there very good videos, I also listen to to Dr Mandal videos, there also very good, with these two you get all the information you need need.
I really loved this video. I am in my 50s, and I consume 20g of raw honey daily. I also agree with you that those who ingest raw honey have a great respect for life and wellness. For me, it is not just one thing that makes me healthy, but a component of good habits. I eat healthy, I do not eat fast food, I go to bed at the same time every day. I do not eat late nor consume large amounts of food. I do not eat desserts, I do not eat processed sugars, and I exercise every day. I feel great, and I do not have any medical conditions to worry about. I also never suffer from acid reflux or lack of energy throughout the day, I make my own kombucha, I add vinegar to my food, etc... Thank you for the excellent information you provided! 👏
Thank you all!
Two tea spoons a day healed my damaged esophageal sphincter which caused really bad acid reflux at night. The second thing is that I was brought up by an old Bushman and Nama people in Namibia. From them, in real time, I experienced the healing properties of honey in cuts and abrasions as well as burns, and no wounds ever got infected. Thank you for the in depth video and reaffirming what I experienced
Thanks my friend, you have just said what I was looking for 👍🍻
I m from greece and l eat about 35 kilos honey every year,this mean about 100 grams per day.l rarely get ill and all my measures are fine.l avoid sugar.l am fifty years old ,1.86 height,95 kilos /75 kilos muscles/ 21% fat.l usually walk 10-15kilometres per day , because of my job. I think the biggest problem of the new eay of life is that the most people working on a desk and they not walking enough.
How do you eat 100g a day? That's 20 tea spoons.
With a lot of pleasure!!! 4 spoons on 2 toasted bread with some melted butter. A couple of spoons with red meat. A few spoons in tee, chocolate or coffee after it has cooled and there are so many uses for it.@@geraltriv6193
@@geraltriv6193 Tulumba; two after each meal 😅
i eat about the same amount of raw honey a day lol. Feel good so far, it's been about 5 yrs since i began eating this much honey.
There is a big difference between honey and raw honey, and even organic honey - meaning raw honey that hasn't be collected within 20 or so Km of glyphosate spraying. So when you say "honey" , distinguishing between these 3 is critical. likewise corn and soy free chickens' eggs, wild vs farmed fish, grass fed pasture raised cows vs barn grain fed cows.
Honey production is a thin ice topic for USA market. Same time not many people understand what word ORGANIC nowadays means and what glyphosate is. Such knowledge and understanding require education and time to absorb at least basic info and people are lazy in their vast majority. Some say they don;t have time to learn. That is why, for example, commercial collection of bee propolis is prohibited in USA. I know why, but not many want to delve into such knowledge and continue buying "made in USA" propolis tinctures, sprays made from China originated raw material. Have you ever been to China checking out how they make propolis ? I did . You don't want to know.
So what would your take be on manuka honey?
My mother is 98 years old, what she eats everyday is 1-2 eggs a day, drinks tea every morning wifh a teaspoonfull honey and she has not been sick for years even when we travelled and it was -12 degrees centigrade
She was prediabetic , liking sweets and putting suger in her tea, when she was told, she changed from suger to honey and she does not look back, she is not IR and shd does not have diabetes either.
I can not explain it, but I know most certainly honey works, she has never been constipated or overweight

Love your style of video teaching. Very informative. Thank you !!
Am dairy farmer with 20 bee hives, close to forest with dark honey from various tree blossom, high in polyphenols. 4am start with one tea spoon of our unpasteurised honey certainly seems to keep the ailments away but we do our own fresh garden produce, free range eggs and home produced grass fed beef so generally that way inclined. We also feed the honey to our baby calves for their gut health
as a pick me upper, works a treat.
@user-wc9hm7zu8y polyphenol huh... is it like?...
Is it aphrodisiac??
Very Wise indeed!
Sehr schön. Doch durch die gezielte Umweltverschmutzung und Genmanipulation, ist auch der beste Honig ...... nicht wie er sein sollte. Leider. Dennoch Hut ab vor diejenigen, die das Beste aus dem Übel machen🙂
During WWII sugar was rationed and extremely hard to get. Many people started raising honeybees during the war years.
Thank you for putting these videos out there.
I can definitely confirm in my case that when I started eating better to improve my health , honey was one of the things I used and still use to enjoy a nice cup of rooibos tea with honey and cream once a day. I did notice as you mentioned that my allergies reduced in severity as well. Although at the same time I started cutting out table sugar as well from my diet and started cutting out processed foods.
So I think looking back the combination was what have me those results. I know do OMD with a fasting window of 22 hours and my life and health has changed so drastically I'll never go back to the standard diets packed with all kinds of sugar imaginable in every meal you eat.
Thank you Dr. Sten Ekberg, You are the best health teacher on the internet. Two years ago I asked you what you recommend to eat with diabetes2. You have exceeded my expectations. And you have made my life better and healthier. I no longer have diabetes2 and I feel very good. I am a man of about 75 years and have Smoked for 60 years and consumed far too many carbohydrates, thank you and I will continue to follow you!
I stopped using honey more than a year ago, when I started watching your and other videos about insulin resistance. The benefits of not using honey are more. Using honey is probably more of a pleasure thing than a health benefit. Thank you for your life saving work Dr Ekberg.
For me too. Even fruit is painful for me. Avoiding all sugars and carbs as much as I can has helped with my fibromialgia pain.
I rather jump off a cliff then to take this 🍯
Research maltodextrine that's added to just about every food people consume today. It has a Glycemic Index ranging from 106 to 136, higher than table sugar. Honey is 58 and sugar is 60. People need to read the ingredient lists of the foods they uptake before buying them. If you eat out and/or eat frozen prepared foods daily, then you are consuming many chemicals that aren't good for your health.
@@maryfolks9368 have you tried the Wim Hof Method?
Are you sure you were consuming real honey?
I moved from South FL to North FL and developed seasonal allergies for the first time. I started raw local wildflower honey and saw the biggest difference!
I exercise 6days a week, and walk 3miles daily in addition. I eat 90 % organically, mostly plant based but not 100%. (wild caught salmon, organic free range eggs) Thank you for the informative video on honey Dr Ekberg!
To many people are moving from S. FL, to N. FL. North Fl is different from S. fl.
So my dad is 85, ate red meat 3 - 4X a week, pork and chicken ~2X a week, always a large serving of potatoes, then he followed it up with something sweet. Do you think your eating is healthier than his, and if so do you think you'll live 80, 85, 90? He's going strong at 85, does yard work 3X a week, walks a pitbull 2X a day, and is very interested in geopolitics~

Local honey is best..
It has pollen from the geographic area, and that improves specific allergies.
An excellent video Dr. Sten. Especially glad you mentioned not heating honey, so having it raw and unfiltered. It's something very few people know about, but so important. It's also worth mentioned that the bulk of the honey sold in supermarkets, etc., in the US is highly adulterated, ultra-filtered, ultra-heated, and basically toxic. It's well documented, for those who want to look into it. Try to get your honey from a local bee keeper if you can (at a farmer's market, for example), or from a local health food store.
A very Merry Christmas to our wonderful Dr. Ekberg! Because of these videos I have completely revamped my eating habits and have lost 21 pounds. My husband has lost 45! The keto lifestyle has likely saved our lives! We are so very thankful. ❤
I happened to click on your profile. You have playlists of the Latin Mass. I love the Latin Mass. I really enjoyed listening to what you have posted.

I agree he makes absolute perfect sense
30-35 years ago growing in Bulgaria our family kept bees. Back the practically everyone had a small plot of land (~ 600 sq.m.) and grew their own fruits, canned them (with sugar) and also most of the vegetables. If you didn't grow it and you didn't can it, you simply didn't eat it. Grocery stores were for things like bread, mayonnaise, salami, unpasteurized dairy (milk, cheese and yogurt), fresh beer (that would go bad in 3 days), etc. . So honey and bee clay (propólis) - we had 3 - 5 hives on that plot of land, and would use honey sparingly - a teaspoon or two one or twice a week. Usually with yogurt. But propolis tincture was helpful for cuts and bruises and even for gum inflammation. Honey was in clay or glass jars, crystallized and hard. Back then people really had no allergies. Fast forward 10-15 years western lifestyle of processed food and chemical medicine moved in - cancer, heart disease, circulation diseases, diabetics and allergies were 20-30 times more. I remember hearing of some people who recommended frail pregnant women to eat honey, but one that was collected about 6 months prior.
Hi bother, I'm from Ukraine and I'm so much familiar with what you said. Here in States for an unknown reason people have no idea what bee propolis is and how to use such a gift from God. The same is about real honey, perga and bee bread. Keep in touch !

I'm sure that many here will agree, We are so sorry to hear about your Beer....hehehe
Now you buy bread from American convenient grocery stores and they will last forever. It’s not bread we are eating it’s a piece of plastic garbage that never goes bad.
Perfekt som vanligt, tack 🙏🏼
About the Allergies: To make it work, I heard you should only use LOCAL produced honey, which makes sense, since these are what you are exposed to locally and within the honey including the local pollens, this is what you need to build resistance against.
My sister-in-law is a beekeper, she tried some of her wonderful raw honeys on me, but sadly my allergy to honey only got worse every time I tried. Sad, I used to eat a great amount of honey when I was a child and I still would love to.
I am allergic to tree pollen (fo 30 days every Spring). Do bees use tree pollen to make honey?
I indulge honey, I love it but I learned that is sugar!!! I am an outdoor person, love sports and still practicing sports , especially winter ones! Watching this channel I learned a lot and applying in my day- to- day life! I am feeling good and my overall health improved drastically! Keep positive and watching this channel every day, not only for the learning benefits but some to reminde me that I have to follow a right path on journey thru a wonderful life! You are an inspiration Dr. Ekberg! Happy Holiday everyone, keep and promote good habits!
Hey man. Beekeeper here. Enjoyed the video. Cleared up a lot of myths and misconceptions while also describing the benefits of honey. Well done!
Za dużo wyjaśnień niezrozumiałe jest dla starszych ludzi dziękuję za czytanie
I am glad you are there to straighten out the confusion about these things. I also appreciate the comments from people who have knowledge about honey, and I hope people take time to read them.
I've never seen a video like this, where a presentation is made to identify, and then evaluate the nutritional content of a single (natural, unprocessed) food. Quite remarkable. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg.
Very helpful advice , Thank you, Dr. STEN.
Your brilliance fueled reliable voice of reason always provides vital information and awareness .
I am saddened that so called professionals on panels don't have the ethics of telling the truth. To do no harm is not in their purview, but to be relevant is. How much harm have they caused. False studies and claims. I will be more careful not to listen to faces on the Internet that make claims. I appreciate you so much, thank you!!! I am grateful that you enlightened us.
The best result of knowing what to intake anything into my body is: I always remind myself first is do not take anything, especially counter medication and prescription, and foods that had been processed, with white sugar, and a lot of fat. Medication can indirectly damages you organs too. I am watching Dr. Sten Ekberg a second time in order to absorb this complicate chemical process. I have been on Mediterranean diet after I recovered from non- Hodgkin lymphoma in 2011. I agree with you that white crystal sugar is not good for my health because after the lymphoma, I have psoriasis and eczema all over my body until the end of 2023. I have been adding a new diet to my consumption, to get rid of inflammation that caused my skin diseases. I have been decreasing the inflammation from February 2024. Today I have the diseases decrease about 90%. I am learning more about sugar and the alteration of it. I am looking forward to see more presentation about healthy living in general. For me, it is as good for 80 years old person like me.
Happy Season of Christ to all health champions around the globe who follows Dr. Ekberg. You are God-given to us Dr. Sten. Thank you for all your informative health videos through the years. 🙏
Leave God out of it. Concentrate on the information.
In Germany we have Honey quality guidelines that only allow specific honeys to be called "Real German honey". It includes that the honey must be local, unprocessed and unheated. I'm allergic/asthmatic and try local honey from the neighbour village to treat my allergies by getting used to it with eating small amounts of local allergic pollen contained in the honey. Hopefully it will help.
You answered many questions about honey. The detail was excellent, thank you very much.
Mike here in Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
I am intolerant to honey and try not to eat sugar generally but I do give small amounts to my children as a substitute for sugar (eg. in a smoothie) I hadn't heard that about raw honey though so I will try to source some raw honey for them! Thanks for your videos they are always fascinating! I have lost 30kg through Intermittent Fasting and trying to eat more whole foods and kept it off for a year. Your videos have been a big part of that journey.
I always greatly appreciate your presentations as they are so well explained and thorough.
100% agree with all you have said. Your last slide is me. Iam a recovered type 2 diabetic and I am an apiarist. I dont eat a heap of honey and do not promote honey as the best thing to eat, however, I believe it does help with local pollen allergies. Honey as you may be aware is a mix of Glucose and Fructose, depending on the flowers harvested by the bees. The honey will "candy" quicker if it is higher in Glucose and slower if higher in Fructose. Thank you for your videos...much appreciated.
Unfortunately he is generalizing honey. Dark honey (often honeydew honey) is totally different and has mainly fructose and doesn't crystallize easily. It also has more healthy minerals. I use wild oak honey and it's very compact and very tasty (caramel tasting) but not so sweet.
Thank you. Your presentation is first class!
Very helpful info. Thank you so much Dr Ekberg!
Just to let you know that I get 1 kilo of good quality honey and then put complete 10 garlic cloves(whole bulb) very finely chopped and put in honey and let stand for a week and then take 1 tea spoon every night before going to bed. I have done that for over 15 years and I'm 87 without any problem. Thanks DR
Nice tip, many thanks, I'll try it.
yuk!
I do this to cure infections. Cures to date include tooth abscess, chest infections, coughs , colds etc. I always have honey & garlic in the fridge just in case!
So you don’t remove the garlic correct? Just eat it along with the teaspoon of honey?
Merci beaucoup de nous partager cette recette de santé. Je vais suivre votre exemple ❤
dr ekberg with another great relevant video, saving lives with every video! love this man
A very well presented, no-nonsense explainer, thanks Doc.
I was suffering from accumulated depression.
I can confirm that after taking honey for a number of days I feel 100% better. I also took it 2 hours before bed. I am not a doctor but this has been my experience, I did not take the honey for this purpose and I don't normally take honey, I just found a jar of honey and tucked in. The rest of my diet did not change. I am just stating my experience. 😊
Thank you Dr Sten for this wonderful session.
I’m an anecdote. Every morning I would sneeze for 1/2 straight without antihistamines. Allergy testing confirmed multiple environmental allergies. Allergy shots worked after a couple years and no more antihistamines needed. Allergy shots stopped due to a move. Morning sneezing started again about 5 years later. After researching allergy shots for another round, I learnt that allergy shots could be tailored from a blood test. Also allergy pills, but they take longer to work. So after a couple years of a teaspoon every night my allergies are gone. In theory, the bees mingle with allergens, and the traces in honey are like an allergy pill.
Nah that isn't a "theory" it is mad conjecture. And almost certainly not true.
guess it is
@@acement1 low level exposure to allergens helps the immune system. This has been shown with peanut allergy for example. Bees mingle with the pollen from flowers that are known to cause allergic reactions. Low levels get into the honey. As a theory it is a reasonable one that deserves to be looked into more as it could help people. Sadly, there is not much funding for this type of study. Not in a proper randomised way which is expensive.
Correct, Well I agree with you. Many mornings for me would be 16 sneezes on the bounce, always 16. I never counted them and then one day my wife said to me 'four more to go' it was her that first noticed the set count. After reading your comment, it's only made me just realize I've not had any sneeze episodes since being on honey!
Pot gummies for sleep, then the next morning, much sneezing. Stopping gummies for two weeks stopped the sneezing, but then I didn’t sleep at all well. Four sneezes every morning clears out sinuses at least, and allows for an energetic day.
Impressive in scope, detail, and candor, to mention just a few things about this video. In today's information overload, I wasn't sure at first whether I could afford to spend the 30 minutes or so to carefully watch it in it's entirety but I'm glad I did. Thanks so much for all your work in making such a helpful video available!
You're a good man, God bless you and keep you Dr. Ekberg!
I would add that there are different kinds of honey for different health problems, for example:
- heather honey is good for prostate, kidneys and digestion system
- acacia honey is good for stomach ulcers
- lime honey is good for anxiety and helps with sleeping, it also helps lungs
- honeydew honey is good for getting rid of toxins in your body (it was given as a remedy to the coal miners), it also increases the healing of muscles.

Raw linden honey?

What type of honey for headaches?
Thank You ♥️
Thank u Dr. Ekberg for this very informative video. ❤
I like how you leave the information visible while your talking 🤙
Thank you Dr. Sten for informative video
Speaking about honey. It came to mind Bee Pollen. That is from 15 to 50 per cent sugar depending on the flowers the bees get it from.
When i was in my 30s i started using bee pollen 1 teaspoon per day. Shortly after that my wife got pregnant. I paid no attention to the pollen having anything to do with that. But at that time i was in business breeding parrots and thought that pollen could be good for them as i was sure in the wild they got it in their diet. Within only a couple weeks my egg production increased about 50 percent. So i bought 50 pound drums of pollen from a bee guy. Started feeding them more of it. My egg production went through the roof. The problem was the hens would not come out of the nest boxes to mate with the males. So a lot of infertility. I had one African Grey hen that laid in one clutch 8 eggs. It was normal to lay only 2 at a time. All were not fertile. This made me think that my own son might be from my bee pollen ingesting. Soon after that my cousin talked to me about how many Dr he and his wife had gone to and none of them helped with their ability to have a child. All the money he wasted on doing so. He was about to look at adoption. I told him what have you got to lose a few dollars, buy some bee pollen and both of you take it 1 reaspoon a day. I think it was about 2 months later she was pregnant. They had twin boys. After that a frien of mine who was also in the bird business told me her daughter could not get pregnant. I told her about my cousin. She had her daughter and husband take the pollen. Then one day later she called me to thank me for the advise, as her daughter was now pregnant. Long story short something is in those flowers that makes a difference.
Bee pollen is a superfood!
Good news ❤
Great stuff , don't tell WEF.
50 lbs drum ? Just curious how much it was. Was it economically profitable to use as a parrot food supplement ? Another point of my curiosity is about that beekeeper that been able to collect and sell 50 lbs of pollen. Hm.... 50 lbs .... how many years he collected such amount ?
Haha💗@@ianbardon8581
We used to have horses, and I remember using honey on any wounds they had and it worked better than anything to heal rapidly. My friend used it for a very serious injury on one of her horses that left open flesh exposed and at first we wrapped it with the medications given by the vet but it wasn't really healing well at all and then we went for the honey on the open wound and it healed with remarkable speed! These are just a few of many examples of honey healing open wounds and infections. I could go on.
yes, we do the same also for us, if we have burned the skin very bad, only with honey it heals quickly ! I take 20 bee bites every month ,to get a very good immune system . (I had cancer )
100%.. My chicken was attacked by a dog, which left her with large puncture wounds... Filled the wounds with honey and wrapped the area... Chicken is alive and totally healed... Honey is amazing
Thank-you Dr. Ekberg for all your wonderful videos!
My great grandmother lived until she was 106. The only significant difference in her diet other than obviously mostly being whole foods, was the fact that we had shipped the best honey in the country weekly. the honey wasnt bottled it was shipped inside the comb and we would chew on the comb too.
Wow!!! Great video. So glad you are dispelling false info out there. Keep up the good work Doc. Bees are truely amazing aren't they
I buy honey from a reputable source near me and I did find benefits on gut health. I had chronic constipation that didn't get any better even after a year of whole-food keto, but using only half of a teaspoon daily of caper honey gave me relief within 2 weeks. No other type of honey benefited me. I've been taking it for the past 9 months, while maintaining a whole-food low-carb active lifestyle, and the constipation has resolved almost completely! So that's my little piece of anecdotal evidence :)
Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. Highly appreciated.
If you can afford - try to mix(bend) manually 1 t.spoon of your local or Manuka honey with MGO over 500 with 20-25 drops of bee propolis extract 25% or higher potency. Not finally pleasant but the result is amazing.
Can you be more specific @@manukahoneyguru

We used to be great honey consumers with my wife. After having enough convincing info on it, we quit that habit for good 2 years ago. The changes it brought about are immensely positive. You are our best advisor, Dr. Ekberg.
This was so good. After consuming honey regularly for years, every morning in coffee, instead of sugar, I recently cut it out as part of working to lower blood sugar levels.-After learning so much about sugar from your videos. I always knew it was better than sugar for most of the reasons you mentioned and this really clarified everything perfectly. Thank you
It’s not better than sugar, it just may be “less bad” than sugar. Either way it breaks down into sugar ultimately. It’s still not good for humans.

Honey is pure sugar.
@@happyapple4269 PURE SUGAR.
@@happyapple4269that’s like saying junk food is pure food…yes it is but it’s garbage. Raw unfiltered honey is a much better and healthier type of sugar compared to processed sugar.
I love the suggestion of adding the honey when the drink cools down. Thank you!
I appreciate this information so much. Having recently been diagnosed with diabetes and not satisfied with the information provided by the doctors I find the questions I had you have answered. Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Sten, for explaining some of the mysteries of sugars Since Elaine Gottschall and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet was introduced, I've had a fuzzy concept of these things, but you've really cleared it up. Loved the respect to bees, and the sugared-up kids sarc, haha! Watching your lectures is a great way to start my day. Take care.
Lets give credit to the trace minerals in the honey. Even though its very little, our bodies only need trace amounts. Im 65, live in the countryside, plant a garden every spring through fall. I try to get outdoors as much as west Texas weather allows, and I dont take any rx meds. I enjoy honey and wine in moderation. Thanks for your informative videos!
Mr. Ekberg, I discovered your channel just 2 weeks ago.
I appreciate your efforts for all these informative videos about how to make human life healthier.
Besides, also thank you for your clearly understandable English too.
Kind regards,
68 year old commercial beekeeper here, been working as a commercial beekeeper for the last 51 of those years, other than a few years off when I damaged my back and did other work till I recovered enough to get back into bees. (Still working I love my job). Beekeeping is hard physical work and often long hours so from that aspect a healthy lifestyle. However honey has always been accessible and I have eaten a lot of it, mostly pure and unfiltered, often by sticking my finger in a honeycomb while working a hive so the genuine natural product. Around 10 years ago I was diagnosed with pre diabetes, and now have full blown type 2 diabetes. Coincidence? No idea. But anecdotally anyhow, honey has not prevented me from getting diabetes.
Thanks for your videos. I’ve recently had my bloods done and my triglycerides are down! So what you advocate really does work for me. Also blood sugar, liver, thyroid and kidney function all perfect at aged 51 (female). Lost over a stone of belly fat too. I’m within 10lb of goal weight too. Thankyou so much I tell everyone about Dr Ekberg!
if you use honey, how and how much per day do you use it ? greetings from Croatia..
Bees actually produce three things. Honey, proplis and pollen. I use to keep bees and in some of the comb you'll find pollen instead of honey. Mostly I found the proplis used as you called it spackel or glue used to fill holes or sometimes I'd find the hive lid glued on so solidly that it was almost impossible to remove as one piece. I'll leave out the uses of pollen for now, too much to write here. Yes honey is a very strong antibacterial, I've personally stopped two infections with honey, comfrey and vitamin E in liquid form applied as a compress. In both cases the doctors were at wits end and had tried all they knew and the next step was amputation which is of course why I was allowed to try a last thing, and it worked.
Strange how poor the ability of many folks is to do actual research and at least question things instead of just believing everything they see on the net.
This is a good video by Dr Sten.
Thank you Dr. !!!!! Your information is so believable. I love when you go to the organic chemistry part of your explanations, that does it for me. You cannot deny how the molecules behave. Thank you for making my path to health easier. I’m 50 and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Pain and fatigue were always in my day to day existence.
I’m practicing now intermittent fasting, low carb, low sugar, high fiber, good fats, healthy protein dietI’ve been feeling amazing. I have energy and I haven’t taken any pain killers and I’m about just a month into it. Little by little I’ve been making my eating window smaller. I did a 36 hour fast!!! Me! I could eat a whole cake when my blood glucose was low. It takes time and discipline, but it’s so worth it. Thank you for being very strict in your science. No mambo jumbo.
Thanks for the good info. I am 71 and have throughout my life tried to be healthy, kind of like this honey scenario. I was and still am active in my running also used to weight lift. Run marathon with a 300 plus bench press. Gravitated to type of athlete like you but not even in your realm. That left me trying other options such as nutrition to improve my well being and counter the gradual slide downward of the aging process. Sure would be nice to be 27 again with proper knowledge. Thank you so much. I try to share info like yours with my grand daughter. Dan
Hello Dr. Ekberg! Thank you for this great video! I'm following you for couple of years now and I've changed a lot of my bad habits regarding nutrition and feel a lot better (because your materials make so much sense, it's easy to digest and it's very well explained). It's my first time I'm writing on your channel and I wanted to know that you have my gratitude for all of your work Here in South-Eastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, Greece) the consumption of honey and others bees byproducts (like propolis that you had mentioned) it's, somehow, a part of our culture. We have a lot of beekeepers and a lot of good quality honey and we also consume a lot of other bees byproducts like: raw pollen (we keep the pollen in the freezer as soon as it's collected), mother bee milk, propolis (as a natural antibiotic) and pasture (a kind of fermented pollen). We were taught that these products possess huge both nutritious and curatives virtues. So, me and I think other follower, we'll be really interested in a video that will cover the science and the true facts about these bees byproducts nutritious and/or curative values.
Thank you once again for your work! You make a great job in the field of human healthcare and body process comprehension!
What about the bee venom? It cured my very sore elbow .Doctors here in New Zealand couldn't understand why it became so inflammed. My bee-keeper friend suggested a bee sting. I was horrified. He said that just slightly press the bee to my elbow area and don't let a whole amount of venum in the bee sac to be released into my body. To my huge surprise in a 3 days time all the swell, terrific pain was gone. (I took antihistamin tablets when the bee was applied though)).
@@MaryPoppins-tu1ms Yes, I've heard about therapies with bee venom too, though you have to be careful with a possible allergic reaction (I think that's why you took antihistamin). So, yes, we may conclude that all that comes from the bees is beneficial for us to some extent, that's why I've proposed a video with the curative and nutritious virtues of all the others bee byproducts besides honey.
So glad I found this. Confirmed my results and questions.
Thank you dr. Sten im learning a lot from your videos
I love small amounts of honey as part of my nutrition. I found Manuka honey a few years ago and it's the only honey I eat now. I eat a well rounded diet for me, steamed veggies with salt/pepper/horseradish my own apple cider vinegar/Moroccan ex. virgin olive oil/Eden mustard made with ACV, and a dash of honey. Wild caught Salmon/sardines/small amount of grass fed beef/free range chicken/whole egg protein powder, various sprouts and microgreens and lettuce I grow also broccoli/cauliflower, bok choi, leeks, snap peas etc I grow.
Work out with weights, do cardio, bicycle interval training.
It's true, the feeling of fit is better than the taste of fat. Age 73
Good but over priced, NHS UK use it, it has been boiled to skim off impurities.
Your diet is perfect! I assume you're not eating a lot of carbs? Keep those far away
Use buckwheat honey instead of manuka
Dr. Eckberg,
Thank you very much for the great information about honey.
Using information from your channel and from some others I changed my lifestyle from eating candy and everything sugar and chips and lots of carbohydrates to eating meat and vegetables and fruit. I eliminated sugar carbs and processed foods. It took my body a while to get used to it mainly because my conversion to fats instead of sugar indicated I did have insulin resistance. It's been about 2 months of no sugar and carbs. I will correct that I've had a small amount of ketchup and I've had bananas. I went from 214 lb to 197 pounds. In the beginning my energy was zapped after about 4 days of fasting but I slowly started burning fat for energy and now I don't have any energy issues without the sugar and carbs. One has to do this to understand it. I thank you for your videos and for your excellent way of teaching. I'm in my '70s and never thought I could stop the sugar addiction.
Thank you for your videos! I am a bee keeper. We use our honey in place of sugar wherever we can.
We use it raw.
It absolutely is amazing on BEE STINGS. Use a dressing. 24hrs. This works amazing but I add charcoal to it because it makes it work faster.
PROPOLIS IS FROM MOSTLY POPLAR TREES/BUDS. Other species as well,( I'm in Canada). Amazing health benefits from that. Ie: pain relief, antibiotic
Get the processed food out of your life 😊
Propolis is made by honey bees and used as a glue in their hive. It's good for people too.
Propolis uses resins from trees mostly, but they do mix it with other substances to make it. The end composition is ~50% resins, 30% waxes, 10% essential oils, 5% pollen and 5% plant debris
@brucesmith5426 thanks for the breakdown of propolis. Much appreciated 😊
I developed a H. Pylori infection and a tablespoon of raw honey really made my stomach feel better….yay for raw honey!
I heard manuka honey is good for H.Pylori
Honestly, it so hard these days to know what is true regarding health and diet.
The saying- a little knowledge can be dangerous springs to mind
I've been taking ACV with EVOO in an attempt to overcome years of broken sleep that started in the Covid era, this has been a great help but recently I've moved from organic supermarket honey to that of a local producer and it's a honey that's enriched with pollen and oh man, first taste of this was a died and gone to heaven moment. For me personally, I've found that adding this piece into the jigsaw has been a game changer, I sleep soundly right through now.
Never taken honey in my life. Thank you for sharing another informative video. God blessed 🙏
Thank you, Dr. Ekberg❤
You are welcome @valerieescabi6104. Thank you for watching. 😄
Thank you so much, that's nice knowledge, I love it the vidio, nice to see you.❤
I was an invalid for 2 years from mismanagement of my care when i contracted Lyme Disease while also dealing with Celiac Disease. I used 1 tsp raw, local honey with 2-3 drops pure Frankincense in green tea 3x a day and dropped all gluten, chemicals, etc. In 8 weeks I returned to work with no pain, fatigue, or debilitating neurological symptoms. Healed for 10 years! I am now dealing with thyroid and liver issues from autoimmune reactions post menopause. Hoping u have a video on that or will soon. Thanks for all you do.
