He took a course for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. I did it as recommended at the Merry Hornet apiary - 2 courses with a break. In the first month of taking it, I felt some changes in the prostate, but the inflammation did not completely go away. When taking the second course, I began to feel much better. For 8 months now, the prostate has not bothered. Thank you very much for your products and advice.

Many thanks to the bees and the Merry Hornet. I have been suffering from diabetes for many years. Apart from medicines and special nutrition, nothing helps in life. But I'm an optimist and I try to keep practicing in a healthy way life. Buying acacia honey from Dmitry, he advised me to buy a tincture of dead bees to lower sugar. Not very trusting, I bought. And she didn't do it in vain. After 1 month, sugar began to rise less often (more often it was her own fault, because she did not follow a diet). Been drinking for 3 months now. I feel much better. Some kind of efficiency appeared. Dmitry, thank you very much.

I searched for a long time on the Internet and stopped at the family apiary "Merry Hornet", where I received a full consultation and, after receiving the products, they gave instructions for use. I was also interested in the treatment regimen for wax moth tuberculosis with propolis tincture, since I have not heard this anywhere else. Already after 3 months of taking the disease, the disease turned into a closed form, and by the 7th month, the holes also disappeared. Now, being already healthy, I drink prophylactically 3-4 times a year. Thanks for the second life.

Products with useful properties in case of poisoning
There are a number of questions that are most often asked when poisoning. To help the patient and his family, a list of them has been compiled with an affirmative answer - "yes", taking into account some details.

In addition to the popular opinion about the undeniable benefits of some products, below are the opposite arguments and their explanation.
Definitely forbidden (not recommended) is the presence in the patient's menu of spicy and fried, canned and smoked, fatty and sweet foods, coffee and cocoa, heavy cereals (barley, pearl barley and millet), milk and citrus fruits.

It is also advisable to adhere to the principles of fractional (small portions) and frequent (every 2-3 hours) eating exclusively freshly prepared dishes from permitted products. Cooking should be steamed or boiled, preferably brought to a liquid or puree-like consistency before serving.

Food poisoning is often caused by:
Poisoning greatly weakens the body and after it, not only purification is necessary, but also restoration, which occurs mainly due to nutrition. Immediately after intoxication, food cannot be fully digested and absorbed, so you should adhere to certain restrictions in food. This will help not to overload the body and will contribute to a speedy recovery. The task of such a diet is to restore the water-salt balance and the mucous membrane of the stomach, intestines through the most gentle thermal, mechanical and chemical effects of food on it.
General rules for nutrition in case of poisoning
Note: If you follow the recommendations, it will become easier by the end of the first day. Then you can eat 1-2 homemade crackers, broth without fat, a little mashed potatoes (without oil and salt), liquid rice porridge. If diarrhea persists, then blueberry jelly, St. John's wort, which have astringent properties, are shown.
These dishes will help you recover faster and restore strength to your body. home cooking, as:

Drinks that you can drink in case of poisoning
In case of poisoning, the drinking regimen should be observed as strictly as medication prescriptions. Drinking plenty of water is a guarantee of the absence of dehydration and the prevention of hypovolemic shock. The liquid must enter the body after each act of defecation and an attack of vomiting (small sips). In this case, it helps to reduce intoxication and quickly remove accumulated toxins.
What not to eat when poisoning
There are categories of products that should not be consumed in the first days and weeks after poisoning due to their irritating effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa and difficult digestion. These include:
Restriction in the diet of these products will allow the body to recover faster after poisoning. All of them are quite heavy and contain many unnecessary and harmful substances that can only aggravate the patient's condition with food poisoning. In particular, such food causes increased gas formation, pain and cramps in the stomach, provokes excessive stimulation of enzymes, and causes fermentation in the intestines.
Soup can only be low-fat, not fried, ideally vegetarian. Honey is introduced from about the 4th day, since sweet enhances fermentation processes in the intestines. Milk immediately after poisoning should not be drunk, like kefir with yogurt, they are administered from the 5th day, not earlier. The ban also applies to eggs in any form - this is a heavy product.
Note: there are different opinions about bananas. Opponents of this fruit in case of poisoning believe that bananas should not be consumed. they are pretty sweet. However, bananas contain enough potassium (a lot of it is lost during poisoning), few fruit acids that irritate the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract (unlike other fresh fruits), and have a soft texture. Therefore, their use is allowed.
Sample menu after poisoning
First day: hunger and plentiful drinking (herbal decoctions, pharmaceutical saline solutions).
Second day: up to 2 liters of liquid, broth (3 times a day, 100 ml each), a few crackers, pores (potatoes, zucchini, carrots) up to 200 gr.
The third day: rice on the water (250g), vegetable broth (300g), croutons and biscuits, drink plenty of water.

Fifth day: boiled rice (300 gr), chicken broth with meatballs(500 ml), croutons, curd soufflé(250 gr).
A pediatrician, Dr. Komarovsky, talks about the treatment of food poisoning in children:
Prevention of poisoning
In order not to have to treat poisoning and follow a diet, try to follow simple preventive measures in the kitchen and during the cooking process:
Becik Julia, medical commentator
Food poisoning causes a serious blow to the human digestive tract, which temporarily loses the ability to fully absorb many foods. A diet after food poisoning comes to the rescue, which allows you to restore disturbed peristalsis and eliminate discomfort in the stomach.
Dizziness, spasms, nausea, abdominal pain are the faithful companions of food poisoning, which disappear after drug treatment. However, a quick transition to the usual gastronomic addictions immediately after improvement can lead to the return of unpleasant conditions.
You can get food poisoning due to the use of low-quality and expired food, as well as the wrong combination various dishes and lack of personal hygiene. Regardless of the causes of intoxication, a certain diet is designed to help the body in a difficult situation.
Selection useful products also reduces the likelihood of a gag reflex, which significantly overshadows the patient's condition. Neglect of therapeutic correction of the diet leads to depletion of the body due to dehydration and loss of vitamins, which can be quickly replenished by refusing harmful foods.
In case of poisoning, it is necessary to consume at least 2 liters of pure still water. For 1 approach, it is advisable to drink no more than 250 ml of liquid, which are absorbed in small sips. Recovery is also facilitated by the use herbal teas, compotes (with the exception of sour drinks) and black tea with the addition of a slice of lemon. After detecting intoxication of the body, it is reasonable to significantly reduce the amount of food consumed, which will be poorly absorbed by the body and interfere with the release of toxins.
On the second day, it is recommended to include liquid meals, primarily broths (the best option is chicken soup). addicting too rich soups harmful to a weakened intestine - there is a risk of disorder. Eliminating the manifestations of diarrhea, jelly has an enveloping and astringent ability, which should also be consumed in the presence of a disorder. Water helps to get rid of the dehydration that accompanies poisoning. You can enhance the absorption of liquid by using a saline solution (1/2 tablespoon per 1 liter of purified water) or Regidron, Glucosolan.
The use of these drugs is necessary if there is severe vomiting or diarrhea.
In addition to giving up prohibited foods, you need to spend more time relaxing at home. The specialist is advised to spend at least one day in bed in order to activate the protective functions of the adult body and allow himself to eat right.
Cooked meals should be served warm - slightly warm - as cold and hot food increases irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Having started a diet, the poisoned person also chews food thoroughly or grinds it beforehand. Simultaneously with the transition to healthy eating sorbents (black or white activated carbon, Sorbex) should be used to help remove toxins from the body.
Daily calorie content in case of poisoning should not exceed 1000 kcal.
The diet for food poisoning requires adherence to strict recommendations, but there are many foods that have a beneficial effect on the affected organs - the liver, gallbladder and intestines. For this reason, products are selected that are easily digestible and do not require excessive stress on the digestive tract.
When preparing cereals, it is worth remembering that cereal dishes are prepared not with milk, but exclusively with water. Blueberries have an excellent astringent effect, which helps to eliminate diarrhea. With maximum vigilance, you should treat ready-made juices: it is permissible to use only non-acidic apple, pomegranate, banana or carrot juice. orange drink increases acidity and provokes an increase in existing inflammation in the digestive tract, including citrus fruit stimulates gastritis.
The therapeutic diet involves the exclusion from the use of any products, causing fermentation in the body. Processed foods are undesirable, for example, smoked and salted fish, canned food.
The above products have an irritant effect, some provoke bloating (legumes), others have a laxative effect (dairy products). Baking takes too long to be digested by the body, therefore, it increases the load on the undermined intestines (the exclusion of bread and buns will help you recover faster from poisoning).
Yoghurts and kefir, which contribute to the restoration of microflora, can be introduced into the diet no earlier than 5 days after poisoning.
To get out of the state of poisoning and recover quickly, it is enough for a person to adhere to therapeutic diet 3 days.
New products are introduced gradually, not all at once. This method can cause a recurrence of the disease state.
Bananas are introduced from fruits at the end of the third day, slightly sweetened compote is allowed.
When saving diet menu administration of therapeutic aqueous solutions is introduced.
Ginger tea. The antispasmodic and antibacterial drink provides invaluable assistance: it strengthens the immune system and helps to eliminate toxins. Preparation: 1 tsp of ground root is infused for 20 minutes in boiling water (200 ml).
Dill decoction. The use of dill in the form of an infusion removes the pain effect of poisoning and increases urination. A large amount of vitamins and minerals that enters the body restores health. Reception - 30 minutes before meals. Cooking: 1 tsp. dried herbal products are poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for 15 minutes.
A decoction of flaxseed. Removes inflammation and treats chronic colitis. 1 tsp poured with a glass of boiling water and periodically shaken within 10-15 minutes. After separating the mucus, the liquid is filtered through gauze.
Use these infusions should be 3-4 days before the appearance of physiological improvements, to prevent relapse, you can extend the intake up to 6-7 days.
Additionally, we suggest watching a video about food poisoning
The consequences of food poisoning are unpleasant, but adherence to a therapeutic diet, including the intake of sparing foods and a fractional principle of nutrition, helps to quickly reduce discomfort. Limiting the intake of irritating foods will allow you to immediately proceed to self-healing of the body and quickly return to good health.

Since ancient times, people have been collecting bee gift as a means of giving strength, increasing immunity, restoring the body. It is able to saturate, remove harmful toxins from the body, strengthen the digestive system.
But the product sometimes poses a threat to health. One of the dangers is poisoning. Under special circumstances, the sweet treat becomes toxic.
Honey made from nectar certain types plants (heather, dope, azalea, wild rosemary, rhododendron), can provoke serious intoxication. This type of beekeeping product is poisonous. The people called it "drunk" honey. Andromedotoxin in the composition of the collection does not dissolve, but is located in foci. Between 20 and 100 grams of a sweet treat is enough to cause an adverse reaction. Signs of honey intoxication are similar to the symptoms alcohol intoxication and include:
When eating more than 130 grams of the product, severe intoxication develops; human condition is characterized by low blood pressure, slow heartbeat, shock. To avoid such cases, it is acceptable to send a sample of the substance to the laboratory for analysis, but this is an expensive, time-consuming check. To test honey for the presence of andromedotoxin at home, you need to give some honey to your pet and monitor the reaction. If there is nothing suspicious in the condition and behavior of the animal, the product is suitable for consumption.
Stories are known of mass poisoning with drunken honey, when the soldiers, having devastated bee hives, felt unwell and nauseated. Some lost consciousness, suffered from dizziness. This happened during the war between the Greeks and the Persians. Only the next day the legion was able to continue the procession. This happened due to the fact that rhododendron grew in the vicinity of Batumi, which became a source of andromedotoxin.
First aid for intoxication includes taking activated carbon, sorbents, means of rehydration.
You will need to thoroughly rinse the stomach, give the poisoned drink water. Then they offer black tea, another sweet drink.
First aid must be provided immediately, then the removal of symptoms of intoxication and treatment will be successful.
The severity of poisoning by the “drunk” gift of honey bees is proportional to the volume of the portion eaten: if a small dose (up to 100 grams) is eaten, the person’s condition quickly returns to normal, and if eaten large volume poisonous sweetness, improvements will have to wait much longer. A lover of sweets can suffer from poor health, dizziness, and weakness for a long time. In the worst case, pancreatitis may develop, affecting the pancreas.
Addition of foreign substances, impurities, heat treatment, non-observance of the rules for the collection, storage, use of bee gift has a negative impact on human body. It is manifested by general intoxication, disorders gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, general malaise, dizziness.
honey like food product subject to ingestion of undesirable additives. This happens either at the stage of collecting nectar from flowers by bees, or at the stages of packaging. finished products in a container. If in the first case this happens due to natural pollution, then at the stage of processing and packaging, most often the action is carried out intentionally in order to obtain maximum benefits.
There is a risk of getting into the sale of honey products obtained from regions with high pollution environment various heavy metals, oil industry waste, radionuclides, herbicides, pesticides. All of these toxins are able to enter the product through the collected nectar. When eaten a large number such food may cause symptoms of poisoning.
In the manufacture of honey products, unscrupulous manufacturers add foreign substances to it: starch, sugar syrup, gelatin, molasses.
A large percentage of products entering the markets are recognized as counterfeit. For the sake of profit, beekeepers dilute honey with low-quality sugar syrup. Chemicals and medicines are added to the bees' food so that the insects do not get sick and bring more nectar. Added to the food of bees, antibiotics in honey can turn into dangerous toxins. In addition, gelatin can be found in a single spoonful of the product, molasses, pesticides, insecticides and other critical ingredients.
Symptoms of poisoning with impurities are sweating, fever, anemia. Possible complications to the kidneys and liver.
The most dangerous component in the composition of the sweet product is hydroxymethylfurfural. It occurs due to heating. Over time, sweet amber crystallizes, candied. Unscrupulous producers, seeing that the product is losing its presentation, heat it to a temperature of more than 60 degrees, as a result, honey looks like fresh again. But inside it already contains hydroxymethylfurfural, a toxic carcinogen. The ingestion of toxin in food can lead to the occurrence of malignant tumors and has negative impact on the nervous system. For this reason, mead poisoning can also occur, so the liquid should not be heated.
According to the norms, the amount of this substance is permissible no more than 30 mg per kilogram. For bottling, it is heated in a water bath from 40 to 55 degrees. Heating for more than 48 hours leads to a significant increase in the level of hydroxymethylfurfural. With prolonged heating above 45 degrees, enzymes decompose, which detracts from the usefulness of bee products.
A product that has not undergone heat treatment or pasteurization is called raw. It is believed that pasteurization Bee Honey loses healing properties Therefore, people tend to purchase natural products. Pollen and spores remain inside raw honey, which can cause allergies or poisoning.
Strongly contraindicated raw honey for children up to three years, they are most susceptible to the penetration of toxins into the body. This can cause botulism. 20% of all honey products on the market contain botulism spores. They are not dangerous for adults, but sometimes fatal for babies.
Honey with more than 20% water content is considered immature. This is what happens when beekeepers take out unsealed honey in the hive. Such a product is not suitable for long-term storage and becomes fermented very soon. He possesses poor quality and does not show useful properties. The use of such a substance in food is fraught with poisoning or indigestion.
Inexperienced beekeepers may start pumping insufficiently mature honey ahead of time. The nectar collected by the bees contains more than 60% water. As a result of the diligent work of the bees, the proportion of water is reduced to 15-18%. If you start collecting honey earlier, the amount of water will exceed 20%, which inevitably leads to acidification of the product.
