ApiVENZTM Relief Cream

 

with New Zealand bee venom VENZTM

(Natural power for joints and muscles pain relief)

20ml $36.00

 

Introduction

Apitherapy refers to the medicinal use of substances produced by bees. Since the times of the ancient Egyptians, people have reported the benefits of bee venom for the treatment of many diseases. In addition to the bee venom, other beehive products that have been utilized in health conditions include honey, pollen, propolis, and royal jelly. The first scientific clinical trials were published in 1864, and there are now over 1500 published scientific articles dealing with Bee Venom

Traditionally, bee venom was used in treatments by allowing live bees to sting the arthritis patients in their painful areas. An interesting observation regarding bee stings is that beekeepers seldom suffer from arthritis or cancer. Some arthritis sufferers have also experienced cures from joint pain after they became beekeepers.

Expansion of this line has been caused by the occurrence in the world the tendency of replacement of the synthetic medicinal remedies having multiple side effects with the natural ones.

  • 25-mg of New Zealand bee venom VENZ TM or 100 bee stings. This bee venom was collected by company ApiHealth NZ with using of the patented technology, which not harmful for bees (NZ Patent # 329585). Bee venom was analyzed and certified by ApiHealth NZ also. (See certificate below).

Comparative advantage of ApiVENZ Relief cream.

Bee venom cream application is probably the second in the row popular method of using bee venom. The first known bee venom cream " Apisatron" tested scientifically, was developed by Dr. K.A. Forster (Germany) in 1937. In clinical double blind tests in several hundred cases the effectiveness of the bee venom creams had been proved.

ApiVENZ Relief is different to other existing in the world formulas. It was made with:

  • Using of natural raw New Zealand bee venom - VENZ TM. It has a unique healing and hypoallergenic effect, because contains high level of melittin, the most powerful healing ingredient and low level of phospholipase A2 - the most allergic component. All European and some New Zealand bee venom creams contain only lyophilized bee venom. It is now a public domain that biological activity of lyophilized bee venom is significantly less compare to raw bee venom. Therefore natural bee venom is more expensive.
  • Concentration of bee venom in the ApiVENZ Relief cream is 0.1%, which is an equal 100-bee sting. The concentrations of bee venom as a key-healing ingredient significantly more compare to European bee venom creams (0.03% - 0.06 %). Thus, the pain relief effect of ApiVENZ Relief cream is much stronger and without any side effects.
  • ApiVENZ Relief cream contains natural pain relief and anti-inflammatory oils working as synergists along with horseradish extract which provide warming effect and deep penetration of the main healing components into the blood vessels.

Thus, ApiVENZ Relief cream is completely natural New Zealand product with powerful pain relief, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. These healing properties are due to unique properties of New Zealand bee venom (high level of peptides providing healing effect and low level allergic components).

Testimonials

I had a very bad pain in my jaw. My friends recommended me to try bee venom cream and after just two applications I felt a drastic relief, the pain had gone completely. Later on I decided to use bee venom cream when I got bronchitis. I rubbed it in my chest and made sure the area of application was warmed up as to instructions. The cough began to grow down and after a few applications of the cream, all signs of bronchitis totally disappeared. I think ApiVENZ Relief is a great break through, miraculous all natural remedy for any kind of inflammation.

For more than ten years I have suffered from severe arthritis, which has affected my neck, back, shoulders, knees and feet, in particular my left knee and right foot. During much of that time I have had varying degrees of pain and discomfort, which all times had prevented me from walking because of the swelling and pain. Over the years I have been prescribed anti-inflammatory tablets by me doctor which have only offered temporarily relief. These tablets are accompanied by a medical warning that stated there could be side effects. It was also recommended that I have a left knee joints replacement as a first step. When it comes to alternative remedies I have always been skeptic in the past. However desperation drove me to try various remedial measures, non of which had much effect until, that is, I used the bee venom honey and creams developed by the Russian scientists Nikolai Nikolaev and Tatiana Nikolaeva, whose company Scientific Technology & Ecology Products are making these products. I have used other similar products, but non-offered the relief I have experienced since using, what is to me a unique formula. As far as I am concerned, the results have been almost miraculous. I can move with relative freedom and very little discomfort, which given the degree of my disability and age is truly remarkable. I am profoundly grateful to these fine people and wish them every success in the future

Dear Dr Nikolaev,

Allow me to express my greatest appreciation for your ApiVENZ Relief cream and Bee Venom Honey. I have had pain in my knee for some years and tried a lot of different medicines trying to get rid of it, but they only helped me for a short period of time, besides all of them had an unpleasant smell. I think I was really lucky to get ApiVENZ Relief and Honey & Bee Venom that helped me very much. I got rid of the pain in my knee and now can walk easily and quickly. The cream is just terrific and very helpful and on top of that has a really pleasant smell. Thank you very much.

I am so grateful to producers of ApiVENZ Relief cream. It is just marvelous. My knees got inflamed, and the pain was so strong, that I could hardly walk. I had tried a whole lot of different remedies without any success, but when I tried ApiVENZ Relief in combination with Honey & Bee Venom the result happened to be stunning. I could not believe that, but just after a few applications of the cream, combined with taking Honey, I sad "good bye" to the pain, and that was the first night in many months, that I slept comfortably. Now I feel healthy and able to move on with my normal life.

Helen, Carterton, New Zealand

ApiVENZ has become a universal remedy for me. It helps me not only as a muscle or joint pain relief but also as a remarkable remedy against any kind of cold. When rubbed in the chest or throat it helps settling down the cough and pain. Honey VENZ & Propolis is a fabulous remedy against angina. I am very happy to use Bee venom products developed by Dr Nikolaev.

General information about New Zealand bee venom

Honeybee venom is a well-known pharmacologically active product of the hive. It is a product of the secretion activity of a special gland in the body of working honeybees. Freshly collected bee venom is a transparent, light-yellow liquid with a bitter burning taste and a strong smell.

Bee venom is a unique multi-component complex, which contains about 18 biologically active compounds, some of which are practically impossible to get synthesized by chemical methods (Fig.1). Nowadays the majority of biologically active compounds are well studied, their useful properties are discovered (Krilov, 1995; Schmidt, 1996)

Fig. 1.

The composition of the bee venom of Apis mellifera

The most powerful bee venom ingredients are:

  1.  Melittin - (55-58 %) of weight, in comparison with other overseas bee venom ( 40-50 % ) – the most potent anti-inflammatory peptide

    • has powerful bactericidal properties
    • stimulates the pituitary to release ACTH (adreno-cortico-tropic hormone), which stimulates the adrenal glands
    • to produce cortisol - part of the body’s own healing response
    • is 100 times more potent as an anti-inflammatory agent than hydrocortisol,

when tested in rats with arthritis (Nature, Nov. 1974)

    • Scientists at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of Molecular Science use melittin to develop cancer treatments that should have fewer side effects than other drugs used to fight the disease.

  2.  Peptide 401 - 2 % - strong anti-inflammatory peptide leads to the release of histamine which creates the signs of inflammation (swelling, itching, redness, warmth) is the most powerful seizure-inducing agent known to man when injected into brain (not cross blood brain barrier) increases short-term memory in rats (maze test)

  3.  Phospholipase A2 - 10 % -12 % (in comparison with other overseas bee venom 12-20%) - the most allergenic enzyme with hemolytic properties
    • contributes to the hemolytic properties and has synergistic action with melittin.

    • has radio-protective activity, mastocytolitic, and histamine-release.

    • blood pressure depressive

  4.  Apamin - a peptide affecting nerve cells.

    • blocks Ca2± dependent K + channels
    • enhances long-term synaptic transmission
    • shortens duration of a nerve’s action potential
  5.  Cardio peptides - anti-arrhythmic agent.

  6.  Hyaluronidase - dissolves glue between cells and many other powerful tissue proteins.

Loosens the glue (a substance called hyaluronic acid) which connects cells thus making the tissue or extra-cellular space more permeable. This facilitates the delivery of healing substances to and the elimination of waste or toxic substances from a damaged area.

7. Dopamine - neurotransmitter.

A neurotransmitter that increases motor activity. It is deficient in Parkinson’s patients and excessive in psychotic patients treated with neuroleptic drugs. Dopamine, along with serotonin and other catecholamines are implicated as factors in major depression.

8. Adolapin - neurotransmitter.

Has an analgesic effect

How does bee venom work?

Bee venom peptides have systemic action: anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-pyretic, stimulating vascular permeability.

There are different mechanisms of bee venom action in the body - indirectly through hormone system and directly on cardiovascular system.

1. Indirectly, through hormone system.

The healing effect of Bee venom is caused by its stimulating the function of adrenal gland indirectly through hypophysis. Due to this stimulation process more adrenal hormones such as cortisone and hydrocortisone are generated in blood. These hormones provide healing effect, increasing resistibility of the body against various unfavorable factors. But bee venom healing action not only connected with stimulation of adrenal gland

2. Bee venom effects cardiovascular system directly.

it widens blood vessels and decreases blood pressure.
bee venom is very effective against hypertension.
reduces blood coagulability and increases hemoglobin level.

Russian scientists have discovered that bee venom contributes to capillary vessels and small artery distention, increasing the blood surge to the organs and promoting metabolism improvement. Since bee venom increases the content of hemoglobin and leukocytes in blood and decreases blood thickness and coagulability, it can be very helpful for people having susceptibility to trombophlebitis. Bee venom promotes decrease of cholesterol content in blood, provides tonic effect for a heart muscle, and decreases blood pressure.

It improves patients overall state of health, appetite and sleep, increases vitality. It is good for body strengthening and pain relief.( Krylov,1995 )


Medical Conditions, which can be treated by Bee Venom cream

In the modern world honey bee venom has found wide uses in treatment of various kind of rheumatism. BVT applies as part of an overall approach, which includes nutrition, vitamins supplements, minerals and exercises. A partial list of medical studies reported that bee venom cream was used in the following cases:

Rheumatologic:

acute and chronic bursitis, ankylotic spondylitis deformans, fibrositis, juvenile

arthritis, lateral epicondylitis ( tennis elbow ), myalgia, osteoarthritis, poly-arthritis deformans, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis

 

Bee venom therapy can be useful in both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, helping with both pain and swelling. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid nodules can lessen in size. Other connective tissue diseases such as scleroderma have been (anecdotally) helped by BVT. Even systemic inflammations not related to joints, such as ulcerative colitis or even asthma, may warrant a trial of bee venom. This is presumably due to stimulation of endogenous cortisol through the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Comparative advantage of ApiHealth bee venom cream

ApiHealth has big advantage in the collection of natural bee venom, because uses its own patented collection technology which is not harmful for the bees. This technology allows collecting high quality bee venom in the commercial scales. Currently ApiHealth is the major commercial producer of bee venom in New Zealand. The other advantage of our company is development and implementing biochemical technology of the analysis of New Zealand bee venom and also conducting an ongoing research of allergic and healing properties of bee venom. According to ApiHealth research, bee venom collected by ApiHealth has unique properties: low level of allergic activity and high level of anti-inflammatory activity. These properties significantly differentiate New Zealand bee venom from bee venom of other origin.

European market. There are some bee venom creams: Apisatron, Forapin -(Germany). They contain only lyophilised bee venom in dosage between 0.003. % - 0.005%) and are sold as medicine. In comparison with European creams, ApiVENZ Relief contains fresh NZ bee venom in dosage of 0.1 % combined with healing natural oils.
