OCTOBER 12, 2021 HONEY
As a beekeeper and apitherapist I am always talking or writing about bee products. Some of the apitherapy products from a bee hive include propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen, bee bread, bees wax, honey and bee venom. Each one of these products has certain medicinal benefits especially propolis, royal jelly, honey, bee pollen and bee venom.
Honey in addition to tasting good and full of nutrition can be used for wound healing. There are many scientific papers documenting its benefits.
There are over 300 unique varieties of honey in the United States, each originating from a different floral source. You can also cook with honey
To substitute honey for granulated sugar, begin by substituting honey for up to half the sugar in the recipe. Measure honey easily by coating cups or spoons with oil or non-stick spray.
For baked goods, reduce the oven temperature by 25ºF to prevent overbrowning; reduce any liquid by ¼ cup for each cup honey used; and add ½ teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey used. Honey does not spoil. Most autho
All honey will naturally crystalize. Store honey at room temperature. If it becomes crystalized, place the jar in a warm water bath and stir until the crystals dissolve. You may also microwave in a microwave-safe container with the lid off, stirring every 30 seconds until the crystals dissolve. Be careful not to boil or scorch the honey.
Most authorities state this … “Honey should not be fed to babies under one year of age. “ Honey is a safe and wholesome food for older children and adults.
Support your local beekeeper as well as the American Apitherapy Society ( www.apitherapy.org ) for which I am the Vice President.

OCTOBER 11, 2021 OUT OF THE DARK AGES
The once villainized compounds as MDMA and psilocybin are finally being discussed among physicians, patients , and groups as MAPS and the Beckley Foundation. In 2020 a German analysis ranked the risk of harmful drugs. The top ranking harmful drugs were methamphetamine, heroin alcohol and cocaine as the most harmful drugs. As you can see that MDMA ( ecstasy) and psilocybin aren’t even on the list. These once recreational drugs are now being used for depression.
Psilocybin has been granted breakthrough therapy status twice in the USA - both in 2018 and 2019 for the treatment of depressive disorders. There are many cities voting to decriminalize these drugs. In 2021 Oregon voted to decriminalize these recreational drugs in small quantities.
There is even a trial using MDMA - assisted psychotherapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A similar trial has been approved in Israel
There needs to more of these trials. WE all need to be more open-minded
Until tomorrow…
OCTOBER 8 - 10, 2021 Galleri Multi Cancer Early Detection test.
Today, the majority of cancers are found too late, when results are often deadly. The earlier that cancer is diagnosed, the greater the chance of successful treatment and survival. Several cancer types, such as breast, colorectal, cervical, prostate and lung, can be detected through screening tests. However, the majority of cancer deaths each year are from cancers with no routine screening.
This is a new test. This is NOT a test for genes , as in BRCA 1 and BRCA 2
The Galleri test works by analyzing methylation patterns of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the bloodstream using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine-learning algorithms. All cells—cancer and non-cancer—shed DNA into the bloodstream. Methylation is a process used by cells to regulate gene expression. cfDNA can carry cancer-specific information in its methylation patterns. Different cancers shed DNA into the bloodstream at different rates. The proportion of tumorderived cfDNA in the blood tends to increase as cancer progresses. Cancers that shed more DNA tend to be associated with higher mortality. The greater the proportion of tumor-derived cfDNA in a sample, the stronger the cancer signal and the more likely it is to be detected by the Galleri test.
Fratellone Medical Associates is proud to announce we are offering this test. Although this test is not covered by insurance, it can be beneficial for some of our patients. If you feel you may need this test. please contact our office for an appointment at 212 421 3202
