Propolis is a millennia-old natural food produced by bees from the buds of plants and composed by a mixture of wax and resins showing a variety of colours and consistence. Brazilian propolis (mainly from Baccharis botanical source or green propolis) represents 26% of the world’s recent scientific production on propolis (Pubmed). The number of peer reviewed papers is growing exponentially showing great interest in the benefits of this unique health food. Many studies have proven green propolis' effectiveness in fighting various viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and as an anti-inflammatory agent. A range of other safe and positive properties are constantly being identified, including anticancer effects, antioxidant effects, wound healing and tissue repair effects, gastro-intestinal effects, skin infection effects, anti-inflammatory effects, anaesthetic effects, immune-modulator effects, cardiovascular and dental care effects.

 

This educational seminar for health professionals will present the very latest research on premium quality Brazilian green propolis from Baccharis dracunculifolia, together with scientific and practical clinical evidence for its use in Brazil and Japan, as nutritional support to orthodox treatments or as part of biological therapies in several clinical conditions such as cancer (multiple action mechanisms including NFKB, AKT, BCL2 and P53), inflammation, immunological diseases, microbial infection, and oxidative stress.

He is a full professor at UNIBAVE and has published several papers focused on propolis and apitherapy having presented in more than 120 symposia and conferences around the world. His main interests are the mechanisms of action of propolis, the intracellular signalling in its anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. During the seminar, Prof Paulino will focus on properties from Baccharis dracunculifolia green propolis from Minas Gerais Brazil, including antitumoral (cytotoxic, anti-proliferative and antimetastasic), analgesic and anti-inflammatory, immune-modulator, antioxidant, antimicrobial and healing. He will also indicate practical clinical implications from his propolis research on humans.

Dr Ellen Silveira MD, PhD

Dr Silveira holds an MD from the Federal University of Minas Gerais and a PhD in Geriatric Medicine from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. She is a gerontologist and associated researcher at the Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia (cardiology and chronic-degenerative diseases R&D group), Belo Horizonte, MG Brazil. She specialises in early detection and natural treatment of degenerative diseases, with a strong interest in nutrition, medical thermography, energy medicine, as well as in integrative medicine. Dr Silveira will outline case reports on the use of propolis in the management of various conditions as well as the use of Baccharis propolis with cancer patients.

Dr Gerson Machado DIC PhD

Dr Gerson Machado has had senior positions with various communications, bionanotechnology and technology consulting companies and has lectured in five continents. He is a director of MBD in Brazil and non-executive director of various companies.
