Weber Family Chiropractic - Weekly Health Tip

June 1, 2026

Dear patient and friend,

In the journals I read I often come across new developments in the science of chiropractic. However, people like you never become aware of these important ideas since the media reports so little of it.

Therefore I’ve taken yet upon myself to keep you informed of crucial breakthroughs because I know how important they can be to you, your family and friends. As your doctor, I believe it’s part of my sacred trust. So for your information and consideration, here are these unique and revolutionary developments.

How Bee Pollen Can Help You

Sometimes the most effective cures come straight from nature and are easy to find. One example is bee pollen. Bee pollen is a fine, powder-like substance produced by flowering plants. It functions as the male element in the fertilization of plants, and is often carried and collected by bees returning to their hives.

The pollen is then harvested for commercial use. It contains carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and some vitamins and minerals.

Preliminary research from the Ukraine shows that pollen may help people with rheumatoid arthritis, and can treat disorders of the liver, gallbladder, stomach and intestines. Pollen extracts are sometimes used to help desensitize plants to which they are allergic. In addition, melbrosia, a mixture of fermented bee pollen, flower pollen and royal jelly, may treat menopausal symptoms in women, including headaches and urinary incontinence.

How much bee pollen should you take?

The optimal dose of bee pollen is unknown. However, a generally recommended dose is 500 milligrams, taken two to three times per day.

Most non-cultivated flowering plants produce pollen. While it is not clear which plants produce the best pollen, some of the most common pollens used commercially come from timothy crass, corn, rye and pine. Bee pollen is usually harvested directly from bee hives.

Because bee pollen is not an essential nutrient, pollen deficiencies do not occur in humans. Many people have allergies to natural pollens that are inhaled; reactions to ingested pollen have also been reported, sometimes with serious consequences. Aside from the allergic reactions, no other significant side-effects have been reported.

Make sure to consult with a licensed health care provider before taking bee pollen or any other dietary supplement or herbal remedy.

I had been having lower back pain for over 2 years. Nothing I tried seemed to help. I was in a snowmobile accident 20 years ago and got relief then from chiropractic care. So, I decided to try Weber Family Chiropractic. My first impression of Dr. Weber and his staff was good and that they were professional. The key to back and joint health is balance and flexibility. Dr. Weber can help you attain this.

I first came to see Dr. Weber for severe sciatica. This is when a nerve in the back gets pinched causing pain down my leg. I had been to a chiropractor years ago and was initially skeptical, but not since seeing how wonderful and impressive Dr. Weber is. Most people in my family have had back problems at one time or another and chiropractic has helped them too. For anyone having back problems, I would definitely recommend Dr. Weber and chiropractic care. I think it is Great!
