The 2007 Studies. Four iconic studies were published in 2007, which add to, and confirm, the conclusions made by the Hibernation Diet. 1. The first study was a brilliant study of weight control by Lynne Chepulis in Waikato University in New Zealand.Honey compared to other refined sugars improved weight control in rats.The difference between honey and refined sugars is that honey contains many Glucins, the wonderful glucose disposing principles that allow for improved fat metbolism.Caged rats are stressed, chronic stress (cortisol) leads to poor glucose metabolism and disposal, and this results in poor fat metabolism.Honey, (or better still iHoney) thanks to the Glucins, reversed this. Chepulis Lynne. The effect of honey versus sucrose, mixed sugars and a sugar-free diet on weight gain in young rats. 1st International Forum on Apitherapy 2. The second iconic study of 2007, was by Professor Jamal Zidan in Israel.A special honey reversed the immune collapse caused in cancer patients by cancer chemotherapy.The authors suggest that this may be due to antioxidant activity.This is unlikely because although honey contains antioxidants, the levels they are found at in cells is not high enough to exert significant activity.A much more likely explanation is that the wonderful Glucins exerted improved glucose metabolism in all cells, and in particular muscle.Muscle is the cradle of the immune system.When the body is under attack, the immune response requires trillions of new immune cells to be created rapidly.The only tissue large enough, and with the resources to provide the materials and energy for this, is muscle.Muscle cells release the amino acid glutamine, and this revs up the immune system, providing both energy and building material.If muscle cells are compromised, so is the immune system, and honey (via the Glucins) will optimise muscle cell metabolism, allowing for rapid gearing up of immune function.Another example of iHoney at work, something no other refined sugars may do! 3. The third iconic study was at Warwick University in the UK, and relates to another historic and iconic iHoney study in India in 1961.Professor Thornally and his team found that thiamine (vitamin B1) prevented damage to kidneys, to the retina and the nerve damage (neuropathy) caused by diabetes. They discovered that thiamine was being washed out of the blood of diabetics 15 times faster than normal.Nobody had noticed, but a study in India in 1961 found that iHoney compared to sucrose saved the lives of rats on a thiamine deficient diet.The sucrose fed rats died after 4 weeks, and the iHoney fed rats thrived.Of course iHoney provided the rats with B1, but we may assume the Glucins were at work here also, and improved glucose metabolism in all cells, in particular where chronic stress would inhibit this vital activity! Effect of carbohydrates on the Intestinal Synthesis of thiamine in RatsMc Nath & S K MeghalDept Biochemistry, Nagpur University, Nagpur, India. March 1961. 4. The fourth iconic study was another by Lynne Chepulis in New Zealand, where iHoney compared to sucrose improved memory and reduces anxiety in rats over a period of one year.This study has not yet been published but was read at a conference in Newcastle University in September 07.We saw how iHoney improved glucose and therefore fat metbolism in muscle cells.What of neural cells?The same applies.Neural cells require massive amounts of glucose to function, and this glucose must be metabolised optimally.Poor glucose meatbolism results in proteins being degraded (neural cells do not use fat) to maintain cell function.In the short term poor glucose metabolism will result in poor memory, anxiety and depression.In the longer term attack on proteins will result in dementias.Again iHoney opposed this reduction in neural cell metabolism, and improved energy supply, combating 2 of the most immediate results of chronic stress on brain cells, loss of memory and increased anxiety. Honey: its effects on anxiety and memory in rats.Paper read by Lynne Chepulis & Nicola Starkey at Newcastle University UK on 5th Sept 07. These 4 stunning studies illustrating just why iHoney may be compared favourably to all other refined sugars and sweeteners is the final nail in the coffin of the popular notion (held in particular by the health professionals) that honey is simply another solution of sugars.No! Honey is much, much more than a solution of sugars. Honey we now term iHoney, and 2007 is the year of the christening.Honey is reborn as iHoney. 2007 also saw the preparation and development of the First Scientific Symposia, by the recently formed Honey and Health Committee.This wonderful body is the brainchild of Ron Phipps, an American philosopher and entrepreneur, and Dr Ron Fessenden, who researches the health benefits of iHoney, and who is also the editor of the American edition of the Hibernation Diet, the first popular book on diet/health to focus on the overnight recovery physiology, and how iHoney may optimise this critical physiology.Scientists and Honey (iHoney) researchers will be present in Sacramento, California, in January 08 where the above studies will be presented and discussed. World Class Emprise will cross market the Hibernation Diet along with the label Hibernation® Honey via the beekeeping community and honey producers. This natural and raw Honey will be at a premium price to retailers, so that the price of honey will rise, both in America and around the world. Already we have translations of the Hibernation Diet in Russian, Chinese, Italian, and Portuguese, with Japanese, Spanish and Danish to follow. Visit The Hibernation Diet website to learn more of the role of honey in context of opposing modern obesity and diabetes. The Hibernation Diet was the first popular book to focus on the overnight physiology, and the result of chronic overproduction of stress hormones overnight, and to offer a solution, refuelling the liver prior to bed with iHoney and activation of the HYMN Cycle to optimise both recovery and fat metabolism. WCE will sublease the label Hibernation® Honey to any beekeeper/honey supplier large or small, and provide copies of the book, Hibernation Diet, to those who wish to cross market these through their normal retail outlets. In the course of 2007 the role of honey as a food has altered, honey (iHoney) has now moved from an interesting and healthy spread to a SuperFood.The Hibernation Diet has also moved from an interesting theory about the overnight physiology to the forefront of new thinking on diet and health, with a number of epidemiological studies confirming that the key to modern obesity/diabetes and all the other related stress driven diseases is directly related to poor quality and shortened sleep.If iHoney may be demonstrated to be antidiabetic and antiobese due to improving glucose (and therefore fat) metabolism resulting from the wonderful activity of the Glucins, and it may easily be so demonstrated, honey (iHoney) will never be the same again. As the American public becomes aware of how iHoney can optimally refuel the liver prior to bed and activate both sleep recovery physiology, they will soon abandon their use of refined sugars in favour of iHoney, the market will change and prices will rise.Other countries will follow and the world market for alter accordingly.The whole process will kick off in January 08 in Sacramento, when the research will be presented to the honey industry and the media.Those beekeepers/honey producers who take up the challenge will be the ones who benefit!!
