Using microscopy, the cells were magnified 4,000 times. Cells from the bee pollen user showed incredible activity. Cells from the doctor had almost no activity. What does this prove? According to Dr. Jones, life in the cells of the bee pollen user is stimulated by the nutrients gained from bee pollen. Even more exciting is that the active cells are those involved in the immune system fighting viruses, other diseases as well as producing antibodies.
