Electromagnetic Radiation
Propolis may protect the body against the toxic effects of Gamma-Rays (due to the Antioxidant properties of the Bioflavonoids that are constituents of Propolis): [7]
Propolis may improve the survival rate of people who have been exposed to Gamma-Rays and may stimulate the regeneration of tissue in people who have been exposed to Gamma-Rays.
Propolis may inhibit the ability of Microwaves from Mobile Phones to damage the Heart and Kidneys (due to the Caffeic Acid Phenyl Ester (CAPE) content of Propolis exerting Antioxdiant effects that inhibit the generation of Free Radicals by Microwaves). [8]
Excretory System
Propolis may help to prevent/treat Diabetic Nephropathy. [9]
Propolis may help to treat and prevent many Urinary Tract Infections via its ability to suppress Detrimental Microorganisms that are the underlying cause of Urinary Tract infections. [10]
Eyes & Vision
Propolis may protect the Retina from oxidative damage. [11]
Immune System
Propolis may help to prevent/treat Allergies. [12]
Propolis may help to prevent some types of Cancer (primarily due to its high content of Caffeic Acid and Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE)): [13]
Propolis may help to prevent the development of Cancer - Breast. [14]
Propolis may help to prevent Cancer - Cervix. [15]
Propolis may help to prevent the development of Cancer - Colon (due to its high content of Caffeic Acid and Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE). [16]

Propolis may inhibit the growth of Gliomas (due to the Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE) content of Propolis: [18]

Propolis may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Cancer - Prostate cells. [26]
Propolis (consumed internally) treats benign Cancer - Skins:
- Propolis helps to prevent Melanoma (due to its high content of Caffeic Acid and Caffeic Acid Phenethyl Ester (CAPE)). [27]
Propolis suppresses or kills many types of Microorganisms - Detrimental (Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa and Viruses):
Propolis may suppress/kills various types of Bacteria - Detrimental (it may prevent bacterial cell division and may break down the walls and cytoplasm of Bacteria in a similar fashion to some types of Pharmaceutical Antibiotics) [28] - Detrimental Bacteria that may be inhibited by Propolis include:
Bacillus alvert [30]
Bacillus subtilis [31]
Bacteroides fragilis [32]
Campylobacter jejuni [33]
Clostridium species [34]
Helicobacter pylori [36]
Escherichia coli [37]
Proteus vulgaris [38]
Salmonella [40]
Propolis helps to protect against infection by Staphylococcus aureus - the Detrimental Bacteria responsible for “Golden Staph” (due to Sinapic Acid, Isoferulic Acid and Caffeic Acid). [42]
Streptococcus mutans [44]
