** [[Cancer]]: a compound of Propolis caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) has great medicinal properties, but its anti-cancer capacity is of particular interest. A study from the "Journal of Radiation Research" shows that just within 2 days after treatment with CAPE, 46% of lung cancer cells had been destroyed and the cancer growth was reduced by 60%. Three days after the treatment 67% of cancer cells were dead. A similar study published in the journal "Anticancer Drugs" in 2006 found that CAPE prevents colon cancer cells from multiplying and induces programmed cell death of the malignant cells without affecting healthy cells. These impressive results have been replicated in more types of cancer cells, such as breast, gastric, skin and pancreas cancer and glioma cells, a type of inoperable brain cancer. The available data show that CAPE can selectively stop the cell cycle and destroy cancer cells, prevent angiogenesis and block cancer growth. Luckily, it is not just CAPE having this impressive ability. The same anti-cancer properties are even more pronounced and superior in propolis as a whole food.

** [[Burns]] : Propolis may promote the healing of minor burns, according to a 2002 study from the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. For the study, researchers compared the effects of a propolis-based skin cream with those of silver sulfadiazene (a drug commonly used in treatment of second- and third-degree burns) in patients with second-degree burns. Study results showed that propolis and silver sulfadiazene were similarly effective in treatment of burns. What's more, propolis appeared to offer greater anti-inflammatory benefits than silver sulfadiazene did.
