Fireworm (a waste product of a wax moth)
Wax moth (Galleria Mellonella - large wax moth, bee moth, wax moth) is a moth known to all beekeepers as a pest of the moth family, but not many people know that the wax moth and its larvae are not only the worst pests, but also a unique biologically active product.
Wax moth larvae are the only living creatures on our planet that feed on wax, but this is not pure wax, but honeycombs soaked in all beekeeping products, containing all vitamins and microelements. In these amazing creatures, nature encoded a great biological secret, incredible power and the ability to restore a huge number of processes in the human body.
The wax moth larvae live in the hive together with the bees. At the first stage of growth, the larvae consume honey, then move on to bee bread and wax mass. Eating all these biologically active beekeeping products, the wax moth larva accumulates their biological potential, which we will subsequently receive in the form of an alcohol extract. The larva of the wax moth in the process of life produces a special enzyme (cerrase) for the digestion of wax, one of the most inert substances in nature. Studies have shown that this enzyme in the alcoholic extract of the wax moth is able to dissolve the fatty component of the tuberculosis bacterium membrane, as a result of which it becomes less protected and more susceptible to the action of drugs.
It turns out that the wax moth extract is primarily an old folk remedy and has been used for human health for a long time. In ancient Greece and Egypt, the wax moth (moth) was called the "golden butterfly", preparations based on it were used for tuberculosis, and were also used as an effective anti-aging agent.
The wax moth is investigated, for example, by microbiologists at the Institute of Phytopathology and Applied Zoology in Giessen (Germany) with the aim of creating second generation antibiotics.
In the middle of the last century, the properties of the wax moth extract were studied by the cardiologist S.A. Mukhin. "In the well-known anti-tuberculosis drug (Wax moth - Calleria mellonella), which is useful for senile diseases and tuberculosis, he experimentally discovered cardioprotective properties. Sergey Alekseevich devoted more than 30 years of his life to these studies and developed on their basis the complex homeopathic drug" Vita " , highly effective in atherosclerosis, cardiosclerosis, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, as well as tuberculosis and senile diseases, "says the article" On the 100th anniversary of the birth of S. A. Mukhin "written by his students and followers. Currently, a number of scientific papers on the study of the properties of preparations from wax moths have been published, a list of which you can find on the website page "Wax moth - an object of study by microbiologists and doctors".
The rejuvenating effect of the wax moth larvae extract / tincture is due to the content of three essential amino acids: valine, leucine (alpha-aminoisocaproic acid) and isoleucine.
Recent research by a group of scientists from the University of Milan has figured out how to make human life longer. Italian scientists believe that this will help a special mixture of amino acids. This "elixir of youth" consists of three amino acids: valine, aminoisocaproic acid (leucine) and isoleucine. Essential amino acids, since they are not synthesized in the human body, but are necessary for normal functioning (in total, the LVM tincture / extract contains 20 out of 28 free amino acids, including 9 essential ones).
The amino acid alanine (aminopropanoic acid) is also synthesized from the amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine. Alanine (content in the extract / tincture of LVM is 6.2-10.7%) - is an important source of energy for the brain and central nervous system; strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies, is actively involved in the metabolism of sugars and organic acids. Alanine can be a raw material for glucose synthesis in the body. This makes it an important source of energy and blood sugar regulator.
The extract of wax moth larvae contains free amino acids, mono- and disaccharides, nucleic bases and their derivatives, fatty acids, biologically important macro- and microelements (a lot of zinc and magnesium). The preparation contains biologically active substances produced by bees, as well as components that stimulate the growth and development of cells. But the most important thing is the cerase enzyme it contains, which helps to cleanse the respiratory tract and actively resists bronchopulmonary diseases. When studying the pharmacological properties of the wax moth larvae extract, it was found that the drug is low-toxic, stable during storage and does not give undesirable side effects, as is often observed in many pharmacological and chemotherapy drugs.
An alcoholic extract of wax moth larvae is successfully used to treat chronic bronchopulmonary diseases (including in pediatrics), when conventional treatment (antibiotics or other chemotherapeutic methods) does not give a positive result.
The drug is widely used in obstetrics and gynecology in the treatment of menopausal disorders, infertility, miscarriage, thanks to which many women have learned the joy of motherhood.
The extract and tincture of wax moth larvae are antibacterial and antiviral drugs of a wide spectrum of action.
There were no undesirable side effects of the extract and tincture. The valuable qualities of the tincture and extract of wax moth larvae are the absence of toxicity, high efficiency, no pharmacological and medical risk; compatibility when used with pharmaceuticals and storage stability (up to 5 years).
Contraindications: individual intolerance to beekeeping products.
