Wax moth larvae extract

In folk healing, wax moth extract has been used for a long time. Even in the XVII century in Europe extract wax moth larvae used for the treatment of high-ranking persons and those who had access to apiaries. However, it was only in the last century that the first scientific studies were carried out to confirm or deny the effectiveness of this drug.

 

The principle of operation and scientific background to the effectiveness of the extract

If you deal with the issue of the effectiveness of the wax moth extract as objectively and impartially as possible, without reading the invented reviews and aggressive advertising of manufacturing beekeepers, the use of the wax moth extract can be safely regarded as a placebo: there has never been a serious study confirming the effectiveness of this remedy.

Indeed, as sellers and manufacturers say, the extract of the moth-wax moth is based on a certain enzyme called cerrase, a unique substance capable of breaking down complex fat molecules. It is due to this enzyme that the larva supposedly digests beeswax.

Considering that the molecular walls of many bacteria are composed of lipopolysaccharides, partly related by chemical nature to waxes, pseudo-doctors began to actively exploit the idea that a wax moth extract can kill the bacteria of tuberculosis and some other diseases.

It sounds very plausible, given that the principle of action of the tool is so well described. But in fact, everything is not so smooth.

First, science does not know the enzyme cerrase. This name appears only in the advertising of dietary supplements and all the same alcoholic extract of the wax moth larvae. And if chemists who have carefully studied the composition of the larvae of the wax moth have not found this substance, serious doubts arise as to its existence in nature in general.

On a note

The only person who described the enzyme tserrau is a certain Mukhin, appearing in different sources as EO, or as S. A.He did not write a thesis, but he spoke about the enzyme in very admiring tones. Practically the same as sellers of dietary supplements.

Further, from a purely fundamental point of view, almost all bacteria contain lipids in their shells. Accordingly, the miraculous enzyme should indiscriminately destroy both the mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis and the beneficial microflora of the intestine and stomach.

In fact, such an enzyme is an antibiotic, because the action of a number of antibiotics is directed specifically at splitting the walls of bacteria. Why, then, does not tserraz destroy beneficial lactobacilli or E. coli always present in the digestive tract? How is selectivity observed and how is the enzyme delivered to the lungs to “treat tuberculosis”? Unclear…

Feedback

“My diagnosis is before applying the wax moth extract: thrombophlebitis, varicose veins on the left leg, indications for surgery. I applied the extract for 2 months, two large knots on my leg disappeared, and we stopped torturing pains at night. ”

Vladimir, Tver

And the last, though not the most important. It is generally accepted throughout the world that the extract is extracted after drying and grinding the raw materials, and then - extraction with alcohol, oil or other substances.If the raw material without preparation is filled with alcohol, the result is a tincture.

At the same time, the sellers and manufacturers of the products insist on the name “extract”, although in the bottles themselves there are visible virgin alcoholized butterfly caterpillars.

This seemingly small inaccuracy indicates that a serious patented production of wax moth extract never existed, and you can only buy it from homegrown healers.

There is an opinion

It is impossible to deny the possibility that the miraculous properties of the wax moth extract were invented because the wax moth itself abounds in hives and is a by-product of beekeeping. Instead of throwing out the hated larvae, enterprising beekeepers managed to earn money on them.

However, this practice is common with medical products. There is still no serious research on the effectiveness of bee bread or royal jelly, and these funds are considered the property of traditional medicine. Nevertheless, thousands of people are treated by them and some even praise.

Whether the placebo effect is to blame for this, or whether these products really have useful properties that have not yet been studied - definitely cannot be said.Anyway, when using them it is useful to observe a certain caution and to be critical about advertising.

 

What does wax moth extract treat and what effect does it have on the body?

According to the manufacturers, the wax moth extract (sometimes the word “melonellas” in the Latin name of the butterfly may be present in the name) helps to treat the following diseases:

• tuberculosis
• bronchial asthma
• bronchitis
• pneumonia
• deterioration after myocardial infarction
• thrombophlebitis
• anemia
• climacteric disorders
• depressed
• endocrine disorders.

Feedback

“I was cured of tuberculosis in the hospital, and bronchial asthma remained, I thought, forever. But then, on the advice of a friend, I started drinking the moth extract, and in six months my condition improved so much that I stopped choking even in summer. ”

Ivan, Moscow

However, no serious studies confirming the effectiveness of the extract in the treatment of these diseases have been conducted.

In general, the use of a wax moth larvae extract is based on its intended antimicrobial activity.

First of all, the extract from the larvae of the wax moth is considered a remedy for tuberculosis, quite possibly because it was first used when tuberculosis was an extremely common disease.

Approximately with the same efficiency, it would have started to be used today for breast augmentation.

In general, the properties of the extract of the wax moth larvae are seriously overestimated today, but at the same time both positive reviews and cases of its successful application are known.

 

Method of preparation

The method of preparation of the wax moth extract is quite simple. The collected larvae are placed in any vessel and filled with 40% medical alcohol. After this means is infused for 1-2 months.

In the same way, wax moth extract can be prepared at home. Depending on the mass ratio of larvae and alcohol, a 10% or 25% preparation is obtained.

Feedback

“When I bought this product, I almost felt sick, I thought I could never drink it. In the same place, the larvae swim right dead! But the taste was just alcohol. The main thing is not to look at the bottle. It became easier to breathe, hypertension passed. ”

Allah, Ishmael

In beekeeping farms, the preparation of the wax moth extract begins at the stage of selection of the larvae themselves. It is believed that the caterpillar should be rather large, but not of the last age: the larvae preparing for pupation feed little and the necessary enzyme is almost not isolated.

It is interesting

According to some manufacturers, in order to prepare an extract of larvae of a large wax moth in the amount of half-liter, it is necessary to completely spoil one whole frame with honey, which is given to be devoured by the caterpillars. For the price it is approximately 120-150 rubles.

 

How to use wax moth extract?

There is no general instruction on the use of wax moth extract in nature, and each manufacturer applies its own recommendations for its use to its product.

As a rule, for the treatment of diseases of the internal organs, they usually consume 15-20 drops 2-3 times a day, mixing them with 100-150 grams of any other liquid.

It is desirable that the instructions for receiving the extract of the larvae of the wax moth issued a doctor who prescribes the drug itself. Use this tool without a doctor's prescription is not worth it.

Feedback

“After a heart attack, the doctor prescribed me the perga, but I strongly pour out the beginning from her. We decided to try the wax mint extract, and he helped. The condition returned to normal, a very good remedy in addition to the usual set of drugs. "

Marya Rudolfovna, Kerch

Before taking a wax moth extract, it should be noted that many people are prone to allergies to bee products. Definitely a drug is contraindicated in children under 14 years of age, pregnant and lactating mothers.

 

Forms of release and trademarks

Buy an extract of the larvae of the wax moth today is easy: it is actively distributed through the Internet and the beekeepers themselves. The price of a 100 ml vial of wax moth extract is approximately 800 rubles. Such a price is relevant for the extract of the moth waxy moth with 20% content of the larvae themselves. 10% of the extract is two times cheaper, but it is also less common.

There is no known pharmaceutical company that produces this tool. There is a company Melonella, producing products in beautiful packages, but the compliance of their products with any requirements is not checked.

In any case, to avoid fraud, you should definitely look at the jar before you buy it. It must have larvae that look like caterpillars. Without them, it is quite possible to buy a fake with only alcohol.
