  • Making Cyber Security practitioners available in Nigeria

    The threat posed to individuals and organisations by cyber adversaries is real even in a developing economy like Nigeria.

     

    Two months ago, Crowdstrike, a global leader in cyber threat intelligence and security incident response, released intelligence report on how Nigerian cybercriminals have evolved their tactics to sophisticated business email compromise (BEC) scams that result in malware infection, account hijacking and impersonation among other outcomes. Similarly, Palo Alto’s Unit 42 threat intelligence team, which has been studying the Nigerian cybercriminal gangs for at least 4 years, released an intelligence report in April 2018 about how sophisticated and effective these criminals have become.

    This group of threat actors have been code-named SILVERTERRIER by Palo Alto and a YouTube video describing how capable and formidable these cyber adversaries have become is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kZEGUIAi1o

     

    Given these facts, an army of “good guys” trained to defend enterprise networks need to emerge fast while organisations whose critical business processes are run by information systems – which can be compromised by cybercriminals – must be ready to absorb them. The bad guys continue to grow in number because they find that path rewarding. However, there’s potentially a greater reward for good guys and organisations that focus on thwarting these miscreants.

     

    To this end, Digiss, an company dedicated to thwarting cyber adversaries through carefully developed cyber security capabilities in people, process and technology has developed a solution that produces good guys and make them available to needy organisations.

     

    The Digiss Model

    Using its Train-Mentor-Place (TMP) model, Digiss:

    Develops tomorrow’s cyber security practitioners through well-thought-out training programs that have clear learning objectives and a good balance of content and context;

    Works with students who show a lot of promise and desire to further prepare them for life as cyber security practitioners;

    Leverages its relationship with employers of cyber security talents to move successful students to the front of the interview queue. Well-trained and highly informed students will be capable of demonstrating the level of competence required by any organisation seeking cyber security talents

     

    This course, Cyber Security for Aspiring Practitioners (CSAP), was developed by seasoned cyber security professionals who hire, train and mentor enterprise defenders regularly. “Our primary goal is not to get the student certified but to provide employers with passionate, motivated and energetic cyber security practitioners who are capable of adding value from their very first day on the job”, said Mobolaji Moyosore, Founder and CEO. “There are so many courses and training programs on the market designed to get students certified within weeks or even days. This is not what we’re about. Rather than teach students to memorize concepts and pass any certification exam, this course teaches students to grasp concepts and retain knowledge through threaded discussions, activity-based learning, and practical hands-on sessions”, he continued.

     

    Digiss has also created a platform for organisations who seek business-focused cyber security analysts. Hiring managers or members of the human resources department of any of these organisations can sign up to participate in the cyber talent hunters’ network (CTHN) program by completing a short intake form available here: https://www.digissllc.com/cyber-talent-hunters-network/

     

    The course can be completed in self-paced (online only) or blended (online + onsite) mode within a 4-week (or up to 12 weeks) period by highly motivated students. There is also an associated exam currently conducted at the company’s Ikoyi office (Mulliner Towers, 39 Alfred Rewane) typically at the end of a 3-day onsite part of the class. Successful students will be awarded the Digiss Certified Cyber Security Associate (DCCSA) certification, which is currently going through accreditation with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Students with high passing grades will be presented to organisations that participate in our cyber talent hunters’ program for interview, internship and/or employment while other students will continued to be mentored until they become gainfully employed.

     

    Enrollment for the next onsite part of its blended training program closes on June 14, 2018 but those wanting to follow a self-paced program can enroll anytime and join the class on June 30, 2018 to partake in the exam.

  • How to create a website for your small business in 30 minutes

    You may be wondering if a website is really required by your small business.

    Its answer lies in a single line, if you are a business owner interested in growing you business, your business definitely needs to have a website.

    Who should be online?

    Almost every small business can benefit from being online.

    Right now there are over 93 million internet users in Nigeria as per stats by Nigerian Communications Commissions (NCC). Almost every internet users is now favorable to buying things online such as clothes, shoes, grocery and gifts online.

    Their search is not only limited to buying goods but they also look on Google for services such as legal advisors, local medical clinics, and consultancy services & jobs. So, whether your business sells products, have an open vacancy or you are a service provider, it is must for your business to have a website.

    A website ensures your customers can find you, establishes your brand and credibility, markets your business, and expands your reach to a wider audience.

    What are the options to build your Business website?

    There are 2 ways for you to create a website for your business. You can choose the best depending upon your convenience and budget.

    1) Hire a web designer (Minimum cost is N25,000): If you are not into DIY solutions then you can hire a professional web designer/developer to build your website for you. But this can be expensive & you should consider this option if you can afford it. You can look for various web designers in your area on Google and other business portals.

    2) Use WordPress (Cost starts from N300/month): You don’t need to have deep pockets or HTML/coding skills to start your business website. With WordPress you will get access to 1000s of free theme/templates for every business type, be it a lawyer or exporter or ecommerce store.

    WordPress software is free to use but you only need to find a good web hosting provider like DomainKing to register your domain name & host your WordPress for you. The cost of a starter web hosting plan at DomainKing is N300 per month that will be only cost involved.

    Steps to create your website:

    Whether you plan to use the service of a web designer or even if you want to build your website on your own, you will have to get 2 basic services that are required by every website on internet.

    Register your Domain name:

    A domain name is your business’s address on the internet just like your company’s name such as abcstore[dot]com would be perfect domain name for you if your company is “ABC Store Limited”. Your business website will be accessed on the internet through your domain name, so it is really important to choose a unique, relatable and easy to remember name. It just costs N699 to register domain name in Nigeria from any popular Registrar like DomainKing, Godaddy, Namecheap & many more.

    The domain name that you will choose is very influential to drive direct traffic and via Google search to your business website. There are 1000s of domain extensions (tlds) available right now.

    The most widely used domain extension by small businesses on internet is .com, but that also makes it very crowded. Very few good names are left now in .com so you would have to get the right name through auctioning. But there is good news because if you are a local Nigerian business then the best option for you is to get a .ng domain like abcstore[dot]ng. This will not only give your website a Nigerian feel but will also help you rank higher for your keywords on Google search rankings.

    Choose a web hosting Provider:

    Your web hosting provider will help you to get online space for your website as well they will register domain for your business. It is easy for SMEs to find a number of providers on internet but it is important to choose the best provider that will offer full suite of web services at a reasonable rate.

    A good provider should offer you a free domain with your hosting account, Free CMS installation, Free Malware/virus scanner & should allow you unmetered traffic on your website.

    There are many providers out there but you should choose the top hosting providers in Nigeria such as DomainKing.NG, Godaddy and 1&1. For example, you can choose to host your website with DomainKing.NG which allows you to create your website with WordPress on their SSD powered servers backed by LightSpeed technology for good hosting experience at just N300/month.

    You need to visit DomainKing as they offer web hosting in Nigeria (it will make your website load faster) and you can choose any plan on their website. You can choose from 3 web hosting plans i.e. Soldier Plan, Minister Plan, and King Plan that have different pricing & resources.
    Web Hosting

    Once you have selected your plan, on the next page, you will be entering the domain name that you want to use for your website. You will need to select the first option ‘ I want DomainKing.NG to register a new domain for my Hosting Package’ if you have not registered your domain till now.

    If you see your domain as available, then simply click to continue, you can also select the other domain extension for your domain such as .net or .ng for brand protection.
    After that just follow the onscreen instructions and you will reach the final checkout page where you will be able to see the final price. You will need to create an account with DomainKing by which you will be managing your website as well paying and renewing the services.

If you have followed all these steps, you will now have a domain and web hosting for your website. Now you can either hire a web designer to design a website for you or you can simply install WordPress to start your website.

  • Africas ripe digital revolution

    Remember the single ‘Africa’ by Toto? It was an instant hit back in the baby boomer age. But that was for a different reason and everyone suddenly saw the continent of Africa with a different perspective.

    After a bout of hibernation and recovery from colonisation, the African subcontinent is ready to bounce back. This time, it has the power of digital revolution!

    For too long now, it has suffered from lack of basic infrastructure, preventing it from being a significant place on the map of this planet. Tourism, agriculture and natural resources were the only things which made it worthy of any attention.

     

    The New Digital Revolution

    However, things are changing for the better now, it seems. The telecom industry has progressed quite a bit to allow increased internet access at lower prices. People over there have smartphones and other high-tech devices too. They can connect to the internet and utilize social media to be in touch with each other, as well as the outside world. Companies like Facebook have taken initiatives to provide a zero-rate data to people with extremely restricted access to civic infrastructure. This development has made it possible for those people to avail better opportunities. The overall effect has been very positive in the reduction or extreme poverty.

    An influx of investments by tech companies have also created an immense pool of employment opportunities. They have started initiatives in training and educating the local populace in the nuances of the tech industry. Without this education, the entire process would never take off in the first place. This will increase the standard of living over there without a doubt. It will take time though, but it will be time well invested.

     

    What is the Focus On?

    IoT, the Cloud and the Big Data remains the primary focus.

    There are two reasons why big data can prove to be the ultimate customer experience. The first one is that with the availability of so much data, new trends can be analysed. Previously data was not available on all of this, but new factors which consciously or subconsciously affect the consumer may be analysed. Maybe a particular floor colour makes a section of the store more appealing. Maybe the food section gets empty faster if the carts are designed in a particular way.

    The permutations and combinations that can be derived from such a large amount of data are particularly endless. What influences customers to buy or not buy something will, in particular, become a larger field. It may even grow to be a separate branch of consumer science. This is just one example. There are many such ways in which trends may be analysed and this data be used for the benefit of businesses, and this in turn, will make the consumer experience better and more rewarding.

     

    The Start Up Industry There

    The start up industry in the African continent is also taking off, thanks to some influx of capital from global investment companies and venture capitalist firms. It is still in its nascent stage, but it shows great promise as local entrepreneurs take charge.

    There are still many obstacles to overcome though. The infrastructure development is still in its early stages. The local governments remain a major stopping force against worthy initiatives, although some of them have shown a willingness to adopt a more supportive role in the development of the digital and telecommunication sector further.

    Africa shows much potential as an emerging market and could soon compete with the Asian counterparts in the race for global economic prowess.

  • The untapped goldmine that is Pork

    There are many words that come to mind when “investment” is dangled in the face of the Idealistic business mind, and Pork isn’t one of them; but there are indications that Pork is the most commonly consumed meat in the world, and the pork industry in Nigeria and Ghana is reportedly worth over $3Billion dollars.

    Over 80% of the Pork consumed in this part of the world is imported, with the highest consumption ranking in Ghana and Nigeria. Ideally, if the monies spent on these imports are invested to improve the localized breeding of Pork in the two countries, it will likely create many financial opportunities for farmers, wholesalers, retailers and the population at large.

    Agribusiness in Nigeria plays a significant role in the development of the economy, it has been stipulated that a focus on this sector will improve the standard of living and possibly end the recession by reducing the poverty rates. According to the BBC World Africa report, despite economic growths, poverty rates in Nigeria increased from 54.7% in 2004 to 60.9% in 2010.

    Recent studies have shown that these numbers have increased to an alarming 67% as at
    January 2018.

    Prior to the dependence on oil, agriculture sustained the economy with the production of cash crops such as cocoa, coffee, cassava, oil palm, groundnuts, to name a few. Livestock farming has also been common practice, especially for the provision of meat and other protein foods such as eggs, milk, and butter. Commercial livestock farming is lucrative and has the potential to earn huge profits, and the typical first choice for livestock farmers is usually cattle, poultry, and fishery; with pig farming as a minor option amongst others.

    The PorkMoney initiative explores the unique opportunities associated with pig farming bearing foremost that breeding pigs is not capital intensive. Pigs are omnivores and typically lean eaters and high breeders – one pig can give birth to as many as 15 piglets in a farrow, they are easily confined to their breeding spaces and can fetch a huge profit on sale. There is also the health benefits to the meat produced from pigs, Pork, as it is called, is high in protein, essential vitamins, minerals, amino acid and is good for overall health; some pork parts like that of tenderloin, loin chops and sirloin roast made from the lean cuts are healthier than chicken.

    PorkMoney aims to create more opportunities for the Nigerian public into pig farming and expanding the production of pork in Africa. More importantly, the PorkMoney initiative is created to reduce the large importation of pork into Africa and increase the production, selling and exportation rate in Africa.

    The business model for PorkMoney is aimed at dominating the Pork Industry in West Africa through collective entrepreneurship, accountability, proper management and marketing. In designing the concept, a lot of research was done to enable us accommodate interested parties not limited to people in Agribusiness alone, but the general public with an interest in farming, and business investments.

    The opportunity will afford investors profit as high as 35% in 11 months through a partnership plan, created for this purpose.

    The PorkMoney partnership has built a relationship with Ghanaian business man and actor John Dumelo, who is also into Agri-business, with a focus to introduce the PorkMoney model into Ghana, one of the highest consumers of pork alongside Nigeria. A strategic partnership has also been finalized with the Oke-Aro Pig Farm, reportedly the largest pig farm in Africa, with a farrow-to-finish operation over N5Billion in revenue annually.

    The strategic partnerships will enable PorkMoney meet up with the deliverables aligned in the business model towards its partners, consumers and export targets. PorkMoney’s partnership with Oke-Aro is much needed at this point as we can now finally do something that the farm has been unable to achieve, meet the demand for Pork by increasing investments. There is a good chance that our business model is the alternative to the limitations that plague farmers and would be agricultural entrepreneurs and enthusiasts. PorkMoney has created an opportunity to finally dictate and accelerate the growth of our own industries, in this case, the Pork Industry.

    Folorunsho Muyiwa is the CEO and Founder of PorkMoney.com – He is a Multi-faceted entrepreneur with over a decade’s experience in branding and marketing, with expertise in e- commerce, transportation and Real Estate.

  • Stonebwoy’s believed cousin calls him very ungrateful and wicked

    Read the post to find out about the allegation of a believed Stonebwoy’s cousin who is also a music producer against Stonebwoy

    – Read the post to find out about the allegation of a believed Stonebwoy’s cousin who is also a music producer against Stonebwoy

    – The alleged relative of Stonebwoy insists that he (the producer) had helped the young star so many times in various ways especially during the period when Stonebwoy was ‘broken’

    The name of this music producer is Ephraim, and he is in the center of the Stonebwoy latest rumors. Ephraim is a believed family member of the beloved by name and recognized by awards dancehall musician. He (Ephraim) has made some straight from the shoulder allegations against Stonebwoy in one of the latest interviews. Are you interested? Just keep reading to find out what exactly Ephraim has said.

    According to Modernghana.com, the music producer who is Stonebwoy’s cousin is extremely detrimental to the success of the dancehall star. If to be more precise, Ephraim was a guest at Accra-based Zylofon FM, and his main mission was to confirm or disprove the allegations made by him against his popular family member, Stonebwoy.

    It is not a surprise that such kind of interview was announced by Zylofon Media. The star is ‘out of favor’ of Zylofon Media and not once was in the news related directly or indirectly to his person. Many refer this fact to his beef with the chief of the media outlet Shatta Wale.

    Ephraim informed the audience that he as a music producer helped (produced) Stonebwoy at no charge for so many times. So the star did not pay him a penny. The music producer also added that he sometimes even gave money to the dancehall star for transportation and food.

    Do you think that it is all? No, it’s not. According to Ephraim, among the things that touched him to the quick was the unpleasant situation with the Blackberry phone. Someone from the environment of Stonebwoy asked the musician to hand over the phone to Ephraim. However, the star didn’t do this immediately and had used the phone for nine months before handing it over to his relative.

    Ephraim has also added that when the young dancehall star reached the fame, he (Stonebwoy) got above himself. The music producer insisted that he literally begged the star for more than a year to take part in one of his songs and Stonebwoy has refused all the propositions from his relative.

    The music producer also revealed that he is not the only family member of Stonebwoy who has been forgotten by the dancehall star after the last became famous and rich.

  • The Best Way to Start an Agric Business and Make Money Right Now

    The agric business is a tough one.

    There are so many factors that are unpredictable: Weather, biological factors, labour, market price, off-takers and so on.

    That said, the agriculture business is also rewarding, and there is nothing as satisfying as growing food for people to eat, not to mention that the agric sector in Nigeria is very profitable.

    If you would love to be a farmer regardless, there is a platform that will make it easier, faster and help you start farming profitably in less than 5 mins.

    I have been following the progress of this platform for months now and they are genuine. The platform is a digital agriculture platform called Farmcrowdy and over the course of one year and six months have been recognized by several media outlets like BBC, The Guardian, Forbes, Techcrunch and CNBC Africa, among others. They were also the only African startup to be selected for the US based Startup Accelerator, Techstars Atlanta in 2017.

    Farmcrowdy has also won several awards including Agro-innovator of the Year 2017 and Agritech platform of the year 2017 by the Nigeria Technology Awards. They were also selected as one of the 2017 Business Day’s Top 25 Most Innovative Companies and have been featured in The Rockefeller Foundation Food Loss and Waste Africa Report.

    Farmcrowdy works by creating a platform where individuals can securely sponsor farms online. Their sponsorship then goes to a rural farmer who uses this fund to start and complete a farm cycle.

    At the end of the farm cycle, sponsors get back their initial sponsorship and returns on their sponsorship. The returns a farm sponsor gets depends on the type of farm sponsored and the returns on sponsorship.

    Example 1, the maize farm has a farm cycle of 10 months, cost N95,000 with a 12% returns on sponsorship.

    If 10 maize farms are sponsored, that means:

    Initial sponsorship = N950,000

    Returns after harvest = N114,000

    Total = N1,064,000

    Example 2, the rice farm has a farm cycle of 9 months, cost N90,000 with a 15% returns on sponsorship.

    If 10 rice farms are sponsored, that means:

    Initial sponsorship = N900,000

    Returns after harvest = N135,000

    Total = N1,035,000

    Do a quick math using the profit simulator here.

    The more you sponsor, the more farmers you are empowering and the money you can earn. Click here to sponsor a farm.

    Farmcrowdy is bridging the gap between farmers who have no capital to cultivate farmland with farm sponsors who are passionate about influencing the Nigerian agricultural space and making profit while at it.

    In one short year, Farmcrowdy has already worked with over 1,000 sponsors to sponsor 3000+ farmers, and they have a huge goal to empower 50,000 rural farmers by 2022. This goal can only be achieved if other individuals buy into the vision of increasing food production in Nigeria, and that’s evident when farms are being sponsored.

    The Vice President also recently recognized their efforts in the agric sector by paying them a visit at their office as a part of his tech tour and in a speech at the Harvard Business School earlier this year, where he cited Farmcrowdy as one of the startups pioneering groundbreaking innovation in agriculture. He even went ahead to sponsor farms on Farmcrowdy!

  • MEN ONLY: 3 Natural Methods to EASILY Last Longer in Bed,Get Harder Erections ,and a Bigger Manhood Starting TONIGHT!

    …Simple natural techniques to EASILY last longer in bed, get harder erections, and a bigger penis!

    Believe it or not, over 95% of cases of premature ejaculation can be traced to the brain.

    Let me explain…

    During sex, as soon as there is a level of arousal, your brain quickly sends a message to your nerves, and before you know it…

    Bang! Bang! Bang… Whoosh!!

    In other words, your brain associates arousal or sexual stimulation with pleasure and responds by ejaculation.

    It happens unconsciously.

    But the good news is you can re-program your brain to last longer during sex.

    Pardon my manners, my name is James, I am a sexual health researcher and expert with Larger Life Nigeria. With my knowledge and recommendation, a lot of Nigerian men both home and abroad have improved their sex life, saved their marriages.

    Let me introduce you to…

    One Simple Method

    There is one mistake that most men make that affects their performance in bed…

    During sex, they get carried away by the excitement, and find themselves holding their breaths or breathing rapidly.

    But the truth is; when you cannot control your breath, you end up ejaculating too quickly.

    What you should do instead is to program yourself to breath slowly, deeply, and purposefully.

    Here’s how to do it:

    When you are having sex, inhale slowly and count up to 5.

    Hold your breath for another count of 5 and then exhale slowly for another 5 counts.

    And, whenever you feel your arousal rising too quickly, repeat this breathing pattern.

    You see, when you master your breathing, it will quickly calm your sexual nerves and help you last a lot longer in bed.

    It may seem like a lot of hard work, but it works.

    But… There is a Better way

    Before I let you into this brand new discovery, let me tell you that you are not alone in this problem and I feel your pain, I use to be in your shoes, kept buying every supplements in the pharmacies even on the internet yet no solution and I kept spending and spending my wife kept nagging now its all history.

    A recent survey shows that over 30 million Nigerian men have this sex problems.

    1. Avoid Masturbation! Most men masturbate and it has become a habit for some of them. This is actually
      one of the root cause of your quick ejaculation problem. 

      I’ve seen messages from men who are around 35 – 39years of age, but just last 1 – 5mins in bed…

      All because they have condition their body to last for 5mins due to too much masturbation my advice is that you AVOID IT!

    2. Have an healthy diet and exercise

    Most men that can’t go more than one round in bed, and have poor erection or little libido have something in common…”they have a POOR diet and do not really
    exercise”

    What you can do now is to improve 
    your health condition…

    (A) Eat more fruits and vegetables like

    – watermelon
    – grapes
    – pears 
    – avocados
    – banana
    – green vegetables including carrots, vegetables

    Include these fruits and veggies in your diet for the next 2 weeks

    (B) Avoid eating too much red meat and reduce intake of alcohol

    (C) Drink 1 cup of water when you wake up in the morning

    (D) Do 15minutes exercises often in the morning when you wake up … could be walking, jogging etc.

    3. Take Supplements that help boost your sexual activities.

     The truth is most of our food don’t have the right combination to help us last longer.

    So what you should do aside eating fruits and stopping masturbation is to taking natural supplements that helps you increase blood flow to the penis and boost your stamina.

    I have one that has helped a lot of Nigerian men get their confidence and stamina back on track.

    It is working effect with no side effects whatsoever,

    SEE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF ROYAL JELLY

    1. Antioxidant Power

    Antioxidants are all the rage today and for good reason. When your cells oxidize, YOU oxidize and that leads to greater instances of cancer, heart disease and other degenerative conditions.

    We’ve all seen a peeled apple turn brown within minutes – well, that is literally what happens to your cells over your lifetime. But scientists have discovered certain foods have massive amounts of antioxidants that slow and even stop this process.

    Royal Jelly just so happens to be one of these foods. As reported in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry in 2008, Royal Jelly contains very high amounts of several antioxidants.

    And what the scientists learned was that RJ had higher amounts of these antioxidants when the Royal Jelly was fresher. So when buying RJ, ensure that you are buying fresh, frozen product to maximize the vitality of the product.

    1. Immune Modulator

    Because Royal Jelly is being indicated to have immuno-modulatory potential for humans, a group of scientists at the University of the Ryukyus in Japan undertook a study to determine whether RJ could alter the development of systemic autoimmunity in mice.

    Autoimmunity is a state in which the body’s immune system attacks itself. Disease like Rheumatoid Arthritis and many allergies are autoimmune disorders.

    These mice were genetically predisposed to get Lupus, a serious auto immune disorder.

    During the study, the scientists found that the mice getting the RJ supplement saw a significant delay in getting Lupus and once they did get it, lived significantly longer than the mice that didn’t get the supplement.

    And while humans aren’t mice, this study certainly supports the many testimonials of people who have reported using Royal Jelly to boost or balance their immune systems that I’ve encountered.

    1. Brain Function Enhancement

    Our customers and client often tell us how they experience a mild euphoria or feeling of clarity upon taking our high quality, fresh royal jelly.

    Now a study out of Gifu Pharmaceutical University in Japan has shed some light on why this happens.

    Scientists fed rats a toxic compound designed to kill brain cells and then gave them Royal Jelly. They found that not only did royal jelly protect the brain, but it also stimulated cognitive function and repair to the brain.

    When I first read this study, these results made tremendous sense to me. I had always felt that I was more alert and ‘awake’ when taking royal jelly. But I’d usually just shrug it off as perhaps a placebo effect or just a good sleep that night! Now I know that royal jelly was enhancing my brain and it wasn’t just ‘all in my head.’

    1. Liver Protection

    To be honest, I was not aware that Royal Jelly had liver protective abilities until I read this study. And don’t ever underestimate the importance of keeping your liver healthy – everything you ingest goes through it to be filtered. So your liver is ultra important to your overall health.

    Believe me – I’ve met many people with toxic or impaired livers and it is a very challenging health situation which can often lead to liver cancer. Simply drinking tap water today will expose your liver to over 200 toxic compounds alone. This makes the protective effects of Royal Jelly even more important.

    Scientists at University of Erciyes in Turkey fed royal jelly to mice that had been given a liver toxin. They found that the administration of royal jelly as a liver protective agent for only 7 days exhibited a marked protective effect on liver tissue from the liver toxin.

    1. Inflammation

    A tremendous amount of research is now showing that chronic inflammation is one of the root causes of heart disease and other degenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease, arthritis and even some cancers.

    A group of scientists at Hayashibara Biochemical Laboratories in Japan decided to test the anti-inflammatory activity of Royal Jelly. They tested for pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-1. High levels of these compounds indicate high levels of inflammation.

    The scientists found that the administration of Royal Jelly suppressed these pro-inflammatory compounds and concluded that RJ has anti-inflammatory actions.

    So, if you have a history of heart disease or Alzheimer’s disease in your family or better yet, you’ve had your IL-6 levels tested by your doctor and they are elevated, Royal Jelly is likely an excellent supplement for you.

    1. Skin Healing

    Scientists at the Department of Pharmacology, Nihon University in Japan set out to discover whether or not Royal Jelly can augment wound healing.

    They fed rats various amounts of royal jelly daily and found that it showed anti-inflammatory activity by decreasing exudation and collagen formation. Royal Jelly also shortened the healing period of skin lesions, enough so that the scientists stated that royal jelly is able to augment wound healing.

    This comes as no surprise to those of us who have used royal jelly for skin health over the years. Royal Jelly contains specific nutrients and vitamins that support skin renewal such as flavonoids, nucleic acid, decanoic acid, enzymes, and hormones.

    It also contains numerous vitamins and minerals such as vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, acetyl-choline and zinc, all of which are excellent for the skin. Studies indicate that the acids found in Royal Jelly contribute to its collagen production and promotion.

    Take three 500 mg capsules daily or one quarter teaspoon of fresh royal jelly powder per day to optimize your skin health.

    1. Diabetes and Blood Sugar Control

    Earlier studies have shown that royal jelly has insulin-like activity. However, there have so far been no clinical trials to support these findings. So, a group of German doctors at the Justus-Liebig University Hospital in Germany had twenty volunteers undergo the standardized oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and afterwards a second OGTT after ingestion of 20 g of royal jelly.

    The doctors found that after 2 hours, the serum sugar levels of the 20 volunteers were much lower after taking the 20 g of Royal Jelly than when they didn’t take it.

    So, if you have any type of blood sugar issue, try supplementing with RJ. (if you are on insulin or Metformin, make sure you monitor your levels carefully – RJ will reduce your sugars)

    1. Osteoporosis & Bone Loss

    A group of Japanese scientists hypothesized that Royal Jelly may have beneficial effects on osteoporosis.

    After conducting a study on both rats and in a test tube, the doctors found that RJ may prevent osteoporosis by enhancing intestinal calcium absorption, making it an effective preventative aid for osteoporosis.

    It makes a lot of sense to supplement with Royal Jelly along with your calcium and vitamin D if you are suffering from osteoporosis or have a history of it in your family. According to this study, RJ will enhance your body’s ability to absorb the calcium and in turn deposit it in your bone structure.

    1. Breast Cancer

    A group of scientists at Kyushu University in Japan looked at the protective effect of Royal Jelly on breast cancer cells.

    In the study, the scientists found an anti-environmental estrogen effect of royal jelly. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental estrogen found in many plastics that stimulates the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells.

    The study found that Royal jelly inhibited the growth promoting effect of BPA on breast cancer MCF-7 cells, even though it did not affect the proliferation of cells in the absence of BPA.

    We are all exposed to dozens of cancer causing environmental estrogens every day now through our drinking water, our cosmetics, plastics and our food. You may be wise to protect yourself from these cancers with a daily dose of fresh royal jelly.

    1. Health Benefit of Royal Jelly…

    A group of researchers in Japan decided to examine the effects of Royal Jelly on blood cholesterol levels in 15 volunteers.

    They gave half the volunteers 6 grams of Royal Jelly per day for 4 weeks. Those taking the RJ saw their total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) decreased significantly compared with those who didn’t get the RJ. HDL (the good cholesterol) levels didn’t change in either group, nor did triglyceride levels.

    So, it appears that Royal Jelly lowers bad cholesterol and total cholesterol while not harming good cholesterol levels. If your doctor is telling you to get your cholesterol levels down, perhaps Royal Jelly is a safer, natural option for you.

    When you combine Abetacare and Forever Royal Jelly,

    The result will be massive.
