Dr. Mark Kaylor is a lifelong student of Healing as a "path" as a way of living. He came to recognize the importance and essential need to approach chronic disorders from an authentic holistic perspective.
With a diverse background of study that led him from a more conventional education at Gettysburg College, Penn State and the University of Oregon to exploring traditional medicine (including American Indian, traditional Chinese Medicine and shamanistic) and holistic healing, Dr. Kaylor has developed an eclectic approach to health and healing. His travels have led him from the Amazonian rain forest to the Cherokee reservation, and into the mountains of China. These varied studies have inspired Dr. Kaylor to develop a style of practice with the focus being on truly holistic healing that incorporates a variety of approaches, styles, and modalities. Seeing his role as an educator and healer, he works to encourage, nourish and bring forth an individual’s innate healing gifts (abilities). Also consulting in the Natural Foods industry as an educator and formulator. Dr. Kaylor is co-author of "Syndrome X and SX Fraction". Since Dr. Kaylor has been in contact with NaturaNectar he has increased his appreciation for the woderful work of the bees and the fascinating world of the beehives.

We are proud to have Jens Vagn Nielsen - a world authority in the field of bee propolis - as a member of NaturaNectar Scientific Advisory Board. Mr. Nielsen is a pharmacist born in Denmark who dedicated his life to the beehives. He spent over 25 years studying, lecturing and writing research internationally on the intriguing and extremely advanced colonies of the honeybees. In 1982 Mr. Nielsen acquired from another passionate for bee propolis, Sven Salomon, the company Salomon Propolis® and all its brand rights. With the acquisition Mr. Nielsen further developed the world's most advanced technology for the extraction of bee propolis (NaturaNectar's GREEN EXTRACTION) which has the ability to separate bee propolis in two fractions: a Flavonoids extract and a Phenolic Acids extract using water as a solvent. The process also eliminates nearly all impurities and beeswax. Today, Mr. Nielsen continues to be intrigued by the richness of bee propolis and convinced it is one of the most complete natural substances available to man. He has published 6 scientific papers including 2 clinical trials. In 1993 he publshed the in vitro study:
"Bactericidal Effect of Propolis in vitro against Agents Causing Upper Respiratory Tract Infections" J. Focht, S. H. Ransen, J. V. Nielsen, A. van den Berg-Segers, and R. Riezler. Bioscientia. Institute for Laboratory Medicine, Moers (Fed. Rep. of Germany), Danmarks Farmaceutiske Hojskole, Kobenhavn (Denmark), Salomon Propolis Aps., Stenloese (Denmark), and Ortho Pharma Science GmbH, Moers (Fed. Rep. of Germany).
He loves to enrich NaturaNectar's R&D with his valuable insights and to be a part of the new products we are constantly developing.
