“…Another study found febrile period which is mostly a consequence of neutropenia in patients receiving chemotherapy, diminished significantly (p<0.05) (19) . Similarly was previously reported with honey consumption improved the levels of hemoglobi (25) .…”

“…Abdul Rahman et al (2016) studied children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and found that the oral administration of 2.5 g/kg of clover honey twice a week for three months increased the level of hemoglobin without causing side effects. In this cross-sectional study, discontinuation of taking honey at a later period decreased hemoglobin level, total neutrophil count, and platelet count (21).…”

“…The reason for these findings is probably due to the specific conditions of the research units (the hemodialysis patients), but not due to the type of intervention (thyme honey), resulting in no effect of the intervention. Most previous studies that reported the positive effects of honey administration on slightly or significantly elevated hemoglobin levels mainly used amber and dark honeys, such as Manuka, Tualang, Clover and Carob honey (16,17,21). These honeys have high levels of phenolic compounds, minerals (iron, copper, etc) and antioxidant properties, which have hepatoprotective effects and positive effects on red blood cell production by stimulating bone marrow (17).…”

“…Febrile neutropenia is a common negative result of chemotherapy, and the present treatment for it is costly and may prompt adverse effects. Abdulrhman et al (2016) investigated the influence of Egyptian honey on febrile neutropenia in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Forty patients male and female aged 2.5-10 years with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were randomly allocated into two equal groups, intervention to control (I/C) and control to intervention (C/I).…”
