Bee Stings against shingles and lyme disease

Dear Mr. Andros,

You are in luck. I have successfully treated both of these conditions. Just three weeks ago and at her request, I applied three stings directly upon the shingles on the lower back of a woman. Two of the stings were on the lower right lumbar area about four inches to the right of the spine. The third sting was about two inches to the left of the spine also in the lumbar area. The woman saw her MD two days later who was astonished at her improvement. The shingles were almost healed. This woman was taking no other medicines at the time. I spoke with this woman this past Thursday. She indicated her back was in great shape with no problem or discomfort from the area where the shingles were.
With regard to the Lyme disease, I have also used bee stings applied directly to the red circular area on my right shin about halfway between the ankle and the knee. I had been bitten by three deer ticks on May 30th, 1999, while visiting my brother in Kentucky. After returning to Alabama two days later, I applied three bee stings to the bite area. Because the red area around the tick bite site persisted for several days, I saw my physician and received a negative lyme titer (blood test). I subsequently learned that even though a blood test for Lyme disease may be negative, a person can still have or develop Lyme disease. As a result of learing this strange bit of news, I applied three more stings just to be sure.

Shortly thereafter, I read in the Bee Informed, Summer 1999, Vol 6, #2 issue, page 7, that melittin, a major ingredient (a 26 amino acid peptide) in honey bee venom "exhibited powerful in vitro inhibitory effects on the Lyme disease spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi". Further, "at melittin concentrations as low as 100 mcg/ml, virtually all spirochete motility ceased within seconds of inhibitor addition". Translation, bee venom has a significant effect upon the Lyme disease infecting organism.

I hope this is helpful to you.
