with a malignant tumor too advanced for possible surgical removal.
The apiculturist, faced with the despair of his friend, invited him
to the apiary with the affected area uncovered. The first day a swarm
of bees stung him in the affected area. They went to the apiary once
a week. After a while, each time there were fewer bees that stung
him (I should say pricked him) in that area. The moment arrived when
no bees stung him at all. At that point the beekeeper told him to
go to the physician. Dr. Eduardo Lema Honey against cataract! Apitherapy against osteoarthritis (posted in Apitherapy-List) Dear David, Jorge
Hello David and Apifriends, To respond to one of your questions, David, I have had great success with bee venom therapy (BVT) for my osteoarthritis in both knees. I did not, however, have a bone spur. To treat the arthritis, my doctor put me on Celebrex (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID). I took this for a year and a half and after I bagan taking it I could hardly tollerate a day without it. However, my condition was gradually declining and I had read some bad things about NSAIDs and wanted to quit taking them. Against my doctor's advice (he wanted to double my dose of Celebrex) and with the help of Dr. Stangaciu, Dr. Aguirre, Fred Malone and the other wonderful folks of this list I started BVT and was able to get off of the Celebrex within 2 days! My condition continued to improve with the BVT over the next several months. After about a year I ceased to see any noticeable improvement but I continued the BVT "loosely" for another 6 months or so just to be sure. I still have limitations but am SOOOO much better now than I have been since 1996 when I acquired this disease. Hope this helps. Yvonne Bernal Apitherapy against Multiple Sclerosis (French below) Hello, I have MS since the spring of 1999. During two years I took various drugs, of which an experimental drug, some Solumédrol flashes (corticothérapy by perfusion), antidepressants. I have had various symptoms, such as headaches all the time, a veil on the right eye, pain in my arms and in my legs, a loss in my muscle's strength and my load-carrying capacity, loss of balance, concern with urinary problems in spite of all those treatments and I have had regularly new relapses. I was depressed because I was feeling bad within my body, and in my head, I was suffering a lot! In the summer of 2001, a friend who is a bee-keeper advices me to read the book "Ces abeilles qui nous guérissent" (Those bees that heals us") written by Roch Domerego, edition JC Lattès. That's exactly what I did, I bought the book and read it. At the end of my reading, I decided to meet the author because I wanted to give it a try to the bee venom therapy . My bee venom therapy started the first day I met Roch Domerego, at his consulting-room in Bruxelles (Belgium). After some chaotic months, my illness got stabilised and my symptoms regressed. Even if I feel it always present it doesn't harass me so much, and with less intensity, what enables me to "breath" finally! I found back a certain quality of life with the Apitherapy. Best regards
Bonjour, Je suis atteint d'une sclérose en plaques depuis le printemps
1999. Durant deux ans, j'ai été traité avec divers
édicaments, dont une drogue experimentale, des flashs de solumédrol
(corticothérapie par perfusion), anti-dépresseur...
Je présentais divers symptômes, dont des maux de tête
incessants, un voile à l'oeil droit, des douleurs dans les
bras et les Eté 2001, un ami apiculteur me conseille un livre qui s'intitule "Ces abeilles qui nous guérissent" écrit par Roch DOMEREGO, édition JC Lattès. J'achète et je lis ce livre. La lecture achevée, je décide de rencontrer son auteur, car je souhaite essayer le traitement au venin d'abeilles dont il parle. Mon traitement avec le venin a débuté le jour même ou j'ai rencontré Roch DOMEREGO à son cabinet à Bruxelles Belgique). Après des mois chaotiques, ma maladie s'est stabilisée, et mes symptômes ont régressé. Même si je la sents toujours présente, elle me harcèle de bien plus loin, et avec bien moins d'intensité. Ce qui me permet de souffler enfin, j'ai retrouvé une certaine qualité de vie grâce à cette thérapie. Amicalement Jean-Michel Cudo Recovery after a traumatic amputation of the left leg Dear List (Apitherapy-L) I began beestings last October along with intensive acupuncture; Starting BVT conservatively & building to 10-14 stings every other day with an occasional 20-24. Stings were applied heavily to the area of previous infection, the amputation area generally and scar tissue specifically as well as to acupuncture and trigger points head to toe. By January, the vascular surgeon and infectious disease specialist
were no longer proposing re-amputation.; By end February I felt I
could reintroduce myself to the artificial leg without the infection The net effect of this work in progress has been an astounding re-vivication of the amputation area & the possession of a means of profound self care not otherwise available. The frustration of a brief testimonial is that it can only be
a faint schematic of a life altering adventure. In the uncharted midst
of that adventure, the experience and advice of very generous members
of the With reverence, respect & gratitude, Bee Stings against shingles and lyme disease: 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.

) Bee stings against low back and sciatic pain: I have been administering BVT to a woman with degenerative lumbar discs who has had continual low back and sciatic pain for the past 22 years since she fell off a roof and broke off her tailbone and injured the lumbar area. The very first test sting took away her pain! Quite amazing. We have been keeping her pain free with 4-7 stings 3 times per week varying places...lumbar area, sciatic nerve path, hips, knees and ankles. She is delighted and is now stinging herself and having her sister sting her lumbar area. She says she feels like she has gotten her life back. Bless the bees. I do follow everyone's correspondence and cheer you on! Sincerely, Fran Calvert Glen posted in Apitherapy-List: End of story. Alden Marshall Marianna- But you know, one of the things that turned me away from the ABC drugs years ago before I'd even heard of Bee Venom Therapy was the fact that even those who promote these medications admit that there is only a 25%-30% success rate for those who take these medications. This doesn't mean that your MS condition will only be improved
by 25%-30%. No. What this does mean is that for 75% of those who take
this dangerous medical course of treatment these drugs DON'T work
at all! But for me and BVT, I feel stable overall PLUS every time that
I have a stinging session my body COMES ALIVE and I feel great - strong,
energetic, clear and balanced. Other than a cure and a complete reversal
of all my symptoms (which I am waiting for) what else can I want right
now? My neurologist tells me that in 5-10 years there is a real possibility
of a cure. Well, my job today is to keep my machine (body) going in
as good condition as I am able until this cure comes. Barry MS: After recuperating from a debiltating relapse 6 years ago, I then learned about apitherapy. I am now walking, working on my Master's Degree, in an internship, and take care of my sick husband. It has been a long road for me to "get back into life"
however, not as fast as I would have preferred, but I just look at
it as old age setting in. Diffuse FEAR at all costs! This only makes us worse. But one thing I do know, my neurologist started sending me her "clients" to me, when she saw how well I was doing. That in itself is a miracle. Regards, and Keep the Faith. Improving the eyes vision through Bee Stings Therapy: On the 24th of March I was scheduled to take my drivers test exam here in Indiana. I have a sight problem with my right eye from years of being in a Marksman club as a kid and sighting in on all of those targets with my right eye. I have 20/90 vision in my right eye....not so good...especially
for the Department of Motor Vehicles. I tested on a chart early in
the morning to see how well I could focus in on the lines of numbers
and letters...sure I had remembered that on the Apitherapy-List the discussion of stings improving vision had been mentioned. I also knew that during my weekly sessions of stinging that my visual preception had improved as a side of effect....so I stung my self 5 times on my left arm ...since it was sore and stiff from working out. A few hours later I took my drivers exam and .....yahoo!....I only missed one letter on the chart....which gave me a 20/40 vision which is good enough for the DMV! So next time if you are looking for that little edge on your drivers test....sting away. Brent Biddle MS: Below is the letter I sent privately to Senor Luiz Claudio after reading his original letter on this list. It was suggested to me that I send this letter to the Apitherapy-List because it might help numerous other people. Since Senor Claudio asked his original question on a public list, I hope he will not mind that I make this letter public. Dear Senor Claudio, Hola! How are you? I read your letter to the Apither list expressing your reservations and doubts about using bee venom therapy to help your wife's MS. I also read Senora Judy Alvarez's reply to you as well as Debra's reply to you. I think their replies were correct and good advice. After reading your original letter where you stated that your wife had only 1,500 bee stings since January, 1998, I was not surprised that you or your wife might have doubts about the effectiveness of bee venom. The reason is that 1,500 stings is not enough stings (bee venom) to be helpful. This would mean your wife has only had, on average, 55 stings each month for 27 months. This is only 3.7 every other day for 27 months. I have a woman friend with MS whom I have helped. Before she began using BVT, she had been in a wheelchair for 13 years. She has NOT walked for 13 years. She was spending $1,000 per month for medicines. She had tried Avonex, Beta-seron, Copaxone, etc., and none of it helped alleviate her MS symptoms. She only became worse. She worked as a school counselor but because of the MS, she could barely make it through the day because of heavy fatigue and tiredness. In fact, she told me she was at the point of taking her own life. She wanted to die. She heard about bee venom therapy and contacted me. She began her BVT on September 30, 1998. Upon the (subsequent) recommendation of Ms. Pat Wagner, she has applied 30 stings every other day. This is 450 stings each month (30 x 15=450). Within 7 months, my friend was able to stop ALL medicines, she saved $1000 per month, she could work the whole day without becoming overly tired, her zest for living and her attitude toward life greatly changed and she was no longer suicidal. But, best of all, on Easter Sunday, 1999, she got out of her wheelchair and walked up 13 steps at her parent's home. Talk about RESURRECTION!! She walked for the first time in 13 years!!!! Is this a miracle? Yes, it is. A miracle given by God's honey
bee and I would suggest that you get a copy of Pat Wagner's book, "How
well are you willing to bee?" and begin using/following her directions.
Her books tells people with MS exactly where to apply bee stings and
when to apply the stings. There are drawings and illustrations showing
you where to apply the stings. Pat, known as the "Beelady"
also has MS. She has helped thousands of people with MS and if you
follow her advice about BVT, your wife should experience significant
improvement. As Senora Alvarez said and as your wife knows, the stings do hurt, but, I think you and she need to consider increasing the number of stings and to following the recommendations in Ms. Wagner's book. I know both of you will be very thankful when you see the results. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I will be glad to help. Siempre suyo, Fr. Lawrence Thompson+ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Apitherapy is a very ancient healing practice that dates back
to Hippocrates. It is well known, used and respected by doctors and
healers all over the world. Charles Mraz, a Vermont beekeeper, who
recently passed away at the ripe old age of 94, devoted most of his
life to healing and teaching this miraculous therapy. Through his
grass roots efforts, he founded the American Apitherapy Society and
has made Apitherapy available and accessible to the United States
and many other countries. For over 60 years he lectured, shared his
knowledge with doctors and scientists, and also supplied them with
bee venom. Thousands of people with arthritis, MS and other incurable
illnesses have been helped because of his unrelenting passion for
the humble honeybee. In 1999, Bee Venom was granted a new drug approval status by the FDA to begin a Phase 1 study sponsored by The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America in conjunction with Georgetown University Medical Center. It is being conducted as a result of all the MS patients that have been helped by this treatment, and by the dedicated efforts of the AAS. Their mission is to assist and provide information to doctors, researchers and the general public, about the incredible healing powers of Apitherapy and BVT. Bee Venom has many components, that have been researched and tested scientifically. It has been used successfully to treat many chronic conditions: Neurological, Rheumatological, Immune System, Dermatological, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Healing of Bones and Wounds, Endocrine, Viral and Psychiatric Conditions. Melittin, one of the many healing components of bee venom, exhibited powerful in vitro inhibitory effects on the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorfer in a recent study. The abstract appeared in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases (Clin Infect Dis 1997 Jul;25 Suppl 1:S48-51). Melittin is a molecule that kills cells by slicing through the cell membrane, destroying the cells. It is presently being researched by a team of scientists in Australia for its potential to kill cancer cells. Pat Wagner, apitherapist, author of How well Are You Willing to Bee? and a very grateful MS patient, recently applied for, and was granted, a provisional patent for eye drops she developed to successfully treat eye problems associated with MS, macular degeneration, color blindness and other eye and ear conditions. She is called "The Bee Lady" and has a website at: http://www.olg.com/beelady/ Dr Amber Rose, acupuncturist and apitherapist, treats patients by combining BVT and acupuncture. She wrote the book Bee In Balance and has a website at: www.amberrose.com. These are just some of the more recent developments in Apitherapy. After many years of being ill, my goal is to inform and disseminate information on Apitherapy, BVT and other alternative treatments to open minded individuals that are interested in learning how to take control of their health, prevent future illness, and lead productive and healthy lives. Nancy Rauhofer MS: Cindy MS: I can not fathom our existence without our honeybees. My thanks for your time to read this. Ray Anthony
