Bee venom therapy is used to treat arthritis pain and works for some. I have not heard of it used for MS or other conditions. The cheap laugh for me is I am allergic to bees!

My favorite question, right? Well, to be polite, I gave him a simple explanation and he really seemed interested and with some knowledge of autoimmune disorders. Told me of someone he knew who has MS, etc. And then, he mentioned bees' venom, and that perhaps I should try it. I thought he was joking and I laughed as I really relish and enjoy a good laugh, but he was not joking. He said he could administer it himself, knew where to get the bees, etc. He asked my email address to send me details and so on... I could hardly get through reading the journal of this man with MS who would obviously try anything. He mentioned in the journal taking low dose maltrexone. I checked on line at lowdosenaltrexone.org seems it can boost the immune system. I never heard of anyone in the group taking that. Anyway, this Bee Venom Therapy also called Bee Sting Therapy or Apitherapy intrigued me after I stopped laughing. I'm wondering if anyone ever heard of it, and if I should forward it to the group. I don't think I should. Let me know what you think.
