Re: I LOVE my ENDO + bee venom

[Guest guest]

Jan and fellow Texas thyroid folks:

I saw the most interesting program on TLC about alternative medical

treatments using leeches, maggots, and bee venom.

Some forward thinking doctors are treating patients who suffer from

MS with injections of bee venom. A doctor in the UK tried it on his

wife because she was suffering terribly with MS and conventional

treatments weren't helping. Sound familiar? His wife and others

have benefitted immensely from the treatment. I haven't had time to

look into it further but I'm wondering if ... the bee venom helps

prevent the antibodies from attacking the part of the body that

results in MS symptoms, I wonder if it can prevent thyroid antibodies

from attacking the thyroid. I know it sounds way out there, but you

just never know.
