It's been shown (somewhere or other) that bee venom kills mycoplasma.

Just my luck I am allergic severely to bee stings. Ah well good thing the

antibiotics work. :-) I am feeling just fine.

I was AMAZED to read the above article and the other medical

results at the end of the page.

Some years ago when my Wife was still mobile and teaching school, (and I

was her official aid) we began a special therapy to help her MULTIPLE

SCLEROSIS. This was BEE VENOM Therapy. I got my bees from down south and

my bee box from Maine and did the live bee stings as protocol indicated.

(We were taught from a lady in middle New Jersey who was recognized then

as doing some remarakable work with MS patients).

My wife and I noted IMMEDIATE improvement in sensation/warmth/ bladder

control, pain relief and mental acquity as well as mobility. We continued

the therapy for some time always with improvement. Because of her

teaching schedule and the care of children at home (etc.) we were not as

consistant with this therapy as we should have been - and because of that

we cannot testify to more improvement as we did not continue (only because

of our schedules). Our neurologist was in favor of the home-treatment and

had read positive literature on the subject. At that time live bees were

the only way to get the most benefit of the venom - as laboratory venom

was not as effective.

I therefore find this rather interesting and a positive finding. I will

look forward to more reports on this new avenue for potential treatment of

Lyme.

I've been following all the talk about bee venom with interest, but I

have a question for those doing it. Doesn't this really hurt? I got stung a

couple of weeks ago by one " wild " bee. It stung me on my finger near the

knuckle and it was painful for DAYS. How often do you sting (daily?weekly?)

and how many stings at once?

One thing you can do is to search the archives at the lyme-aid home

site. It is a little time consuming, but a great tool.

Apitherapy is the use of products of the honey bee colonies:

Propolis, Pollen, Honey, Royal Jelly, Bee Venom, and Honey cappings.

Bee Venom Therapy involves the use of bee venom either in the form of

live bees, or in injectible form, to treat disease. It is only

approved in the US for use in desensitiziation of allergic persons to

bee venom- where dilute injections are given until the person is

desensitized. However, there are doctors in the US, and around the

world who use bee venom therapy in their practice. There is also a

sort of grass roots movement of apitherapists who usually are

treating themselves, but may also hold stinging sessions and assist

others to learn to treat themselves. they cannot charge for these

services. Some ask for a donation, but I get the feeling that most

do it to share their enthusiasm and help others. There are a couple

of courses that can be taken to learn Apitherapy. One is an online

course- info at apitherapy.com (url below)

There is a simple safety protocol and a few contraindications in BVT.

So, don't run out and start catching bees yet!

> Where can I get it?

It obviously preferable to have experienced guidance when undertaking

treatment of disease, but one nice thing about Apitherapy is that you

can get the treatment without any prescription. This might prove

very valuable to those who are marginalized by the medical system and

can't find proper medical care, or who simply can't afford it. Like

I said, there are doctors and other health professionals using it in

their practices, but they are few and far between, and I don't think

many are treating lyme. Dr. Klinghardt is treating lyme with BV,

herbs, and other stuff. I haven't spoken to any of his patients.

Bees can be caught from spring through early autumn, you can keep a

hive (which is really neat and you don't need much space), get them

from a local bee keeper (quite possibly for free), or you can order

live bees through the mail.

> Who do I ask?

Me! If you are still interested after doing some reading

(bibliography and links below) I can refer you a little further

afield. Also, let me know where you are and check the Apitherapy

database for apitherapists and practicioners in your area, and you

can post to the Apitherapy list server (a low traffic international

bulletin board on apitherapy) Both accesible from Apitherapy.com.

For anyone in the S.F. Bay area, a friend and I may do an ad-lib talk

and demo. at the Marin lyme support group. Let me know if

interested, and I'll contact you if and when it happens (possibly

this month on 25th???).

> Who believes in it?

A handful of doctors, and the people that have used it successfully.

One of the reasons that I became interested is because of the

overwhelming enthusiasm put forth by people who have used it

succsesfully on themselves and others. Would people keep stinging

themselves with bees for sometimes years on end if it didn't work?

Possibly some, but not most. I know only 3 people who use it for

lyme besides ourselves, but one other who had erethema migrans and

subsequently developed MS after a short term antibiotic course.

> (is it mainstream or considered alternative?)

Definitely on the fringe

Probably heard of it, but....

We are quite intrigued with it. I may at some point carefully write

a post outlining my case for further exploration into using BVT for

lyme disease, but basically my reasons are:- it seems to be useful

in diseases which lyme can cause: MS, ALS, LUPUS, RA, other

arthritises, CFS, FM etc... Those 4 people I mentioned earlier.

Dr. Klinghardt uses it specifically for lyme, and there was a small

paper published showing that Mellitin, a major component of bee

venom, had a powerful effect against Borrellia in vitro.

Not as much to go on as one would like, but that is exactly

why more people need to give it a try to see how many of us it can

help. The two things I would really like to see are...

*more lyme patients trying this modality which might give us

another tool to use in treating this stubborn disease. And we need

all we can get.

*To see people who already use Apitherapy for diseases which

can be caused by lyme be evaluated properly for lyme disease to see

if that is what they are treating. If many of them are treating

lyme, it sets an example that it can work for lyme, but, it also

gives those people the benefit of the experienced gained in treatment

of lyme by other methods, and a causative agent for their disease.

With these two things, we don't need medical research. We have the

bee stuff. The proof is in the pudding. It either works or it

doesn't. The research will follow us eventually if it does work.

When bee stings are outlawed, only outlaws will get bee stings?

I have RA and have read many of the posted messages. The pain and

exhaustion that is freqently mentioned is very familiar to me.

Has anyone tried using live bees for bee sting therapy? Some people

claim it works very well in reducing pain.
