Bee therapy for MS suffers? Has any one heard of it or tried it?

Question

I once saw it on the animal planet that some MS suffers stung themselves daily with honey bees and it helped them. One woman claimed she was bed bound and couldn't talk and she agreed to it as a last result and within 6 months she was walking again.She said it has been the best natural healer for her. My neighbour has it really bad and she cannot even talk now and is bed bound, ifeel so much for her as she is only 30 and her three young boys are the same age as my children and she totally depends upon them.I pray for her and wish that this therapy is true but need more info on it and proof. One of her children has just broke his arm and i try to give the children some comfort but its not the same as a mothers love. Her youngest 5 year old sits in her hospital bed and reads her stories. I pray that their is hope for her. If anyone has heardanything about this please let me know.

Answer 1

I saw the same report that you did and it appears that it does work for some people. The problem is finding a Physician who does the treatment. The most likely type of doctor to do this would be a rheumatologist. You could call rheumatologists in your area and see if you can find anybody who does this.

I have been bedridden for seventeen years from an accident and Fibromyalgia, so I know what it's like to suffer.

Answer 2

I have heard of it but I have no idea of how successful it is. I do know one type of unusual treatment for MS which is gradually becoming more acceptable.It is called lowdose naltrexone. It is unsuitable for those on steroids. I have more than a dozen patients on it myself with considerable success.

Answer 3

your friend will do much better on TYSABRI (monoclonal antibody therapy).
the bee sting just does not seem to be effective
