Recent comments on Bee venom for MS and high cot of same for bee allergy
treatment entice me to report that I have been involved with an experimental
treatment for MS patients using live active bees.  It is referred to as Bee
Venom Therapy.  I found it quite strange that after avoiding stings for many
years now I was endeavoring to get one bee to sting a person in a selected
spot.  Usually within 1/2 accuracy.
 
One Doctor in the group meeting was has been following the therapy since it
extended acupuncture treatment in that it left an irritant to further
attract the defenses of one' s own body to a particular area.  Thus the
procedure involved a knowledge of acupuncture points, as related to MS plus
catching individual bees and applying their stings.
 
Does anyone have any experience in this?  Is the group interested?
 
Thanks
