ANNOUNCEMENT
PACIFIC NORTHWEST APITHERAPY CONFERENCE
Vancouver, British Columbia June 12-14, 1998
Interest in the ancient practice of apitherapy is growing by leaps and
bounds. Recent newspaper articles and television documentaries have
publicized the remarkable results reported by people using bee venom
therapy to treat disorders such as multiple sclerosis and arthritis.
Apitherapists are finding it helpful with many other conditions as well.
The medicinal uses of propolis, honey, pollen, and royal jelly for
treatment of infections, prostate problems, and other conditions is
increasing.
The Pacific Northwest Apitherapy Conference has been organized to provide
practical and theoretical information for everyone interested in
apitherapy:
physicians, naturopaths, lay practitioners, individuals with conditions
that respond to apitherapy, and beekeepers who produce the hive products
and bees used in apitherapy.
Conference activities will include:
lectures by world-class apitherapists, small group workshops providing
practical instruction on such topics as administering and receiving bee
venom, specialized equipment for handling bees and collecting venom,
medicinal uses of hive products such as royal jelly, pollen, propolis, and
honey; and a panel discussion conducted by individuals with multiple
sclerosis, arthritis, and other conditions which have responded to
apitherapy.
The British Columbia Honey Producers Association is sponsoring this event
and invites all interested individuals to attend. It will be held at Simon
Fraser University, but is not a function of the university. Exhibition
tables will be available for rent for those who have products they wish to
sell.
