IMHO, a very bad story:

Neurologist Michael Devereaux said he finds bee sting therapy troubling, and sad.
Health reporter Alicia Booth asked him if he thinks there's any value to it at all. Devereaux said, "No, none."

In fact, Devereaux said the practice can be dangerous if patients discontinue treatment medically proven to be effective.
"If they're stopping their treatment, they're hurting themselves and there's just no scientific validation that it does any good," Devereaux said.

Alexander insists his clients stop their M.S. medication for at least a month before getting stung.
He believes in what he does, even though the medical community as a whole, does not.

"If this does not work for you, you're not human, because mother nature rules," Alexander said.
