"Ether" way... bee venom "therapy" is a pretty horrifically barbaric way to "deliver" a dose of melittin.

That said, I have witnessed multiple people address beekeeper meetings, stating that bee venom alone was the sole proximate cause of their "beating" Multiple Sclerosis, and one who said that it ended her suffering from "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome".

I accept those personal accounts as truthful, heartfelt, and perhaps simple statistical outliers, but once one addresses the allergic-response risk for each patient, we beekeepers are proof that a few bee stings now and again are harmless to one's health, so "it can't hurt".  So, I have taught several people how to keep bees in an ob hive for personal bee-sting-treatment use, as to sell them bees would be criminal, and to give them bees would create an unlimited personal liability risk.  But people keep bees at their own risk, you see.
