        Hello dear Bernard and bee friends,

    Very often the so called "allergies" are only normal local reactions,
even if the swelling, pains and redness are intense.

    The best way to see if somebody has really a BV allergy is to advise
him/her to visit the local best allergologist.

    Besides the clasical desensitization method (used by the
allergologists), there are many others used by alternative medicine
practitioners.
    I believe its useful to try both of them, if this proves to be really
necessary.

    More details on BV and allergies you can obtain from:

    * The Apitherapy Reference Data Base:  www.sci.fi/~apither

    * MEDLINE (see the apitherapy related links from the above and/or below
sites)

    * The American Apitherapy Society's Web Site:   www.apitherapy.org/aas


        Best wishes,

        Stefan Stangaciu, MD, L.Acup.
