Interesting to see the bee venom therapy discussion in high gear,
especially since an exceptionally informative educational afternoon with
speakers on the subject during the BC Honey Producers AGM.
 
Has anyone any experience using bee venom therapy for Lou Gehrig's disease?
Am I correct in thinking ALS is the same disease? As a muscular
degeneration condition, I would expect it to have similarities to MS, but
would be interested in comments on the more specific use for Lou Gehrig's -
i.e. what stage was the treatment used,  what points to use the venom on,
duration of treatments, effectiveness etc.
 
I have a dear friend who has been diagnosed with the above, "or something
very like it". So far, 18 months after onset, the effects are still
confined to the tongue - swollen and stiff, causing serious speech damage.
No traditional treatments appear to be known. Acupuncture etc. have done a
little - a very little. She is ready to try anything and has been very
interested in the references to immune system stimulation of bee venom. Any
help out there?
