As long as this patient has a doctor to prescribe bee stings and has a
doctor monitor their reaction to their stings for the first several sessions
it should be ok. There are doctors who use this therapy and with MS patients
it works with I think 60% of them, so I read. Like I wrote before, request
and get a doctors note. You might even call the doctor that the patient uses
to verify the note.
