Dear a,

Your post reminded me of Dr. Gott's daily column in the Pasadena Star News

that had a gentleman write in about having suffered from severe arthritis

for years and after a painful bee sting (his wife hung his pajamas on the

clothes line instead of using the dryer so they would smell good) the

arthritis went away. Dr. Gott answered that he had heard that before and

that he listens when he hears unusual cures and that he hopes eventually

medical researchers will pay attention too!

I hope you are doing well.

Patsy,

I've heard f bee venom therapy and it is very interesting. My dad, who

is my neighbor,

used to raise honey bees and many of them still make their home here.

I've been tempted

on more than one occasion to grab one and sting myself! Here's some

interesting reading:

Patsy, hi.

Would that it be so easy to overcome RA! I'd run out and find some bees

asap! That must have been some bee sting.
