Bee sting therapy

[Guest guest]

I know that bee sting therapy has been discussed on these pages in the past.

However, I recently received an email from a woman in my local MS support group

that described some very significant benefits that she has derived from doing

sting therapy. Her words are below, and I think some members of this group would

like to read of her experience. She has said that she would be happy to talk to

any MS'ers, but I hesitate to put her contact info in this public forum. If you

would like to speak with Becky, the writer, please contact me off list, and I

will put you together.

Becky's story:

Before I started the treatments, I was having spasms in my lower back that were

causing me to walk with my walker hunched over and bent at the waist. I could

not stand without holding on to something. I could not get out of a chair

without assistance. I could not get my feet into the car without someone doing

it for me. This slowly worsened along with pain and major spasticity. A steroid

treatment did not help with these issues. I was feeling hopeless and it had

been slowly worsening for months. My husband did some research and found Hasna

[a local apitherapist]. I have been getting treatment since the middle of March.

I now get 10-12 stings twice a week. At first I had terrible side effects but

now get just a little itchy and puffy. This I can deal with because of what I

am experiencing. Some of the things that have improved are - I can get into the

car by myself and drive with my hand controls, I can pick up my feet when I

walk, I am not having painful spasms anymore, I unloaded the dishwasher without

holding on to anything, I was able to independently get onto her healing table,

I am walking with a straight back, I took four steps without holding on to

anything, my 9 year old son told me I am cheerful again and I can get out of a

chair by myself (just to name a few things that I am noticing). After each

session with Hasna, I am becoming stronger and independent again.

Hi Charmoon,

 

I am very pleased to hear about this and would like to talk/chat with her about

myself please.I am a person with a chronic illness (Primary progressive multiple

sclerosis), being diagnosed in 2004, am on wheelchair for over two years. I have

been reading about the bee sting therapy as one of the potential treatments and

has been of great help to people like me. I have started the bee stings mainly

on both sides of my spinal cord on my back, from top to botom and the affected

parts ( both hands and legs) through a local beekeeper @ 30 (average) stings per

day and three times a week. It has been over two months, have completed 900

stings so for and I don't feel any significant change. I didn't have any

allergic reactions to these stings.I would like to know how and where exactly to

sting on the body and the number and frequency of stings please. How long it may

take feel any difference.

I look forward to hear from you soon please

Best wishes and kind regards

Arshad
