Bee venom stings to help MS (Unsolved) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"Alternative Medicine

One of the first things Farrell learned about MS is that it doesn’t typically affect the longevity of your life, but it will affect your quality.

With no traditional treatment known for her form of MS, Farrell turned to alternative treatments, including bee venom injections or “stings,” which she did from 1997 to 2009.

“I had 15 stings every other day,” said Farrell. “It was very painful.”

She had heard of the treatment on an episode of the TV show “Unsolved Mysteries.”

Farrell, who ordered her bee venom from Canada, was part of a yearlong study of the treatment sponsored by the MS Society. For her, it worked wonders.

“It gave me energy and really seemed to help,” said Farrell, who for years had struggled with extreme fatigue — a common symptom of MS — but chalked it up to working long hours in her husband’s family medical practice."

thanks,I was wondering about apitherapy (that's the official name for bee sting therapy) and whether it had been tried for other ppl.

I also wonder about the lady who's MS symptoms dissapeared after she was struck by lightening,and she was able to walk again.anyone heard any updates on her? is she still in remission?

As far as I know, Mary Clamser no longer suffers from the disease. I found her and her family on Facebook awhile back and she looks healthy.

This episode must be rare because I might've only seen it once or never. Some of the sci-med ones are hard to find.

I forgot about the bee venom episode, probably because to me it was a boring segment. The Sci-Med ones weren't my favorites. But I wonder if I should tell my mom about this treatment, since she was diagnosed with MS over a month ago and is taking painful injections to help slow the progression.

it's called apitherapy,should you decide to tell her.

for that matter,I wonder if shock treatment could help.I mean obviously you couldn't strike someone with a bolt of lightening like mary received,but I wonder if it could be done in the course of many low-wattage treatments,sort of the way they used to shock treat mental health patients.JAT.
I really think God healed Mary;I don't know if she was praying for it or not after having been sick w her last episode for so long,and no remission,but I think they should look into ways to use energy to heal MS pts.
