The Stings That Heal
by Muriel Compton
Bee Venom Therapy (BVT), otherwise known as Apitherapy,
is really quite simple.
In 1997, I started developing numbness through my legs, arms, hands and chest. I also began losing
weight very fast. There was a terrible kind of tingling sensation through my whole body. It made me feel
like I was being eaten alive by worms. It was horrible and frightening. After a series of medical tests, my
final diagnosis was clear. I had Multiple Sclerosis.
Currently, the conventional methods for treating Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are bleak. Not much can be done,
other than providing care while the disease progresses. Eventually, many people with MS become
incapacitated. MS leaves people negotiating their lives in a wheelchair or worse, completely bedridden
and dependent. I was in my late twenties at the time of my diagnosis, and this was not the forecast I
wanted for the rest of my life.
The neurologist I was seeing recommended that I begin weekly Interferon injections. The cost for four
injections was $1,600.00. When I came back from Europe, it was suggested that the injections be
increased to three times a week, making this treatment financially difficult. I also started having some
serious side effects, including hallucinations, fever, and feeling like I had the flu all the time. Despite the
poor outcomes, I continued this treatment for three months.
A dear friend then told about an unusual therapy for MS that has produced some amazing results: bee
venom. To be more precise, she told me that the treatment involves allowing bees to deliberately sting
you. Considering my options, I chose to investigate this rather unique method.
The first course of action was to find out if there would be an allergic reaction. My friend showed me how to
give my first sting. My body did not show an allergy to the bee venom, so I began delivering my first bee
sting treatments. It is advisable to start off slowly. I began with six bee stings at a time, increasing slowly
to 20 to 30 stings, three times a week.
I was astonished when after the first several sessions my body started waking up. In three weeks, I could
walk down a flight of stairs. As I continued, I felt better and better, and maintained the bee sting treatments
for a total of eight months. Now, after six years, I am living proof that it truly works! I am active again, and an
advocate for this amazing, yet unconventional healing tool.
Bee Venom Therapy (BVT), otherwise known as Apitherapy, is really quite simple. First, it is important to
check for an allergic reaction. For some people, bee stings can be fatal and this treatment is not an
option. If the body shows reasonable tolerance, however, then the bees can be placed on acupoints along
meridian lines, scars, or trigger points and allowed to sting. The bee stingers are left in place for 10 to 15
minutes before removing. The treatment session can consist of 20 to 40 stings, and should be done
several times a week. The course of treatment also includes a vegetarian diet free of gluten and a few
added vitamin supplements. I also used Bach Flower Remedy’s and visualization techniques to help my
body to remember a state of wellness.
No one seems to know why BVT works. Science has yet to produce proof. However, an increasing number
of people with MS are turning to this unconventional approach and having miraculous results. BVT is also
being used to treat Lupus, sciatica, low back pain, tennis elbow, and more. It is believed the bee venom
stimulates the body to heal itself.
BVT is not for everyone. And you won’t find BVT available at your local hospital. For one thing, BVT is
relatively inexpensive and does not contribute to commercialized medical practices. It also requires a
personal commitment and repeated follow through. In addition, many people (including myself) adopt a
strict diet and use positive images of healing to prompt the body and mind back to health. It takes work. In
my case, it was worth it.
BVT (Apitherapy) has been described as far back as the days of Hippocrates, Aristotle, and even the Bible.

York, NY; 1935) Bee In Balance (by Amber Rose L.Ac., L.C.S.W; Starpoint Enterprizes, Bethesda, MD;
1994); How Well Are You Willing To Bee? (by Pat Wagner; Wildes Printing, White Plains, MD; 1997); and
Health And The Honeybee (by Charles Mraz; Queen City Publishing, Burlington, VT; 1994).
The point is, if your immune system is compromised, and the methods you are currently using are not
effective, bee aware that there are other options.
