Didn't Dr. K (Gigi's friend) use bee venom? I don't think he had all that high a cure rate.

Also the site that sells the bee venom "beauty cream" does not indicate it is killer bee venom. I bet there is a difference.

Honey bee venom is what has been traditionally used... and mostly for common arthritis but how much of that is caused by lyme? who knows.

Dr Donsbach has used it quite a bit in his clinic in Mexico and the one in Europe for arthritis. It works for some and not for others, like everything else.

Her levels of bee venom must have been huge, relatively. They collect bee venom and apply by injection in some places in Europe.

It's usually honey bee venom that is used. I bet it makes a BIG difference!

If it was guaranteed to work...anything could sting me. Killer bees scorpions sting rays... I'd do it all if it worked!

Stephen Burhner says that you can make a tincture from macerated whole honey bees. No need for a sting. His article also explains how to harvest honey bee venom without killing the bees or being stung. I put that article link on a different thread about honey bees and lyme arthritis.

Actually did try the bee venom thing

Injected myself once a day, all I got out of that was a swollen arm- didn't do anything for me
