Bees get rid of arthritis?!


Question:

Bees get rid of arthritis?

I have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in every joint of my body. I wont grow out of it seeing as im 19 and i've had it for 5 years now. I just saw on TV that people let bees sting them to get rid of their arthritis for good.. is that true? or does it just help the pain?

Answers:

It's called apitherapy and it's used to treat arthritis, multiple sclerosis, malaria, and many others. Right now the evidence is only anecdotal so take everything you hear with a grain of salt and go get an allergy test before starting. You don't have to use live bees either; bee venom is available in vials for injection, cream form, and even pill form. The injectable forms seem to be yielding the best results with summer venom being more potent than winter venom. There are even folks called apitherapists that administer this treatment. The link below has tons of info on diseases, where to find apitherapists,etc. Heck, why not just become a beekeeper and have all the bees you want. In my years of keeping bees I've never met an arthritic beekeeper. Good luck!
