Just call it Holistic treatment and you’ll have dummies lining up and paying a premium to do it

Ahhh, the apitherapy alternative medicine community is going to have a field day with this.

Well, the kid from Stand By Me is definitely not gonna die of breast cancer...

Good point. As this is older news, kinda surprising that Gwyneth Paltrow hasn't already made the 'live bee enema' trendy.

They’ll be expounding upon the virtues and greatness of their honey bee butthole bleach soon.

You can become a millionaire based of this idea of you play your cards right and find gullible enough people.

I'm just imagining sentient bees asking "What fresh hell is THIS?"

This is not a new idea. I remember an Unsolved Mysteries episode from the Robert Stack days where this was discussed.

Wasn't it leaches that got on him, not bees?

Maybe they meant My Girl?

I probably did, but I will never be sure since I haven't seen either movie in well over a decade. I will leave this up to be a monument to my own lack of culture.

I have to assume it's not a lot different than the bacteria thing.

I think that was related to MS, but yeah!!

reminds me of the monkey smelling finger butt baby wipes

Short and long explanations of why it's not recommended or scientifically proven to benefit patients (in case anyone is thinking of trying/recommending it):

Cuba has been using a cancer treatment made from blue scorpion venom for years.

The bee scene was definitely My Girl.

This however does not mean one should trespass on an orchard and stick one's titties in a beehive.

It's generating a lot of buzz.

Totally. That said, one of the drugs my wife is taking right now for BC is derived from a plant. It stands to reason Bee Venom could be tweaked and packaged in much the same way. The article is correct. Even though the survival rate for this is very high, the short term and long term impacts aren’t a cake walk. 1 in 8 women will develop BC so something like this could change a lot of lives.

The key is to have a directed way to get the bee venom to the cancer cells.

A lot of apiarist are well aware of sting therapy and the benefits beyond just those mentioned in the study. If your wife is interested you could always find a local bee keeper and ask if they know about sting therapy.

Depends on the allergy levels.

Bee sting is cleaner than wasp sting. Creates inflammation, but no infection.

People use it to relive arthritis.

Tell me more...

Had a buddy who as a dare, for science, caught a bee and proceeded to get it to sting his pork sword...

​

It did not work as advertised, but worked exactly how one would think.

When a honey bee stings, it loses its stinger and kills the bee. They are already threatened enough. I guess this could be a positive and have corporations raising bees causing them to thrive again....
