This cutting-edge therapy utilizes the medicinal application of bee stings to treat a multitude of bodily ailments, from cancer to multiple sclerosis. Apitherapy is the Latin word for bee. Bees are placed on trigger points associated with the health complaint and the venom injected is said to stimulate the adrenal glands to produce cortisol, a hormone with anti-inflammatory properties. Proponents claim bee venom has been used successfully for thousands of years. China is conducting new experiments, but the American medical community still considers it quackery and has no controlled scientific studies underway. There is, however, an American Apitherapy Society, founded by a Vermont beekeeper who claims to have documented hundreds of cures and prevention treatments, especially for arthritis.
