Neuropathy can also be caused by Diabetes, cardiac problems and/or poor circulation. I don't know the cause of your friend's father's neuropathy, but that would be the place to start. He has more...

Great advice, Bee Bliss. I also have that book and find it an interesting read. Sorry I omitted it:(

Hi Pamela,
There are several options for you, and you could really do all three of them. 1. Reach out to beekeepers in your area and see if they know anyone with bvt experience. 2. Join the American...

I couldn't agree with you more, Seamus. There is no reason to avoid local raw honey. It has antiseptic/antibacterial properties.

Hi shmiusa,
If you don't get a reply from someone in Boston, try apitherapy.org. You may have to join in order to get the name of someone but it is your best bet if no one on this board is in your...

You are a brave one, Seamus! I'm glad its helping but again, stinging near the eye raises great concern for me.

At one time, a professor at Wake Forest University was conducting a study on the effects of using propolis in cancer treatment. I have not heard the outcome of the study but initially it looked...

I have heard of using honey for cataracts, as described in this thread. The idea of stinging near the eyes is very concerning to me. I personally would not try that.

You can sting daily if you are still having the pain. When you notice that the pain has subsided, skip a day. Soon you may be able to skip two days. I have found that after a while I can go longer...

Many apitherapists use the acupuncture sites.

I don't know about using apitherapy for dizziness, rtoney. You might try the American Apitherapy Society. Someone there might be able to give you some information.

Greg and I will be there.

Absolutely, Michael - tried and true. That's the way we do it.

We'll be there.

Mountainfairy,
Your questions about your inhaler/corticosteriods are best addressed by your physician or pharmacist. No one else is qualified to answer these questions. I would take the MD or...

Pat Wagner's book is very helpful. I also like Amber Rose's book "Bee in Balance." It has pages and pages with diagrams of sting sites.

There's that, the major lobbying pharmaceutical companies pay for and the lack of profit from promoting natural treatments. :p

I have been using BVT for a neck and shoulder problem. There are eight locations I sting on the advice of an apitherapist/accupuncturist. The first one is at the base of the skull on the affected...

Greg and I got a couple of those at EAS last year. I gave them to my two grandsons. I had no idea that they were hard to use. When I read this thread, I called my daughter and she confirmed that they...

Actually, anyone who has suffered severe anaphylactic shock faces the possibility of a quicker, stronger reaction with the next sting exposure. Anaphylaxis is nothing to play with.

Sorry for the long delay in answer! I don't know if it would help at all. I have used both for allergies and cold symptoms and both bee pollen and propolis open up my head. I thought it was worth a...

I don't personally know anyone who has tried BVT for migraines. I think one must be very careful about stings to the head or neck. I think I would try bee pollen or propolis before trying BVT.

I...

My husband and I spray them with water before opening the jar. It slows them down and makes flying difficult. That way you don't have to smoke up your house or have the expense of CO2.
Susan

I agree whole heartedly, John. I suggested the American Apicultural Society because I don't know any beekeepers in Texas who will provide the bees or their stings and the American Apitherapy Society...
