bee venom as a form of pain management?!?
ricanfemale30
Iveheard that bee stings have been used as a form of therapy in other countries..I've always been skeptical but my grandma came over yesterday with lunch and she told me her sister in Puerto Rico saw suttin on TV bout crema de abeja or cream of bee..its a cream that uses bee venom or some shit extract of bees or whatever n u put it on the painful area three times a day...unfortunately the # u call is only in Spanish no English option so my grandma talked to them while I was there..they wanted to speak to the patient but truthfully my Spanish is Caribbean Spanish so I can't understand Spanish spoken from south America...needless to say my gma ordered me 4 months worth if it for $259...she didn't listen to me when. I said I don't need it..she's hoping for a miracle that something is going to work..ques is has anyone ever tried or heard of it? My family in PR keep tabs on alternative tx's and this went thru the whole fam

I have heard of it and have also heard that some use bee stings for severe pain from arthritis and orthopedic issues. They have farms in upstate New York that allow patients to come for the therapy. Here is an article I found on it helping MS patients (not scientifically proven), but doctors prescribe it.

Update us on it. I know they have bee farms in just about every countryside in every state, so I am hoping it does work.
