Bee Venom for centuries
has been thought to have a beneficial effect in the treatment
of arthiritis, and is partially based on the observation that
beekeepers are seldom afflicted.
While venom treatment is the most publicized component of apitherapy, there is a growing number of studies confirming the healing quality of honey when used for wounds. Propolis, manufactured by bees starting with the resins of new or damaged plants and then mixed with pollen, enzymes and wax, has been found in laboratory tests to contain antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties.
Currently under investigation
is the potential benefit in some instances of Muscular Sclerosis
(MS) and in the desensitization of hypersensitive individuals.

Apitherapy News - Up-to-date information about the therapeutic use of bee hive products such as honey, bee venom, bee-collected pollen, propolis, beeswax, and royal jelly
As a physician who utilizes bee venom therapy with great success for arthritis, asthma, sarcoidosis (one of the most valuable and unknown uses of BVT), and many acute and chronic inflammatory conditions I have been searching for this book for several years. Almost everyone I know in the field spoke about it and its author, Bodog Beck, MD, the modern father of bee venom therapy, yet very few people actually had a copy. Some had actually xeroxed the entire book in order to have it. Now, finally, Health Resources Press, which also publishes Dr. Beck's other famous book on the medicinal and therapeutic uses of honey (ie. the use of honey in the prevention and cure of disease),Honey and your health, has not only reprinted the entire book on excellent paper, beautiful,clear type, and slightly larger than the original but also added a lengthy foreword ( which I wrote for them sharing my years of experience as well and updating Dr. Beck's material). This book will provide you with everything you need to understand the subject and is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive book on the subject.
The food products of bees have long been attributed with many health benefits. They can lead to greater stamina, increased resistance to disease, and, counterintuitively, often help reduce pollen allergies. Scientific studies have revealed that bee propolis, royal jelly, honey, and bee pollen are rich sources of antioxidant "phytochlemicals"-vitamin-like substances similar to those found in common vegatables. In this User's Guide, Dr. Broadhurst explains the scientific rationale behind bee foods and describes how they can improve your health.
