#Multiple sclerosis Sufferer Treated With Bee stings Bee stings Helped Me Live! A multiple sclerosis sufferer has treated her debilitating condition with a course of 1, 500 bee stings.
Sami Chugg, 45, was diagnosed with MS in 1998 and it slowly began to attack her ability to move.
The incurable disease stops the bodys nerve cells communicating and she was soon so ill she was bed permanently ridden.
But she is now back on her feet after trying a treatment called Bee Venom Therapy (BVT.
and deliberately stinging an area of skin on the patients body. Experts believe the venom in the sting helps ease the pain of MS symptoms
and also stimulates the body to fight back Sami says she was stung around 1, 500 in eighteen months and says it has given her her mobility back.
Bee Venom Therapy, or Apitherapy, uses the stings of live bees to relieve symptoms of MS such as pain, loss of coordination,
Researchers suggest that certain compounds in bee venom reduce inflammation and pain and a combination of all its ingredients helps the body to release natural healing compounds.

The figures released by Monsanto were examined by French researcher Dr Gilles-Eric Seralini, from the University of Caen.
What weve shown is clearly not proof of toxicity, but signs of toxicity, he told New Scientist magazine.
Im sure theres no acute toxicity but whos to say there are no chronic effects? The experiments were carried out by Monsanto researchers on three strains of GM maize.
Two of the varieties contained genes for the Bt protein which protects the plant against the corn borer pest,
while a third was modified genetically to be resistant to the weedkiller glyphosate. All three strains are grown widely in America,
while one is the only GM crop grown in Europe, mostly in Spain. Monsanto only released the raw data after a legal challenge from Greenpeace, the Swedish Board of Agriculture and French anti-GM campaigners.
Dr Seralini concluded that rats which ate the GM maize had statistically significant signs of liver and kidney damage.
Each strain was linked to unusual concentrations of hormones in the blood and urine of rats fed the maize for three months,
Female rats fed one of the strains also had higher blood sugar levels and raised levels of fatty substances caused triglycerides,
Dr Seralini reported in the International Journal of Microbiology. The analysis concluded: These substances have never before been an integral part of the human
or animal diet and therefore their health consequences for those who consume them, especially over long time periods are currently unknown.
