Bee Venom Therapy Update

Hello all,

I haven't updated my progress in awhile, I am closing in on 10 months of doing bee venom therapy and I do have to say I am feeling great! All my everyday symptoms are gone, the last few being neuropathy in left hand, tinnitus in the right ear. I still have pain every now and then and go thru periods of time where I don't feel well but mostly it's when I'm HERXIng and I seem to be HERXING more now at 10 months than I did the first 6 months but they don't last but a few hours. But it's possibly cause it's gotten into the cysts and bio films, it kills all forms of Lyme.

I did hit a wall in about the 7th month and felt like I had the flu every day when I got up, this is normal, poor hubby is hitting it now. Mine lasted a few weeks and then it seems like my healing went to a new level after it passed.

I did Rifampin for 6 months which over lapped when I started BVT and thought it was gone but got some of the foot pain back and it has now dissipated.

My hubby's tremor is hardly there anymore, it was one of his first noticeable symptoms of Lyme. He is feeling way better and when he comes out of this slump I am expecting him to see a huge increase in symptom relief.

We did spend our winter in the FL Keys (Nov-end Feb) and I went thru some depression for a few weeks coming back up to WV. I did do a lot of bike riding, kayaking and walking while we were there and he enjoyed golf about every week. I unfortunately had tendonitis in my right wrist and it took about all of the 4 months to go away and the kayaking probably didn't help but on the way home we did play golf in Deland and I had no problems with the wrist.

If anybody wants info on BVT, please feel free to email me, would love to help out. Hubby said no way he would let a bee sting him but after seeing my results for 3 months, he is definitely a believer and got on board.

Do not try to sting with bee without following a protocol, you must have an epi pen, liquid benedryl and take 3000 ml vitamin C per day.

Totally agree with PeteZa - this is so fascinating... really interested in this and your progress - thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks so much for keeping us updated! It helps others know that there are more options.

Please continue to stop by for a visit ;)

Hi Revive,

I just started BVT and am a little over a week in. My biggest concern and question still revolves around the evidence and effectiveness concerning treatment for Bartonellosis, it's related cousins, BLO, Brucellosis, and even Mycoplasmas. According to the scientific and medical literature that I have seen, its best antimocrobial properties pertain to fungal organisms, apicomplexans, gram positive bacteria, and very possibly cell wall deficient forms (l-form micro-organisms, including borrelia).

Have you or anyone else you know of had most of their problems with Bartonella (or other gram negative bacteria), and found that BVT was able to seriously reduce or eliminate it (as proven by lab work or clinical experience)?

Good question tooty...bump...i dont think research has been done...gonna get a microscope. ..

Revive, do you know if their healing stories are posted somewhere you could link to? That might be very helpful.

Trav I will have to look into it, these are closed groups on Facebook, anybody can join them but not suppose to copy from them.

Tooty, I know of 2 people who had those and the one has been completely symptom free for 3 yrs and the other one is yrs into the protocol and has totally regained her life, she was having seizures and was bed ridden. Activate your email here and we can talk or email me, please.

I know of another that has been completely healed since 2006 with BVT.

Thanks Revive, I appreciate the feedback. I am considering setting up my email. But, right now I have hit some turbulence and don't feel well enough to give an update or really engage in conversation. In short, I think I may have hit a herx. Everything hurts, and it feels like I am coming down with strep throat without the sore throat and without a fever.... my body is too weak to produce one. I have been walking around and pacing much of the day because it hurts too much to sit with all this inflammation. My groin and lower back feel the worst. (Today was a sting day. It was two stings, and I have already returned to the original protocol of every other day stings. So, I don't think I am overdoing it).

So, I stand slightly corrected on the definition of a herx... (at least I hope it's a herx)

Herx type #2: In addition to overwhelming tiredness, the body is buffeted with aches, pains, and inflammation....and a fever if strong enough to produce one. I'm a veteran lyme patient, this should have sunk in by now. Except that I have had bad experiences before when the herx was more than just overwhelming tiredness and fatigue. It's very hard to tell what is happening sometimes.....

In my last post I forgot to list bee venom's activity against biofilm. So, I hope I'm not releasing things like previous "herxes," because I need to have enough artillery to kill whatever is coming out....or I'm toast. But this doesn't quite feel like those experiences. I believe tomorrow will be a better day.

Sorry, this was a reply and somewhat an update (as much as I could muster). But, the update should technically be on my thread. I didn't mean to hijack your thread, Revive. I will try to keep any more updates on my thread. Just feeling so crappy.

Pirouette...there may be an apitherapist in your area...mine is relitively affordable ...when she is gone i order bees from ferris apirary or california. .until i fill my top bar hive and plant flowers. ...and here i am scard of iv abx...arent you on vanco.?..i just got port and i may slow down on bees so it can heal up proper...toots i just did my first iv curcumin and i swear inflammation stopped for 3 whole days.....revive i need to get back on fb but i have been avoiding certain peoples..yaddameen .i am following amber rose protocal until recent port...i dont know if it was lomatium, Houttunyia or phentanyl that gave me some crazy itching beyond the normal after sting itch....some glutithione and high dose c seemed to help... i had worked to 12 full 2x a week and just did 3x this week..my gland are swollen off and on...tooty i wonder about killers on board while stinging too so i have been doing smilax and Andrographis decoction mornings of stings...that green propolis will knock out any throat stuff if you can, its russian penicillan...the ladies i am learning from went to the hoshindo school here and sting on accupuncture meridians ...its intense...

Excellent bluelyme - I didn't know what to look for and there it was. Yes, I just started vanco and so far, I feel immediate relief on my infusion days, as far as my GI goes... but still experiencing hip joint pain and large muscle pain so I'm looking for my next move for lyme tx.
