But, thanks to fire ant venom, there maybe a new treatment on the horizon.

I know bee stings help with arthritis so does not surprise me. “Apitherapy,” or bee venom therapy, for arthritis goes way back in
time. There are reports that it was used in ancient Egypt and China.
Hippocrates (460-377 BC) is purported to have written about bee stings
for painful joints.
Doctors in this country used bee venom therapy to treat arthritis
during the first part of the 20th century. Hospital pharmacies even
stocked venom for injections. After World War II, this approach fell out
of favor because it was considered unscientific. 4951

I wonder if someone allergic to bee venom would be able to use the fire ant venom therapy for Psoriatic arthritis.  My DH has Psoriatic arthritis and while the Humira shots are helpful for the swelling and pain, he does not like taking any medicines long term due to the side effects.  The steroid ointments he uses on his psoriasis are very oily and tend to stain clothing.  Or maybe the VA just needs to update their list of approved meds for these issues. 4951

Bee stings have also been used as an alternative therapy for MS. I always say, for the most part, nature has its own remedies (with "survival of the fittest" actually being one of them, unfortunately). 4951

Of course s/he does! Do you have ANY idea how much the pharmaceutical companies pay those doctors, all in hopes that they will promote "their" drug. Do you want to guess who pays for the interns that work for the neurologists? 4951

Of course she does!

Well one would think the P Companies would then investigate using Bee Venom, and, oh wait, they did.They found no discernible affect on MS with it.I wish it did work, and quite a few MS patients have tried it.But other than maybe an initial slight feel better, that lasted from hours to days at the most in a small number, no help.Except the odd one out, so who knows.There is a lot they do not know about MS. 4951
