'I was stung by 1,500 bees and I feel great': MS sufferer's pioneering therapy
Content: Sadly bees are killed by stinging, so you certainly only want to do this for a very good cause. But the relief it gave me was tremendous.' Researchers claim 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 alternative treatment remains unproven by evidence-based medicine but it has been used to treat other wasting diseases and arthritis. The therapy begins gradually as the body needs to be desensitised to the stings, but eventually multiple bees are used at one time and are left in the skin for up to 20 minutes. Miss Chugg, who was treated twice a week, said: ' There are three locations we used for the stings. 'Above the shoulders, the middle back, and then the lumbar area. It's all centred around your spine. It's changed my life and my approach to life.'
