Q. Within a week of having a reaction to a bee sting (the
skin was hot, red, swollen and blistered), the tremors in my right hand
and jaw disappeared. I’d had them for three years and had just gotten a
referral to see a neurologist.
My mother and her
mother had Parkinson’s disease, so I suspect that is where I was headed,
though I hadn’t been officially diagnosed. Have you heard of this
before?
A. There may be scientific
support for your response to bee venom. We were somewhat surprised to
discover research demonstrating that bee-venom injections have benefit
against Parkinson’s disease (Parkinsonism and Related Disorders,
September 2012).
The Michael J. Fox Foundation funded a study of
bee-venom therapy in a mouse model of Parkinson’s. The results were
positive. French researchers are recruiting subjects for a clinical
trial (MIREILLE) to assess the value of bee venom in the treatment of
Parkinson’s disease.

Maybe that is why providence brought me another bee swarm yesterday??!!
