Bee venom has potential use in the medical field. Some interest has been expressed in introducing a pure bee venom product on the American market to be used in two ways. One use would be for the treatment of rheumatoid artheritis and another use would be for the desensitivation of hypersensitive individuals. The idea of using bee venom for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is centuries old, and is based on the fact that beekeepers are seldom afffected with the disease. Bee venom therapy has been practiced in Europe and in recent years the United States by twpo physicians, Dr. Beck an Dr. Broadman. Components of bee venom have been reviewed and summarized in papers by at least four scientists from 1955 to 1972. Bee venom is quite complicated chemically. It contains several biochemical or pharmacologically active substances including at the very least the following: histamine, dopamine, melittin, apamin, peptide, minimine, and the enzymes phospholipase A, and hyaluronidase. Collected bee venom is as strong as live bee stings.
Bee venom has been helpful in the treatment of many of the following diseases: High Blood Pressure, Vericose Veins, Raynauds Disease, Arthritis, Brusitis, Fibrmyalgia, Tennis Elbow, Sciatica, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons, Hyper-thyroidism, Immune Disorders, Macular Degeneration, Glacoma and many cancers.
