BEES ARE A GIFT FROM GOD 
A advantage that March 30 was declared World Apitherapy Day we wonder why Mr. Charles said Mraz, King of the Bee Venom therapy in the U.S., the bees are a gift from God? Well we know that God is perfect and certainly the bees are a reflection of Him in your organization as a society, as a colony with an established hierarchy that begins with the queen, workers and drones, with specific functions to perform, which they assume to fullness as a single body. For nature and life on the planet play an important role in ecological balance through pollination of flowers of fruit, vegetables and cereals. Thus argues that: "If bee disappeared off the face of the earth, the man would only 4 years of life: not bees, no pollination ".
Talk about their products, some known as honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis, some not well known to the public regarding their chemical composition and properties as is the Apilarnil, apitoxin and beeswax, bee is also the same used in Apitherapy. All are unique and amazing, for example pollen is the protein source of the hive and is itself a complete protein with 22 amino acids plus vitamins and minerals, great value for health beekeeper removes some of the pollen to the colony to feed humans and animals; Propolis is a resinous substance, reddish brown or greenish yellow produced by bees from plant resins from trees, with exceptional healing properties because it is a natural antibiotic, bactericidal, bacteriostatic, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, have been identified in propolis more than 168 different substances, and we could say is the most medicinal of the hive.
very unknown
For use in our country, I would emphasize the use of apitoxin or bee venom and other bee products as aids to prevent, treat and cure health conditions like multiple sclerosis and lateral, rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, spondylitis, back pain, fibromyalgia, neuritis, disc herniations , sciatica, etc.. Immune system diseases, including AIDS benefit apitoxina application.
I note, in this project and recognize World Apitherapy Day to 4 leading figures who have dedicated their professional life in the United States at different times , to disseminate and implement the therapy or apitoxin Bee venom therapy, they are Dr. Bodog Beck, Charles Mraz, Pat Wagner and Dr. Amber Rose.
The Dr. Bodog Beck was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1871 and died in Kingston, New York, in 1942. Was for many years on the staff of St. Mark's Hospital. The practiced in his office that was his greatest passion in medicine, bee venom therapy, his office was at 116 East 58 th Street in New York City. Dr. Beck summed their research and experience with apitoxin in his book, "Bee Venom Therapy: Bee Venom, Its Nature and Its Effect on Rheumatoid arthritic and Conditions" , by Bodog F. Beck, MD (New York / London: D. Appleton-Century Company Inc, 1935), reprinted in 1981. ( therapy Venero Bee: The Bee Venom, Its Nature and its impact on Arthritis and Rheumatic Conditions ) , although more than 70 years ago that was written is still day the best treatise on the subject, apitherapists we know as the Bible of Poison Bee, and is the title of the reprint of it.
In Charles Mraz, a beekeeper have a prominent American, who since 1930 was as an evangelist to promote the therapeutic use of bee stings, work he held for 60 years. Born on July 26, 1905 in Woodside New York, and dies September 13, 1999, in Middlebury, Vermont, where he established Champlain Valley Apiaries ( eventually became the longer apiary of New England, had 1000 hives), a firm in which be maintained for more than 60 years, was 94 when he died. was recognized in 1992 by The American Beekeeping Federation (American Federation of Beekeepers') as one of the 5 most prominent beekeepers in the country, for advances in commercial beekeeping. Charlie also been recognized in the United States as a pioneer in Bee Venom Therapy, the use of bee stings to treat various health disorders, particularly autoimmune diseases. In addition start clinical research scientists Sloan-Kettering Institute and the Walter Reed Army Institute, he established standards of purity of dry bee venom for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and was the supplier of venom to pharmaceutical companies around the world. A founding member of The American Apitherapy Society (American Apitherapy Society) and its director, Charlie won the gratitude of thousands of people who traveled to his home in Vermont to receive treatment with bee stings or to accompany conferences on the subject, I teach throughout the U.S. In his book published in 1994, Health and the Honey Bee (Health and the honeybee), the compiler their experiences with bee venom therapy.
found in Pat Wagner , called "The Lady of the Bees" an amazing story of recovery Multiple Sclerosis, but see their story through their words on their website:
"I MS was diagnosed in the Hospital of the University of Georgetown in the spring of 1970, the diagnosis was "relapse / relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, the medication I was given included ACTH, Prednisone, Dalmane, Halcion, Valium (40 mgs. / day), Seconal, Meprobamate, Dantrium, Dexedrine, Ditropan, Lomotil, Erythromycin, Keflex, Percocet, Bicodin, Tylenol # 3, Fiorinal, Morphine, Indomethacin, and Timoptic eye drops.
The course of my MS got worse during the spring of 1992 when I experienced the exacerbation of my symptoms worse in terms of durability and resistance to treatment, I showed high doses of Prednisone for over 6 weeks (80mgs per day ), but not helped me, gave me Prozac for depression.
in the medical record that read "Woman sleeping in wheelchair, bladder incontinence. In March 1992 I had surgery of the Bladder, but proved not to be of benefit. As for mobility, said record "as if his feet were nailed to the wheelchair. No movement since October 1991." After the March 24, 1992, I received my first bee sting intentional. In addition to being numb, my skeletal system felt like ice, twenty minutes after receiving a bite on my left knee, my leg does not feel the cold stone. This was a very positive sign to me that there was something this the bee sting. I received four more bites that afternoon and the next day and my body was not cold but my hands and feet. A remarkable increase in energy revealed in two days that allowed me to spend more time awake during the day. hearing in my right ear had been lost because of MS, but after two weeks had already recovered. My husband Ray was so encouraging for me, bought a beehive, and took charge of implementing the bee stings, and changed his name to Ray Picador.
Although the treatment has not been a walk, its effects have made me a new person. "In their evaluations my neurologist had said there was" no hope "in my next appointment, asked my name and I walked to him, however, did not recognize me, because I was expecting a cripple in a wheelchair! "
After marked improvement as appropriate jump to print media and television and has started receiving demand of hundreds of patients all EU MS who want to undergo therapy, making his home with the help of her husband in the house of healing in bee stings.
The fourth apitherapist My point is to Dr. AMBER ROSE, L.Ac., LCSW, who has been a healer all her life. After graduating with honors from the University of Chicago and Iowa, went to study acupuncture in the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland. His experience in psychotherapy alerted her of the value of acupuncture. While his knowledge in acupuncture led to the world of bee venom therapy.
But as Amber came into this world, in his book "Bee on Balance" she describes this moment: "The bees came into my life at the time that most needed them, as he was leaving an abusive marriage, and felt that life had no meaning for me, the story of Pat Wagner in the Washington Post me back to life, I received my miracle, giving to others was the answer to my prayers, the day after I took my car and will fly to Maryland to Pat's house, stood in the doorway of his house, but I was not a patient of MS, there were 30 or 40 people waiting to be chopped, I looked to apply the stings, and I wondered it is she biting on acupuncture points, yes and no, because without knowing it was stinging in nerve trigger points and meridians. I realized that I was waiting to be awakened apitherapist and I immediately offered to help in their work, they had a lot to learn.
addition to puncture the skin, bee venom therapy and acupuncture have something very special in common, each of which stimulate the body to wake up natural forms of healing. The idea is that the body wake up and heal itself. This is not a bandage to cover wounds, and pain and symptoms of a disease, it is a holistic approach: healing the whole person, body, mind and spirit. "
The story of one of the patients in Amber, exemplifies his vision of Apitherapy, listen: The story of Lonny Hill:
I had my first symptoms of multiple sclerosis in 1983. my left eye went blind, but doctors had no idea what was wrong. I entered the hospital. Never forget that day when I saw an old man weeping because he could not see, I remember thinking, "! I feel so lucky ... at least I have a good eye yet!" A month later the doctors told me I had MS. I had no idea what it was, several months later I started having problems with my right eye, to the extent that could only see shadows. On January 11, 1985, was ready to leave the community center when I realized I could not see anything at all. I was too scared to tell the receptionist who was blind, he believed in my heart that I could manage at home if they could open my e-mailbox. I found my way home, I sat in it alone and cry, I tuck a deep depression. of which could go as I was concerned to school for the blind The Lighthouse for the Blind, who taught me skills for independent living, they also taught me how to read Braille. Some time later I started having trouble walking. The doctors gave me steroids, which led me to develop diabetes. In June 1987, I had another crisis, could not take my table, had lost strength in my hands and arms also had lost all strength in my legs, I feared that would never be in feet again, 've had my ups and downs after that, I forced to enter and leave the hospital for years and finally went to a nursing home in August 1992, at the age of 36 years. In September 1993, I had my first six bee stings, I've been feeling better since then. It has been difficult for me the whole way. I have not had a bad day since then owe it all to Pat Wagner and Amber Rose. To get from the home where he lived used to need two nurses to help me to transfer from bed to wheelchair, and after the first bee stings weeks only need a nurse to help me, then started to roll myself chair, because I had more strength in my arms.
My arms and hands have become stronger now, I can feed myself for the first time in years, I can eat Chinese food, now ... with my own hands. I can hold my radio, the seasons change, this makes me feel good about myself, I do not like to rely on other people all the time, I like doing my own thing.
In March 20, 1994, I had my miracle, I started walk again, I've been using the parallel bars and the walker, this is really something! I'm outta here! They wonder how I did it and this is what I say, "A little bees, little of God, and a lot of me."
In conclusion I want to insert this story in the book of Amber Rose, entitled The discovery of the Beekeeper, "Apitherapy probably began with the first bee, but most of its official history in this country appears to have place in Middlebury, Vt.., a beekeeper named Charles Mraz. Mraz now 88, says he was involved with the bees since he was 14, all seniors used to tell me that bee stings are good for arthritis. And, of course, taking I 14, thought they were crazy. "
Then, when he was 28, was affected by rheumatic fever, which not only left the damaged heart, too much pain in her joints so severe that "I could not get out of a chair." After suffering for six months, " I remembered what the old guys had told me and decided to try, take bees and gave the same a couple of bee stings on both sides of a knee. On awakening the next morning, the pain had completely disappeared. And this was a shock to me. "
In subsequent years, Mraz has spoken of his medical treatment, and offered free to anyone who suffered from rheumatic diseases.
Then in 1986, a woman came to him with EM "I told him I knew nothing about MS. She said, "Well, you treated me for arthritis five years ago, and the symptoms were. When I returned I went to a doctor and he said he really should to MS. It was a Treatment for MS the last time I try and it worked. I want to try again. "
Three years later, he formed the American Apitherapy Society, along with Bradford Weeks, a general practitioner in North Hartford, Vt., Weeks says his role has been to "provide scientific documentation for the extraordinary work done by Charles Mraz. People come from all over the world to be treated by him, but he does not keep records. I took care of this. As he often says, is not a doctor, he's just a beekeeper. So I started to keep records for he and I could take my computer a database of 6,000 patients, 300 of them with MS. "
Their efforts, he says, have triggered special research interest in places like France and Korea, where he says Mraz and have flown to lecture, and where the main government scientific studies are underway. "But until recently there was no money from the government or corporations to perform controlled studies in this country, because there is potential for profits for corporations simply do not exist."
According to the Georgetown hospital Richert, the most intriguing aspect of bee venom is a compound in the same call apamin. The symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis, he says, are the result of inflammatory degeneration coating of the nerves that carry electrical signals to and from the brain. "When the sheath of the nerves degenerate, leading no electricity very well, so that nervous impulses are blocked. The Apamin not stop degeneration, but also improves the conductivity of the degenerated nerve. This property can very well, which works in cases of MS in that bee venom has proven to be successful. "
addition, Weeks said that the two extraordinary venom contains powerful anti-inflammatory agents, the melittin and adolapina, displayed in the fight against inflammation of the neural cortex itself.
Richert, however, said that bee venom is only the latest in a succession of natural substances that are promoted as a promising cure for MS in recent years, venom Cobra for a while, it was another substance.
Weeks says he is giving up to four patients treated with bee venom therapy none of which, he says, has shown improvement over time.
However, "more than a little evidence that the beekeepers as a group are very healthy and long life, and may have unusual immune systems. The bee stings may have something to do that. We have a grant application for funds to develop a large double-blind study on bee venom, where neither the patient nor the doctor know who is supplying the drug test and who placebo. That is the only way to prove effectiveness of treatments. "
30 March was chosen for the World Day of Apitherapy because it is the birthday of Dr. Philipp Terc, the first scientist who investigated the
medical applications of the venom of bees or apitoxina . He was born on March 30, 1844, in Praporiste, Bohemia, Czech Republic.
