MS was brought up in the PMS thread, and I thought it might deserve it's own.

My Uncle has MS. When it hit him, my Mom made the rounds in the family to let everyone know, and to see if anyone had any suggestions.

I remembered at the time having seen many years before a show on alternative treatments. It was on a show like "20/20", so I thought it must at least have some validity. They usually check stuff out so that they can de-bunk myth (and not get caught with their pants down). In any case, it showed a Doctor in Maryland (If I remember correctly, the Doc would have been somewhere in the Frederick area) who used bee stings as a method of helping MS patients with their symptoms. There was one documented case of a woman who had been seen by many many Physycians to that time, who was wheelshair ridden, and who could no longer speak. However, after bee sting therapy, she was walking with a cane, and very talkative for the interview with the newscasters. Again, it has been a looooong time since I saw the show, but after a really quick internet search, I found this: http://www.dancingbeeacres.com/beevenom.html

This is a snippet from that page: "Charles Mraz, a well know beekeeper and Apitherapist has been treating various ailments and disease using bee sting therapy for the past 60 years (Before his death in 1999). In the past decade he had also treated patients with multiple sclerosis. A patient named Pat Wagner was diagnosed in 1970 with multiple sclerosis. Throughout the years she tried different kinds of medications and was hospitalized several times. In February of 1992, she was informed by her doctor that the medications were no longer effective in improving her condition. She had no hope in ever getting out of a wheelchair. Soon after, as a last resort she started using bee sting therapy and IT WORKED!

Now she treats other MS patients with bee stings in her home.

We know from reports that more than 3000 MS patients have partly or fully recovered after receiving bee venom therapy."

This may be the very woman I saw interviewed on the 20/20 type show back in the mid nineties. I have not had enough time to actually go over this site in it's entirety, I apologize. But maybe just maybe it will contain something that will help! :D

As a sufferer of many ailments for which the medical community also throws up it's hands and leaves us to our own, I sympathise. I deal with CFID's and PMS in spades. I swear by alternative approaches, as the general medical community has been of little to no help. It can't hurt to look, and might even be the avenue you're looking for.
