Help! I'm really new to forums and need some help. I've started having bee sting therapy and want to know if it's right or wrong.

Any views woukd be appreciated.

Those are good things to read. Can you help us to think about this with you by telling us how you came to decide to do this and what evidence you weighed? Ken

My advice is to save your $$. That is only my personal view, but health fraud comes to mind.

My Dad is a beekeeper and loves his bees. As a serious beekeeper he has truly vicious bees who would go for anyone - I can vouch for this.

People with MS do come to him and ask, but he has never allowed anyone to be stung intentionally. A bee always dies after it has stung. This is really not necessary for a treatment which has no proven effect.
