Apitherapy in Indonesia. Perhaps a very promising MS treatment, such as The Bee Lady promotes? A National Geographic episode of bee sting therapy heats up the debate as to whether bees have souls or not. Just don't try to steal a hive. Bzzzzzzzz...

  • It seems likely that apitherapy could be useful for certain types of pain management, especially for dealing with something like arthritis. I knew some people who kept bees on a few acres by the Rio Grande, and they literally stung themselves for any kind of ailment: pain, allergies, colds, etc. I always thought they were going overboard, but maybe they just figured they were going to get stung anyway, they may as well try to find a use for it. This FPP is just a thinly veiled plea for Beeswacky to return, isn't it?
  • You busted me, Nick. All this talk of "fading" MoFi has reminded me of our long-lost friend. Hath no fear, 'twas the 'wacky still here...
  • If the bee stings don't work, you could always try those sticky foot patches. According to the infomercials I've seen, the foot patches cure EVERYTHING. (Put the foot patches on the bees and you're set for life!)
  • That Bee Lady sure is something- I thought she looked familiar until I realized that hey!- I wrote the music for that Nat'l Geo segment. Not that I'm that proud of it- I had to write oodles of wallpaper music for those guys when I did that series but that's de rigeur these days at NG- all their scores end up sounding the same. The good news is the forthcoming royalty check though and since you guys watched it on youtube, you owe me a dollar each. Email me for my address. Thanks!
  • i spent yr dollar on mittns sry
  • For the record, I would like to state that kamus forced me to post that youtube link of the NG segment. *coughs up a spare quarter*
  • I'll be sending a bill for .75. TUM, just send the mittns. Thank you for cooperating- we wouldn't want to to get the collection agency involved, would we?
