but when she told her husband she wanted
to get stung by bees he thought the idea
was ridiculous she’s with naturally is

did not understand bees but mr. Chen
completely changed his mind when he saw

increased her headache disappeared I was
so surprised I decided to dive into this
mysterious treatment and collect all the
information that I could mr. Chen vowed
to devote his life to bringing bee sting
therapy to others after six months of B

dramatic change she insists the therapy
has relieved her multiple sclerosis and

likely say her illness is in remission

helped her walk again it will take years
of study before we’ll know whether bee
stings can relieve arthritis or multiple
sclerosis or even the common cold
but whether show wrongs recovery is in
her head or her hands and feet for the
first time in more than a year she feels
she can resume living a therapy most of

face the future with renewed hope
