RTK.NET Mail 135350 Mar 22 22:53:03 1996 I have never heard of bee sting therapy being used to treat PD, but have heard of it being used to treat multiple sclerosis. I think it falls somewhere between "very experimental" and "potentially harmful and very likely worthless 'cures'". I don't really know how the therapy is supposed to work, but since most MS treatments are trying to interferre with the attack on myelin by the autoimmune system, it would surprise me if any systematic (as opposed to symptomatic) treatment for MS would be likely to work for PD. Perhaps I am wrong. You could find people who've used the treatment and therefore might know who you could contact to learn more on the alt.support.mult-sclerosis newsgroup or via email by subscribing to mslist-l through [log in to unmask] The listserv archives likely contain somewhat full discussions of bee sting therapy.
