"I was diagnosed with Relapsing- Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in February 2009. I had great difficulty walking, no balance, and complete numbness in my hands and feet. I was told by my neurologist that I was very lucky to be diagnosed now, and not 10 years earlier. Now, as he put it ‘We have so many wonderful medications that will help to slow down the progression of the disease by up to a third, if you’re lucky”. Basically, I was told that at 27 I would be getting two-thirds worse every year for the rest of my life. There is no cure, I was told. I had no interest in finding myself in a wheelchair by the time I was 40.

With the love and support of my husband, I began to read every book I could get my hands on concerning alternative therapies for M.S. One book in particular, Reversing Multiple Sclerosis by Celeste Pepe, spoke in detail about her success with apitherapy, and bee venom therapy in particular. I was skeptical, but my husband encouraged me to look into BVT (bee venom therapy). By luck, I saw an advertisement for Bee Well Therapy in Natural Awakenings magazine a few days later. Still skeptical, I phoned Alan Lorenzo to get some more information. From the beginning, Alan was professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He did not try to convince me of the therapy or push me to try it. He simply answered my questions and offered to send me several articles concerning BVT and M.S. Finally, I decided to try BVT instead of the immunity suppressing chemotherapy drugs that my neurologist wanted me to take, as they were nothing but palliative and offered me no hope of remission or cure.

A week or so later, Alan was at my door with his duffel bag of bees and bee related instruments. He trained my husband and me on proper stinging techniques, proper care of the bees, and proper handling of the insects as well. Once he was done with the session, which lasted about three hours, we felt quite ready to continue this path to healing on our own. Alan and I stayed in constant contact over the next several weeks. He checked in on me regularly and was always willing to answer any questions or concerns I had. I must have called him a hundred times during those weeks, and he always had time for me. After a few months, Alan came to my home a second time to train us in more advanced stinging techniques. My husband and I are still using those techniques today. Now, with the help of BVT and other related hormone therapies, I am back to my old self. Not only can I walk, but I am back to jogging daily. I can go to yoga again because my balance is back, and I only occasionally have numbness in my feet. Bee Venom Therapy has helped give me my life back. More importantly, it has given me hope that my neurologist, with all his modern drugs, never could. If you have been newly diagnosed with M.S. or the drugs you are taking are not helping you, the best thing you could ever do is try BVT. It hurts at first, but what you gain in the end is immeasurable. I highly recommend Alan Lorenzo and Bee Well Therapy for your apitherapy needs."

“I was diagnosed with chronic progressive MS in March of 2007, and I was told by my neurologist that within 7 months I would be in a wheelchair.  According to the doctors, with the type of MS that I have, there is no medication that would help me.  I was devastated and scared to death of what the future might hold.  My condition deteriorated rapidly.  By May of ’07, I was having difficulty walking and writing my name along with a topical numbness in my hands and feet and parts of my back, spine, and neck.  I went through the summer like this.  Finally, the initial shock and fear wore off, and I was able to act.  I was determined that I would not accept what the doctors told me was my fate.  I began to do a lot of research on MS and on alternative therapies.  I eventually came across Alan’s website for Bee Venom Therapy and my instinct told me this was the right thing for me to do.  I just knew this would work.  I contacted Alan in October, and we set up our initial meeting in November.  I followed his instructions exactly, and by February of 2008, I was up to 50 stings each session, doing 2 sessions a week.  Alan educated and encouraged me, as it has been a long and painful road, but given my progress, I would not do anything differently.  I cannot say enough positive things about Alan in regards to his professionalism, his knowledge, and his follow-up care. I still currently do BVT, and will continue to do so as every month it seems like I experience something new.  For example, heat sensations in different parts of my body that were previously numb from my MS.  If it wasn’t for Alan, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and for that I am beyond grateful.  If I could offer one piece of advice, it is to be persistent and continue with BVT.  I am proof that it works.”

"Alan Lorenzo of Bee Well Therapy, Inc., got us up to speed with BVT training for M.S. quickly, efficiently, and all for a minimum investment. My wife, Theresa, was able to feel significant relief after a few sessions."

" Bee Well Therapy has given me gradual relief from my arthritis pain over time. Initial relief came in the first six weeks, and after six months, pain has totally disappeared from my lower back, while still improving in other areas."

" With Alan's knowledge and professionalism, it made bee stinging easier and tolerable. His thoughtfulness and follow-up was very comforting during my training for BVT to treat Lyme Disease."

"In just a few weeks, bee venom therapy has helped relieve the arthritis in my knees so I can climb down stairs easier. It also improved intestinal function by stinging along an appendicitis surgery scar where nerves were damaged."

"More than 20 years ago, I was involved in a serious car accident and broke my neck, back, femur and pelvis. I had a spinal fusion at L1 and L2 resulting in paralysis and extreme nerve sensitivity on my entire back. Anything warm seemed very hot and anything cool seemed painfully cold. After only ONE stinging session I no longer feel that sensitivity. I am currently working towards improving mobility and have noticed results. I feel little to no pain at all since I started my treatments with BVT. My boyfriend was away for five weeks and when he returned he noticed that my balance and walking had improved. I am excited to see what the future holds. “

“Since I was 18 I have experienced severe migraines. I had cat scans and an MRI and still the doctors had no answers. I lived on Excedrin for years. I tried the BVT twice and to my surprise I have not had one since and haven’t taken anything at all.”

"About 8 years ago, I experienced an attack of Bell's Palsy and recovered, but have had the lasting side effect of severe pain on the right side of my neck going up behind my right ear. This pain had occurred in the form of attacks on a weekly basis for the last 8 years. The pain is not constant, but when it hit, it felt like a clamp squeezing my neck, and that someone hit me with a 2x4 at the same time.

Medically, there is not a good safe treatment for Bell's Palsy. After reading about the neural success of bee venom therapy, I decided to give it a try. Bee Well Therapy came up in my research, and after talking with Alan Lorenzo, I felt confident that he knew what he was talking about. With his guidance, I have completed two months of treatment. I can't tell, yet, what the long term effects will be, but I can say that I have not had an attack since I started, and my family tells me they can see a difference in my right eye, which would droop during the weekly attacks, and when I was under stress. It was very reassuring when he did his follow-up calls to check on me. I felt that at any time I needed to discuss the treatment that he was there, and his answers were clear. I thank him for his help and concern for my predicament."

"I had chronic shoulder tendinitis with internal scarring that was affecting my league softball play, and my business installing HVAC systems. My team was scheduled to compete in the summer nationals in 2007, in Salem, Virginia, and in just 5 weeks, after one training session with Bee Well Therapy, I successfully treated myself with BVT to restore complete arm and shoulder movement without pain in time for the championship softball series."

"A little over a year after having ACL reconstructive surgery on my knee, I developed pain along the front side of my knee along the incision site.  By having a patellar tendon graft to repair my ACL, the tendon developed scar tissue that became painful when I would increase the stress on my knee by activities such as running, jumping, or weight training.  Bee venom therapy helped to soften and break up the scar tissue that was causing my pain, and alleviate the pain I had during activities a great deal.  From dealing with the pain on a daily basis before bee venom therapy, I now rarely experience pain, and if I do have some pain because of overuse, for instance, it is less intense, and goes away much faster than it previously had.  Previously, my pain would last several days after an activity, and now thanks to bee venom therapy, if any pain does arise, it is gone before the next day."

"I was diagnosed with MS about 20 years ago, but symptoms really didn't begin to affect me until 2006 when I got numbing, tingling, and burning sensations in my legs and feet. Alan Lorenzo of Bee Well Therapy began to treat me with BVT, and after 3 months, I started to feel my symptoms subsiding. Around that time, I also commenced with injections of vitamin B1 and liver extract administered by a doctor, similar to Dr. Klenner's protocol for MS, and within two weeks all my nerve sensations disappeared and have stayed away."

"In May of 2006. I contacted Alan Lorenzo of Bee Well Therapy. I had decided, after much thinking and rethinking bee venom therapy, to give it a try. Alan came to my house with a jar of bees. To make a long matter short, he gave a test sting. It hurt but not near as much as my imagination worked it up to be. I thought, I can do this.

Alan came once a week to sting me, in order to build up my immunity to bee venom. Over time the stings grew from 5 a session, to up to 30.

Almost immediately. He showed me how to sting myself and how to purchase bees. I stung myself every few days between his visits.

I suffer from a Neuropathy that affects my hip and legs. I was struck by it in 2000 and have been fortunate that the damage was relatively local. The worst part was the complete exhaustion and exercise intolerance that comes with these kind of diseases.

My hope was to gain strength in my legs so that I could be more active without the exhaustion that accompanies it. I gained a tremendous energy boost or should I say, stamina boost after just a few sessions. Since then, my daily activity has increased to almost as much as I had before onset of the disease. My legs are stronger and I no longer feel that I am too exhausted for words to tell. I may never get much more out of the wasted muscles in my gastrox but bee venom therapy has strengthened what I do have, allowing me to walk farther and to stay on my feet for longer intervals. I now do a daily strengthening exercise on my calf muscles.

It might be possible to get even more out of those muscles, after all. Before I started bee venom therapy I felt I was slowly loosing ground. Now, six months later, it is obvious to my family, and those around me, I am gaining ground."
