BEIJING, April 6 (Xinhuanet) -- A British woman who was confined to her bed and unable to move due to multiple sclerosis (MS) says bee stings helped her walk again, media reports said Tuesday.
Sami Chugg, a 45-year-old charity worker from Bristol, was diagnosed in 1998 with MS, an incurable disease that stops the body's nerve cells communicating. Soon she could no longer move around and was permanently bed-ridden.
However, she is now back on her feet, after trying a treatment called Bee Venom Therapy.
The treatment involves holding a bee in tweezers and stinging an area of skin. According to experts, the venom eases the pain of MS symptoms while stimulating the body to fight back.
Sami says she was stung around 1,500 in eighteen months and now it has helped her regained mobility.
