Bee Stings “Help” Mother With MS

A mother-of-two who is battling against multiple sclerosis says she is being helped by 36 bee stings a week. Paula Cooke, 40, of Terrington St Clement, Norfolk, has had MS for 15 years and has no feeling from her waist to her toes. About three months ago she started a course of bee venom therapy and she believes it has been a success. But the MS Society has warned people that they must consult a doctor before considering this “unproven” therapy. Ms Cooke told BBC News that she now wants other people to know about this form of treatment for her condition. “I want people to have their own opportunity to decide whether to try this treatment for themselves,” she said.
