Bee an excellent doctor?

Comment on "Ouch bee therapy causes a real buzz" (China Daily, Sept 14)

I would like to encourage people to believe in bee sting therapy. In 1980, my arthritic hands were saved by this therapy. At that time, it was practiced in Canada by - as far as I know - only one doctor and his three sons and one daughter. The 80-year-old doctor, who used to swim two hours a day throughout the year, had developed a technique to extract the venom from bees and re-inject it in his patients with tiny syringes.
