I have to wonder why some doctors thought it would be a good idea to give bee sting venom to women who had difficulty getting pregnant. Regardless, the results are remarkable. The pregnancy rate climbed from zero to 57% (4 in 7). This deserves more study. Now.
Honey is so common and it offers many health benefits - and it tastes good. Maybe we should take a serious look at the benefits and not be turned off because it's so "old fashioned" and "simple".
