Scientific research
In a controlled study from Allegheny University of the Health Sciences in Philadelphia, bee venom was found to have no positive effects at any dosage in mice with EAE, the animal model for multiple sclerosis. Additionally many of the animals expressed worse symptoms from the placebo groups. [1]
Phase I of a study at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC, funded by the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America (MSAA) was geared towards safety in administering bee venom treatments to humans with multiple sclerosis. [2]
[edit]
Safety and risks
Before considering any kind of bee venom treatment, you should consult your doctor. Dosage and many other factors of bee venom can range from extreme pain to even death.

What is your advice to people with MS who are interested in bee venom therapy?
I would encourage them to be followed by their physician or their neurologist and use the appropriate standard treatments, which are basically interferon and other preparations that influence the immune system, such as steroids and immunosuppressive drugs. I would not recommend this form of therapy until we accumulate more data.
