Her MS is the type that is premanent, and progressive. As a Mid 30's mother with 2 young kids she has tried just about everything out there and no help. I hope you find some information that will help you friend and that the treatment works for them.

My friend , who is teaching me, uses sting therapy to fight his cancer. to make a long story short, he was diagnosed 6 years ago with melanoma. He had operations, etc. He thought the cancer had been cured, but unfortunately, 3 years ago this past December, his doctor discovered a grapefruit sized lump under his arm. Quite by accident he was stung on his shoulder which was giving him pain due to the lump. His pain disappeared for about six hours. He decided to try stinging himself on the lump. (By the way, his doctor advised him to "get his papers in order" because he had less than 2 months to live.) He continued to use sting therapy and went back to his doctor. No one, not even his wife knew what he was doing. To his doctor's surprise, the lump had decreased in size. Six months later he returned to his doctor and was told his lump had disappeared. Two weeks ago he went in for a check-up as was told that he was a walking miracle. He has been cancer-free for almost 3 years. His doctor told him to continue doing what ever he was doing. His daughter had carple-tunnel syndrome and used sting therapy to cure it. My friend stings himself 12 times a week in his lymph nodes. Pretty amazing what nature can do. If it works on cancer, and it seems to have worked on my friend, I don't see why it wouldn't work on MS. It certainly is worth a try.
