See What Will Now Be Used To Cure Hiv

Scientists have discovered that apart from
pollinating crops, producing honey, beeswax ,
propolis, pollen and royal jelly, Bees could
also be the solution to the highly dreaded HIV
and cancer.
A team of scientists at the Washington
University School of Medicine in the US, used
nanoparticles carrying a toxin found in Bee
venom to destroy HIV without harming nearby
body cells, successfully.
According to Agency Report, the findings were
contained in the current issue of Antiviral
Therapy.
Explaining the modus operandi, Dr. Samuel A.
Wickline, one of the researchers said; “Bee
Venom contains a potent toxin called melittin
that can poke holes in the protective envelope
that surrounds HIV and other viruses. It has
even shown melittin-loaded nanoparticles to
be effective in killing tumor cells.”
Speaking with Vanguard in Ibadan recently, Mr.
Ayodele Salako, a Beekeeper, corroborated the
assertion of the researchers. “The Bee sting is
very medicinal. A bee keeper who is stung by a
bee every now and then, will not complain of
any ailment because the bees have taken those
things away from you by enhancing your
immunity. That is one of the best works of bee
venom.”
He demonstrated this by administering bee
venom therapy on some people with pains in
various parts of the body like the waist, hands
and knees. All recipients said the pains stopped
after a few minutes.
“Because the bee venom toxin has been
engineered not to attack healthy cells, a
vaginal gel loaded with bee venom particles,
could be ideal for couples where one partner
has HIV and they want to have a baby,” the
report said, adding; “It’s also theoretically
possible that intravenous injections of the
nanoparticles would be able to clear HIV from
the blood stream, a virtual miracle for those
who have tested positive.”
