Apitherapy is the use of bee products to help abate the symptoms of disease; in many cases cure it. We do not process our bee products in any way that will diminish their effectiveness.
First, we must always remember that our beehive products are not ours. They belong to our honeybees, who use it nourish, maintain and protect themselves.
Second, we must always remember that there are seasons in the year where honey, beeswax, propolis, royal jelly, pollen and bee venom are in abundance; there are seasons when these are just enough, sometimes not enough, for our honeybees.
The art of beekeeping is knowing when there is a surplus and knowing how to harvest the surplus.
Honey. There is an abundance of blooms during summer. Sometimes summer comes early; sometimes it comes late. We make sure to harvest honey only when there is a superabundance of it in our beehives. We make sure to leave some of it to tide our bees over the off season. Once harvested, we do not heat or filter it. We do not even touch it. It stays “Virgin”. We seal it in food grade bottles, making sure not to let moisture in, which would spoil it.
We trap pollen only during the pollen season; and, only for a limited time the day after a good rain. We dry it just enough so it will keep, making sure that we do not overheat it. Then, we vacuum pack it in sealed containers.
We freeze royal jelly immediately upon harvest. Frozen, it is stable for about two to three years. After this time, it begins to lose its goodness. Note that royal jelly cannot spoil. But, we freeze it so it will retain its freshness. For long term storage, it is best frozen. For immediate use, say 1 month, it can be kept in your refrigerator’s chiller.
We infuse and macerate propolis in organic coconut brandy for about a year to extract its beneficial ingredients. Only after this time do we decant, filter and bottle it. Rather than go through the expensive process of pulverizing ang tabletizing or capsulizing it, we prefer to use this time honoured tradition. We have discovered that this is the best way to extract the essential ingredients and beneficial effects of bee propolis.

| Ilog Maria Bee Venom (Sting) Therapy BVT |
|
Sister Soledad Perpinan suffered from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis which put her in a wheelchair three months after she started feeling its symptoms. These were pains in her joints and extremities that were progressive and debilitating. I remember that it took her about 40 minutes just to go to the bathroom. She had been undergoing BVT in Manhattan and she managed to find me. Would I agree to give her BVT if she taught me?
The BVT sessions were prolonged and we had to resort to giving her bee in bottles that would live for a few days. Shortly thereafter, she purchased two bee colonies. She eventually got her girls to do BVT on her.
After about nine months, she was well. She had only a slight stiffness in her joints.
This got us initiated into BVT.
After some years, we befriended the Chief of Police of Tagaytay, (now) Col. Sheldon “Jack” Jacaban. He noticed that the most abused reason for absences was that his officers were suffering from gout. This was especially acute during the cold seasons.
Jack began sending his officers, one by one, to us for BVT. After the first success story, all of Tagaytay’s finest suffering from gout, including their relatives and friends, came for BVT. Then the Silang police force followed.
I got a call sometime afterwards from Rommel Montano, and said his ister had multiple sclerosis. I said that they would have to convince themselves that BVT worked for MS and pointed them to Pat Wagner’s, “The Bee Lady’s” website. He was able to get a video and a manual from her.
Their whole family visited us and we were introduced to Estrella “Star” Montano, who had had MS for about four or five years, had tried steroids and more expensive “medicines” but did not improve. We promptly put star on a supplementary diet of bee products and gave her a skin test for any allergic reaction to bee venom. She had none.
Star had difficulty walking and was more comfortable in a wheelchair. She could not grasp a spoon to feed herself. She was incontinent and was in adult diapers.
After some months, she was able to feed herself and lost the wheelchair.
HOW TO ARRANGE FOR A BEE VENOM THERAPY SESSION WITH US:
- Stop taking pain relievers and tablets for uric acid.
- Stop eating the foods that trigger your gout. You know what they are. Stop eating beans, peanuts, tomato seeds, eggplant, sardines, soy based foods, soy sauce, canned goods, preserved foods, foods with white flour, white rice and white sugar. Stop eating oily foods. Stop eating meat and pork. Slow down on poultry.
- Take a double dose of propolis and honey cider vinegar daily. This will strengthen your immune system and start the process of detoxification. This will also make your body’s reaction to bee stings favourable.
- Take a dose of Vitamin C daily, this will also build up your immune system and start your natural secretion of cortisone.
- Surf all the websites dealing with: bee venom therapy, apitherapy and their relation to arthritis and gout. Convince yourself that it works. It is not our role to convince people that BVT works, in fact BVT has been used successfully in many other countries for a long time. This is your role.
- Call us to tell us about yourself and your condition. You may ask us for an appointment.
- We have found that, in cases of gout, it is best to wait until you have a full blown gout attack. When your joint/s are fully swollen and you cannot walk, make an appointment. This ensures less repeat visits.
- In other cases, please stop taking steroids. These damage your immune system irreparably.
