I’m not really seeing a huge difference from the bee venom injections. Why is that?

Although 95% of our clients see results and notice a decrease in their symptoms as soon as their very first injection, this isn’t always the case. 

Here are a few things you can do to figure out why this is happening. Below is a list of reasons why bee venom isn’t working for you: 

1. Liver damage

(undetectable or with positive test results) 

To test for liver damage, try eating 1 whole, lightly roasted beet. If your stool turns pink in color, this is a definitive sign that you may have extensive liver damage. 

However, don’t panic! Bee venom can boost your liver recovery pretty quick. To get things moving, we recommend incorporating “Filonov dry fasting” into your bee venom therapy routine until you are able to see great results from your venom treatments, without fasting. 


2. You are taking antihistamines frequently

and/or in high doses. 
Antihistamines can significantly impair the venoms ability to reset the immune system and decrease inflammation. 

We recommend weening off antihistamines before continuing your venom injections. 

However, if you are taking antihistamines at the recommended dose, only a few times a month or less, this is not the reason why your venom injections aren’t producing any results. 

3. You are taking steroids frequently

(prescription or otherwise). 

Steroids can inhibit your venom treatments less or ineffective if you are taking them frequently.

However, if you are taking steroids at the recommended dose, only a few times a month or less, this is not the reason why your venom injections aren’t producing any results. 

4. You are taking anti-inflammatory medication

before/after every injection. e.g ibuprofen

This can hinder your venom injections less effective and anti-inflammatory medications (prescription or over the counter) should only be taken when absolutely necessary. 

5. You don’t understand how bee venom works

& you are mistaking your detox reactions/herxheimer response as your illness getting worse. 

We recommend reviewing the following articles to help you understand what a normal response to venom looks/feels like and what you can expect as you begin to heal: 

 

6. You have high testosterone levels. 

High levels of testosterone can lessen or inhibit the healing effects of bee venom. 

We recommend getting your hormone levels checked as soon as possible with your regular doctor. Additionally, you can also purchase hormone tests online and go to an outpatient lab as a walk in. 

Sometimes estrogen/progesterone creams that you can purchase online and/or natural supplements can fix the problem. 

Otherwise, you’ll need to work with your doctor to get your hormone back to optimal functioning levels. 

 

7. You have low estrogen levels. 

Low estrogen levels can lessen or inhibit the healing effects of bee venom. 

We recommend getting your hormone levels checked as soon as possible with your regular doctor. Additionally, you can also purchase hormone tests online and go to an outpatient lab as a walk in. 

Sometimes estrogen/progesterone creams that you can purchase online and/or natural supplements can fix the problem. 

Otherwise, you’ll need to work with your doctor to get your hormone back to optimal functioning levels. 

 

8. You aren't using your apitherapy soap with bee venom at least 3 times a week, head to toe.

Regardless of which health condition you are dealing with or looking to improve, the power of your apitherapy soap shouldn't be over looked. 

It's important to remember that the body's largest organ is the skin. The skin is also the immune systems first line of defense. If your integumentary system isn't functioning at optimal levels, the rest of the body's organs including the immune system are guaranteed to suffer. 

Soap, unlike other types of topical products like a leave on moisturizer, lowers the surface tension on the skin upon contact, allowing for important apitherapy actives, including the bee venom to quickly penetrate deep into the dermal layers of the integumentary system.

Bee venom & other bee hive ingredients require low surface tension in order to penetrate and disperse within the body. 

After rinse off, bee venom soap continues to work up to 72 hours after rinse off. Thee active ingredients in our apitherapy cleansers, trick the immune system into thinking that the skin is being lightly stung, repeatedly. This keeps the immune system constantly activated, strengthening the body's defenses, long after rinse off.

 

10. You are not regularly exfoliating the body and/or practicing regular removal of body hairs. 

We suggest using an electric razor with your apitherapy soap biweekly or more often during your bee venom therapy cycles for best results. Regular body hair removal and exfoliation helps speed skin cell regeneration so the skin can remain healthy and keep an optimal microbiome necessary for your venom injections to disperse throughout the skin and tissues.  

 

11. You are not practicing regular ear therapies 

like behind the ear sessions or using an electric scrub brush with your apitherapy soap, on the backside of the ears a few times a week or more. Ear therapies are essential for opening the gateway to better fluid transportation and preventing fluid build up in the skin and tissues.

 

12. The bee venom is not able to properly disperse throughout the skin & tissues.

Regular lymphatic drainage and massage therapies are key to helping with this issue. Additionally, be sure to practice regular stretching routines before & after your venom injections.

 

 

 

 

If after correcting all of the above, you are still experiencing little to no effect from your venom injections, please contact us so we can help you trouble shoot. As there may be other health conditions or imbalances, medications, and/or factors that may be hindering the bee venom less effective, that we are unaware of at this present time.
