(Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from plants and trees and is used to coat the inside of the beehive and the honeycomb cells with an antiseptic layer. Royal jelly is a substance produced by young worker bees and fed to queens).
Stefan Stangaciu M. D., a specialist in family medicine and president of the German Apitherapy Society, will be joined by Katrina Brudzyski, a scientist at Bee-Biomedicals, and Annie VanAlten, owner of Annie’s Apitherapy (a division of Dutchman’s Gold Honey), to discuss the therapeutic properties and use of hive products in treating medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), arthritis, non-healing wounds, and ulcers.
Dr. Stangaciu, a native of Romania, has presented scientific papers on Apitherapy at more than 100 conferences, seminars and workshops in 34 countries.
