JUNE 16, 2025 HAPPY 65 th DR F

Today is my 65th birthday I am a grateful blessed and humble man

As President of the American Apitherapy Society join a colleague of mine of June 22nd 2025

Dr. Jörg Mayer Clinical cases in which apitherapy was used for various exotic animal cancer patients are the focus of this lecture scheduled for 6 p.m. Sunday, June 22, 2025. Each case has contributed to the ever-growing and exciting eld of clinical apitherapy. Hopefully, we can continue to learn more about the in vivo application of bee venom, honey, and other products to benet affected animals and then translate that knowledge to human medicine. The lecture highlights cases where traditional oncological therapies, such as chemotherapy and adjuvant therapies like radiation, were not viable options. The owners were informed about the experimental nature of the therapy. Due to the advanced stage or aggressive nature of the cancer in these patients, the only other alternative to apitherapy was humane euthanasia. The cancer patients experienced signicant remission time with bee venom therapy (BVT), and some even received honey as intravenous infusions, all without any adverse side effects. Clinical pathology monitoring during the treatment revealed that all physiological parameters shifted towards normal values if they were abnormal at the start of the therapy. When necropsies were performed, no toxicological changes were noted in any organs, despite multiple venom and honey infusions. While much information on apitherapy originates from in-vitro experiments or even human case reports, the exchange of information between practical veterinary apitherapy and human apitherapy can only benet all parties involved, thereby moving the science forward. Dr. Jörg Maye Dr. Mayer is on Team Zoological Medicine College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. Lectures are Zoom calls on Sundays at 6 p.m. Individual Call: $50

Until tomorrow…
