Medussa I was laughing so hard when I read your post I almost fell out of my chair. Yes, I can answer those questions for you. The bee sting hype was just that. A person well known to me was one of the foolish to try the bee sting treatment...and she did get results....an ambulance was called and she was lucky to make it through the bee stings. That's when she found out she had triggered a response that left her with a severe allergy to bee and wasp stings. Besides being chided by every doctor that saw her she now carries an Epi Pen and will for the rest of her life. And yes, she still has MS. Uses a wheelcahir most of the time for shopping and long walks but still has good days where she can navigate in her home. Will she fall for the "liberation" treatment...not on your life, her doctor explained it all in great and precise detail to her and she trusts him completely. Guess the bee stings taught her a lesson.
As for the sky diver that was a well done hoax and it was found out. A lot of people had actually donated money to help "the cause"...there was talk about charges but then everything died down so don't know what happened after that but I'm sure if she had been cured she would have made headlines.
