This seems like it should be major news?    I just happened to find this on Yahoo, and it's from the UK?

They tried this in the 80s with MS.  I remember my dad being stung on purpose by live honeybees. They also tried rattlesnake venom.

I thought that was put on hold. First he's going to adopt 3 little girls to help him steal the moon. I'm not sure if that's the actual plan or code for something else.

Breast cancer gets so much more funding than any other kind of cancer. If that isn’t the first type of cancer “cured”, then a scientist in a different specialty did something even more extraordinary.
