In this informative episode of The Dr. Ardis Show, “Can Venom Bee Healthy with Dr. Jana Schmidt,” Dr. Ardis tackles a global question: Is bee venom safe and beneficial for allergies, as used in medical therapy?
Joined by bee expert Dr. Jana Schmidt, dubbed the “Queen Bee,” they reveal the truth behind bee venom therapy. Dr. Ardis highlights the lack of informed consent in venom-based treatments, while Dr. Schmidt explains its harmful components—like phospholipase A2, linked to inflammation and death—and the tragic loss of bees in the process. They advocate for natural alternatives like honey, bee pollen, and propolis, which offer anti-inflammatory and immune benefits without harming bees.
