Apitherapy Conference in Utah Sept. 21-24

By Lois M. Collins, Deseret Morning News (USA), 8/28/2006

Sept. 21-24

Anyone interested in learning about the medicinal use of honeybee products is invited to the Charles Mraz Apitherapy Course & Conference (CMACC) in Salt Lake City.

Sponsored by the American Apitherapy Society, which is a nonprofit membership organization established for the purpose of advancing the investigation of apitherapy and has in past years attracted participants from around North America and the world.

This year, for the first time, AAS is offering the option of attending either the introductory apitherapy training from Thursday evening through Saturday morning or an advanced conference from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. Participants may also opt to attend both.

Apitherapy is the use of beehive products — such as bee venom, bee-collected pollen, royal jelly, propolis, beeswax and honey — for health and to treat various conditions.

AAS makes no claims about the safety or efficacy of honey-bee products and does not endorse any specific type of apitherapy.
