Charles Mraz 1995 92 pages (M700) This is an excellent book on apitherapy: highly readable and very thought provoking. Charles Mraz was born in 1905 and seemed to start beekeeping not long after. His book is an autobiographical account of his initial scepticism of apitherapy, which subsequently turned into devotion. He treated thousands of ill people, without charge, for over 60 years. His 'patients' say he 'cured' them, but Mraz himself made no such claims. The bulk of the book describes the healing process of apitherapy (applying bee stings to the body): a clear description of his methods is provided. Many cases in which the bee stings were apparently successful in relieving peoples' ailments are described.
