Bee Venom Therapy in Mexico


NACO, Sonora, Mexico — The throngs of people waiting to get stung by bees here outside Jose Miguel Sobarzo’s home office are buzzing with anticipation.

The patients — or clients — come from his hometown here in Naco, Sonora, from as far away as California and Colorado for the chance to get a bee placed on their back, neck or arm so they can feel the relief released from the insect’s toxins.

Sobarzo’s patients swear by the ancient therapy. They say it helps with everything from arthritis, to diabetes, to lack of memory and energy.
