The international forum “Honey World” sponsored by the governor of the city, who has been interested in bees for last years was held in Yaroslavl. The festive welcome ceremony of the honey trade fair which displayed everything connected to bees was organised. The providers didn’t invite the representatives of apitherapy to the first official day, having put this sector on a back burner, though. As a result, the conference of the apitheraputists was not as bright and massed as usual, which led to a certain dissatisfaction and further wishes not to disprove apitherapy.

The 42d Congress of the international Organisation “Apimondia” was held in Buenos-Aires, the capital of Argentina. The Congress lasted five days. More than ten thousand delegates from 80 countries took part in it. The Russian delegation was headed by Igor Krivopalov-Moscvin. This year the motto of the Congress was “For the stable and generating development of beekeeping”. One of the topical issues of the Congress was mass mortality of bees, but they are responsible for pollination of 35% the crops. It the sphere of selection raising of disease resistant bees was assigned as the main question. The roundtable discussions devoted to such topics as “The International Problems of Bee Sales”, “World Honey Market Tendencies”, “Bee as a Bioindicator of Rugged Environmental Changes (Global Warming, Pesticides, GMO)”, “Bees’ Health: Diagnostics and Disease Control” were organized. More than 250 scientists represented about a thousand studies at conferences and symposiums.

The narcological conference “Alcohol as treatment or as damage” was held in Geneva. Special interest was raised by the presentation of the Chairman of the Apitherapy Commission "Apimondia" Theo Cherbuliez (the USA). It was based on the studies of the Chelyabinsk Research Institute of Clinical Apitherapy. The programme of Apinacotherapy helps not only to exclude alcohol in problematic cases but also to normalize the process of drinking, which is a unique phenomenon.
For Theo this work is particularly interesting from the standpoint of apitoxintreatment of alcohol dependence, as his bachelor degree is an expert in narcology-psychiatrist. It was noted that this is a completely new and different approach in the treatment of dependencies and it has great prospects.

The first edition of the newspaper called “API” was released. Read it at http://www.api-centre.ru/gazeta/.

The XIV International Congress on Immunology and Immunorehabilitation organized by the World Immunopathology Organization and the CIS Allergologists and Immunologists society took part in Israel from the 17th to 21st of October.
There were even two representatives from International Medical Centre “API” there, whose reports attracted much attention of the Congress participants. The first report was devoted to the problem which touches the whole world: multiple sclerosis treatment and rehabilitation. The report included such issues as what such patients face with, why regular methods of treatment are powerless, and how to choose a method of treatment. The report described the treatment methods which “API” Centre suggests to help people to normalize their organism condition and to get back to their former way of living with the help of bee venom and apiculture products. Using those methods it’s possible to stop destructive processes in the organism, the main of which is demyelinization process.
The second report posed a problem of Infantile Cerebral Paralysis which is quite wide-spread all over the world and has no treatment method which would be accepted by patients.
With the help of our centre new methods, we are able to treat such patients, to achieve good results in rehabilitation and in restoration of abilities responding patient’s age.
Both reports were accepted by our colleagues from different countries with a great interest and lots of questions concerning details of treatment and the unique character of treatment methods and approaches with no side effects.
The interest is also connected with the fact that apitherapy is becoming more and more wide-spread and popular thanks to its results. Moreover, it’s possible to successfully treat in our centre other hardly-cured diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, respiratory, cardiovascular, backbone diseases, hypertonia, etc. We have a long and successful experience of different narcological diseases treatment as well.

The International Apimondia Congress in France came to the end.
Russian research apitherapy was represented by MD, Professor Igor Krivopalov-Moskvin, the general director of the International Medical Centre “API”. His report was devoted to one of the most problematic topics in Russia: alcoholism.
In France, as well as in Spain, Italy and other countries people also drink and sometimes quite often, but at the same time they do not ruin themselves by drinking, while people in our country do so.
For many years bee venom and its fractions are used in “API” Centre for treatment. They replace alcohol and detoxify the organism. The most important thing is to provide both physical (for the person not to be in need of drinking) and psychic (to get rid of habits and stereotypes concerning drinking) comfort without alcohol.
However it’s hardly possible to stop taking alcohol for the rest of the time and probably there’s no need in it because it causes another kind of problems. Alcohol relaxation is quite acceptable, good quality alcohol is not harmful and even has a positive effect. All depends on how people sense alcohol and what are their motives of drinking.
In “API” Centre there is possibilitiy not just to stop taking alcohol for a certain period of time, but to control drinking habits and to form a stop-effect. This topic and the report itself attracted much attention as well as the idea which’ve seemed to be impossible – learning to drink moderately, enjoying yourself and not having alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
The usage of certain fractions together with a complex and comprehensive approach allows to almost completely get rid of nicotine and drug addiction.
Being in France Dr. Krivopalov-Moskvin gave advice to people with other problems, including multiple sclerosis, because “API” Centre is now a multi-field one. It is not for nothing that patients from all over the world come here to get help.
Treatment by bee stings and apiculture products are becoming more and more popular. People see and feel that a bee really gives them health, which means it gives a chance for longevity.

The European Congress on Multiple Sclerosis took part in Madrid. Unfortunately, for many years, there’s no improvement in medicine which patients could feel. As in 1990-s betaferon, copaxon, rebif, in our view, are not so and attractive because of the low probability of getting positive result. After
taking those medicaments for a long time, patients usually look for other ways of treatment. One of them is an APITOX program based on the effect of a bee venom fraction which has attracted many doctors. Patients from Holland finished their treatment in our Centre recently and they realized that multiple sclerosis is possible to treat.

Attention!!! The new address of “API” Centre in Moscow is 9 Anohina Str., “Jugo-Zapadnaja” (South-West) station, Moscow. Tel.: +7(095)430-05-70, 430-30-09

The XIII World Congress on Psychiatry took part in Cairo. It was for the first time this congress was held on the African continent.
Everyone can have a personal opinion about Egypt, but there’s no doubt that the country is very attractive, first of all for its past, but the new attracts more and more attention of the tourists.
We presented our works of authorship and trends which we have been developing for many years. APITOX program for narcomania treatment can compete now with any current method and is even more attractive by being complex.
The program is based on the bee venom fractions effect which can destroy nervous-reflex ties, imitate drug activity, restore the work of organs and systems, raise the mood for a patient to continue living, to be active and energetic. Nowadays we can confidently say that a saying “There are no former drug-users” is not so up-to-date. The problem is heavy, but solvable.
For alcoholism treatment the program, consisting of three steps, has been chosen. The first step is rehabilitation, minimizing slips and excessive use consequences, quick alcohol and decay products excretion. The second step is to stop taking alcohol for a certain period of time with the help of Apinarcotherapy method, based on bee venom injecting in the condition of trance. And, finally, the third and the most complicated step for a patient to pass to the dozed drinking, which means formation of drinking control and stop-effect allowing a person not to drink to the end and to react quietly on what other people drink, to enjoy little quantities of alcohol which give him/her euphoric effect with no negative consequences, such as alcohol withdrawal syndrome the next day.

The 39th International Apimondia Congress was held in Ireland. Apimondia unites people from all over the world, who are engaged in apiculture and apitherapy.
Ireland is a very beautiful country which surprises by its music, astonishes by its castles and ravishes by nature.
We presented several reports in Dublin. The first topic was “Multiple sclerosis”. For the first time at the Congress the information about our etiological classification (which gives a new vision of multiple sclerosis origin and three main factors necessary for that) sounded. The treatment of MS was represented as based on APITOX program which our clinic has been using for many years. The patients from different countries of the world can prove its efficiency. Another neurological disease which has become wide-spread among our patients is a Parkinson’s disease connected, first of all with dopamine inefficiency. Bee venom can supply it by two ways: firstly, by stimulating its own dopamine output, secondly by having dopamine in bee venom. Another topic has been chosen out of our new topics and it deals with a quite wide-spread nowadays disease “Infantile Cerebral Paralysis”. Its main peculiarity is that there’s still no way of ICP treatment. Our program for the first time (as far as we are concerned) gives a possibility not just to engage a patient in rehabilitation, but to treat using different fractions of bee venom as well.
Apitherapy today attracts many people, and in the centre of it is bee venom of course, especially bee stings, however such treatment is lead by ache which becomes an obstacle in treatment of patients with high pain threshold and children, of course. In connection with this we presented a method of influence on pain syndrome and bee sting efficiency, which allows to:
1. Treat the patients scared of ache and treat children
2. Adapt organism to bee venom softer for the people with often allergic reactions
3. Influence the strength of bee venom effect in order to relieve the pain easily, especially for patients in bad condition with problems connected with backbone and joints.
