INTENSIVE APITHERAPY COURSE TO BE HELD IN TORONTO
Three-day training to focus on health benefits of bee hive products

(Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Oct. 10, 2005) - Beginning Saturday,
November 19, an internationally-known expert on "Apitherapy," the
therapeutic use of bee hive products, will offer a three-day
"Intensive Apitherapy Course-Level 1" in Toronto, Canada, as an
overview of the health benefits provided by honey, propolis,
bee-collected pollen, beeswax, drone larvae extract, and royal jelly.

(Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from plants and
trees and is used to coat the inside of the beehive and the honeycomb
cells with an antiseptic layer. Royal jelly is a substance produced by
young worker bees and fed to queens).

Stefan Stangaciu M.D., a specialist in family medicine and president of
the German Apitherapy Society, will be joined by Katrina Brudzyski, a
scientist at Bee-Biomedicals, and Annie VanAlten, owner of Annie's
Apitherapy (a division of Dutchman's Gold Honey), to discuss the
therapeutic properties and use of hive products in treating medical
conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS), arthritis, non-healing
wounds, and ulcers.

Dr. Stangaciu, a native of Romania, has presented scientific papers on
Apitherapy at more than 100 conferences, seminars and workshops in 34
countries.

The introductory-level course is designed for beekeepers, practicing or
beginning Apitherapists, health care professionals, and patients who
wish to learn about the healing properties of hive products.
