The doctor died in 1981 and his baton was picked up by Spiridonov, Kondrashov, Rachkov.

The name of the homeopathist pops up only on the pages of the sites of beekeepers who actively advertise tincture with phenomenal properties.

The opinion of doctors about tincture of larvae

All reviews of doctors about the extract of wax moth are one. Official medicine does not see the prerequisites for the treatment of any disease with this tool due to the lack of a scientifically proven base. In addition, such an enzyme, cerase, to the action of which folk healers refer, is not listed in the classification of enzymes and its chemical formula is not known in scientific circles.

Such a wide range of effects of the drug is perplexing. And the destructive effect on viruses, bacteria, and the strengthening effect on body cells, and the effect on blood flow, etc. Wax moth extract cannot contain as many biological substances as manufacturers claim. A high content of trace elements and vitamins can boast of any pharmacy drug, which will have a significantly lower price and the presence of a quality certificate.

Application Reviews

Most of the reviews on the use of wax moth tinctures are left by visitors to manufacturers' websites, less often reports of a phenomenal elixir are found on forums dedicated to the fight against tuberculosis.

Olga, 45 years old: “My adult son was given a disappointing diagnosis - tuberculosis, the stage of decay. He was treated in a hospital for three months, then outpatient treatment was prescribed. I found an article on the Internet about the healing properties of tincture of wax moth, ordered from Altai beekeepers. The son has been taking her for five months, says that her condition has improved. We will hope for further positive dynamics. ”

Anna, 35 years old “Tired of constantly getting sick and decided to work on strengthening immunity. Established nutrition - began to eat more vegetables and fruits to enrich the body with vitamins, and also acquired tincture of bee mothto increase resistance to viruses. It’s rainy autumn, and to my surprise, I’ve never caught a cold. ”

Sergey, 40 years old: “My son is 15 years old. For the past 7 years he has been constantly sick. Every cold goes into obstructive bronchitis. In the inpatient unit, all staff know him by name and face. The local pediatrician fears that bronchitis may turn into asthma and while the child is in his teens, he still has a chance to overcome the disease. Therefore, we devoted all our efforts to prevention. Having started searching for an effective remedy for the treatment of bronchitis, I came across a message on the forum of a person with the same problems as my son. He told how he managed to defeat the disease with the help of tincture of wax moth. 7 bottles were ordered right away to be enough for the course. The son was not shown the contents of the bottle and the caterpillars were removed. It has been 3 months since the start of taking tinctures. This is not to say that the son was completely cured, but he became less sick. After a 2-week break, we will continue the treatment course. ”

Sofia Lvovna, 43 years old: “My brother has an apiary. After reading reviews of the magnificent properties of the wax moth, she asked him to collect larvae in a jar when he had the opportunity. I prepared the tincture myself, there is nothing complicated about it. So far, the course of treatment is only one month. It seems to me that I began to sleep better and feel more cheerful. "

Andrei Alekseevich, a student at Lugansk Medical Institute: “Ignorance of people is truly surprising. The twenty-first century in the yard, and they believe in the healing powers of the mandrake root, tinctures of the rhino skin, and now also in the wax moth extract. It is not so scary when people use traditional medicine in parallel with the recommendations of the attending physician. It is terrifying when people refuse medical treatment in favor of potions. Recently, a five-year-old girl was brought to the department, who was suffocating. Barely managed to save her. And all because her mother, after the baby was diagnosed with bronchitis, ignored the appointment of a pediatrician and decided not to poison the girl with chemistry, but to cure her with a wax moth tincture. It only caused an ambulance when the child had difficulty breathing.Before making such decisions, especially when it comes to children, measure the risks and potential health risks from using folk remedies. ”

Christina: “To take such a disgusting potion, there must be good reason. I am very squeamish and I don’t know what should make me drink potion of floating caterpillars, filled with unknown. Who knows, maybe they mistakenly filled them with technical alcohol, and after taking the drug, I certainly will no longer need any medicine. ”

Anton Petrovich, 59 years old: “I’ve been holding soy apiary for 15 years. About 5 years ago, a muffled cough appeared. I did not find tuberculosis, nor did I find any obvious causes of coughing. I had to trust traditional medicine. A sorceress from a neighboring village advised me to prepare a tincture of wax moth larvae. This "good" periodically starts in the hives, so I did not experience a lack of components for preparing the medicine. I drank tincture in three-month courses with monthly breaks. After a year-long course, the cough almost disappeared. Now the wife is going to treat migraine with tincture. ”

Albina 35 years old: “My friend is 31 years old and she did not manage to get pregnant. What she no longer did, which doctors and healers did not go to, was all in vain. Regarding his wife as useless, the husband left her. The poor thing generally lost the meaning of life - neither a child nor a husband. While suffering greatly lost weight, became exhausted, barely moving her legs. Her mother, a regular reader of healthy lifestyle, insisted that her friend start drinking a tincture of wax moth. Gradually, a friend began to recover, forgave her husband's betrayal and met a wonderful man. Six months later, she became pregnant, then gave birth to a healthy little boy. For everything that happens to her, she thanks the tincture of the moth, and sometimes she affectionately calls her "little bee" her son.

Maria 48 years old: “Her husband’s report that he was diagnosed with tuberculosis shocked us. There were several foci in the picture, and the doctors set up the spouse to have to resort to surgical intervention. The husband was treated in a tuberculosis dispensary and drank pills in handfuls. I believe that all treatment methods should be used for treatment. Therefore, she became a regular in forums and publics where people shared their ways of fighting tuberculosis. Irish moss, dill seed, spruce cone jam - which I just did not carry to my husband in the hospital. Once, while waiting for the opening hours, I talked with a woman who, like me, came to my husband. She said that after taking a tincture of wax moth, her husband had a positive trend. On her recommendation, I ordered tincture. After 3 months of use, the husband began to gain weight, tomography showed noticeable improvements, and after 3 months the husband was transferred from the hospital to outpatient treatment. I can’t say with accuracy what exactly helped my beloved: pills, tincture of wax moth or the belief that he can overcome the disease - the main thing that helped. ”
