Wasp Sting a Problem After a WeekPosted By Robert Henry (Ten Mile , Tn) on 08/09/2015
Hi U Mama---- this is your neighbor in Tenn and need your counsel.
Several weeks ago our pastor and his family were visiting us here on the lake and a wasp stung his wife. We addressed the sting , but two weeks later her hand is still swollen and she is physically in the dumps . Josh told me that this beginning to affect her emotionally.
This concerned me, came from church, and did some research and learned that this can be serious , but could find no natural treatments out this far.
My first thought is what treatment you would do after this period of time?
It seems that her immune system is not taking care of this situation. EC covers only bee stings and when it happens.
Maybe Timh can also shed some light.

Wow, two weeks out and she is still suffering. I have certainly seen stings last a while, but not that long. I can tell you what my "go to's" would be in this case, with the goal of strengthening the immune system, purifying the blood, and addressing the localized inflammation.
Vitamin C, internally, to bowel tolerance. Best type would be sodium ascorbate in frequent doses, as in every hour or two. Some could likely tolerate as much as 1,000mg every hour, she could start with 500 mg every other hour and increase if the body is tolerating it.
Nettle leaf or turmeric root as an anti-inflammatory/blood purifier. Nettle leaf, 4 capsules 3-4 times a day. We have never seen any type of reaction from this. Or, turmeric - 2 capsules 4 times a day always with a glass of water to avoid constipation. We have even used both.
Baking soda baths - 1 cup baking soda in a warm bath, even a couple of times a day. (I have seen this help many things - I suspect it helps to alkalize the system.)
Plenty of water to help flush out the excess water and poisons.
A poultice of charcoal or salt or bentonite clay on the swollen area could be used overnight. (Poultices can be used during the day, too, they just aren't too convenient.)
Please let us know how it goes for her!

Re wasp bite,
I'm not Mamma...
but my two cents...
Try a poultice of Charcoal and or Epsom Salts to draw out the poison. Or Clay (Bentonite).
Could drink these too to get it out of system. Also I use Echinacea to apply topically (repeated five or six times on site over a day). And drink plenty of Colloidal Silver in case the sting carried a different infection that merely the reaction to the poison from sting.

Mamma's and Dave's advise is quite thorough but I would add taking the Echinacea both topically and orally for best results. Oil Pulling is an excellent broad-spectrum type detox that would also surely help.
Lastly, Jim Humble claims MMS is a powerful antidote to even serious cases of spider, bee, and snake bites/poisoning.

For spider bites and the real issue of tissue necrosis...I have experienced exceptional results, without necrosis, with pulsed electromagnetic field at 9.6hz, 400 gauss, 1 hour...3 treatments over 24 hours. Pain cessation in the first hour (6 inch by 1/2 inch raised site with 3/8" pustule center...fever and pain)...site reduced by 50% in 8 hrs...gone, finished, pustule reabsorbed without opening or drainage in 36 hours.
Got this idea from Jerry Decker at Keelynet.com as he recounted a practice used in rural Mexico for poisonous bites from spiders to snakes; Take a 9volt transformer from any consumer electronic device...cut the plug that goes into your device off...not the part that plugs into the wall...separate the two wires...plug in the transformer (keeping your two wires from touching) place the bare wires to either sides of the bite and flood the site with 9vt. DC energy...theory is that the current nullifies the venom. My PEMF device is way more specific so I have not tried this method...but in an emergency an ac/dc transformer is as close as your phone charger and would be my next experiment in healing!!!

I just read on another site that a man was camping, and several people got stung with bee stings. He put some colloidal silver liquid (8.8 PPM) on the stings and got immediate pain relief. It then went on to take the swelling down. Maybe topically and internally as Dave often recommends? Can't hurt, may help.

You good people are trying to help a fine family and I truly appreciate your efforts. I will keep you posted on her progress.

My preacher's wife, Kelly, is now good to go after she used most of your recommendations. I also loaned her my Flex Pulse magnetic device.
In any case, she thinks she is well, but is still debating as to whether to sue me or not for the wasp sting. I told her that the wasp came from my neighbor's yard. That has not resonated.
I was really concerned for her and ya'll responded as you normally do. Wow, I am just glad to be a part of this great family. Wouldn't it be something if the whole world joined ranks to help one another? We can on EC in our own special way.
