018: The Healing Power of Bee Venom Therapy with Brooke Geahan Founder of The Heal Hive

Brooke Geahan went from running her own company to being bedridden for two years. Today she credits bee venom therapy with saving her life. Brooke's life was turned upside after being diagnosed with late-stage Lyme disease and the co-infections that came along with it. Those infections turned into life-threatening autoimmune diseases she battled alongside cancer. After spending over $150,000 of her life savings on Western medicine to no avail, she turned to bee venom therapy. Within a few weeks of treatment, she knew she found her answer. Today, Brooke has eradicated her Lyme disease and reversed every single reversible autoimmune disease she had. As a result of her journey, she is a big proponent of bee venom therapy and is the founder of The Heal Hive.
