This would be a great new tool for pain management in patients with debilitating diseases, and provide a better quality of life, IMO. I suffer from bad diabetic neuropathy and would welcome something stronger than Gabapentin to keep it from flaring up.

They say black mamba venom will end every problem you have.

You and me both. I’m beginning to think gabapentin isn’t strong enough.

Well, well well...This new kid in town, the one called
“Murder Hornet”, may end up being our new best friend, once the venom is analyzed.

Byetta, used to treat diabetes, is derived from the venom in gila monster spit.

“would welcome something stronger than Gabapentin to keep it from flaring up.”

If doctors were decent, honorable people, you would be receiving it.

Back in my childhood in little Winston, ga, used to have a neighbor named Leonard Alexander. He had a small farm , bees, and arthritis in his hands that rendered them useles at times. Draw them up like a claw.
When he had a flare up, he would go to his bee hive, conjure up some bees on his hand, and get them to sting his hands. Dont know how, he was magic with them bees. He never wore any gear working them hives, and got them to do whatever he wanted. But those bee stings were the only effective medicine for his hands. And it worked great.
Leonard also concocted the best cold/cough medicine there was, and said it was the saving grace for his family in Atlanta during Spanish flu outbreak.
It was a hot toddy boiled in a pot with the shavings of the inside meat of sweetgum bark(analgesic like aspirin), spearmint leaves, shot of corn likker, honey and lemon.
Gotta boil it good. Breath in the steam while it boils then drink it.
I aint bought nyquil in years.
While modern medicine does have its place, nature does provide a healthier alternative for many ailments.
The inside shavings of sweetgum bark is the best aspirin/advil painkiller there is, and the only damn thing the tree is good for.
My maternal grandmother, Ruby Carson, descendant of Kit Carson and a princess from the wolf clan, had a wealth of natural remedies she tried to pass down but us grandkids forgot most of them.
