Many Buzzing About New Treatment for Pain

Video will be available shortly.

There is a new treatment for pain some people are buzzing about.

Chinese patients have flocked to clinics, for bee stings.

Some clinics are using the so-called venom therapy to help alleviate pain and cure diseases that traditional hospitals cannot deal with.

The practitioners say a bee sting triggers a response from the immune system.

As blood is drawn to the site after the sting, they say it can help activate the body's healing process.

Patients then use the small pain to help deal with bigger pains.
