“average JoeOhio Tour” cont.: \u00a0<\/strong> We have come to Wellington, Ohio, home of Archibald McNeil Willard. \u00a0 He was an unknown, but inspired, wagon painter who did the famous “Spirit of ’76” painting. \u00a0 (And there is a Spirit of ’76 Museum<\/strong><\/em> downtown here.)… Wellington is also the home of Don and Norma Downs, who are ‘inspired’ in their own right. \u00a0 They have an apitherapy ministry at their home in the country. \u00a0 Wonderful people. \u00a0 Apitherapy is about the \u00a0nutritional and medicinal aspects \u00a0of anything having to do with bees (pollen, honey, propylis, venom…) \u00a0 That’s right, venom. \u00a0 Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, people come from all over the northern part of the state to get, well, stung. \u00a0 People with arthritis, with depression, with paralysis, and a variety of other ailments, submit to the stingings. \u00a0 Bee venom, said Don (who has been written up in a number of local newspapers), has great curative properties. \u00a0 So much so, there is an American Apitherapy Society<\/a>. \u00a0 The evening we were here, groups of people from at least a 100-mile radius came to get stung and pick up supplies of honey, pollen and so on. \u00a0 This has been our second stop at the Downs, and the testimonies of the people who come here are pretty pheonmenal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
