Did you know that Lyme disease — a serious bacterial infection spread by ticks — nearly ended a woman’s life, until something miraculous happened?
Her name is Ellie Lobel. At 27, she was bitten by an insect carrying Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Over time, the infection damaged her nervous system. For 15 years, from age 27 to 42, Ellie lived bedridden — in pain, exhausted, and waiting to die.
After endless treatments failed, she gave up. Her doctor told her she had just 90 days left. But in what seemed like her final days, something unexpected happened. While sitting outside, Ellie was swarmed by Africanized bees and stung dozens of times.
Instead of killing her, the stings revived her. She woke up pain-free. Weeks later, she was walking, thinking clearly, and living again. Doctors were baffled, but the answer lay in the bee venom. Somehow, it either destroyed the Lyme bacteria or reawakened her immune system.
Ellie calls it a miracle — proof that God can bring healing from the most unlikely places. The Bible says, “God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise” (1 Corinthians 1:27). Who would ever expect that a swarm of bees could do what years of medicine could not?
Today, Ellie speaks about apitherapy (bee venom therapy). Her case is rare, and bee stings can be dangerous without medical help, but her story is a reminder that God can use even the sting of a bee to bring life and hope.
