Extensive work with melittin has shown that it has multiple effects apart from very strong anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect. It has been studied as potential toxins against prostate cancer. Also, antibody-melttin conjugates have been shown to selectively kill the tumor cells in vitro. Melittin also helps to activate the body's adrenal glands, which causes one's own natural healing response. Many people that have multiple sclerosis (MS) use melittin in order to help treat the disease.
