ABSTRACT

A study of therapeutic intervention was carried out in 44 patients with moderate descompensated toxic diffuse goiter, assisted in the Endocrinology Department of "Saturnino Lora Torres" Provincial Teaching Clinical-Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba from March, 2008 to same month of 2010, who were randomly selected and then divided into 2 groups of identical number of cases: the control group with conventional medication, and the study group that received bee therapy; in order to determine the effectiveness of honey as auxiliary treatment. The information was analyzed and processed by means of the hypothesis tests of Mann Whitney and that of means comparison, with an error of 5%, and it was obtained that bee therapy was more effective than the application of the habitual drugs in the rehabilitation of those affected, so that the generalization of its use was suggested to other health services.
