Would you equate scorpion venom reaction as a parallel to the effect of caffeine? The high Copper, the spike in blood pressure upwards, later the subsequent drop in blood pressure, the antiestrogenic effects, the stimulant, sleeplessness?
I have been ruminating about the use of scorpion venom for cancer…
What troubled me was the raising of blood pressure…But I remembered that licorice root, a tremendous antiestrogen, also did that temporarily, as does caffeine…
I checked the chemical constituents of scorpion venom for Copper, since Copper lowers estrogen…Phosphorus is the element on the Grove Body Part chart, for estrogen type things…

Excerpt from link:’Quantitative analysis show Copper to be the… ‘ (chemistry of scorpion venom study)…
A quick look though shows other constituents…Copper is anti cancer ( lowers phosphorus)yes, Manganese lowers iron so yes, Arsenic lowers blood sugar so yes, Zinc lowers Lead levels so yes…But the high Calcium could be a problem as it raises progesterone, which can make lumps feel bigger, like dairy does…
Magnesium lowers mercury, so yes good…But Iron & Nickel are not good…
Let’s take a look though at Blue scorpion venom, because that is the type we see often touted for anticancer properties…What is it made of predominantly? Oh, nope…Cannot get a decent chemical analysis for this subtype…Ok…Let’s try a different tactic…
Interestingly, scorpion venom has been used for Vitiligo…So has licorice root…So has , Polypodium Leucotomos, which is also used for malignant tumour in Honduras…

So I am thinking this Copper aspect is the main draw for scorpion venom…
