Reply:
Would seem to me if the cure helps to bring on secondary diseases, and contamination, and malnutrition by creating imbalances then you have shot yourself in the foot with the various treatments. Also if going back to small cell and more naturally sized combs eliminates the need for the treatments, and puts the hives back into balance, and with contamination you have to change the combs out anyways, then why not just do it and be done with the continuing problem of out of balance hives with their co-existant organisms.
