Sorry delayed resonse, catching up on email finally.
<Has anyone one looked at this non- drug treatment for nosema? Or is US
just hooked on manufactured drug treatments?>

Maybe this is me quibbling over details, but herbal treatments are still
drug treatments.  Just because they are "natural" does not mean they are
necessarily safer (though to be fair, most herbal treatments have lower
doses of active ingredients).  It often means they are simply less studied.

<The human race survived for 250,000 years  or so just with herbal
extracts.>
Key word <survived>.  We've done much better since then.
