Current posts hammer on about fumagillin and antibiotics. 

I posted recently that in Europe we have Api Herb for treating nosema, a mix of herbal products and vitamin  B12.  The tests quoted by apiservices ( first up on Google for API herb) suggest more spore reduction than fumagillin. 

Has anyone one looked at this non- drug treatment for nosema? Or is US just hooked on manufactured drug treatments? 

The human race survived for 250,000 years  or so just with herbal extracts.
