Did the patient die from the treatment or the disease?
These are separate treatments that did not effect the mites in any positive
way.  FGMO was a last ditch effort to save the hives, possibly to little to
late.  I sat and talk with a few people to review what they had done to try to
figure out what else could have been done.  One gentleman monitored his drops
daily, followed product labels, sought help from club members and still lost all
three of his hives.  While it is true that a few people had just been
blissfully unaware of what was happening, the balance of the people are educated,
informed and experienced.
