Bonjour, Hank mentioned that it would be great if scientific research was to take place with proper controls etc. to validate any results relating to FGMO treatment in hives -good or bad. A description on work that is proceeding in France relating to FGMO may be found on the following site: http://apiservices.com/articles/huiles.htm I am afraid that it is in French but may be easily translated using an online translator! You might consider it worth a visit and then relate your comments Peter.
