> *If* nosema ceranae is only a symptom then why is your friend worried about nosema and spending a $140 U.S. a bottle for fumigillin?

I am sure you agree that billions of dollars are spent each year on products that are not needed. On the other hand, many use antibiotics as a form on insurance (insurance = you pay for it hoping you don't really need it).

As an aside, I have heard that folks are spending thousands of dollars on "Honey Bee Healthy". I have not seen one speck of evidence that it suppresses viruses, and yet you hear that repeated all the time. 

My main point is that there are a lot of conflicting opinions on nosema, bee health, etc. Not that I am right and somebody else is wrong. Nobody wants to get to the bottom of this more than me.
