The statement on the Wise Geeks website "No government-regulated agency has accepted propolis tincture as a method of prevention or treatment of any condition" isn't very well-informed. 

Health Canada, a government agency, allows companies to claim propolis may be used to "relieve sore throat and/or other mouth and throat infections." The claim must also use the term traditional Chinese medicine, ayurveda, or herbal medicine. So Health Canada does allow a company to make health claims about propolis on the label, which is fairly unusual in the world of herbal medicine.

Maybe this isn't the most important point in the world right now, but I thought it was correction-worthy at least.
