    Natural supplement

    I read about this stuff few months ago. I was curious because bee produced natural medicines are common in Japan. They use it to treat inflammation and in several home remedies. In one study related to cancer, researchers found it to stop proliferation of cells. I do not think that this product can be classified as holistic medicine but as a natural healthy supplement.

    Here is an article on the matter;

    What about your RP recovery, have you gotten any PSA result (post op) yet?

    Wishing you the best.
