Hi Maggie ... he had a great result with the propalis over a week or so ... having done so he has since been using Manuka Honey, which I bought to help our doggy recover from a severe wound after an operation.
The manuka honey with a UMF rating is now being used in hospitals, and has remarkable results for diabetics who have poor wound healing abilities due to their condition - theres lots of site on the internet where you can learn more about it, the different strengths and where to buy.
If nothing has worked from your Dr, then I would really try the manuka honey, maybe combined with the propalis if you wanted - the manuka has proven anti-bacterial and fungal properties and is known amongst other things as a good wound healer, when applied topically and fantastic for all kinds of conditions, and health maintance if taken orally - my hubby is doing both and seeing great results after yrs of suffering.
Its also now being used in hospitals after trials, especially for MRSA infected wounds.
Its natural , you can't overdose, and it certainly won't make your condition worse, so give it a go - maybe after clearing with your Dr of course !!
