Iddee, your link brought me to the first time I have heard about this. It sounds interesting but I tend to be skeptical when it comes to this sort of claim. Cancer is no simple illness and chemotherapy presents many challenges. When the medical trials are completed and found successful, on a larger group of individuals I would be more prone to give an opinion. All sorts of fancy claims tend to raise my suspicions. When the arrticle says “One spoonful of regular honey has about 120 active ingredients, while one spoonful or LifeMEL contains thousands of active ingredients” I automatically suspect commercialism trying to make a fast buck. They keep their back covered by saying "LifeMEL MAY improve chemotherapy patients’ quality of life as they are undergoing treatment.” It also MAY NOT. Honey certainly improves the quality of lilfe, but that doesn't necessarily make it solve problems caused by chemotherapy.

Whatever it does or doesn't do, a post from Efmesh sure makes a brighter day for me. Thanks for letting us know you are still around and active. Hope you keep us up to date on your condition over there.
