Nigel maybe you should attempt to find out who these people are and who your doctor said they cured and treated with this method and get their side of the story. I have a strong hunch their take would be mixed at best. My wife's doctor also stated 5 years ago she cured someone with RSD. I have my doubts. There is a member of this site that seems to have found a method to relieve her pain substantually. I'm watching this thread closely and trying to get my wife Suzy interested.
