I need to call and ask if patients were also checked for ccsvi. Thanks for thread.

I know someone that went to Brazil, had blood or marrow removed, went back a few months later and had infusion however he passed on the chemo. Procedure didn't work. He needed the chemo/reboot.

Not until they perfect it. Too dangerous for a non lethal disease.
