Lasik surgery was invented by a medical equipment company. Early on, they did not even sell the equipment. They leased it for a per procedure fee. Lasik cost up to $4000 per eye in the beginning. As new technologies were developed that did not infringe on the original patents and the market expanded, these costs came down.

It will take time to recover the cost of the clinical studies. The existing studies do not count because they are not randomized or meet other statistical criteria.

With the FDA, the patent does not start running the clock until the FDA approval. Other doctors can do the procedure but they can not advertise it to diagnose, treat or cure any disease since it is an off-label use. Nor, do they have access to the technique of injecting it unless they have signed training agreements with Dr Tobinick.

I look forward to hearing how an mTBI patient responds. Those in the studies had much more serious injuries.

even 2000 altogether wouldn't be bad but almost 10000 after everything? geez. it would take me a year to save that from my disability and I don't know if it would be a wise investment. I doubt they do phone consultations. ill just find some enternacept and jab it into my neck lol just kidding. mark in Idaho if you read this aren't there any natural supplements that can reach the brain that are anti inflammatory

Take curcumin. You can take 8 grams of it safely. Or, you can take tumeric, it has curcumin in it.

thanks Mark. I already have some so I can get started. is it necessary to take omega 3 and krill?

Why take Omega 3 and krill ? Take one or the other.

thanks for the info

What it boils down too is if you get good results, (like the folks in the INR videos), then it's worth the $10K....n more!

I might be doin this in the very near future .....
N yes they do phone consultations n you can fax or email your medical records!

I'll also point out, (like I did on my thread), that they've partnered with Wells Fargo bank to offer their patients a no interest, no payments for 12 months credit card.....so you don't need to "save up," you can pay it off during a year!

Also, the price just went up this month, as last month it was $5K,

that's just for the injection but there are other costs. I think its kind of cruel ro go from 5000 to 10000 when I think 5000 was overpriced taking advantage of people in despair. I can't respect that. this certainly seems to be some logic behind this direct injection but the pain injection he gave for $6000 turned out to be a fraud and he was disciplined by the Medical Board. He is no angel. He's an opportunist. But I don't blame you for getting it done if I had the money to spare I would too

The discipline ....in California? If so, I had read that it was for his advertising inaccurate claims n such......for back pain?

Believe me that I don't have the $ to spare.....I had to retire ...at age 39!....due to my disability......so my private pension ain't much!

I will be financing this......plus I paid allot more for my other treatments,

yeah he advertised that he had an injection to get rid of back pain but in clinical trials it turned out it wasn't true and he got in trouble. But the research on this seems to be real. And if I were you I would go for it.I don't know if it was in California or Florida
