I am replying to an inquiry from Nancy Appleton.
Nancy, you asked if I would give you some information on what is involved.
I went to Sarasota Florida and was treated by Dr. F. In my case they drew seven vials of blood from which they collected the stem cells. The next day they transfused the stem cells back to me in an I V. They also gave me another substance I V that day. The next day they treated me again with another substance. Then I met with Dr. F. again and discussed what I could hopefully expect from the treatment. He gave me some medicines that he wanted me on and a prescription for some Glutathione and another med. He also wanted me to come back in three or four months for a follow up treatment. The first treatment was on August 19-21. As it turned out, he is enthusiastic that I am improving and wanted me back in October but there was no way that I could get another trip in. We have my next trip set for November 22-24.
So you all will know, I can now sit like this without O2 suppliment and maintain around 95-97%. I still have to have extra when I try to do anything that is physical. I am very encouraged and hope the next treatment will improve me even more. I really don't expect to be able to do heavy physical work again but if it is to be then I will have been even more blessed. I have had people from all over praying for me and am a prayer warrior and I give thanks to the Lord for what is happening to me. He must have something more for me to do. I was supposed to be dead a few years ago but here I am. If I die now I sure am going to have some mighty mad patients.(joking)
The treatment went well and was really relatively pain free. There are variations from what I have experienced but this is pretty close to what you can expect. If you have any other questions please let me know. I hope that this has helped.
