@barbarazabcik My first infusion was also over the course of six hours...they want to make sure you don't have an allergic or other adverse reaction (they give antihistmines and steroids first). After the first time my treatments took 4-5 hours from start to finish. Regarding never having taken prescription drugs...seems like that would be a real advantage...your liver and kidneys must be in tip-top shape!
