Hi, my wife was going to try it, or at least was thinking about it until we found out there was no facility near us that owned a unit and was offering the service. When I was reading about it initially (5-6 years back) the units cost over $100,000 and there were several in use at various facilities. But the problem was the treatment takes 2 weeks so you have to travel and stay at a hotel for over 2 weeks, plus the treatment cost was at least $5000. The kicker was when you find out that you may (or probably) would need to go back for a booster treatment after 2 or 3 months. And this is for a treatment that might or might not work. The whole idea just had too many drawbacks, unless you lived near a unit. Hank
