Has anyone been to this clinic in Beverly Hills? They also have one in Germany.
A state Lyme Disease Assoc posted info about them and a testimonial video of a girl who was helped by them. They apparently collect stem cells from your adipose tissue and then give them back to you as well as do hyperbaric treatments.
I looked at their website offering "medical treatments in a spa like atmosphere" and they offer all other types of treatment modalities as well. Of course they charge anywhere from $20-30,000!
Has anyone been here?
Does anyone have any links to the success of this treatment for Lyme?

HAHA Seriously its unbelievable I mean the supplements we have to take for years are outrageous enough.
wonder how long I would be well once I returned to living in a card board box under a bridge if I would even be able to pay for that kind of treatment.

Ah, the age old story of the haves and the have nots. . .
Human sufferring on a massive scale and no one will help us unless you have money.
I m just wishing for insurance coverage for Lyme doctors and treatment, better testing , and basic human compassion.
I don't begrudge people that have money, as they have worked hard for it.
My distain is with the CDC and the IDSA for keeping us ill and unable to provide for ourselves.
Lord, hear our prayers !

Also disdain for those who promise cures and offer none.

I went to a similar clinic in Germany. It did not help. I actually got worse after that. I am currently in treatment with Dr. S from DC and every day I see improvements. My brain is coming back. She has been my Angel. If I was you I would use that money in getting best Dr. that follows the Burrascano method. I spent a lot of money in Germany and here in NY in alternative treatments. I was afraid of long term antibiotics, but they are working for me. It is not even one year and so much better. Good luck with any decision you make. We are all different so you never know. This has just been my experience.

Stem cell treatment will not help long-term (or even much short-teem) if you haven't taken care of the infections---that's infections plural.
That kind of $$$ for something that may not even help is userous in my view---even if someone had the $ or came up with it. And if someone came up with it through crowd-funding, etc. and then found out that what they really needed was treatment for the infections and all the related issues?? Then what?

It's places like this that give Lyme treatment a bad reputation and undermine the credibility of those providing reasonable and effective therapies.
