Someone in a facebook group told me that their daughter had
lyme disease and got stem cell treatment from Infusio in
beverly hills, and my moms coworker said his cousin had to fly
to Germany to get a stem cell procedure that Im assuming was
similar.....
Thoughts...?
I am thinking about doing it but its 29k and I would go into
serious debt for it, and I feel like a lot of places sell you "snake
oil" basically and take advantage of desperate chronically ill
people knowing they will do anything to feel normal again....
obviously this isnt covered under insurance so do we really
know we are getting what we are paying for??

Just read about this in Yolanda's new book, page 190.
This treatment consists of extracting your stem cells, growth factors, and other important elements from your blood, which then grow for 10 days before they are reintroduced through an injection in your arm.
Downfall to this was the founder wasn't willing to collaborate enough with Yolanda's doc, Dr K in Seattle. Also the founder claimed he could cure Lyme, instead of remission.
On her 10th day of treatment out of 14, she felt so horrible, she recorded a video diary stating if she dies, to please use her body for research.
She left Germany defeated because she made no progress. She also states, out of all the doctors and clinics she has gone to, as far as she can determine, Infusio didn't keep any records of what they did to her there.
It did not help her.
Of coarse, the disclaimer in her book states:
The information in this book is not intended to replace the advise of each reader's own physician. Individual readers are solely responsible for their own health. The intention of this book is to recount Yolanda's own personal experiences with various chronic medical conditions, in order to raise awareness. Author does not accept responsibility.

On top of that, if you haven't gotten rid of the infections (to the degree possible), I don't believe stem cell will help you. It's a crazy amount of money for who knows what?!

WOW yeah I just looked on YouTube and I saw a poor girl who went to infusio and she was getting worse... her parents must have paid all of that money too.
Also saw another guy on YouTube that had no luck with it either. It seemed way too good to be true and I guess it might be.
