In closing, I don't write this to dash anybody's hopes or cast doubt on any physician's credentials. But beware false prophets- since the days of snake oil salesmen there have been all kinds of 'cures' for illnesses that later didn't pan out. I don't want to see anyone spend a lot of money on things that don't work and could potentially be harmful (such as unneccessary surgery).
