......But I feel that I must let you in on my experience. I had 9

>supposed to be absorbed by the body. But , for some reason my body
>wouldn't absorb it and instead it burned me and caused severe
>inflamation as well as pain. My doctors here in Arkansas had never seen

>out with saline but that didn't work. I tried every specialist within

>Gerhart. I contacted him and he contacted me right back. He thought
>that it all needed to be cut out, get down to the tissue as well. He
>also felt that we needed Dr. Harry Reich to assist because there was a
