Subject: Just had my appointment with Dr. Reich
Hi everyone, First of all, I really want to thank everyone who responded
to my question asking if there was anyone out there who has been
adhesion free for over two years. I didn't expect so many replies. I
just had my appointment with Dr. Reich in New York on Friday. He was
so nice. He immediately found a huge nodual of endometriosis which was
very painful. He totally acknowledged all my pain and suffering and
problems with digestion from the adhesions. He never looked at me like
I was crazy, or tried to push me off on another doctor. He said he
could help me. And for more exciting news, he told me that I could have
my surgery in one of three places, New York, Pennsylvania, or the Cayman
Islands! He said that he is doing a study in the Cayman Islands using
Spray-Gel! He said that he has always thought that his way was the best
way, but he is really impressed with the results of the spray gel. It's
not approved in the U.S. yet by the FDA but they have been using it for
a while in the U.K., Germany, and some other places. Now he is able to
use it in the Cayman Islands which is much closer than Germany, where he
has used it before. He said that he went back in for a "look-see" on
his last patient who had LOTS of adhesions and there was absolutely no
adhesions re-forming. It's funny, after all the research I did I found
that Dr. Reich and the Spray-Gel were the most interesting as far as
curing this disease, and now it looks like I may get both! I'll keep you
all posted on how things go.
