[epilepsy] My reply from Medra so far....



Hi all,

I put in a request for more information from Medra, specifically
relating to epilepsy and requesting any studies that have been done
with stem cells and epilepsy. I got this form letter back. I'll let
you know if/when I receive any additional information.

Take care,
Tammy

Note at the bottom that treatments are $30,000 for the first
treatment, $12,500 for subsequent treatments, and insurance will not
cover the treatments. Also, the treatments are actually done in the
Carribean, not in Germany. That's just for injections, folks, as it
is all done on an outpatient basis.
