- He is infamous, both here and in Europe. In my opinion, the treatments
- are worthless and a total waste of money. They are not covered
- by insurance, in most cases. I have had several patients that
- have gone for these expensive treatments and I have noticed no
- difference in any of them. One fellow nearly died when the
- central line that he had in for the calcium injections became
- infected. As far as I know, the FDA is trying to stop his
- drugs from being imported, but people are still sending them in
- in small batches.
