Their website promises the world if you're willing to give them your life savings - 8 weeks of full time treatment and compliance with home care directives and toss that wheelchair away! Does anyone know any more about this? Thanks in advance...

Sounds like they charge patients a lot of money for non-essential treatments. It's also not clear if antibiotics are given as IV, or at all. And I'm not sure how the testimonial with Lyme managed to get viral loads down, since that's a completely different type of infection requiring completely different treatment.

8 weeks of antibiotics is also too short for chronic Lyme, though that's what another patient claims she had. It sounds like it's 8 weeks for everyone, which is rather odd. I've got chronic Lyme, and I'll be on IV antibiotics for at least 12 weeks, and longer if needed.

And I wouldn't go anywhere near a clinic claiming to naturally cure cancer.
