OK OK....its not going to be a porn callback(like you would ever call THEM in the first place Dave!) no its from the clinic in Rotterdam(no not selling weed!) they wanted to know a couple of details before I could be put forward towards making an appointment....what for I hear you scream(the mear mention of porn will shake some gages I know!) well its for stem cell therapy....(cue tumble weed)......(crow screams in background!).....all I wanted was a price list and some info!
I have heard some scarey stories of this treatment and I am not going to give another but I did learn some interesting stuff!
1) you have to give up smoking if they are going to do the treatment at all(like that wont make you feel better anyway!!!!) as SMOKING, YES 'SMOKING KILLS STEMCELLS' AND WOULD STOP ANY BENIFIT TO THE TREATMENT!(ok I will give up!) The benifits from giving up smoking include, longer life, you stop smelling like an ash tray, you can invite you parents round without that 'does my house smell' question in the inner monologue(lol..but does it really? hu hu) greater ability to circulate blood arround your body, you get rid of that cough you have had every time it gets cold(sparks the lighter) your ability to excercise will increase with your lung capcity, you will feel better! Sorry let me say that again YOU WILL FEEL BETTER! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(pause for thought maybe)
2)the process for this is one night in a rotterdam surgery(strange that the porn deffinition is now gone!) its isnt a opperation either. Injection only! Does that work? They give you a drip for about an hour where they pass the stem cells in a pint of blood at a time! The stemcells are the training cells for the body and they locate where damage has happened and start work fixing the damage! So it works like the heat seeking missle!
3) the cost was mentioned but it seemed to be talked over once the credit agreement was brought into conversation. £13,500.....now you all know me, I try not to swear at the best of times even when Bobbeh leaves a dirty note....but f*ck me £13,500! What am I saying....f*ck me! That is 13 times the dept I allready have....thats a deposit on a house, a new car...omg!
Look I am going to swear for a bit and I dont need to put it on here so I will leave it as that.
dave, i know nothing about stem cell therapy other than the underlying issues that it raises...we all know where the stem cells come from...i applaud your initiative to seek relief in this manner, but the cost boggles my mind!!! it appears to be readily available only for the wealthy and THAT IS NOT FAIR!!!
haha cheers for the giggle shannon! I get the emails sent to me when people spell things wrong! I love it! Its like watching bloopers on tv! Thanks for the votes of confidence any way!We will do it one day! Dave
You've discussed stem cell therapy before but this brings it a little closer to home. £13,500 is a lot buts its only money, if you were healthy you'd manage to find it if you wanted that car or that house badly enough. And you're not exactly alone are you? Did they mention where they would get the stem cells from i.e. from you?
They said the stem cells are donated to the hospital from heathy births! they are screened and them put into the patient by invetro! Just another day in hospital....but who knows??? Anyone tried it? what are your views now?
hmmmmm, probably placental stem cells, which are not so powerful in their healing abilities (to my knowleddge) as the ones derived from aborted fetuses...touchy subject, that...
there should be a corresponding discount for you to the risk that they might not work as expected!!!
amanda, wellbutrin is sometimes prescribed in the US as an aid to quitting smoking! so, you are right, because the wellbutrin takes some time to "ramp up" to effective levels in your blood, and that probably happened about the time you got sick from the Novantrone...
so you're tobacco-free, now and good luck 2 to all of you who have quit or want to quit...i've posted on other blogs that IMO it's the damned hardest habit in the world to kick for good...i quit for 10 years and started up again 5 years ago just like that! (i thought i could just have 1, but that's impossible)
what worked well for me when i did quit was sort of a "group therapy" session sponsored by an organization in the US called "Smokenders"...but as you can see, it wasn't entirely effective!
