Two points.

1. I agree with Jim that you are missing the point. The point is that this in NOT an approved treatment. It is being performed on a Trial basis. It may turn out to be everything that the manufacturers and you think it will be. But until then, I don't want experimental procedures performed on me without my consent.

2. Nobody has insulted you in this thread. Jim has presented an opinion with which you disagree. Why is this kind of insult necessary?
