Just to clarify, Infusio does NOT do hyperthermia. That is a different clinic. Infusio does stem cells.
Yes, it's expensive. Treatment is for 2 weeks (11 days, I think). You spend about 4 hours a day getting various treatments - ozone, IV's, etc. plus testing. I know my LLMD charges $250 for each IV treatment I get (Myers with Glutathione). I don't know how much he charges for ozone, but it's more than that. So if I did the same number of treatments via my LLMD, it would be thousands of dollars, over $5000 for sure. Plus the cost to see the doctor for hours every day. And even the "cheap" stem cell places start at $5000 just for the stem cells, and those are not the fat stem cells, which seem to be the most effective for Lyme and co. So when you add it all up, it's really not THAT much more than you would spend with a regular LLMD, and it is certainly more than a lot of us spend in a year on treatments.
It's just shocking to pay all of that all at once. I am keeping track of all of my expenses for tax purposes, and trust me, we are going to spend more than $25K this year on my treatment. And my LLMD isn't even that expensive.
Yikes! I can't say my treatments/appts have been really expensive - my abx are 80% covered and some of my LLND appts are as well.
So my main costs are supplements.
But the most money lost has been from loss of income for more than three years. If I could have worked through this - even part time - msybe I could afford some stem cells,
