lol dawn ;-)

[FONT=”Microsoft Sans Serif”]thanks dawn! yes carolyn, dawn is correct– they are not the controversial embryonic stem cells that some have moral objection to– they are from your own bone marrow.

insurance seems to be covering it more and more– last few folks i have spoken with have gotten it covered. if you have to pay out of pocket, it now costs $125g — they raised it from when i paid 100g 6 months ago. these are the (discount) costs for the private person– they charge more to insurance companies–

there are other places doing it: ottawa, canada, sao paulo, brazil and other places too. but in the US, its only offered (for cidp) at northwestern via a clinical trial…

as dawn suggested, you can read through my posts– they cover the whole thing– also, i gave a website: [url]www.alicedicroce.com[/url]

best,
