I've heard different takes on that. You highlight the immunosuppresent issue and that is a concern for me in considering this - doesn't seem worth it to me. I'm also very skeptical of the 2013 date, particularly just the accessibility and insurance that probably would prohibit most from going this route even if they wanted. We'll see... I hope that this, along with other research paths and prevention efforts, will one day lead us to a true "cure."Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.com
