I have personally experienced, weight loss, great improvement in my fibromyalgia, improvement in neuropathy; the only exercise I could do a year ago was water walking, Now I can get alot of exercise,including bike riding, with my grand children! ! !

I am truly excited about this treatment. I am very impressed with it.
However, let me make note: I am not a doctor. I have no connection to the people administering the trial. They are professional and stress trial prodocols.
I will ask them for any specific information anyone asks for. I truely believe this can help many people.
I want to be careful not to give any misinformation.

PIVIT costs: some insurances cover it. I will look into the specific costs..
I was approved and a candidate for this trial, becaues I had many of the criteria, I have posted the criteria in a blog. You only need one. Of course they reviewed my medical record, also.
