Georgia Support

I called the Edelson Center in Atlanta, Georgia and the nurse inform me that they have to run test which will run about $2000 total in addition to $150 per treatments. Also cash upfront, not insurance information. She said that some insurance coverage will not cover it, so that's why you have to pay when services are render.

AloneinGA,

But what did she say about the effectiveness of the treatment? That's the most important thing! I haven't called the Edelson Center back yet myself. Tell us everything about your discussion with them!

AloneinGA,

Update....I called the Edelson Center. And I am VERY excited. How much did you ask them? Colleen, the patient relations nurse chatted with me for about 15 minutes. It was her opinion that once the immune system is set straight then I probably wouldn't ever have to worry about HSV again. She also said that they DO administer ozone treatments. She wasn't pushy and didn't try to sell me on treatment or a consultation. She just laid out the facts for me and told me to contact her whenever I was ready to come in. I'm going to go in for a consultation after my next paycheck comes in (in about a week). Consultation runs $170 for half an hour. This is reasonable, considering that if a consultation fee wasn't charged there would be people in the center 'consulting' with the doctors all day. Colleen also asked me what state I was calling her from...apparently she has been receiving a fair amount of calls for ozone therapy from around the nation. Maybe I am getting a little TOO excited about this too soon...but whatever. If the treatment helps and I believe in it, then my problem will most likely be solved. AloneinGA, I think we should do this together. Not together in person, but kind of 'in sync'. We could both go have a consultation and then discuss via email what our impressions were, if we think it is safe, the integrity of the Edelson Center, etc. Let me know what you think of this idea. Hope to hear from you very soon.

Believe.

Good Idea. I have the money for the consultation now, so I be calling her tomorrow to schedule an appointment. I didn't ask her if she thinks it will work, but when she discuss the testing I felt that by doing so Dr Edelson can get to the root of the problem.

Hopefully, we will have some good news to share in a few weeks

Doctors Visit

I had half of the testing done. It was very easy. Check blood pressure, urinalysis, and draw blood. (the usual) I should be receiving my first dosage of oxygen therapy by the end of this month. So I'll let you guys know what happens in a couple of weeks.

By the way, the doctor suggested taking lysine and vitamin supplements to assist in speeding the healing process.

Hey that's awesome... sorry to intrude in Georgia, but I was wondering if you can keep us informed in the treatment zone as well? I may be able to copy the posts if its easier...

Thanks!!

Edelson Center in ATL

I am sorry for getting everyone excited about the treatment at the Edelson center. After $1300 for testing, I discover that they will not let you start the ozone treatment unless you are able to receive treatment once a week for the first couple of months. Since each treatment cost about $150, most people including myself cannot afford it.

If any of you discover away to minimize or stop outbreaks let me know. I haven't gave up hope and I hope you guys haven't either.

Please don't get too excited about the Edelson Center. Check out this link:

Best thing to do is wait a few years for a viable vaccine or treatment to be developed. Several biotech companies are doing some exciting research for a viable theraputic solution or, if we are lucky, a cure! So, be careful - there are alot of people out there willing to take advantage by making outrageous claims.
