no....the procedure IN the book has not been proven...simple as that...has
nothing to do with money...

Jason..do the math...ONE patient needs ONE procedure ie
angioplasty...cardiologist collects fees on ONE procedure...and said fee is
contracted by insurance companies...so he is lucky to get about 50% of what
he bills

"your" procedure on the other hand..is done 3 times a week....let's say for
a month..but probably is longer...doc doing it gets to collect CASH money
for each treatment....patient gets no insurance,,thus no control on amount
doc can and does charge...

you see nothing wrong with THAT doc?? but do with the doc doing
interventions???

yikes...
