Not sure there are too many that support him but there are more coming on board. Even my own RE (who works for IVFA as well more or less told me it was a waste of time!)
He was on a documentary on NK cells and mc on SBS on the 11th July called "Waiting for a Heartbeat" , filmed when he was in London.
There is another RI in Sydney Dr Matthias (sp?) that a lot of the girls have been to and had success with as well. He follows a different protocol but has good results!
I found my receipt for my immunology BTs. I've listed the Item # as well. If you want the full names I can supply them but some are awfully long! You should be able to have these done by your normal pathology centre. #PROTS NH APC NH PROC NH ATH NH No item #
FBE 65070
LUPA 65137
GLUC 66500
INS LH FSH TSH TEST SHBG 66734
HCY 66752
PHOS AB 71117
ENDOMYSIAL AB GLIA GLIG 71164
CYT KARYO 73289
FVL 73308
PEI 73907Query...this is on the bottom SCP-985 (not sure what that is).
Please remember, if these come back 'within normal range' there is another BT that needs to be done - it's the one that's the secret cloak and dagger one that needs to be done by a RI: Peripheral blood NK cells
Thromboelastography.Again, I tested 'normal' for this one too. It was only the biopsy that showed up the correct results.
The steroid is Prednisone. Some IVF doctors use it as a matter of course now, not sure why. It's Gavin's preferred drug. Dr Matthias prefers IVIG, but there is a lot of not so nice data around about it as it's made from animal products...I think....probably best if you google that if you're interested.
Leis, I'll PM you.
