Re: did your insurance pay?

If you are old enough for Medicare it will pay for it. I have Medicare Advantage which matches Medicare. My doctor's staff worked with the...

I have not seen Dr. Dineen mentioned here before. Where is he and what do you think of him?

Do a search on FT for Dr. Dineen, lots of references to him on FT and the VED Protocol Therapy paper he wrote.
