Dear Marleen- My wife's Lyme doctor has referred several of his patients to

the HBO center in Chico, California. The airfare, motel and meals for 3

weeks costs about $4000.00, and the treatments cost another $2850.00.

He says his patients have had excdllent results from the treatment, and we

expect a referral in the next couple of months.

I pray you will have a favorable experience without undergoing the expense

we are looking at.

God Bless

Colby Van Atta

Oh geez, I heard it was expensive but I didn't realize it was that much! Well,

now if

I am accepted I won't complain about the 30-45 minute drive 6 times a week

for 4 weeks. I hope I am accepted so we can at least participate in a genuine

study that may help others.

Sincerely.

Marleen
