The forum was temporarily removed because a few days ago there were problems with misuse of information.

The forum was designed to promote comfort, communication, and support among Dr. Brizman's patients as this process is difficult and support is often greatly needed.

This forum is not to discuss other treatment plans and ideas that go against Dr. Brizman's protocol. If you wish to participate in other treatments, of course, you absolutely should exercise that prerogative. However, focusing on multiple treatment methods is not advisable with chronic illness as then the process will be  disrupted.

Patients going through this kind of process need help to get through it, not to have cause for confusion. I have received many complaints over time regarding concerns of this sort and patients pulling away from the forum due to this dynamic.

This should be a place of positive energy to share the struggle and encourage one another and a place to listen to one another in this process.

I have been doing this for a decade and a half and I have seen people go through this very quickly, but, I have also seen many people struggle through this very slowly. what ever the process is-it isn't easy.
So reach out to one another and hold each other's hands and if you choose this path as the one you want to embark upon, please trust this process.

Dr. B
