Welcome!
Hi Sandra,
I'm glad to meet you and so sorry that you still have pain. I am interested in your case as my homeopathic doctor is from South Africa, and her daughter there had a single level ADR done last year with great success so far.
She did have more troublesome levels, but her doctor chose to only do one on her as well...very conservative there maybe? So far the pain is gone.
Maybe if you need more information on that we could exchange information later.
May I ask what the cost was for that surgery? You can PM me if you like or not at all if that is too much information  I am comparing costs from different countries for my surgery too.
