Yes Jeff shocking it was - had to close the email before reading it completely on my phone and wait until I got home.
I just spoke with Malte and I'm penciled in for 4 March. But I have a lot to do before then (contact insurance to see if there's any hope of coverage, speak with employer again, etc.).
I also want to get a second opinion from Dr. Clavel and Dr. Zigler - can someone provide a contact person / info rather than the website, or is that the best method for a speedy consult from both of them?

Perhaps Dr Zigler now uses the Mobi-C as it has been FDA approved for multilevel? If you do see Dr Zigler, he is conservative to a fault and may not want to do all four levels?
As you noted, good luck getting your insurance to pay. I don't recall anyone coming to this site receiving a state side Mobi-C.
Good luck, Jeff
