I would like to know above all if it is or when it'll be available in Europe or, better, here in ITALY, and then if there are anyone here around who have already tried it, and obtaining good results or not... Please, help me if you can: I need another hope 'cause I've already tried with everything, surgery included when I was 21, and now I'm really in serious condition... You can answer by e-mail if you prefer (to shemoon@tin.it); I don't know the "policy" of this newsgroup so well: it is allowed to speak around a specific commercial product? Thanks a lot... .
