I have followed his thinking and his model for years. Thank you, Dr. Grossgold.

The drug is administered directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous drip into the arm. During the treatment, the patient lies still in a calm setting. The effect is usually immediate and can last weeks. How Many Sessions at The Grossgold Clinic are Typically Needed? Patients typically receive a series of six infusions over two to three weeks. Typically, most treatments last, on average, two hours. This is what's called the "induction phase" of the treatment. A doctor monitors the patient's response to the treatment. The patient stops treatment if the first phase is not effective. The patient moves onto the "maintenance phase" if he or she shows signs of improvement. At this stage patients typically return to The Grossgold Clinic for one infusion every two to six weeks. At this point, the treatment can last as long as the patient desires and shows improvement.
