: My mother had a severe stroke two years ago and our family is thinking about having her treated at the Florida Neurological Institute in Clearwater. Does anyone have any experience with Dr. W. Hammesfahr and his use of vasodialator drugs? I'd love to hear about your experiences, good or bad. The literature from the institute claims that the treatment is effective for over 80 percent of their patients. We are hesitant to try this treatment without hearing more from former patients. I'd greatly appreciate your input!

During a search on the web, I found this link:

My dad had a stroke and is weakening. If Dr. Hammesfahr's claim is true, I would definitely try it. But I am really afraid that it could be a scam.
