TCD testing is useful for evaluating certain patients who have strokes. However, the routine testing and monitoring Hammesfahr recommends would result in considerable unnecessary expense. Florida Medicare regards vasodilation therapy for stroke rehabilitation or other brain damage as "investigational" and therefore does not cover the cost of TCD studies (CPT codes 93886, 93888) associated with this treatment [1].

Nice find - a fact, and it explains what Hammesfahr is really about. I'm sure though, that there was some insidious conspiracy betweem Michael Schiavo, Judge Greer, the hospice, the malpracice inurance company, and the other doctors to suspend this doctor's license.

Yep, Dr. H is all about HIS technique of restoring bloodflow to damaged areas of the brain. His technique will not repair dead portions of the brain, as in the Schiavo case. A self-promoter who is giving the Schindlers false hope.
