Whether it works or not respectfully, this is how medicine is advanced. My Aunt had Liniers(sp) disease in her ears which caused her to lose balance. A managed provider refuses to pay for the experimental treatment and surgery that she paid for at the University of Michigan. She was lucky, it worked.

My mother had pancreatic cancer, her surgeon was man deep into the experimental area. My mother had this man do the work. The hospital physicians wanted and kept telling us to take her off the machines let her die. Told her doctor, he walked in an ripped them a new one, and they backed off, my mother was covered totally. What he did was against the odds, pancreatic cancer is more often fatal, he was experimenting on my mother, and he teaches advanced medicine at the University of Michigan. She pulled out of it as he predicted, went on to see her great-grandchildren. It was a longshot, a total experiment, that man prevailed, but only after he stepped on the traditionalists in medicine.
