The most memorable was a woman in Florida who was on IV antibiotics for Systemic MRSA. The patient's MRSA infection was drug resistant and the usual medications were not working. However, after advising the patient to apply TetraStem directly to her neck and wrist the patient was symptom-free within two months.\"\n\nViaDerma is currently in negotiations to test TetraStem at hospitals in Florida with ...
