Why don't you have your doctor call Dr. Shoemaker ? Dr. Shoemaker will speak with any physician about his protocol and you can then do the same thing in australia with your physician consulting with Dr. Shoemaker on the phone. Others have done this with positive results. Your questions can opnly be answered by Dr. Shoemaker through your physician consulting with him. All the best to you !
