I wish you well. I'm also shaking my head in disbelief. 22 years ago I watched a veterinarian inject a horse with (its own) blood extracted from a neck vein for exactly the same reason - to excite inflamation and "trick" the body into accelerating the healing process. When I questioned her (that's really why I was there ) she quoted an English Equine Vet manual from the 1880's (lot's of strange things in that one - wish I could remember the name but she had an American reprint from the 20's IIRC that she showed me). No centrifuge involved - it was whole blood - but remarkably similar in method and purpose. Fascinating that it's now available from Europe for humans.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
