You're welcome. I asked my Dr, who was only familiar with ATG, about the treatment and he pretty much disregarded the idea. Every Dr doesn't do this because there was a clinical trial performed by the NIH. The NIH failed to replicate the results, in part, because they did not have the facilities to treat the immunosuppressed patients that Johns Hopkins Hospital does (my opinion). Either way, people who've undergone ATG treatment do undergo the High dosage cytoxan treatment. I was asked to speak with a person who'd undergone hATG successfully and relapsed 3 times. The Dr said that they have the best results with patients who respond to ATG. The patients that didn't respond to ATG don't fare as well. I hope this helps.
