We just invited foreign experts for recalibration and testing—it’s been out of operation for an entire month. I recently learned it should be back online soon. Each treatment cycle consists of eight sessions, costing about 11,000 dollars. It’s quite extravagant, so unless the patient’s condition is life-threatening, such as severe brain or heart issues, we generally don’t recommend it to others.
