Hi,

Can anyone tell me anything about stemcelletreatment ?

Does it actually work on ataxia / SCA on children? I have daughter (3 years) who is diagnose with degenerative cerebellum. We are still waiting for the Final diagnose - genetic bloodtest is being analysed.

It looks to good to be true.

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. Please talk to a neurologist about stem cell treatments. Yes, there is much ongoing research that may someday prove beneficial, but the stem cell treatments available today in India and China are unproven and dangerous. The advertising you see online is misleading. It is not a miracle cure. Maybe someday, but not today.

Most importantly please talk to a neurologist before you try anything you see on the internet.
