Hey, hey, hey! "Geiger’s team is developing a drug containing osteopontin and the activating protein to encourage blood stem cells to behave more youthfully. “It should boost the immune system of elderly people,” he says." Hopefully an osteopontin formula will have no negative side effect. Who wouldn't want to be youthful again.

Looking forward to your news about the second assessment.

Today is my last day of testing. I'm off meds right now and can feel it for sure. Home tonight.

You have pets? The critters must miss you, will be happy to see you come through the door. Thanks for what you did for the researchers and all PWPD.

Two long haired mini dachshunds. They'll be happy to see me for sure. Being part of this study has been my pleasure.

In general do you feel better from the infusions?

[sharron2]

How much young blood or plasma did the study require? Would anyone consider having family donors provide this for their PD loved one?

I hope they are able to assess your trial in a timely fashion as we all wait with baited breath for help for our PWP to have some good new for treatment somewhere.

Thank you for your submitting to this trial.

I had eight infusions of young plasma. That's an interesting question about donors. I am also hopeful that we see quantified results from this trial sooner rather than later, maybe within a year instead of two!

Hello Nan. Thanks for the update. Be careful and don't join any sororities after getting all that young blood.

[NanCyclist in reply to Idofotos]

Not to worry!

just found your feed. where did you go for the transfusions.?

[NanCyclist in reply to Islandhappy]

Stanford. Dr. Helen Bronte-Stewart's lab. There is a 100 person wait list for 3 slots. You can contact them if you're interested in a Phase II trial, presuming that happens.
