Stem Cell Success for MS

I remain really hopeful that stem cell research will change our world.

The sad thing about stem cells is the high $$$. So many simply can't afford it. Each injection I had cost about $1500.00 - shipping of cells taken from storage, injection, travel etc. They were helpful the first 4 times and then tapered off. I had 6 injections over a year. I had adipose surgery to obtain the cells. Love the idea but much work needs to be done to refine it and reduce expense. Thanks, Jim, for keeping us up to date on this procedure!

Hi! I don't know for sure, but I don't think the stem cell treatment you received involved pluripotent cells which are just in human trials now. There are very, very few truly legitimate stem cell trials underway right now, but I think the recently begun trials in Japan and Australia are the only two which are legitimate.

You are correct! Someday, maybe Australia and Japan will come through for all of us!

We can only hope!
