Radical new therapy for Parkinson’s will use stem cell transplants

[Baron1]

Lab-grown nerve cells will replace those destroyed by disease – scientists hope treatment may be available in five years.

I remain very hopeful regarding stem cells, but it seems that a major breakthrough for Parkinson's Disease has been "five years away" for fifty years...😌

Professor Barker's study is just starting but aren't other studies in Japan & the US under way already?

[jimcaster in reply to Zardoz]

Yes. I believe stem cell trials in Japan began in 2018.

I had a type of stem cell therapy ( cord cells) either no effect or they helped something I can’t quantify

[Baron1 in reply to Manypony]

Good Morning,

When you say "You had a type of Stem Cell therapy", where (company that performed the procedure), and why did you chose the therapy? You claim it may have helped, or maybe not, extrapolate your answer please. Also, was it by intravenously administered or intrathecal, or intracoronary administered?

[Manypony in reply to Baron1]

it was at NaturesCure in Portland Oregon. Both intravenous and carefully through my sinuses. I say it “didn’t help.” But I have been diagnosed 3 years now stubbornly avoiding C/L in favor of mucuna currently and although my symptoms morph and morph and morph some more I wouldn’t call it progression. Thank you for asking. I’m keenly interested in reversing this syndrome and with the support of my traditional Chinese medicine practitioner “undiagnose” myself eventually

RIght there with you, on all counts. And so the idea of manufactured stem cells is a bit scary to me. But who knows what will "work".

Thank you very much for the post. Please see below a link to a NoSilverBullet interview of R Barker.

It is disappointing that the mainstream media never follow these types of research / trials and report on their progress. Thanks for the post.

[Manypony]

this is hopeful
