Stem cell treatment for CFS + Lymes.

I am seriously thinking of spending a "fortune" for stem cell treatment in Frankfurt but trying to get as much information I can on the benefits of the treatment before I make my final decision.

I don't want to feel even worse, and I have read somewhere that this can happen.

Please can anyone give me some hope and guidance on this subject.

Thank you in advance.

Experts discuss stem cell treatments for cancer, neurosurgery, orthopedics, pediatrics

The use of stem cells in medical treatments already is yielding exciting results and may yield greater medical advances in the future. At a recent event hosted by Rush University Medical Center, experts at Rush discussed the role of stem cells in neurosurgery, orthopedics, pediatrics and oncology and how their breakthrough research may dramatically improve the lives of people afflicted by disease and severe injury. An edited transcript of that discussion appears below.

I have read that CFS, ME, and Fibro were only named about ten years after the introduction of levothyroxine and blood tests. Meaning that those whose thyroid hormones were around 'normal' wouldn't be prescribed sufficient hormones to relieve symptoms and I also assume they've been trying to develop medications to resolve all three of the above.

One of our deceased Advisers stated that the above were due to a Resistance to the thyroid hormone T3 and needed T3 to be prescribed in order to relieve symptoms. Levothyroxine is T4 only (and inactive) and it has to convert to T3. T3 is the only active thyroid hormone that is needed in our millions of T3 receptor cells in order for our body to function normally. The heart and brain have the most receptor cells.

Thank you for your reply. I was really interested in going to the Infusio clinic in Frankfurt. Do you have any knowledge of their stem cell therapy for Lymes?

I've done a lot of stem cell research. It's most effective for orthopedic, ligament, tendon, etc. issues when performed correctly. Does the Frankfurt clinic claim to help Lyme & CFS? There are cautions. In the US, & I don't know about Germany, stem cell clinics are popping up everywhere & charging a fortune for bogus procedures performed by untrained doctors. This can cause harm or have no effect at all. You don't want embryonic stem cells because they're dead tissue. The best stem cell info
