Default Adult Stem Cells

There was a report on our local news yesterday about adult stem cells being used for illness like MS. While I usually zone out during the news, this peaked my interest.

They interviewed a guy who had been dx in 1995, his leg had been numb and he was losing his vision. Five years ago he had 5 days worth of chemo therapy to completely destroy his immune cells and then his own stem cells were harvested from his own blood or bone marrow and used to rebuild his immune system. He has had 5 years without symptoms and doesn't take any DMDs. Has anyone heard of this?

here is a link to the site where you can watch the video. I hope this works. Just curious if anyone knows anything about this.
