where'd you get that figure -
of 10-17% death rate? When I spoke with hopkins, that is NOT the data they gave to me. Nor have I found that in my prelim research.
From my research, as for HiCy deaths, there has been one - and it was not in a MS patient - nor was it necessarily due to the HiCy - but rather they performed a medical procedure on someone too soon after they had the tx - and their immunity (or lack thereof) couldn't handle it.
Also, they aren't saying a "high likelihood" of MS starting over. It is a possibility - however, in an effort to thwart that, the protocol now involves beginning copaxone 30-45 days after the HiCy treatment - hoping to repair and retrain the brain. (or something like that!)
Please - take nothing I say here as fact - as my brain doesn't work the best lately. LOL
