the same claims can be seen on "do no harm," paradoxically found at www.stemcellresearch.org. david prentice at "family research council" is listed as one of the founders of this organization.

the other founders are associate professor of this, chairman emeritus of that, and not one of these "esteemed" gentlemen responded when i wrote pointing out the GDNF/adult stem cell lie, along with pretty much everything else they said and say about PD and ASCs and asking them to remove the following information (and much more) from their website:

"2005 British researchers performed the first ever pathology follow-up (see original study below) of one patient treated for Parkinson’s disease. The study showed that the protein stimulated sprouting of new neurons in the brain. Love S. et al., “Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor induces neuronal sprouting in human brain.” Nature Medicine 11, 703-704, July 2005.

2005 Scientists at the University of Kentucky treated ten Parkinson’s patients with a protein to stimulate the patients’ own brain stem cells and showed significant improvement in symptoms. Slevin JT, et al., Improvement of bilateral motor functions in patients with Parkinson disease through the unilateral intraputaminal infusion of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, Journal of Neurosurgery 102, 216-222, February 2005."
