I just found this article from 2004.

Professor Raisman said something totally different then.

From The Times
December 18, 2004
Wait a bit for conventional help, say scientists
By Mark Henderson, Science Correspondent

Quote:
Professor Raisman is also sceptical of Dr Huang’s claim that OECs can help patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the motor- neurone disease that afflicts Professor Stephen Hawking.

“That ALS should improve with this is an absolute bolt from the blue,” he said. “There is no conceivable physiological mechanism by which it could work. Spinal-cord injury and ALS involve totally different mechanisms of disease.”
