On the subject of clinical trials - I was at an MS Research Forum on the Weekend put on by the Australian MS Research Foundation in Sydney - a speaker at the forum was a guy called Richard Burton, from Northwestern Uni, Chicago. His talk was amazing and I cried when I saw pictures of people recovered from lupus and MS. Seems he's been going down this path for some years now - has data of 5+ years and once the stem cell therapy has occured - (providing they get you and your organs early enough) they can stop it for good - no more drugs needed. Can you imagine?

I'm new to this chat room and found it searching for feedback on a place called X-cell Centre in Germany - that apparently performs Stem Cell therapy - on your own stem cells, so it takes the ethical concerns of using embryos out of it. I'm no expert - but from the little reading I've done not all Stem Cell therapy is the same.

If you get a chance at a clinical trial - I'd go for it!

Has anyone got any knowledge of anyone whose undergone treatment at the X-cell Center (Cologne or Dusseldorf) - I am seriously considering it.

I was diagnosed this year after I lost the sight in my eye (plus other stuff) - it's partially recovered but the MS wants the other eye - it tells me every day - so I'm pretty desperate to find more than just the capaxone they've got me on at the moment. If anyone knows anything more on stem cell therapy I'd love to hear from them.
