This sounds too good to be true, but the Wall Street Journal is usually pretty reliable information.

Excerpts:
The study just published in the June 3 New England Journal of Medicine reports beneficial results from deep brain stimulation (DBS), an extreme and invasive surgical procedure which until now has been one of the most effective weapons in the war on the disease. However, International Stem Cell Institute (ISCI), a leading US based organization in stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine, believes Parkinson's symptoms can be alleviated -- almost to the point of full restoration -- using placenta stem cells. Administering these stem cells, an easy and painless treatment, avoids the risks and costs of surgery. And unlike the wait for future drugs and clinical trials, stem cell treatment for Parkinson's is not years off in the future but available to Parkinson's sufferers right now.

"At ISCI we've successfully treated over 3,000 patients with many serious chronic diseases and we're putting a huge focus on helping Parkinson's patients. Our procedure represents a dramatic new advance in treating the disease, we're seeing outstanding improved functions in advanced patients who can't be satisfactorily controlled with drugs or high risk surgery," says Anderson. The therapeutic results from placental adult stem cell therapy is clearly effective at relieving the symptoms, and can provide a better quality of life for those in moderate to severe stages of the disease. ISCI is currently offering Parkinson's patients the opportunity to undergo these innovative, less painful and less invasive medical treatments at a reasonable cost compared to brain surgery. "The families and individuals we work with are reporting truly amazing results," Anderson maintains. "Some patients show amazing recovery from the nonstop shaking, regaining their balance and fluidity of motion. Their overall color is better and in some cases full range of movement is being restored." Remarkably patients are recovering their ability to speak, to use handwriting and utensils, and showing decreasing problems with incontinence, swallowing and drooling
