Yep. Back when we had "Grassroots Connection," Dr. Levesque was one of the first people we interviewed. He used autologous (the patient's own) cells and implanted them into the brain of Dennis Turner. Levesque got a new lab out of it and was singing the praises of Turner's 90% improvement. After checking up on this claim, Turner had had DBS surgery first, but Levesque said it was "turned off" when these measures were taken.

I don't know if Paula can find that old interview or not, but it was interesting. Then a lady active on the Toronto Listserv investigated - even found Turner and talked with him - but the guy progressed pretty rapidly and dropped from the news feeds.

There have been many like this. (sigh)
