Default Stem cell transplants and MS

I thought that this was interesting and potentially very promising.

I don't know in how many countries it has regulatory approval.

My sister's specialists kept her on hold telling her they were coming, well she lost her battle with no stem cells. A friend here in my area went over to Dominican Republic over 20 yrs ago and paid for them and she is doing well considering the disease.

I believe my sister was too drugged with all the toxic drugs pushed on her.

I tend to be leery of ms breakthroughs without a history of success behind them?

I really wanted to try the stem cell procedure. There is a place in Chicago that does it and I called and spoke with them. They're very friendly and helpful but I just couldn't feel totally comfortable with it.

It was explained to me and how it was done, etc. (which was a little barbaric I thought) but I just had some nagging "uncomfortableness" with it. Plus, there was no guarantee it would work.

I felt sort of like I was a willing participant in a big experiment. And the biggest drawback for me.....they kept no statistics.

The total cost was $11,000 which included hotel and meals for 3 days for me and whoever came with me. I wish I had more faith in the procedure but with no stats kept how can we judge it's success?

I want to get better but not at the expense of what little mobility I have left.

I think I would feel quite uncomfortable with a procedure without statistical information and yet being put up in a hotel? sounds a wee bit fishy to me. But then stem cell has been a bit dodgy, it does have promise don’t get me wrong, but I think we’re still many many years away from it.
