With 99% of alpha synuclein contained in the red blood cells that leaves 1% contained in the plasma. Correspondingly, since this study involves only transplanted plasma, I doubt if this study will show significant changes to PD symptoms but I could be wrong. I'm glad they're doing this study though as the young blood may invigorate cells in other ways which might improve symptoms! |

Thanks for posting this Badboy. I just emailed them...I live about 20 minutes from Stanford and this study sounds interesting.
I see that the age cut off is 50 though - I'm 46. Not sure if they will take any exceptions but we'll see!

I have been accepted for the trial and will begin in January. i was told that if the outcomes merit it, our infusions will be extended for another 4 weeks with travel expenses paid. They are not paid for the initial trial. I am 71.
Anagirl, would you like to meet while I'm there? Last edited by Nan Cyclist; 12-09-2016 at 11:34 AM. Reason: forgot something |
