Hi all,
Greetings from India. Stem cell therapy for PD was a big news here today.

I will find out more about it and keep you posted

I hate to rain on a parade but almost all of the quotes from this link were released last year to the press...it'd be great to hear what progress Kisana has made since he was presented to the media last year, or even better, to hear or watch what he has to say himself in video...but in any event, it is still encouraging that the hospital continues to claim this is a cure, and invite others to participate. It's interesting that several promising things seem to be coming down the pipeline at the same time (especially when you consider that for so long there have been really no options at all). I wonder if one day we will be presented with a "menu" of treatments, and you can walk into your neuro's office, review the menu with him/her, and then announce, "I think I'll have the adult stem cell treatment, with the cells taken from my leg, and a side of ginseng/NADH/ALA-NAC"-with the assurance that it would actually work! What a wonderful thought....and hopefully not toooooo far fetched.

I'll have the embryonics accurately matching my DNA and massed produced for global consumption by Advanced Cell Technology in 08. Using current technology transport replicated cells to damaged area. All over in a nano second.

Don't be sorry, be glad that the hospital continues its belief that this is a cure! I take that as a very strong positive, and they obviously seem to be reaching out to patients in other countries...I do wish that we could get some updated news from Kisana himself, but maybe that's coming soon. I'm just glad someone with PD is feeling better.

I am intrigued by this. Other than this piece of news report, is there any articles published on reputable medical journals? I would like to read it if there is any publications by the doctor himself.

Royal Medical Society earlier this week, they were extremely sceptical of any claimed stem cell therapies for PD.
