Default Autologous stem cell

I read a story this week in the paper about a local woman who has raised £20k to go to Russia for this treatment in attempt to control her M.S. Id love to hear everyone's thoughts on this type of procedure. So this isnt to regenerate ( I'm sceptical about how feasible this is anyway), rather, this is to reset the immune system by wiping it out with chemo I believe then re introducing stem cells from your own body to re populate immune cells. The hope is you wont have a crazy autoimmune system thereafter.
I don't know exactly why M.S is the target at the moment and not a full array of autoimmune problems
