‘My Parkinson’s cell treatment is like a miracle,’ says James DeLittle
 

Anyone have any thoughts as to the legitimacy of DeLittle and the stem cell treatment he received in the Ukraine? Why does it seem to good to be true?

A MAN has become the first person in the UK to undergo a pioneering stem-cell treatment for Parkinson’s disease

James DeLittle claims the ground-breaking procedure is a “miracle in the making” and has produced an immediate improvement. Before undergoing treatment in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, the 49-year-old could not perform even the most basic physical task such as touching his nose with his eyes closed. His balance was also so poor that he had broken his nose, thumb and two ribs in falls over just two months.

But within hours of the £7,000 treatment he noticed a change. Mr DeLittle said: “After just one of the two treatments, the doctor asked me to touch my nose with my eyes closed and I was spot on – I couldn’t believe it.

“My Parkinson’s feels like there is a spring which constantly pulls me to the left-hand side. But immediately after the treatment the force didn’t feel as strong and my balance was much better. “The immediate effects are very impressive.”

The clinic in Ukraine told Mr DeLittle they had treated more than 100 patients with Parkinson’s and said there were improvements in 75 per cent of cases. They claimed treatment reduced tremor and rigidity as well as improving cognitive and gait functions.

Thanks for article.

As much as I'd love to believe this is all legit, it sounds too much like the Xcell Stem Cell center that was recently closed by gov't officials in Germany. There was much discussion here about XCell, you can search the forum if interested.

I also noticed that they didn't say where the stem cells come from (are they yours, someone else's (:eek:), or animal?)-rather a huge issue I would think.

I think this was the place EmCell

Buyer Beware
 

Much caution. Many snake-oil salesmen in this game.

Any change to "severe symptoms" will seem miraculous to the patient who is suffering.
