Stem Cell Treatment for MS

[Chris]

My father has recently been diagnosed with Primary Progressive MS.
I have been told that some people have had Stem Cell treatment with great
results.
Is this true and if so can anyone recommend any institute for me to contact?
I understand that this treatment is prohibited in most countries but not
all.
If you have any information or advise I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris. I would start with the MS Trust (their website is easily
found). They will have all the up-to-date info on MS research etc. I
know that some people with MS in the States died as a result of the
early stem cell experiments but am not sure of the current position on
this.

One thing you can be sure of with MS - when 'they' think they have come
up with a reliable and enduring remedy or cure the news will be
trumpeted loudly around the UK.

In meantime, it might be worthwhile for you to take a look at the MSRC
(Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre) for upbeat ways of managing the
condition.

Best wishes,

Helen W:)

the stem cell research was started to help with many different similar
symptom diseases. if you have ever seen the movie Lorenzo's oil, then you
know another group that is interested in the stem cell treatment. my husband
goes to their site every so often to see what they have posted there. the
movie is a true story and unless the father has pasted away he is still
active in the research. look that up and you may find links to the info you
need.

I have ms. he started doing research into any treatment shortly after we
found out.

MS is definitely an uncommon disease in India. Certain clinical characteristics, previously noted individually, have been confirmed to exist in India. When compared to MS in Western countries, the Indian cases show a relatively high incidence of optic nerve involvement (both at the onset and during the course of the disease). Neuromyelitis optica is also seen more frequently. MS may be more common in northern as compared to southern India
