Q1:confused: . I have been hearing about "embryonic stem cell" treatement for MND. Some say Good, other say BAD.... What is the truth? Are there any sideeffects ??

:confused:Q2. Once doctor said: The treatment is Stem Cell therapy using the patients own bone marrow cells which are explanted and implanted after processing the same either by Intravenous Infusion,angiography or lumber puncture

Is this true? Which technique is better (Intravenous Infusion,angiography or lumber puncture) ???


:confused:Q3. Dr. Chirayu Padhiar from [lifecellindia.com]says Mesenchymal stem cells are effective in treatment of motor neuron disease


Someone please guide , Please does anyone have answer to any or all of my questions?

Sorry to say but the answer to Q1 is stem cells from any source do not cure MND. Side effects can be infection,paralysis,death. Q2. Neither is better because none work for MND. Q3 That doctor is a liar. He will take your money and when your loved one does not get better he will say that he did not have the will to get better or offer to do a "free" second procedure if you pay just for the cells and who knows where he got them. Save your money.

AL.
