Hi Subway,
If you will read the post by Lillie in this same thread you will see the results of this "treatment" you are considering. It does not work. There is no cure for ALS, period.
I went to the page you suggested and read this, "OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: With the procedure of cell HLA-matching, the surgical transplant of olfactory ensheathing cells procedure by using stereotactic technique was performed on September 10, 2006. 100 µliters containing approximately 2,000,000 cells was injected into the corona radiata of the patient’s frontal lobe bilaterally based on the Flair MR imagin".
The great results for this patient who was basically paralyzed, was that she could move her tongue a little better? And her bank account was drained to the tune of $20,000 to $50,000, just so she could move her tongue a little better. Come on now get real, face the real world. It did not cure her of anything. Is this the kind of torture you want for your Grandma? Much less the false hope this gives to people.
This scam does not work, has not worked, and will not work. Do a search above on the search icon and enter stem cell treatment and see what you find. 100% of the people who have tried it gave their mony for NO results, for nothing.
I'm sorry but when I see other ALS patients being suckered into these scams I really get mad. Right now they are discovering the country of China is putting poison in our dog, cat food, and now this week they found contaminants in the chicken we are buying from them. God knows what else is in the foods we are buying from them, just because businesses can buy CHEAPER foods from them than from our own farmers and manufactures.
Do you think I would trust them to open up my loved one's skull and put in some experimental stem cell that they got from a pig, sheep, goat, or whatever? NEVER.
Hey, it's your choice what you do with your money. As for me my money is better spent on a nice vacation with my loved ones. Something they can remember after I am gone.
God Bless
