My father has ALS, he can no longer talk and he is beginning to have problems with breathing. We haven't had very much luck with doctors. My parents feel so alone.
Just this week my father found a web site about stem cell therapy in Costa Rica. Supposedly this therapy prolongs life and won't repair the damage thats already been done. My mother contacted the doctor and set up for this to take place in April. My concern is what are the risks in doing this? Does anyone know of anyone that has had this procedure done? Does anyone have any insight or information about this they can share. If this is something that can be a break through or is helping it seems like we would be hearing more about this. I am very worried about him doing this, I am also very hopeful this may change things for the better.
