My mom is newly diagnosed with ALS. Of course my family is going through the initial shock of it. But we are now looking at options when it comes to slowing progression of the disease. My mom currently isn't on any meds.
My dad has gotten in touch with Dr. Burton Feinerman regarding the stem cell therapy his clinic offers. This doctor is surprisingly readily available to chat, can book her in 2 weeks and get started. I can't even get my own family doc to see me in less than 3 weeks...lol.
So my question is, does anyone have experience with him? I know that stem cell therapy at this point is very hit and miss regarding it maybe slowing progression. I desperately don't want to get my mom's hopes up and see her go through a possibly invasive procedure for it to not work and possibly set her back further. But...I have to check if this is something looking into further.
Thank you.
