:? Hi All

My girlfriend has recently been diagnosed with ALS and has been in touch with many Associations here in Australia. Just yesterday she was telling me of a month long tratment in china that costs a lot of money. Involved is 8 hrs a day of stem cell treatment, accupuncture, massage, reflexology etc....... There is only 2 ppl that have been there that she can contact and given that this forum has so many members I wondered if anyone has been involved with or heard of this treatment so that I can pass as much info to her as possible.............

One of the couples that have been is planning on returning for a second round............this in itself worries me.

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Cathy
 
It should worry you. the conditions in china arent like the ones here . I know of someone who went to china he came back much better however it was short lived and he return again after a year and didnt see any improvement He is a lot poorer. It cost a lot of money 10,000 and up. I am sorry but there is no cure no where yet. Pat
 
Thanks Patricia

:) Hi Patricia

We realise there is no cure as yet.......... She wants to prolong her life as much as possible.. All good and well if they can guarantee a prolonged stage of her life while still well..........however she doesnt want the yucky stages experienced by her brother within a short time to be prolonged..........Garry was only with us a year from diagnosed to the end.

Thank you for your words of your friends experience.......... I will pass all info on to her.

There have been many members here and on other forums that have spent from $20,000 to $100,000 on treatments in China and the Caribbean. Ask yourself why these treatments are only done in third rate or 3rd world countries. Some people have shown some improvement for 3 months or so but I know of not one person that has shown marked improvement. Believe me, if it worked I'd sell my soul for it. Right now it doesn't work. Please tell your friend not to waste their money. It is not going to work.

Hi Al

I am trying to do exactly that..........At the same time tough she has vowed to be positive.............so i am trying to find a way that will not go against that............ I am positive that she will do all she can to be well as long as she can...........however that kind of money to me is better speant having the time of what life is left not buying 3 more months................Rilutek will do that without spending that kind of money..............I suppose tho the choice is ultimately hers and her husbands to be.......we will support whatever she decides....meanwhile through this forum and her research hopefully she will find the right info first..........Keep up the Great Work..If i didnt have my head up my arse when Garry was suffering from ALS I know this would have been helpful then too.

Thanks Al :)
 
Poeple want to grasp at any hope but somegtimes false hope is the worst kind. I hope they decide to use their money for a wonderful trip that will leave her loved ones with great memories of their time together. That sounds positive but also realistic to me. JMO. Cindy
 
Thanks CindyM

I agree....I guess I was hoping a little also that someone would post not that it cured them as I know that would be unrealistic but that it had helped.........I think I knew in my heart that this wouldn't happen though....I really hope she makes the right decision.

Thanks Again Cindy The work you do here is also great and appreciated a lot.

You are welcome, Cathy. Glad to be of help whenever and however possible.

Mexico

I have a friend that is saying she is going to mexico for treatment. I don't know? Or maybe I do!

Lorie:?:
 
My friend went to Mexico for $50,000 and is no better off.

I totally agree with Al, don't let these kind of people fool you.

I totally agree with Al, believe me he's right I am mexican and live in Mexicali, Baja California, México; there is no cure here or everywhere else, when my husband was sick my daugher sent for some "WONDERFUL MIRACLE CURE PILLS" somewhere in China their price $500 dlls. for a month's supply, he took them for month's, they didn't do any good to my husband, then she tried, some shark embryion shots, which according to a person here in Baja (Tijuana) was a miracle cure, nothing worked.

Don't let these kind of people fool you.

They are only quacks.

China

Here in Mobile a few years ago. A guy with ALS went to China for treatment. He came back, progressed rapidly and died. If I can find the article I will post it.

Don't waste your money. Stem cells don't work. Maybe later but not now.
