I'm hearing great things about Stem Cell. Both of my ALS Specialist Doctors I have seen see excellent results in this testing. They both told me good and bad about this.
#1. Once the stem cell is implanted, it's not a guarantee that it will make its way to the nerve damage area and repair.
#2: They both say the stem cells produce at an extremely slow rate (1 mm a day).
#3: On the flip side they say that their are nerve sensors in the body and they may be able to transplant into these areas and get a better result.
I'm just learning about this info, but this was what has been passed on to me. I love both my doctors, who are dedicated to finding a cure. Though, some other good news is the Rilutek/Lithium combo trial starting. Patients at my clinic not eligible for the trial have reported great outcomes thus far!
