Jay Pasricha patent 6808702

[Guest guest]

I emailed Dr Pasricha, below is his reply.

He wants to chat, maybe we can all come up with questions. Help me!

I believe some combination of vitamins can help. Will start on L-

Arginine again. I have a version from CVS called Arginine TR Plus

which they say lasts 12 hours, and produces nitric oxide all day. It

is a big pill but later in the day after a Coke I can get it down.

I also take Magnesium 500 mg,vitamin D3 2000iu as well as Lotrel (BP)

and Alluprinal for my gout ( as necessary). Once in a while

NitroQuick not necessarly for the heart.

My main problem is in the regurgitation, if I could stop it I could

gain weight. It is definately from the stomach as I can clean out the

e with a Coke. I eat soups , Ensure, Cokes, pasta Choclate ,ice cream

and some bread. Some days I believe I have defeated Achalasia!!!!!!!!!

I am sure Dr. Pasricha will monitor this site.

Ray

Thanks for your email. I used to be an advisor on this group (one of

my former patients had started this several years ago). Because of my

move to Stanford, I had dropped off but would be happy to help again

in any way I can.

As far as I know, in this country we are the main group looking at

neural stem cell replacement as a cure for achalasia (and other

disorders of the enteric nervous system).

Perhaps you and I can chat and we can discuss how I can synergize

with your group both to help all of you but also to push the field

ahead.

Subject: Achalasia

I found your patent 6808702 referenced on the Achalasia site below.

achalasia/messages

This site has 1700 members who discuss achalasia. I am 78 years old

and developed Achalasia 2-3 years ago. I have not had an operation

yet, just a bit of 16 mm balloon dilations.

It is a terrible disease as I thought I had gastroparesis first but

the nuclear test said I was on the high side. Later with the

manometry test said I had achalasia. I am sure they are both related.

I have found that magnesium 500 mg and nitroglycerine tablets really

help me, so I have held off on an operation that would destroy the

LES. Have lost a lot of weight .

What I want to report to the group what you can tell us who are the

experts in the Achalasia research field doing the stem cell research

on achalasia. Maybe other drugs can also help.

This is great. The first thing I would like to ask him how far they are from

clinical testing

on humans and how will it help people who already got a HM. Let me know how can

I

help.

What is the progress of stem cell treatment for achalasia--is stem cell

replacement helpful for patients who have been treated with dialation or

surgery--thanks, from Boston
