Guest guest Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hi Joana, I found the CMT gentleman and sent him an email and he replied my email. In the email, he told me that he feels his CMT symptom improved. He is not sure how the long improved symptom will last. The tricky part is that I am not sure wether the clinic might ask or pay him to ask something positively. But I do find people on News channel to talk about how their sons' visions were improved after stem cell therapy in China. Hope the above might be helpful.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hi, Joana I have reaserched how to go to stem cell clinic in China. Here are the steps: 1) find the websites of the clinic in China 2) email or call to make appointments 3) prepare money to pay 4) buy airline tickets and fly to China and stay in a hotel or a place the clinic arrange for you 5) receive stem cell therapy Whether or not to take the above 5 steps depend on how brave you are. I know some people can see with their eyes after stem cell therapy in China. I am not sure about CMT right now. Hope the above information might be helpful.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Joana, Please be extremely cautious about " medical tourism " to China, Mexico or other countries. Not only is this incredibly expensive, and not covered by insurance, it may also be potentially dangerous for multiple reasons. " Medical Tourism " is popular because it is so new and yet experimental, there is no evidence based published research on this for CMT and just because one person says it helped - why hasn't he spoken up to others? Why is this information so secret? Don't you think if stem cells replacement were a treatment or even arrested CMT all together that we would all have it? If you are serious about getting help, I suggest you follow Donna's advice in London, or, if you absolutely feel you need to become in " medical tourism " , then consider coming to the USA and seeing Mike Shy and his clinicans at Wayne State. Of course you will also need the financial resources to do this. CMT is a genetically inherited disorder that has been in the human family for 6 - 7 million years. That means it is so deeply embedded in you. There is no currently available treatment. Earlier this week, I posted the news about Pharmax. You may want to join the CMT France to talk about this and find connected researchers who may know about trials. NT-3 is still in research trials stages and so is Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) - in the USA and Europe. Great progress is being made. Genetic Engineering of DNA itself is still a long ways off. Help for symptoms management is out there, if you want it, you must be prepared to make changes in your life, such as considering AFOs to help you walk, wearing different shoes, physical therapy, scaling back on such intensive work at the gym, etc. Good nutrition is also very important in maintaining optimum health, CMT or not. You are in the grieving process right now. Don't think of what you used to do, but think about what you will do and what a good life you will have with the help you get. If you feel better in Brazil, consider staying there. Just the climate alone is so different than the UK. That would make anyone feel better! Not to mention you have family and friends there for love and support. You may want to look in our Files for Dr. 's list of supplements for CMT. Look in the Supplements and Vitamins Folder for this. There is additional information there as well. Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Just my 2 cents. I have met, and listened to, folks with MS who traveled to Costa Rica for stem cell therapy, and their results were - while not a cure - remarkable. They went from not walking, to walking, etc. Obviously, the treatments were not successful for everyone, but for these, it was. The clinic there was run/owned by U.S. physicians, who could not provide this treatment in the U.S. due to FDA regulations. I say 'was', because the Costa Rican government has now shut down all stem cell therapy clinics due to pressure from - get this - the FDA. I guess Costa Rica is our 51st state. To be fair in response to the FDA, et al, we do know that many of the studies which are considered 'gold-standard' and published in medical journals are faulty, in large part due to conflicts of interest and bias. That's a shame. Gretchen is correct, that we have to be very careful when considering complementary, or experimental, therapies. That same caution applies to standard, traditional medical treatments, as well. In a perfect world, everyone would be compulsively honest, including scientists/researchers. > > Joana, > > Please be extremely cautious about " medical tourism " to China, Mexico or other countries.
