Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 our local tv station recently had a health cast re: bone marrow therapy for early stages of autoimmune diseases. i wondered about rp so i wrote to the the address given. it seems they take a piece of your own marrow out, freeze it, and then destroy the rest in your body along with your immune system. then they put the frozen marrow back in. they have tried the procedure over 500 times with amazing success. i will let you all know if rp is one of the diseases helped by this procedure and if anyone else knows anything about it, please let me know. sandy n. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Sandy N. I have only heard of this being used once in the case of an Rper. The prognosis was not good. But they did not state the health of the participant at the time they tried. This is still considered experemental. Which means that most medical insurance companies will not cover it. But they are having great results using it on persons with SLE and RA, so give it time. Great info, thanks for sharing R. > our local tv station recently had a health cast re: > bone marrow therapy for early stages of autoimmune > diseases. i wondered about rp so i wrote to the the > address given. it seems they take a piece of your own > marrow out, freeze it, and then destroy the rest in > your body along with your immune system. then they > put the frozen marrow back in. they have tried the > procedure over 500 times with amazing success. i will > let you all know if rp is one of the diseases helped > by this procedure and if anyone else knows anything > about it, please let me know. sandy n. > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
