FW: Status of Dr. Wie-Hua Lee's IGF-1 Project

[Guest guest]

I received this email from Dr. Lee today. I responded and asked for

a copy of his publication as he offered. I'll keep you updated.

Status of your IGF-1 Project

Dr. Lee,

I had corresponded with you by email in February of last year regarding your

research project on IGF-1

and cerebellar neuron survival. My interest in your work is prompted by the

fact that my brother was diagnosed at about that time with Shydrager

Syndrome or Multiple System Atrophy.

The topic of IGF-1 was raised recently on our Shydrager Support Group

internet site, and I just wondered if I might trouble you for information

about the status of your project?

Thank you,

Jerry Cash

This was an article on Dr. Lee's work posted on the National Ataxia

Foundation website:

Jill in the UK... did we ever determine if IGF-1 is the growth hormone being

studied in the UK? You'd mentioned your husband might be a candidate

for a growth hormone study. There are many types of growth hormone so this

might be something else. Let us know if you have more details.

Take care,

Pam

Pam and Jerry,

This is VERY interesting work as it shows a DIRECT link between successful

Juvenile Diabetes work and work on cerebellar ataxia. Both involve the insulin

growth protein (IGF-1) and both have only had success with embryonic stem cells.

Note too that this work will not only be banned in the USA, but the scientists

could be thrown in jail inder the Brownback Bill before the Senate right now.

Now that is a novel approach to medical care in the USA, throw the scientist in

jail for trying to find a cure for MSA under the pretense of " saving babies " .

At the same time invade Iraq killing many thousands of people (including

babies). Guess I will never understand politics )

Take care, Bill Werre
