Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 Hello Eddy, Welcome to our group. Sorry you had to find us. and have been with us a few years now. Sorry there is no cure for MSA at this time. There is some research which shows promise of a possible future cure or at least slowing of the disorder. Stem cell research shows some promise in curing PD symptoms in mice. There is also hope for cloning adult stem cells and reinjecting them into the brain, which has supposedly helped one person with PD also. However, Senator Brownback of Kansas has a Bill before congress to BAN all cloning research. If that Bill passes Congress it would even prohibit your doctor from telling you of a cure in another country (as your doctor could go to jail). There is a more sensible Bill before Congress which would allow cloning specific human cells and ban cloning an actual human. That is the Feinstein-Kennedy Bill which is supported by Republican Senators Hatch and Spector. We may be able to help you with specific ideas for specific symptoms so ask specific questions. Exercise does not cure the disorder, but does help maintain movement. Take care, Bill Werre -------------------------------------- > > > Date: 2002/07/20 Sat PM 02:14:50 CDT > To: shydrager > Subject: Introduction..
