Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Correct Pam, What I was trying to show was that Fetal Cells are not working and actually harming the process at this time. That what Dr. Levesque's is doing is just the opposite. Using a patients own Stem Cells has worked. At least for one person it worked and it is very promising. One, there is no rejection which from every thing I have read is so important. And second, there is not Government control and is therefore not controversial. If all goes well with his 2nd trail and the MSA patient has good results than possibly in 3 or 4 years it could be the CURE. And even perhaps in a year or two, like DBS it might be something you can sigh off on and have it done as an experiment. And be one of the first to get the healing before the FDA approval. Wouldn't that be wonderful? We should all say a prayer for his study because it affects so many people who suffer with this horrible disease.
