Re: [Spotlight_ldn] Investigation

[Guest guest]

Yes ce,

I believe we are talking about some relevant progresses we have achieved recently in Italy studying staminal cells. It is not a drug; it is a treatment to repair the MS damage. All the Italian are well aware of this forthcoming therapy. I have already reported and translated one italian article about it in the past that I find quite interesting. You can read it pasted here below.

If I can add to it my impression, after starting LDN and seeing what it can do for MS, even this issue of the staminal cells got much less important to us...

Hi everybody,I would like to share with you this interview released by Doctor Grimaldi who has directed in 1992 the research neurology unit of the Saint Raffaele Hospital of Milan to the Italian press. This interview has been published in a sicilian newspaper.

******************** This the title: ******************** Specialized staminal nervous cells reconstruct the myelin. DEFEAT THE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS BETWEEN FIVE YEARS? The experiments on the rats demonstrate that it can be recovered. Started the experimentation on the monkeys in Holland. In 2005 it would be tested on man - Our interview in exclusive right to the investigator who directed in 1992 the neurology unit of the Saint Raffaele Hospital of Milan, Doctor Luigi Grimaldi **************** Here the article interview **************** On April the 17th Natures has published an article on the staminal cells. This was an announcement that represents more than one hope for MS patients. Experiments on rats have demonstrated that it is possible to recover from MS. Some days ago the experimentations already are begun in Holland on monkeys and probably, from the half of the 2004 they

will begin also on man. This announcement comes from Prof. Luigi Grimaldi, director of the research unit of the Saint Raffaele Hospital of Milan in 1992, now directed by Doctor Gianvito o. This exclusive interview tells how they reached this discovery according which, adult staminal nervous cells, injected for intravenous way, can reconstruct the myelin destroyed from the multiple sclerosis. --- Doctor Grimaldi, we can say that we are near the target? That this is more than a new hope of recovering from MS? "Definitely, this is a fundamental step in the history of the therapy for MS. For the first time it has been consistently shown from scientific assessment the possibility of not only arresting the MS progression but also restoring the lost functionality. The fact that the mechanism of reconstruction is not specific and depending of the nature of the lesion that has happened, on a practical point of view, it is an

advantage. Independently from the reason of why such lesions have been generated, whether because of a virus or an allergic lesion or a genetic defect, this experimentation at the San Raffaele Hospital, demonstrated the capability of reconstructing the damage".

Ciao Massimo,Well, I am trying to sort out Chat but I will let you know how it goes.I have just read on another MS site about a group of Italian doctors who are going to trail a new drug which they say will be a cure for MS if it does work but it seams to on Rats. They say they are going to try it on Humans to check it is OK and then it will probably be 3-5 years before it is available?I do not know where about they are doing this but I do know that they are Italian and working in Italy. Perhaps you know about this?Regardsce.
