Members shared mixed feelings about stem cell therapy for neurological diseases, with most expressing caution about unproven treatments outside of clinical trials. Several members shared personal experiences, including one who had Lemtrada and reported stability after two rounds, while others warned about high costs, lack of results, and risks including a one-in-seventy chance of death with HSCT. A recurring theme was a preference for waiting on more clinical trial results and FDA approval before considering experimental treatments.

Even if you go to a place that is approved there is no guarantee and the odds are still the same.

Don't do it. My husband had it done and I was so against it. His own doctor told him not to waste his money. When his parents gave him the money I was not happy. 10,000.00 is a hell of a lot of money to throw away. He had it done twice and they didnโ€™t charge him for this second stem cell neither worked not even a little.
