I found this video extremely informative having been diagnosed with PD in June 2021. I pray for a cure for this terrible disease in years not decades.

Terrific content and well-presented!

Stem cell therapy is to help those endogenous stem cells to clear away so-called inhibitory molecues, such as AGEs (advanced glycation endproducts), ALEs, etc. so that its regenerative potentials can be triggered for regeneration, i.e. dedifferentiation, differentiation and proliferation. Autologous and/or allogeneic stem cells therpay are entirely wrong and will cause horrible side effects.

Thanks for sharing. Can you guide us on when will the stem therapy be available on commercial scale

I. Have a cord blood for my two sons circa 2002, 2007 and has been cryogenically stored . I’m told that they could retrieve stem cells from this cord blood for my pd treatment. How do I determine this viability and who could perform such a process and test me for cord blood stem cell generation? Thanks for your earliest reply, John.

IF a therapy was developed to coerse other cells in the brain to become dopamine cells, what would stop a hypersaturation of the coersed cell? If cell 2a is coerced how can it be limited to assure ALL 2a cells don't transform, thereby starving the brain of the cells original job? Im 6 years post diagnosis.

What specific studies are being referenced here? Is there a pubmed link?
-
Are you suggesting that the results could continue to improve after 5 years? And possibly last for 29 or more years? Thank you very much!
-
Do trials involving stem cells appear to indicate a reversal of some symptpms or merely slowed progression?
-
Hope that
