. Stem cell treatments hold the promise of reversing Alzheimer's, a cruel disease that steals one's ability even to remember loved ones.
I'm just commenting that other accounts I have read have stated that is not the case. I was curious to know if I had mis-understood.
Recently in the Detroit Free press, there was an article that stated that Stem Cell researchers are making outrageous claims in order to get more research money.
Can stem cells cure Diabetes, heal broken spinal cords, possibly reverse PD??? Probably. Those diseases involve specific cells. But to claim that stem cells can heal a damaged brain - even to the most ardent supporters, that must seem pretty far-fetched. ----------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 65/25 with PD)
