We have some good news today. Dr. Richard Burt, the Adult Stem Cell doctor at Northwestern University is publishing results of a study on treating Multiple Sclerosis patients with their own Adult Stem Cells. Dr. Burt is known for his Stem Cell research-- because he helps actual human patients- not mice.
And the results are good- VERY GOOD! The study took 21 patients in the “relapsing-remitting” form of Multiple Sclerosis and implanted them with their own stem cells:
Three years after being treated, on average, 17 of the patients had improved on tests of their symptoms, 16 had experienced no relapse and none had deteriorated, the study found.So this means that 16 out of 21 were essentially cured- 76% and the remaining 5 didn't deteriorate!
One of the patients treated was Edwin McClure:
McClure was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as a high school senior in 2002, after his vision dramatically worsened. “It was like someone had turned down the dimmer switch,” he said in a telephone interview yesterday. He also suffered from dizziness, poor balance and fatigue so bad that he’d collapse and sleep for three hours every day after school. Over the next few years, McClure was treated with steroids and interferons. While they controlled the disease for a time, his symptoms eventually broke through, triggering fresh attacks. McClure went to Chicago to take part in Burt’s study at the end of 2005, spent a month being treated, and hasn’t needed any drugs since. ‘A Blessing’ “It’s a blessing,” he said. “My disease has been halted.” Even the stress of being in the competitive graduate program -- a factor known to exacerbate symptoms of multiple sclerosis -- hasn’t caused a single attack, he said. His balance is better and his vision hasn’t deteriorated further. Click here to read the whole thing
