StemCell Therapy

Stem cell transplant and stem cell treatment are nothing alike.A HSCT wipes out the old bone marrow and replaces it with a new one. Auto=patients own stem cells, Allo= a donor's. Also, mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells are different. Mesenchymal stem cells do have successfully immunomodulatory effect in GVHD, for example. The donor is the same donor who donated for the HSCT. There was a phase I or II trial in the UK using the patient's own mesenchymal stem cells as pure IV with no other therapies. I need to follow-up on their results, but given that there are no further trials, I presume this was unsuccessful. It's true that the umbilical stem cells have high hopes. It is also true that selling cells or organs is illegal in the US. This would be one argument for the use in Panama but not in the US. On the other hand, this will not be a cure. It could, potentially, exert a temporary effect or perhaps some effect after SEVERAL treatments. But it isn't a cure. Also, a 'universal cure' makes it sound fishy.Having said that about Panama, there is legitimacy in HSCT, with success. This is a treatment in clinical trials. It was done in the US and Canada for SPS. Now there is a trial going on in the Philippines. It's listed on clinicaltrials.gov
