Stem Cells Revolutionize Multiple Sclerosis @senseicat
A reset of the immune system and possible reversal of symptoms has been discovered with an infusion of stem cells.
"The finding is based on a randomized clinical trial with 110 patients who'd been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. According to the data, stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS).
People with multiple sclerosis may be able to "reset" their immune system and potentially reverse their symptoms with an infusion of blood-based stem cells.
John Snowden, the director of blood and bone marrow transplantation at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, who was also involved in the trial, told the BBC that he was “thrilled with the results,” calling them “a game changer for patients with drug resistant and disabling multiple sclerosis.”
About one million Americans are living with MS today, according to the National MS Society. Patients are typically treated with immunosuppresants like interferon. But these treatments often have harsh side effects, including an increased vulnerability to infections. And the drugs can be expensive; patients diagnosed with MS may pay more than $47,000 per year."

When I was a child, I had a friend who’s mother had MS. It was really sad and devistating. I hope this stem cell treatment can be perfected and made affordable.

@senseicat It is so sad, people who suffer this illness they really need our attention. I know an old couple who had this challenge, the wife suffers MS and the husband has to do all things at home, even he has to carry her everywhere and he is relly old, they don´t have children to help. I hope future generations have a solution to this terrible illness
