while sodium chlorite has been prime option for a while now, I wanted to add neuralstem/brainstorm trials to "first ligue".

What we can do to put some pressure on them? I know AveMaria is working on it, great job together with Ted Harada. Can we help them anyhow?

I wanted also to add, that there is strong rationale behind the fact that no mather what gene is mutated - stem cells could help.

Fafut,
If gene problems are present and your own stem cells are cultured and implanted won't the same genetic fault be replicated?

froblem will be there whether its your stem cells or some other. The clue is that sc support ie toxic astrocytes and other neural cells which result in protection/slowing or stopping progression. The proceedure will have to be repeated - question is what kind of sc, what dose what method of delivery and in what periods. Some of these questions are being answered right now.

Im not talkin about regeneration - its rather another story
