People are always looking for drugs to cure their illnesses. Have you considered that there is a simpler way? If you put sand in your gas tank, your car won''t run. If you feed your cat hay, it won''t survive. If you put poor food choices in your body, you will get sick. The human body can only take so much abuse. Dr Roy Swank of Santa Rosa pioneered over 50 years in the treatment of MS with diet and has had huge success. Dr John McDougall has continued his great work. For more info, google Roy Swank or go to www.drmcdougall.com and look up M.S.
You will be amazed at what you can do without drugs to save your own health and life. And there is no cost to it? No pills, no doctor''s bills. Only healthy, good eating! Check t out. The life you save may be your own.

For all of the posters: try contacting Northwestern University or ask your physician if any more trials are going to be run. I wish you the best.

My father has Primary Progressive MS, we saw the show on the news and are very interested in this procedure. Have they tested anyone with primary progressive? Where would I be able to get more information on this and do they need more people to volunteer for another trial?

Ive watched your Early Show "Treating MS Symptoms With Stem Cells Promising Northwestern University Trial Uses Patient''s Own Stem Cells To Treat Symptoms Of Multiple Sclerosis". This was very encouraging to me because I have MS. I am still interested in how one''s own stem cells are harvested for this procedure, and where I can get more information.
