[StemCells] RE: Finding people who have undergone SC therapy

1) Watch out for scam artists. Join this group, lead by Dr. Wise
(his real name, but he IS wise)
http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/archive/index.php/t-20361.html This is
almost his life and he knows what works and doesn't. Do nothing he
doesn't give a gentle nod. Generally, you want to stay in the US and
with clinical trials (search http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov ) Many
clinics are off-shore so they can be unregulated. Sometimes they
don't use anything remotely related to stem cells, or stem cells from
people, and if they do the cells aren't clinical safe - but only
meant for lab research.

2) No one is doing embryonic anywhere in the world. If they say
they are, don't believe them. Embryonic stem cells cause tumors.
It's their nature. The test for them is to inject under skin and if
no tumors arise then there are no embryonic stem cells. To get
around this, the cells must be grown to a tissue and that is then
rejected. There is one clinical trial approved for Geron, but even
Dr. Steven Goldman, Chairman of Neurology at the University of
Rochester and member of a committee convened by the F.D.A. last April
to examine the safety aspects of trials using therapies from
embryonic stem cells says: "It's not ready for prime time, at least
not in my mind, until we can be assured that the transplanted stem
cells have completely lost the capacity for tumorogenicity."

3) There are 2 people working w/adult stem cells that seem to have
good results on this issue. One is Dr. Carlos Lima of Peru. All of
his 80+ patients have reported positive results (though some only
w/bladder restoration). Others have recovered sensations. He's not
published, though. The other is Dr. Roisen of University of
Louisville. His work on rats has been published and he is preparing
for clinical trials with humans.

Search this group - it has lots of information as well.
