This just came out: A Florida clinic that touts stem cell treatments for PD and other disorders was just cited by the FDA for advertising medical benefits without any evidence and worse still - unsanitary conditions. Nasty! For more info: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/2017082...

According to the Parkinsons Report Magazine, stem cell is still a work in progress. It has shown some success in animals but the treatment has not been proven to be successful in human trials. There is no evidence that stem cells injections can even treat Parkinsons symptoms.. The article says that the outlook for stem cell research is hopeful, just not yet. In the meantime always be skeptical and aggressively question the science and claims behind advertised stem cell therapy. Beware! Bean

Hi Frank, I heard from my doctor that stem cell is not approved for parkinson patients. It is easy to do stem cell in a knee or shoulder ligament (as my husband has had it done already) but not in the brain as yet. Maybe down the road. I did hear however that they were doing it out of the United States but I am not sure if that is correct or not. Bean
