Question 1

what is stem cell therapy?

Accepted Answer

Stem cell therapy: It involves the use of stem or pluripotent cells that, under the proper triggers, can grow into many different cell types. Stem cells are transplanted to replace damaged cells or tissues in the body that are unable to heal themselves. While this type of therapy does offer hope, it is mostly investigational at this time and very few stem cell therapies have been proven to be both safe and effective.

Question 2

how reliable is stem cell therapy for the knees?

Accepted Answer

Experimental: Hi. Stem cell therapy holds tremendous promise that only has a chance of being realized when anti-science ignoramuses (GOP, right wingers) are kept OUT of power. There is no approved stem cell therapy for knee problems, but if you WANT to see stem cell potential, keep idiots OUT of positions of power with your VOTE!!! Stem cells rock, and science has only scratched the surface!

Question 3

what do you feel abt stem cell therapy for copd

Accepted Answer

Experimental: Unproven and unlikely to work at this time.

Hopefully in the future.

Question 4

is stem cell therapy helpfull for lenox gastaut syndrome? and wil my daughter wil be able to stand on her own

Accepted Answer

Complex: Lennox-gastaut is very tough to fully control, and that is why we have many medications to choose from.  Banzil, lamictal, maybe potiga, (ezogabine) could help, but a pediatric neurologist is indeed mandatory.  You should discuss her milestones with that doc, but i would think these are merely delayed due to sz.  Stem cells always come up as future remedies, but not ready yet, and not sure how much longer.

Question 5

if stem cell therapy is not an option for copd today, is there promising research going on? at what time in future might this become a reality?

Accepted Answer

Stem cells: Stem cells offer promise in many areas where dysfunctional cells are not doing the job.  This includes COPD and other areas where cells do not work well.  But work is in early research, was put behind many years by theologic based political decisions, and was overhyped by advocates trying to fight the politics.  It will be a number of years in the future for success.
