No major break through has been reported about treating Parkinson's by chord blood or stem cells and they are still tried in rats and other animals.
As for as my knowledge goes they have yet to have an official trail report on human being.
Please keep in touch with your neurologist, he will have you inform about the progress of trails and treatments.
