Thank you.

In the USA.

Who is the top #1 #2 #3 stem cell hospital that I can travel (overseas) and be treated at to relieve at least 80% of my MS. Now for 1yr I stopped walking and legs muscles are shrinking.

I am sorry I am dwelling on this topic but I will move on to the medical condition thereafter. Thank you for your time spent and effort. appreciated.

Brief Answer:
Evaluate expectations by discussing with your Doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again

- Harward stem cells institute, Californian Institute for Regenerative Medicine, etc.

In order to forecast the results you need to talk with the medical staf of clinic you choose,about your condition and expectations BEFORE you undergo treatment,

Again, there are no approved algorithms and still needed time to understand precisely the long term effects and improvements of this therapy.

Do your search and discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.

Best regards.

would you rank XXXXXXX over Mayo clinic. It would be safer to go to one of the biggest and best hospitals in the us to do bone marrow or iPS. including assessing and resolving K+/Mg deficiency, bladder loss of control, leg/hand muscle weakness, fatigue, and vision blur that I have. wouldn't you say.

Thank you I now have a medical trip to the us. I can do FDA approved stem but no trial based stem cell.

I am to go to a big well known established USA hospital. would like a place that combines both worlds conventional and unconventional(stem cell) treatment. returning home with 80% improvement.

regards,

doctor

Brief Answer:
Those clinics are suitable too.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Mayo clinic is actually ranged as the top clinic about neurological and neurosurgical conditions assessment and treatment, XXXXXXX clinic also is one of the best clinics in the USA about these conditions, so, of course I agree that you can go to one of those clinics too and I believe that you will have the best treatment suited to your condition.

About the conventional and unconventional therapies, rules are rules, I can say no more about this issue.

I think that this issue depends mainly on your decisions.

Hope I helped you so far.

Regards.
