My aunt lives in the UK and was diagnosed with ms about a year ago. Shez been on treatment for a long time now but her condition seems to be getting worse. could stem cells be done to treat the condition or make it better off? Is it a better alternative to the treatment she iz undergoing?(interferon beta-1b(betaferon) 250mcg??

Simply excersize, if can be done. Take supplements; vitamin d3 and b100 complex, cod liver oil, and a healthy diet. Listen to healing/relaxing music. If there is spasticity, botox can be administered. I've had MS for 8 years, and it is aggresive; so these options I've introduced, is what I'm taking.

Yes, it does help; and it's a natural alternative. I was using naturopathic remedies, as I was seeking a natural choice, rather than drugs. My funds ae exhausted, so I'm going solo, yet, still seeimg my neuro. I am using a walker and a scooter, for the outside. I'm not so familiar with stem cells, though I hear it's promising.
