Can a new immune system halt MS and allow repair?

- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- A clinical trial published in The Lancet, a top medical journal, shows that an intensive procedure that completely wipes out the immune system and then regenerates a new one using blood stem cells can eliminate all signs of damaging brain inflammation in people with early, aggressive multiple sclerosis (MS), and facilitate lasting recovery.
Led by Dr. Harold Atkins and Dr. Mark S. Freedman of The Ottawa Hospital and the University of Ottawa, the trial included 24 participants who were followed for up to 13 years. The $6.47 million trial was funded by the MS Society of Canada and its affiliated Multiple Sclerosis Scientific Research Foundation. The research was also supported by The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, The Ottawa Hospital Department of Medicine and Canadian Blood Services.

Thank you to all the patients who put their life on the line to further research - and to the doctors who do not give up. So happy to hear about the success of stem cell transplants in MS. Hoping to see a successful diagnosis, treatment, and a cure for MEcfs very soon.
I had this treatment in February 2017 with Dr. Richard Burt at Northwestern in Chicago.
I had RRMS and was diagnosed in 2009 when I went blind in my right eye (Optic Neuritis). My boys were 4 and 2 years old. It became so difficult working fulltime as a physical therapist (how ironic) and caring for two little ones, because I had my left side become more and more affected.
I had had 5 more optic neuritis episodes until around 2012 I had gone through 4 MS medications, alternative treatments, boot camp (exercise the MS away LOL), no meds, LDN, CCSVI twice, stem cell treatment without chemo (MSC) at the Cleveland Clinic - you name it, I’ve done it.
When my 4th medication (Tysabri) stopped working after 3 years, I had no hope left so is started looking for anything more - clinical trials, experimental treatments, etc. and then heard about HSCT. I felt I had nothing to lose,so I went for it.
Now, life is truly surreal. At my worst, I needed a wheelchair for longer distances and would walk with a cane for shorter distances.
Now I walk unassisted and I can see! I also work again as a Physical Therapist 3 days a month. I am on no MS meds and my MRIs have shown no activity and old lesion shrinkage. HSCT has been my answer to ending this damn disease, in essence stopping the attack. I am so lucky that, my body has been able to recover some significant function. My only regret is not being able to have had it done sooner so I would have less permanent damage.
Thank you for sharing. I just got diagnosed and you give me hope. Could I ask you if this was very expensive?
@@pipulas1 it’s 45.000€ in Russia but way more expensive in countries like the US, Germany, Switzerland etc.
@@orientalboy86 Thank you @Man from the Orient!
CONGRATS!!! Where did u have it done? XXXX
@@orientalboy86 which clinic in Russia? Thnx in advance
I have MS, very aggressive, but I WILL NEVER see this treatment!
Why?
Because I simply CAN NOT afford it.
Thanks Big Pharma.
Thanks a whole bunch
It's not just big pharma....it's the whole health for profit system that countries that don't believe in public healthcare have to live with.
Grade10science bzzt guess what. I'm on Medicaid. (Public Healthcare) those bozos won't even pay for the meds to slow down My MS.
Try again with less Leftist double think thanks.
@@Grade10science in Spain we do have public health care system and HSCT is not done... Only if damage is really big :(
@The Ottawa Hospital Hello is the hospital still doing stem cells transplant on MS patients, if so how do you sign up for it? Please please please respond back. Thank you.

How would I be able to get the Cure
Hi. The video states that 3/4 of the patients had no new development in disabilities. Does that mean that 1/4 still had ms or that their disabilities from the ms prior to treatment worsened?
