Then Good Morning Lionheart, I think it's almost time for your breakfast.
I looked up info on saud sadiq, he has a very impressive resume. It seems his center is right in mid-town manhattan. There is a tremendous amount of brain power doing research in the city, with Columbia, NYU, Rockefeller..all well funded. It would be fascinating to be there.
It seems that Dr. Sadiq and his center does alot of research on stem cell therapy.
The neurologic community seems to be split on the topic. I have not read enough studies. As it happens, I just picked up Time Magazine, the cover topic is Stem cells.
I started a couple of years ago on Avonex, the switched to Betaseron, The both did not agree with my biology. I have been on copaxone for about a year now, no side effects like the interferons.
The lesson I learned there is that each Neuro has their 'thing', a drug, treatment protocol that they believe is the best. And sometimes they become blinded to other options.
I relapsed severly on avonex, that neuro prescribed valium for it. I was sick and in unbearable pain on betaseron, that doc had helped develop the drug. He told me that that was asgood as I was ever going to feel again. My 3rd and current guy said 'clearly interferon is not good for you'
That's my long way of saying that we make the best caretakers of our own health. If a Dr.s research looks promising, find out who doesn't agree and why....
Hey Lionheart, where's ya get that name??
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle..
