Hi, I remember reading about this last year but I don't know how he's doing now... it would be interesting to dig into it and see if it helped him.

I would really do a lot of research before I would think about doing it. You can use the search function on this site and find some info.

I know mojoey best of my memory followed the results of Dr. C who had patients go to Panama for stem cell therapy. Seems the patients that had tested positive for xmrv didn't respond very well.

Of course word is that almost all lyme patients are testing positive for the XMRV virus.

Joey backed out of trying the therapy after that.

Scott F. aka Better Health Guy tried it and mentions it on his web site. Last I read, it didn't lead to a full recovery and he was undecided if he was going to go back for more treatments.

On the positive side you do here of some success stories on the internet here and there.
