Hi, I am looking into stem cell therapy for my Dad. I have a call into the three companies linked to at the top of the forum as well as to cellmedicine.com, who is used by Dr. Cheney for his CFS patients.
I am wondering if my Dad even qualifies, that is, if he is too ill. Traveling seems daunting. He is moslty housebound on oxygen, and has exascerbations requiring hospitalization several time a year. In fact, he just got out of post-hospital rehab a couple of weeks ago and is now back in hospital. (Well, his overall functioning really went downhill when he got c. diff early in the year from a pneumonia hospitalization/antibiotics and he is still weak from the surgery for getting his colon removed. He almost didn't make it.) He is totally treated via mainstream medicine, so lots of meds.
Still, I hope it is possible b/c I think it is his only hope to live more than a few months or year. I hope he gets through the winter.
I would love any advice,
Thanks,
Nina
