A new treatment for MS now exists without altering the immune system, without employing the use of medication, and therefore without exposing the patient to the risk of side effects. That new treatment is stem cell therapy.
Initial trials with stem cell therapy in the treatment of MS have shown great promise. In general, stem cells have been shown to be potent agents of regeneration and re-myelination not only in MS but in all demyelinating diseases, such as cerebral palsy and ALS ("Lou Gehrig's Disease"). Not only have stem cells been found to remyelinate the central nervous system, but they have also been shown to be effective in correcting diseases of an autoimmune nature.
