Hi PATIENT to 1mgdoctors. Stem cell banking is dome for a particular period, 20-25byears. Sten cells can be life saving in case your child ever needs an organ transplant or god forbid develops some form of cancer. But as costly it is to do stem cell banking, its much more expensive to use those stem cell for any treatment. I have tried to give you all practical information regarding stem cell. Rest you can think over it and decide.

How effective is stem cell therapy in diabetes

Dr. Sanjay Bhatt

Physician

Effects depending on the patients body nature.

My brother has been diagnosed as ALS patient 6 months back. Is there any way to give him a better treatment. Or is there any hope to get any confirmed treatment for him in near future? Currently he is being treated in Nimhans, Bangalore and Institute of Neuro Science, Kolkata. They both couldn't give us any hope.

We have checked with AIIMS few years back and they wanted us to try stem cell therapy but we were not interested due to just 33% success ratio.she is diabetic and high BP and is on medication as well. She is having multi vitamins as well.These days her diabetes is almost within the normal range. Can you suggest something for her? Is there any way to hold the vision which is there right now?
