Stem Cells NOT yet advised as treatment in Neurological Disorders

"STEM CELL MYTH" ABOUT NEUROLOGICAL TREATMENTS: PLEASE STOP MISGUIDING PATIENTS STEM CELL THERAPY IS NOT YET SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN SAFE OR BENEFITIAL, NOR RECOMMENDED FOR ANY NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. YET HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS ARE BEING TREATED WITH THIS FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, NEUROTRAUMA, PARKINSONS DISEASE ETC ETC. ICMR SAYS: 9.3 Use of stem cells for therapeutic purposes 9.3.1

As of date, there is no approved indication for stem cell therapy as a part of routine medical practice, other than Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT). Accordingly all stem cell therapy other than BMT (for accepted indications) shall be treated as experimental. It should be conducted only as clinical trial after approval of the IC-SCR/IEC and DCGI (for marketable products). All experimental trials shall be registered with the NAC-SCR. http://icmr.nic.in/stem_cell_guidelines.pdf Top 10 Stem Cell Treatment Facts |

Closer Look www.closerlookatstemcells.org  shows many clinics that are offering stem cell treatments make claims about what stem cells can and cannot do that are not supported by our understanding of science. The information on this page corrects some of the misinformation that is being widely circulated.
