A great visual look at the subject of parkinson’s disease prognosis.

maureen speaks a bit on the ‘mission’ behind these non scripted ‘in the moment’ videos that aim to create awareness of the mysterious illnesses rooted in the brain, such as parkinson’s disease which she has lived with for 13 years. here is the outline for a foundation that will donate funds to help the living maintain an optimum quality of life… NOW! we are creating a place as aids and cancer groups have done to concentrate not only on cures. please, take that money that’s going to buy a plaque with your name on it, to live across eternity on a hospital wall, AND/OR, share supporting the search for a cure and buy someone’s groceries, pay past due bills to help ‘catch up’, provide supplements … ad infinitum. thank you again for watching. spread the word ! BE BOLD AND KEEP YOUR BOD IN MOTION !

A question from Catriin: What diseases can be cured by stem cells and how would the cells cure those specific diseases?
I need to know which diseases can be cured by Stem Cell treatment. I know that Parkinson’s disease can be cured by this form of treatment but I need two other examples. I also need to know exactly how the cells will treat those specific diseases such as how the stem cells would target the motor cortex, causing a more sufficient amount of dopamine to be formed when treating Parkinson’s disease.
Thanks,

Cat.

There are many hurdles before stem cell implantation can be a potential cure or treatment for Parkinson’s disease. At this point skin cells have been used but the long term results are not in yet.

Other conditions with a cure potential include diabetes type 1 (juvenile diabetes), ALS, Huntington’s disease, Becker Muscular dystrophy (BMD), Down Syndrome, adenpsone deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID), Gaucher disease type III, Schechman-Bodian-Diamons syndromw (SBDS)

There is stem cell treatment for Crohn’s disease.

A question asked by Colour <3: What other types of diseases are embryonic stem cell researchers hoping to cure (besides Parkinson’s disease)?
I am doing a biology research assignment and I’m wondering what other types of diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, is hoping to be cured through the use of embryonic stem cell treatments. I understand that some people are against this method and all but this is just for a school research assignment

Any personal experiences are welcome or general knowledge is fine too.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for letting us skip the “throw the baby out with the bath water” approach to eSCR (the non-induced pluripotent cells) because not a single “child” would be saved by not doing embryonic stem cell research.

Please keep in mind that the “answer” is only speculation – it has not been established – it is based upon hope as well. Cures may be found through other methods but may be aided by the eSCR research.

I have not been able to find a list – and I’ve been looking for a few months but here is what I have found:

Alzheimer’s disease
Parkinson’s disease
Neuro-motor disorders and diseases
Cardiac disease
Cancers
Diabetes
Spinal Cord injuries
Dental issues
Eye diseases and disorders
Burn victims
Myasthenia Gravis
Mental illness – certain kinds
Multiple Sclerosis
Muscular Dystrophies
Osteoporosis
Scleroderma – an autoimmune rheumatic disease
Skin disorders
Sjogren’s syndrome – an autoimmune blood disorder

In most categories there are several other conditions – the actual list would be much longer

Question by AK: What is the cure for parkinson’s disease? How can it be reversed and completely cured?
One of my best friend has Parkinson’s disease going into 4th or 5th year. He is taking medication to control movement and the dosage is now up to 15 pills a day. Is there a cure/treatment for this disease? What can be done to reverse it? Are there any therapies to halt this disease? Are there any herbal suplements?
