How Does Fetal Stem Cell Treatment Help In Curing Multiple Sclerosis?

I have had multiple sclerosis for about 10 years and have numbness, balance issues, walking difficulties as well as incontinence and bowel issues. I heard about a treatment called Fetal Stem Cell Treatment which can rebuild the Myelin and can reverse this condition. What have you hard about this treatment?

stem cell therapy is in experimental stage...there are anecdotal reports of benefits with stem cell therapy in some brain conditions including multiple sclerosis.
I don't know whether it will help or not...but as it is not associated with major adverse effects.....it's worth trying.....only cost will be an issue...

continue disease modifying agents.
