Multiple Sclerosis Sufferer Could Move Again After stem-Cell Treatment

Presently stem-cell treatment is banned in Britain, but a multiple sclerosis sufferer who went abroad for stem-cell treatment, can now move his hands and feet for the first time in years.

Rob Hodgson, from Elloughton near Hull, has been forced to use a wheelchair for the last 18 months and was unable to move the right side of his body. But he’s just returned from Rotterdam after undergoing experimental stem-cell treatment, where cells from umbilical cords are injected into the patient.

The MS society opposes the procedure even though it has helped some sufferers walk again. But Rob says he can’t believe the transformation. He raised nearly ten thousand pounds for the therapy, and says it’s the best money he’s ever spent.
