Surely you realise that one anecdote is worthess when it comes to answering the question as to whether stem cell treatment works, don't you?
Stem cell treatments in South America for all sorts of conditions are forever popping up, and in just about every case the science simply doesn't support the claims being made. It's heartbreaking seeing desperate people being rinsed by conmen who can spin a great story, but it happens again and again.
Has your NHS specialist looked over the treatment, agreed that it makes sense, and advised you to go, or are you going against the best professional advice that you've had?
Please at least check out this article,

Just think about this. The clinic is in a 3rd world country - Mexico. This just happens to be next door to a rich country full of gullible people with loads of money - the USA.
I repeat - do not touch this with a bargepole. At best, you will lose money. at worst, you'll end up with GOK wrong with you.'Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.' George Carlin0
