Although the Stem cell treatment in China sounds like an AMAZING program, I can't help but wonder if the cost and location of the clinic (along with the time spent there to complete the treatment), would be my 1st choice being one who lives in the United States. It definatly is the MOST publicized place to go. I did actually look into going to China with my daughter. Then, I looked into Costa Rica as well. But when it all came down to making a decision, I opted toward Mexico, not only for the convienience of it's location for us, but for the experience that Dr. Ramirez had with treating kids with cerebral palsy:

Also, prior to commiting to treatment, I contacted a former patient of his who suffers from MS to ask his opinion as to whether or not HE thought his experience was worth doing something this experrimental to my child. He said if it were his child, he would do it.
I guess, although China DOES have it's advantages (with PT rehab and accupuncture- during it's program), I actually prefer the "NO FRILLS" approach to doing SCT's- but my daughter also gets 10 hours of physical therapy a week.
True, time will tell as to the outcome for her for this approach.
