If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

No families take so little medicine as those of doctors, except those of apothecaries.

yes A pretty drastic step. Symptoms did not return though so maybe not gut related in this case

Well it doesnt mean there is no gut relationship. It's just cleaning the stem cells just allows them to react normally in the immune system.
I know stem cell transplants sound scary and the bone marrow ones are high risk. The ones they are doing and planning for all immune diseases are what we call "drive by" stem cell transplant. They harvest your stem cells through a catheter, use a bit of chemo to supress your immune system and after cleaning the stem cells return them to you. the risk is extremely low. I work in a hospital where we do harvesting of stem cells for cancer patients. My colleague's wife had scerloderma. She had pulmonary hypertension (life threatening) and could barely function. After the "drive by " stem cell transplant she is fully recovered. Symptom free. They wont call it a cure because it's so new but the feeling is even if the disease came back it would be a lot weaker and that's IF it comes back.
I am signing up to have it done. I will let everyone know if I can go ahead with it and what it entails. More details to come.
