That's fair, my generalization was pejorative. I meant to say, in a glib way, that this is not a website frequented by 100% licensed physicians and clinical researchers, and is actually mostly not that.

The point is, the OP is essentially saying, "I wish to discard the notion that statistical research is valid and may make medical decisions based on a study with N=1 or 2". I was worried people would show up and offer magical cures as they always do, and lo and behold, there are threads suggesting hypnosis and turmeric.

My main concern with this is that the OP may use a completely arbitrary "cure" and avoid speaking further to doctors about it, so any actual treatments that are developed might be overlooked.

OP here. You are being unkind. I'm not an idiot. I have a doctor. He won't be honest regarding stem cells for legal reasons (they're not fda approved). That said other doctors I know who happen to be experts in stem cells in a totally different medical area have said I should pursue this. HN is one of dozens of avenues I am using to collect information.
