Dear Sir, Thankyou for your response. As per your advise will get in touch with AIIMS and let you know . All the relevant tests were conducted at a couple of reputed hospitals in Bombay but the causes still remain unknown. However there does seem to be definite reprieve ( swelling ) on intake of Aurvedic medicines, though it's very early to comment. Will let you know on the impact of Aurvedic medicine so that other Liver Cirrhotic Patients can avail the benefits. Regards G Shetty |

Everyone, I have finally launched The Stem Cell Blog where we will cover exclusively Stem Cell research and news worldwide. I will be adding several articles over the weekend. Looking forward for your feedback. We will also cover topics which people asked here like liver cirrhosis, muscular dystrophy treatment etc. Let us all hope for a brighter future with stem cell therapy. Best, Angsuman |

Dear Goverdhan, I am very sad to hear about his condition. Could this be related to Hepatitis C infection? I would suggest that you get a second opinion from another reputed Hospital. Technically yes. Stem cell can replace liver cells. I suggest you contact AIIMS at the address given in my post and explain them your situation. I will be posting an article or two about it this weekend on The Stem Cell Blog. |

Dear Sir, One of my close relative is suffering from Liver Cirrhosis for the past several years. His Kidney and LFT test is good and so is his CBC count, but doctors are surprised on his cirrhotic condition and unable to ascertain the exact cause. Please let me know if stem cell therapy could be the option Awaiting your reply. Regards G Shetty |

Hi have you spoken to any of the 35 patients that has gone in for the stem cell treatment , their experience would help me a lot. I just had a family freind who lives in delhi consult a doctor in the cardiac dept of Aiims they said that the stem cell treatment is only in its clinical trial stages .Do we have any further news other than the initial 35 patients. You said you are putting together another site pls let me know how to access it.I have written to you earlier also ,I want to know as much as possible so that I can treat my husband in the best way possible |

Hi We two brothers are suffering from LGMD since from last 15 years and our ages are 40 and 45 . The time from when the disease have been diaganosed to us, we are trying for every possible treatment and Pathies, but very sad to say that results come to be nil. The condition from one of us has been reached upto Wheelchair and now we are hopless and tired. We are totally discouraged and there.s no way of hope in our eyes. Time, Money as well as health is going on slipping continously from our hands and also feeling hepless from every where. Always we are hearing that the researches are going on, Scientists are trying and so and so but upto when ? This disease is demoralising our lives. But recently on 25th feb 05 we read a news about Stem Cell research at AIIMS in Times of India and honestly telling, we were too much glad while reading the news. There seen a ray in our darkened life. We also give a hearty congrates to AIIMS. Now we can think about best future and disease free life becouse of hard work that the scientists have done for us. We are heartly thankful to you. Sir, please give information that how we can make use of this treatment or how we can utilize this treatment for us.? What we have to do for the same? and how we can get our healthy lives bacK.? Thanks you ! |

June 3, 2005: 6:34 am
@Alok I am not aware of any current cure. https://www.mdausa.org/publications/fa-lgmd-search.html provides a broad update on this. @Manisha Being a government hospital, it shouldn't cost much. Unfortunately I don't have any personal contact at AIIMS to help you in this regard. As you know, having political contacts with ruling party officials may give you some leverage in New Delhi. |

Dear Rajashekar and others, Please contact Dr. Venugopal at AIIMS for a definite answer to your queries. I have provided the contact information above. I can see theoritically how stem cell will benefit the condition you mentioned. However there is a difference between theory and practice. I would again implore anyone who is interested in knowing more to directly contact the hospital for further information. Let me know how it goes. Regards, Angsuman |

Dear Priyanka, I think you should contact Dr. Venugopal at AIIMS. AIIMS contact numbers are: 91-11-26588500, 91-11-26588700, 91-11-26589900 Request to directly speak to him. If he is not available ask when he will be available. Based on my past experience it shouldn't be much problem. Explain your situation in details to him. Get the actual type diagnosed properly. It never pays to delay treatment of any disease, speaking from hard experience. For some type of MD treatment options are available like for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy corticosteriod (like wysolone) are offered as guideline for treatment. I think you should always go for healthy well-balanced diet. Wish you good luck. Angsuman |

Dear Hemant, Sorry for the late response. I think your best bet is to ask for Dr. Venugopal and speak to him directly. Pe polite but persistent till you get through to him.

Dear Sir, This is in response to the article in The Times of India dated 25-Feb-05, regarding stem cell injection. Sir, my cousin sister 10 years is having symptoms of Muscular Dystrophy, though she is quite active ,she walks fine,goes to school, plays, she is quite intelligent too.But since her birth one of her calf was quite stiff & tight, she used to walk on her toes , she had difficulty in walking up the stairs. We have done her CPK test ,the count is also quite high.Currently she is undergoing an Ayurvedic Treatment as Allopathic could not offer any treatment.We have not done her biopsy as yet, so we don't know which MD she is suffering from. Sir, I want to know Is Muscular Dystrophy serious in Girls also as in boys? And can it be cured by injecting stem cells,as one 21- year old Muscular Dystrophy Patient has undergone a stem cell treatment under your supervision. Sir ,we are desperately looking forward for an appointment with you, my Uncle Aunt are very depressed I wish an appointment with you can answer lot of our queries. Sir I would be very glad if you could tell me what sort of food she should take, we are giving her protein rich diet, I want to know what all food contents can be added in her diet.

The AIIMS people (on customer service) are unable to provide even the basic information and are just asking patients to fax or email about the patient’s health condition… I would like to know if the AIIMS currently providing treatment for Muscular Dystrophy ? or is it still in the clinical trial phase? In that case too I would like to participate/volunteer in such clinical trials/ treatment program so how should I approach them? (Dr. Venugopal mentioned to have successfully treated neurological disorders like muscular dystrophy (Ref. 26 feb TOI)) If you can please look into the matter and answer. Please help. With high Hopes and Regards Hemant |

It is an active area of research. Keep an eye on this blog. I will inform as and when I see something of interest on this topic. Stem cell has the potential to provide cure for wide array of diseases. What is needed is support by governments in different countries, something which is unfortunately lacking in USA. India however is going forward with stem cell research and so are several other countries. |

@K. Meharnath I think you should immediately visit a nephrologist in your area for your Mother. Also check her urea & creatinine (the neprologist will tell you the same). I am not sure what you mean by swollen with pus. Swelling is normally due to fluid retention. Is she on any diuretic like Lasix? The treatment mentioned here is conducted by Dr. Venugopal at AIIMS. Please check my comment above for phone numbers of AIIMS. I have no idea of the pricing but I can tell you the waiting list will be long. You can also look at benfotiamine to reduce diabetic side-effects. |
