Demyelinated not Destroyed

While updating my blogroll, I stumbled across something that could be extremely beneficial to people living with CIDP. Northwestern University is presently recruiting participants for a stem cell based treatment for CIDP. It’s important to note that this clinical trial is for people who are not responding well to traditional CIDP treatments. You also have to be 65 years or younger in order to be considered for the clinical trial.

More information concerning the clinical trial through Northwestern University can be found here.

I know the use of stem cells is a hot-button, political topic. I don’t want to get into a debate of whether or not stem cells should be used here. Everyone is fully capable of examining their own moral code to determine whether or not they would feel comfortable participating in such a clinical trial. I’m merely posting information about the clinical trial in case it can benefit any of my readers presently living with CIDP.
