The lawsuit against me was finally settled in court in 2014, as stated above. I received a letter from the court explaining the judgment and the reasons for the judgment. This is little consolation for what I was put through for three years. The individual behind the scenes that orchestrated the lawsuit sought to have me fired from my institution. Failing that due to my status as a tenured full professor, they proceeded to make my life as difficult as possible by informing bloggers, my institution, my administration, and clinical colleagues of my perceived transgressions. They attempted to have the IRB-approval for the Parkinson clinical study (subsequently published) revoked on three separate occasions during the study. My institution sought to remove a potential embarrassment (based on hearsay) by taking away my research laboratory, I am not allowed to publish using my institution’s name, my existing grants were terminated, I was not allowed to apply for any new grants, I was mandated to cease attendance of any scientific research conferences, I was stripped of my clinical affiliations, my clinical colleagues shun me, and I was relegated solely to being a teacher. Devastation occurred in my personal life as well. I am financially ruined paying legal fees to keep my good name intact. And my health, such as it is, has suffered. I freely admit that I was SLE Stage-IV, inherited maternally, until receiving autologous and allogeneic endogenous stem cell transplants based on technology emanating from my laboratory. The stress from the lawsuit and its ramifications contributed to the addition of another autoimmune problem to my repertoire, I am now an autoimmune-induced insulin-dependent brittle diabetic. So even though that individual lost their bid in court to have me ruined, in the end they got what they wanted, my destruction by proxy. They have won. My new title at the end of the 2014-2015 academic year will be Professor, MUSM, Retired. Compensation for me was never about money, I never received any monetary compensation from my associations with the companies in question. Rather my compensation was the knowledge that individuals such as myself with chronic diseases could receive a better quality of life. And now you have the rest of the story.Henry E.

I completely understand what your saying Lee, and agree with it wholeheartedly. I'm sure you're right there are many patients who aren't quite sure where to turn. I've never heard you warn about NOT getting a stem cell treatment, in fact I know you've said if put in a similar situation you would probably seek this treatment. I spend most of my day sharing my personal story, informative articles, other patient stories, informative web sites and information on relevant clinics that I know turn out positive results. I don't ever direct anyone to any specific clinic but explain that this is personal decision, and they need to do their homework….then they can make the decision that's best for them, their disease and their family. It's quite literally a full time job for many PFSC members. Then add all of our online advocacy presence and yep, I just have to shut the computer sometimes and read a book! HA! I appreciate your acknowledging that patients groups could quite possible play a vital role in all of this. We have the inside information that most just speculate about. It might be a good idea, if some actually visit the clinics, meet the doctors, familiarize yourself with the process and technology being used. I think then advice offered from academics would be taken to heart. As of now, it all comes across as 2nd or 3rd hand. A patient would rather trust another patient who's been there done that, and seen results.

I like your comments.
Firstly, let ...Hi Jennifer. I like your comments.<br /><br />Firstly, let me admit where I think I went wrong with this post.<br /><br />1. Despite the post's title, what I'm trying to propose is not about "fighting" clinics or treatment or patients seeking them but about arming patients with making better decisions about which clinics to go to. I agree that the floodgates are open and there is no stopping so its now about education and helping them make the best decision possible.<br /><br />2. As I believe I said in my WSCS2013 talk, I NOW believe the right groups to take leadership on this are NOT the industry groups I suggested but rather the patient group like the ones to which you belong. If industry can help in any meaningful way I would like to see that happen as I do believe some industry professionals can help with identifying the right questions for patients to ask and issues to watch for.<br /><br />This post is NOT about telling patients not to seek treatment wherever they want. This post is about helping patients decipher which are the higher quality and less risky treatment providers out there.<br /><br />I think that relative to many patients out there you are in a very privileged situation in terms of the information and network you have. I think many patients still don't know where to look for helping them decide how to decide whether or not a clinic or treatment is right for them. I think there are many people out there who do NOT yet understand how to distinguish between the higher quality and credible clinic and the type of guys who end up on 60 minutes -- because all they have to rely on is the advertising hyperbole.<br /><br />I spoke just this week with a patient from small-town Canada who had done a fair amount of research but still had made very few contacts or references. I believe an online tool that helped a patient assess the quality of the clinic he is considering would be very useful.<br /><br />But at the end of the day, I'm just guessing. I don't want to tell patients what would help them. I'm trying to come up with what I believe we all could do that would be more constructive and helpful - in a practical way - then what we are doing now. Because if even what you are doing now is the best way to approach helping patients my guess it is not very scalable. We need something that can education and help hundreds of patients wherever they are around the world.<br /><br />Lee Bucklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830444908952419444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251734313338196429.post-83444833172074123802014-02-13T10:02:49.342-08:002014-02-13T10:02:49.342-08:00So I'm not suggesting a police force at all. ...So I'm not suggesting a police force at all. I'm suggesting a tool that can help patient and their doctors distinguish between the clinics which are more reputable and credible than the guys who end up on 60 minutes. My belief is that the average patient considering such treatments have very little to go on other than the advertising hyperbole of these clinics. The tool could be created by patient groups such as yours, Barbara - no police force or paternalism necessary.Lee Bucklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830444908952419444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251734313338196429.post-65961647410293508152014-02-12T13:07:20.733-08:002014-02-12T13:07:20.733-08:00I like what you are saying Lee, but it appears to ...I like what you are saying Lee, but it appears to be "johnny come lately" as far as patients are concerned. I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but because of the erroneous regulations placed on a patients own cells, and the lack of treatment options for many diseases in the US, we are going to leave the country no matter what the professionals say. Had some of you spoke up 10 years ago, we might not be in the predicament that we are in today. (and maybe you did???) Warnings from stem cell academia go in one ear and out the other. Patients listen to other patients period. We fully understand the risks, the benefits, what clinics are good, what doctors have proven results. We've been to the clinics that you all have not. We've received the treatments that you all haven't, we know the doctors personally that you all do not. We are connected to a network of patients who share everything. So...personal patient experience trumps any warnings that academia might put out, and there in lies the problem. I'm not pointing fingers….just stating patient facts. So, how do we bridge the gap when the FDA won't even hear about something like progressive approval? How do we bridge the gap with a scientists that truly believe MSC's cause cancer? How do we repair the lack of trust patients have in academic opinions? I like all your ideas, but wonder if it's too little too late. The flood gates have been opened, and because of all the positives that patients are experiencing, nothing will stop us from getting treated at an overseas clinic of our choosing.

However more proactive and generous certification rules could readily distinguish between medically credible providers and shadier operations and bring the legitimate operators to support effective accreditation and regulation systems. <br /><br />I understand there is also a major difference between U.S. requirements for new drugs, which are now defined as including stem cells outside of the body, requiring both safety and efficacy, and EU rules that require only safety. <br /><br />The former seems to me to make much more sense. If you are dealing with a complex, labile field like stem cells and require efficacy as well as safety as <br />a criterion, how will the pitifully small number of clinical trials ever give us approved stem-cell treatment assurance of efficacy? <br /><br />As long as tis - to me questionable- guideline is in force will we ever have meaningful, cutting-edge stem cell treatment ever be available in the U.S. or will we, like Governor Perry of Texas, continue to have to go abroad to get it?<br /><br />Telemann<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
