Abstract
We have been made aware of several patients with
neurological diseases attending stem cell therapy centres, and in
particular individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The
opening of stem cell clinics in South Africa has led to an increased number of patients pursuing this therapy at great financial cost and
with high expectations.
