My son has autism and seizures. If stem cell therapy was curing autism and seizures and causing full recoveries it would be blasted all over CNN and every news program. No one knows the real cause of autism. Researchers are just speculating at a link between genes and the environment. But no one knows - so a cure is just a hope. Too many people are willing to do ANYTHING to help their children. Thare are thousands of snake oil salesmen out there swearing that they have the cure. They don't. I fell prey to some of them. I wanted a cure more than anything. But years later I can spot the snake oil salesmen. I know that if there was a real cure it would be all over the news. Anectodal stories are not scientific data.
It's just like all the "diet pills" they sell. If they really worked all doctors would prescribe them to their overweight patients and we wouldn't have any obese people or the complications like diabetes that accompany it.
Medication isn't a cure. But it is all that we have.
