And if you follow these people out, it's not like you cured their MS.
They can still go on and have progression some years later.
So it's not a cure-all.
And I have received patients that have participated in stem cell tourism, something that I don't recommend, where they go to like an exotic place like Mexico or India or Chicago, and they get their bone marrow swapped out.
And I can tell you that for some of the patients, it's been really, really transformative.
And many of the patients, they've gone on to have disease activity, and we've gone back on medicines.
So it's a very hot topic.
And I would simply ask someone listening, if you're going to consider a stem cell transplant, you need to be talking to a legit MS neurologist.
And it's not just something where you book a trip to India, get it done and come back.
Excellent, excellent topic.
And I don't think that we could possibly have a discussion about MS in the modern era without talking about weed.
It's like literally impossible.
And so, you know, it's shocking that this laid in the discussion.
It always comes out right.

In Ohio, we don't have recreational cannabis available, but we do have it through certain medical conditions.
Top would be MS.
And so when this first started to pick up, this concept of using cannabis medically approved, I looked at the data and I immediately decided this is BS because the data is really, really poor.
The quality of the research is crap.
And I'm a nerd and I said, okay, well, I don't ascribe to this.
