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.

Ologies with Alie Ward

It's like literally impossible.

And so, you know, it's shocking that this laid in the discussion.

It always comes out right.

So to share with you like my little journey, I'm a medical marijuana recommender in the state of Ohio.

Ologies with Alie Ward

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.

Ologies with Alie Ward
Neuropathoimmunology (MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS) with Aaron Boster

The quality of the research is crap.

And I'm a nerd and I said, okay, well, I don't ascribe to this.
