The information quoted in the Melbourne newspaper was a bit overly optimistic about the results of the stem cell procedure that brought about the "cure", according to a spokeswoman in Dr. Levesque's(La veek) office this morning. The "News" was old news and the patient has not been cured of Parkinson's. The FDA did approve the procedure but a research protocol has not been reached with Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre's Neurofunctional Surgery Centre in Los Angeles. Further research can not be done until this has been completed. Patients of Dr. Levesque and Parkinsn will be the first to know of any change.
