Hi I'm Stanley from South Africa and suffers from RP I will never be able to come up with 500000 Canadian dollars but if it was possible would your organization accept an RP patient from another country. Lastly can I as a average salary earner donate monthly towards your heroic life changing work? Although it will not be big amounts Regards Regards
Hello, Im 47y.o.woman from Ukraine, and i have RP. If there is any hope for treating RP , please, contact me.
you don't have to wait for this treatment so long... there is already such technology which can reactivate your own stem cells without invasive injections, or consuming drugs/medications this technology harnessed the power of photobiomodulation if you know of somebody who is interested, let me know so i can help 😊 i also suffered from RP for so many years, now im already seeing bettter and better for the past 10 months
RP and optic atrophy both are same?
@@sagarchenna9192 think its different technically.. but stem cells definitely can help to repair any tissues or organs

Great program for me Ronald Kiyimba in Uganda.
I have static cone dystrophy. Is there a therapy either STIM cell and/or bioregulator peptide trial/study that is showing sort of improved vision?
Hello. Are the telescope glasses for makuladengeneration? Helps it?
i am hopeful to here there is cure, but if it cost 1mil... that is a dream too far. There is no guarantee also if it will work, should be more on result oriented, else it is $1mil gamble.
Whether by Stem cell therapy scar in retina curable.?
Really interesting! Many years ago I had an injury to the part of my thoracic spine which sends nerves to the gut and pancreas, etc. I also was diagnosed with wet A}MD. Within the past six or so uears the injury was affected by binding of soft tissue around it, causing a "block" that area (to the upward adjustment of the spine) and in the past year a DO and I have been working on reducing that block, which is at the same time putting more stress on that area, and in the Drusen have been getting worse. (I am thin and as far as I know, have an excellent diet for positive effect on my microbiome. ) I wonder if the stress through the nerves to that area are negatively affecting the biome. Wonder if ANYONE knows....
How long do you think the macula degenrash treatment will last?

Within 2 hours after applying God's mercy nano-grade eye drops, drusen will be excreted from Bruch's membrane/RPE (retinal pigment epithelium) to surface of cornea. czcams.com/video/WdHhCGSr9mQ/video.html Western medication forever can't effectively treat and reverse AMD (age-related macular degeneration) because drusen can't be cleared away from Bruch's membrane/ RPE. All glory belongs to God !
WHEN is stem cell therapies??
