Dear Tim. My name is Richard Boyd. I am director of Monash Immunology and Stem Cell Laboratories at Monash University, Melbourne.
I am very interested in your story and any stem cell successes. Congratulations on yours. I would like to understand more about the stem cells you received and the benefits. We need to engage our Govts to support the cause of solid research and evidence based medicine. I am doing this daily.
As a suggestion I would tone down your comments on big pharma though. Geron has spent 10's of millions on their trial. Sadly Govts and FDA only listen to such studies. Of course the companies want to make money but they have to. No Govt can afford the research and trials. That is the history of medical treatments and why we are progressively getting healthier as a species. We should work together with industry and govts to get the treatments so many patients like you need and deserve.
