I'm going to read through it more and get back to you.

Stem cell research fascinates me and I read everything I can about it, but I have never heard of any verified legit treatments. Trust me I'm looking too - If I ever lost sight in my left eye I would be screwed.

The story about Rylea is definately nice and I would love for it to be true, but the only coverage of it is by the National Enquirer?! The timelines don't even make sense either...

Your skepticism is quite warranted. I'm think this Dr. Huang seems like a charlatan who is just after your money.

Tell me, what would be so wrong in waiting say, 4 or 5 years for a proven treatment to come out? You know it is going to happen, it is just a question of when.

Like I said, I am 150% pro stem cell, and I'm positive I will one day have depth perception and a good right eye - but there is no way I would fly to china right now, even if I had the money, for this guy to inject my eye with stem cells. My luck I'd grow a tumor out of my face. I went through hell with my eyes from the time I was 2 until I was about finishing highschool. If I can go that long, I can wait until there is proven treatments.

I will read more on it though and try to post some better thoughts on the matter.
