I went , it saved my life. I have talked to many that followed me, all had a 25 to 50 percent drop in heart pressures. It works. I'm 23 month out. The reason we are not on the fast tract is the money is not right for large drug companies.No profit in healthy people.

Where can I find doctors in the Denver area that use stem cell therapy and may be willing to use it for pulmonary hyptertension?

I have been just diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension and have been looking at the different meds available to us. My first appointment with the pulmonologist will be on the 29th. I also have read about stem cell treatments going on. They were in the Dominican Republic, but have now moved to Panama. Also there is new news that came out around August 12th 2010 about 2 drugs called DCA and TMZ that actually regress PH, instead of just dialating the blood vessels in the lungs. Of course the clinical trials for these drugs are happening in the UK and Canada. My concern is how long it will be before any of this is available to us. This country's bureacracy is awful, and someone will have to profit from it in a big way. I would like to be able to change this too. My prayers go out to every one dealing with this. I am asking God to open doors that are impossible for us to open by ourselves. God Bless all of you.

What drives me crazy is no one seems interested in fast tracking something that has the most promise to CURE Pulmonary Hypertension. Everyone should be up in arms over this and be asking why?? More time wasted places more treatment revenue to the pharmaceutical industry along with FDA's help. I suggest the lust for money & control drives these decisions.

Dr, patients, and yes even our government if concerned for human life should stop the corruption, manipulation of how we get treatments & cures to the general public. Really getting tired of the bureacracy when other countries are already moving on with clinical trials...none here in the US by the way.

Please write if anyone knows a way to change this. Maybe in numbers we can make a difference.
