I'm sorry I overreacted but still please read all the info if you gonna comment on it. I suggest you read Dr.Wise blog a bit, it will hopefully shed some light on current state of cure development. He has been working in this field for a long time and probably has a good idea of how things are progressing. Again, I apologize it seem like I still believe in positive outcome of my injury. The little hope left in me but its still there and when I see somebody blatantly bashing the whole idea without any basis in facts it really bothers me and I get frustrated.

Love and Hate lets have a love in !!
Mr friend i did not mean to bash your hopes and dreams for they are my hopes and dreams too.
It is a dream that no doubt has played out in your head as it has in mine a billion times.
All i should have said is that electrical stimulation is not the way ultimately i believe that will bring about a cure, stem cell research will.
This is where my research reading has focused.
Again i do not want to upset anyone who for religious reasons find stem cells offensive.

As for the time scale who knows, touch screen phones, computers (which i cannot use Steve Jobs ) would have seemed daft 10 years ago!

But what i would say to anyone is whatever you have got, and from my end it ain't much make the most of it and anything extra will, taste that little bit sweeter.

Yes, I agree we have to make the most from what we have. I have to apologize again for my emotional response as it was uncalled for. There could be some true that ultimately stem cells are where its at but who knows theres some many other research programs going on. Lets just have our fingers crossed and in mean time lets try to make the best of what we have.

There is a full article on Rob Summers in new mobility magazine. I posted the link awhile back. The second candidate has been selected from Kessler rehab and they are very interested in the results. It is extremely demanding to become a candidate, for example over 100 hours of locomotion training. Mr Summers was a workout fiend, spend years moving from quad to para.
