Newly Discovered "DNA Vaccine" May be Medical Breakthrough for MS Sufferers—Presents Alternative to Destroying Human Embryos
"The adult stem cells and these other nonembryonic types of treatments are the ones where the real success happens."
(Montreal, Quebec)—Researchers have found a promising new treatment that may be successful in slowing or stopping the progress of multiple sclerosis. The discovery, called the "DNA Vaccine" was developed without using any embryonic stem cells.
According to the report by Citizen Link, the treatment works by manipulating a person's DNA, so it will reduce the attack on the "protective coating" around nerve fibers in the brain—which is caused by MS.
Dr. Amit Bar-Or explained, "The idea of these DNA-vaccine approaches would be to modulate or suppress just those cells that you might consider the bad guys cells, while sparing the rest of the immune system." (Photo: Dr. Amit Bar-Or–Neuroimmunology)
"Unethical science tends to be a poisoned fruit," added David Prentice, senior fellow for life sciences at Family Research Council. "You don't need to go that direction. The adult stem cells and these other nonembryonic types of treatments are the ones where the real success happens."
