Revolting. Glad he's been struck off, and hope that his patients do sue him.

1. I know others with MS who went to the Netherlands
Begged them not to spend all that money on unproven/tested treatments. Desperation is a terrible thing.

2. Thats horrible
Not only is it taking terrible advantage of desperate people but the more people here about fraudulent "stem cell" claims the harder it is to persuade people that there is some real potential for use. Its goddamn controversial enough for courts with no scientific or even real legal basis to try to step in to stop it..:(
