MS and stem cells

To all the people of this earth that "see and send" articles like this to people without actually researching it, at all haha. http://notable.ca/canadian-doctors-have-successfully-reversed-the-effects-of-ms-in-a-patient-using-stem-cells/  Yes, I have read this before.

This "aggressive" treatment killed 1 in every 24 people that took it...Good times. They state this in the ONLY cited study this article has haha http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2816%2930169-6/abstract
I appreciate you trying to help me, I do, but please stop sharing these. The sites that post these just want your clicks. They draw you in by putting "MS", or "miracle, or "cure"  in the title, but the actually studies associated with them are not as nearly as convincing as the word vomit in the article. 

The original article this was pulled from does not even state this Canadian girl is in the stem cell trial yet http://notable.ca/inspiring-toronto-millennial-tackles-ms-with-a-proactive-yes-mentality/.

The only part of this whole article that had any relevance, in my opinion, was where the girl stated "Instead of crippling with the news, Robinson adopted a positive and inspirational outlook that she hasn’t lost sight of."

Having a great attitude, in spite of a crippling disease is really the only take away from all of this nonsense.

That and her illness is probably diet related since the girl also said “I had incontinence issues with both bowel and bladder for about four years. So, I went to my family doctor and they started testing me, but couldn’t really find anything unusual. In the colonoscopy and everything, they said that it just looked like I had IBS and they put me on anti-anxiety pills,” said Robinson. “But I still thought something was wrong, yet that was the end of the road.”

But, that is another story.

Also, "Beware of all articles on FB". Look at citations! None of the actual article is probably true.
