Linda Friesen says she left her wheelchair behind in India after undergoing experimental therapy
A multiple sclerosis patient from Saskatchewan who travelled to India to undergo an experimental stem cell treatment is defending the Winnipeg company that recruited her for the therapy and study, which some have called into question.
Regenetek Research has been under scrutiny following media reports this week about its CEO, Doug Broeska.
Broeska had recruited MS patients to take part in the experimental and expensive study, which was administered in India, involving stem cell injections combined with so-called liberation therapy, which involves the widening of veins in the neck.
He was, until recently, also the principal researcher for the study related to the treatment.
However, some patients have questioned Broeska’s qualifications as a researcher. As well, some say the therapy did not work for them, and they were not receive proper followup.
