This area is rife with fraud. Bottom line, I know, I'm a neuro opthamologist, that there has never been a case of regenerating central nervous tissue- particularly a basal ganglion like the optic nerve. The research is going very well, but it's still research.

I can well understand your feelings and know that I would cut off my right arm if it could help cure my child. The problem is that the hucksters know this too, and will tell you what you want to hear.

While definitely worth keeping up with, I would also worry that focusing on regeneration too much might prevent your son from being actively engaged at this very critical, formative period. I wish you the best.
