From everything I have read, stem cells aren't there yet as a treatment for PD. Here's what Michael J. Fox Foundation, which leads in research says: https://www.michaeljfox.org/understanding-parki... There are a lot of charlatans out there. Save your money.

I had a stem cell treatment 3 years ago. There was no noticeable improvement in my condition.

I agree with Fran. Please check to see what clinical trials are available. They are working on stem cell but I don't think its in trials yet.
