Yes, please do. I consider Israel a very, very advanced country as far as research and medical progress are concerned and I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear one day that it is Isreali scientists who have finally discovered a cure for cancer. As for smoking: never fear, I never, ever smoke anywhere it's not wanted or causes discomfort, but a cigar bar...hm!! We'll see.

Such good news! Israel never ceases to amaze me with what they discover for all of humanity! Astounding! sammy
Byt he way, I have seen pictures of your handsome sons! Thank you for the comment on my daughter! She lives 120 miles from me so we do not get to see each other too often! Hopefully she will be moving closer to me in a few months! She keeps talking about it!

I read Zen's post and your response...
...which seemed to clarify things...for me at least.
If it was me, I would try anything to combat MS, but, I'm sure she has her reasons for not wanting to go, which might go beyond the stem-cell treatment.
For me, it would be the time and money involved.

Yes, disadvantages breed creative minds. Israel is evidence of that. Yet, a way must be found for their great minds to be focussed on things other than war. Yet, on the heals of the discussion at Davos - Peres v. Erdogan - I am at a loss to see that happening soon. Too bad!!

mal....Of course.....seeing my name in your header "pulled me in". I have a reply but, it was rather lengthy so I made it a post. So, thanks for forcing me to be productive today. Now, (seriously) I'm "fatigued"...my eyes are burning......gotta go nap. THIS is the face of MS.
