Muhammad Ali seeks treatment in Israel

American boxing legend Muhammad Ali will undergo a new type of treatment for Parkinson’s, a disease that has debilitated his health for decades. The initiative comes from the company Brainstorm, of Israel, specializing in biotechnology.
According to the company spokesperson, the former pugilist’s daughter, Rashida Ali, revealed that her father is keen to try the treatment using stem cells. “Muhammad Ali’s daughter contacted us after hearing of our work with adult stem cells and assured us her father wants to take part in the tests we are doing.”
The treatment, initially meant for patients suffering from sclerosis, may be amplified to treat Pakinson’s disease patients, like the pugilist. According to Brainstorm, the tests performed on rats to combat sclerosis, including Parkinson’s, were a success. The next step is to prove its effectiveness on humans.
Muhammad Ali ended his career as a champion heavyweight in 1981. In 1984 he was diagnosed with the disease, which seriously affects one’s ability to communicate. Rumors abound that the head trauma from boxing caused the Parkinson’s, but was never scientifically proven.

Why would they wanna treat him? He's a schavarta worse than that he's Muslim!
-
Maybe its experimentation to help Jews or improve medical technology. Ali is finished anyway.
-
I just pray the new type of treatment will prove successful and be available soon.
-
If it backfires on him, no Jew is hurt. If it works on him many Jews can be treated. Win-win. Just the steak and potatoes of the matter.

Funny, isn't it, that he didn't seek treatment in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or any other number of technologically advanced countries that practice his adopted religion.

Maimonides was the doctor for many prominent Muslims in his day; "Imagine an evil Jew being my doctor; he is so talented I must defy Allah and not kill him".
Muslims are talentless goobs, but they know the value of a good Jewish doctor.

I wonder if these are embryonic stem cells.

That is funny.

I wonder if these are embryonic stem cells.
From what I read the treatment is based on stem cell from the patient's bone marrow.
