Multiple sclerosis: NZ woman seeks costly stem cell therapy

From Morning Report, 8:46 am on 5 August 2019

A Wellington woman, Bronwyn Hutchison, who is losing her sight and mobility to multiple sclerosis is trying to raise one hundred thousand $100,000 to travel to Mexico for a radical stem cell treatment.

While damage to her nervous system already caused by MS can't be repaired, the clinic reports the disease's progress is stopped in around 80 percent of patients.

The former litigation lawyer says she has done her homework thoroughly, and the clinic is well respected and world-leading in this treatment. Bronwyn Hutchison talks to Corin Dann.
