Never lose hope in God's mercy

The treatment - known as an autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) - aims to destroy the faulty immune system using chemotherapy.
It is then rebuilt with stem cells harvested from the patient's own blood. These cells are at such an early stage they've not developed the flaws that trigger MS.
Prof John Snowden, consultant haematologist at Royal Hallamshire Hospital, said: "The immune system is being reset or rebooted back to a time point before it caused MS."

Steven Storey was diagnosed with MS in 2013 and, within a year, went from being an able-bodied athlete to needing a wheelchair and losing sensation in much of his body.
He said: "I went from running marathons to needing 24-hour acute care. At one point I couldn't even hold a spoon and feed myself."Within a few days of the transplant he was able to move his toes, and after four months he could stand unaided.


Holly Drewry was just 21 when she was diagnosed with MS and her condition deteriorated after she gave birth to her daughter Isla. She said "Within a couple of months I got worse and worse. I couldn't dress or wash myself; I didn't even have the strength to carry my daughter." Holly needed a wheelchair before her transplant, but after the treatment she walked out of hospital. She said: "It's been a miracle. I got my life and my independence back and the future is bright again in terms of being a mum and doing everything with Isla." Two years on she has suffered no relapses and there is no evidence of active disease on her scans.

Never lose hope in God's mercy

God's mercy? Are you serious? You mean Science and technological advancement which has always been at the forefront of humanity's development. Nothing in here is the work of a mysterious God. In fact, its the very fact that superstitions like religions are excluded from the sciences that we have those advances today. Which God is it anyway? The Christian will tell you its Jesus, the Muslims Allah, the Hindus Krishna, the Ancient Greeks Zeus.

Moreover, the masses of religious people asking for gods mercy do not seem particularly favourable to him as the religious and the non religious both seemingly have the same cancer survival rates, instances of multiple sclerosis,
HIV and the like. The implications of which is that God either simply does not exist or that prayer does not
work as he doesn't care.
