The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is very concerned that stem cell therapies are being sold around the world before they have been proven safe and effective.
Stem cell therapies are nearly all new and experimental. In these early stages, they may not work, and there may be downsides. Make sure you understand what to look out for before considering a stem cell therapy.
From what I've read stem cell research is still in the early phases.
Cracking Down on Stem Cell Tourism

What exactly is Stem Cell Transplantation?
Thanks
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/stem-cell-transplant/MY00089A stem cell transplant is the infusion of healthy stem cells into your body. A stem cell transplant may be necessary if your bone marrow stops working and doesn't produce enough healthy stem cells. A stem cell transplant can help your body make enough healthy white blood cells, red blood cells or platelets, and reduce your risk of life-threatening infections, anemia and bleeding.
You're right, the link is a year old but I don't think something like clinics offering unproven treatments is going to change in just a year. If anything this issue more likely to have gotten worse.
A stem cell transplant is what some people call a bone marrow transplant. It is good for blood platelets but despite the media story I don't know of it doing much else.

Both links took me to Dr. Rajputs website.Thank you for replying.So do you think that newspaper article is a hoax?
Both links took me to Dr. Rajputs website.
Just the fact that it was made to look like a newspaper site instead of his own makes me very suspicious.
Becool - have you checked out the incredible work that is being doing with Neurofeedback?
Check out the http://EEGInstitute.com where my daughter did therapy. They do work with both AD/HD and seizures. If you have any questions don't hesitate to send me a private message.
There is a lot of information on nutrition on this site, and links to info, and research off site. As for specific exercise, that I do not know about. However, I do know that exercise in general is always a positive thing to do for better health.
Progressive relaxation tends to be helpful as well, especially before going to sleep: http://www.innerhealthstudio.com/passive-progressive-relaxation.html
ADD/ADHD video just worked fine for me. Perhaps go to their Youtube page and try from there.
