The patients, however, require immune-suppressing drugs for life, so that the immune system doesn’t destroy the cells.

This makes this not a miracle cure but more likely a last resort solution for everyone who is for some reason not to be treated with a classical treatment.

The study also reports that two patients in the study died, one likely as a result of complications from that immunosuppression. A second patient, according to the study, died of severe dementia.

The study in question contained only 14 patients so 1 in 14 dying because of the immunosuppressants is kind of a big deal.
