Do you think that the stem cell treatment can help paraplegic to walk again? I have heard that only few people regain their sensation and rewalk again afetr the stem cell treatment. Shall i go under this treatment or it's just a waste of money?

Olfactory Mucosa Autograft Transplantation. It's worth a look. More for sensory function than motor function, but still interesting.It was started in Lisbon, Portugal, by Dr Carlos Lima. Just interesting that the clinical trials there started in 2001, and there are some interesting findings in the clinical trial reports. I have the pdf copies if anybody is interested in reading them. There is also something going on in Russia, so look for it as well. I have met someone who has been to Russia for treatment, and it has helped with circulation and sensory function. For a first person account of the treatments in Russia, visit watchmewalk.com

re: Lima and Russia

Dr Lima's success with treating SCI is fairly amazing and there is a large amount of documentation to support it.
Here is the link to the best version of the paper -

I am gathering some info on one of his recent successes and will post it asap.

The Russian stem cell clinic is most likely CICT - the Center for Immunotherapy and Cellular Technology in Russia. I have less info on them but I hear good things. They are closed until the spring so if you don't get a response, one should be forthcoming in the next few months.

i have read alot too but i beleive all i have read can not be lies,one of my physiotherapists has a quadra who just came back from a stem cell treatment.his hands have improved after two months of therapy,he can now sit and stand with a backslab,i am monitoring his progress.if stem cells can give room for improvement why not if not? if we can acheive results that take years to acheive in months,why not just try it.am still carrying on with my research on it.
