by the way this story has been mentioned alot on the news lately here in Australia. It's good to see they are taking a leap of faith and trialing it on humans.

Only problem I have with the story is that it was 18 months after her injury when she started the injections and started to get the feeling back. That is a time frame that alot of people without any type of treatment start getting more back. Show me the same thing on some one after 15-20 years and it might look a little more like their on to something. But I'm not up for going to a rogue Dr. in India anytime soon.

Hello Eveybody!

We are back from China where my Husband Kevin has had umbilical stem cells treatment & I am going to tell you all about it as promised before we left.
We went to Nanshan Hospital in Shenzhen ,where Kevin has had 6 stem cells treatments , 4 in the intrathecal space and 2 IV concomitently with acupuncture and intense physio.
His improvements are as follow:
-increased stamina
-increased joints flexibility
-100% feeling in his gluts & hips
-left hand opened 50%
- right hand opened 80% (both hands were in a permanent fisted position before treatment)
-can lift his legs back in bed without help
-increased dexterity and strenght in right hand ,can pick up his water bottle (500 mls)
-bends his knees when walking, before he was moving his legs from the hips.
- can feel and move his "pinky"in the right hand ( before it was numb & unfunctional)
-decreased spasms so we were able to decrease his Baclofen to 90mg daily instead of 160 mg daily which he was taking before.
-no oedema anymore
I will keep you posted with any more changes .

Hi Karen
We live in Chiang Mai & we love it too.
We hope that there will be more improvement .We have booked for the next treatment session. Whilst there we met people that have returned for more treatment and the results were nothing short of spectacular.
