Spinal injury regeneration hope

Scientists believe they are close to a significant breakthrough in the treatment of spinal injuries.

The University of Cambridge team is developing a treatment which could potentially allow damaged nerve fibres to regenerate within the spinal cord.

It may also encourage the remaining undamaged nerve fibres to work more effectively.

Doesn't this just drive you nuts? But of course I will continue to hope a little...

Stupid scar tissue.

You do surgery to remove scar tissue...then get more scar tissue from the surgery.

We can only hope~

ME FIRST!!!

Or , at least, save me a place in line till I get there.

hi,
i will never understand the logic that ,makes [eople think that unles a technology is developed in their country and unles their own drug companies are raking in moolah, everything that is going on in the wrold is false and unreliable..
I havbe been a paraplegic for 13 years and have always believed in the accept your injusry and go on with life theory . However after learning about the exciting stuff that autologous stem cells taken from the patients own body were doing I went in for the cure in Chennai in India at Lifeline Multispeciality who use Japanese technology for processing the stem cell. I have found in a few weeks that I am now able to contract some of my thigh muscles.
FOR America wake up , let your people know the facts and stop making things vague and murky and unc;lear for your people and citizens who have faith in you .

hey Mita, congrats. on your therapy/treatment in India. it sounds very promising. Everytime I start feeling really down about recovery I read about some new treatment somewhere. As it is, though, I am reluctant to travel outside my own country (USA) for treatment. Although I do have my passport ready incase some guarenteed and proven miracle comes along. Am I a dreamer or what? I will read what I can find about autologous stem cell therapy and the Lifeline Multispecialty Clinic.
Thanks for you post and future ones. Good luck!

Did i say i was basing it on the fact that they were studies in other countries?? I said what they were doing seemed unreliable not because of where they are, but because of their results and many of the stories being spread. Congratulations on your improvement, but many people have got worse and as medicine is not a strictly regulated in these countries a few people have been conned into having the surgery which has then done nothing for them in fact some people have got worse and lost all of their money. I dont think America is making things merky or unclear i have a fairly good picture of what they have have, because i read the reports. If your going to have a go at america it should be about stem cell research its such crap all the religious protests.
