Teresa Mason, a director from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia went to China to receive
repair stem cell therapy for her
Olivopontocerebellar atrophy, a specific form of the neurological condition Ataxia. I think I may not be the only one who finds it ironic that someone who works for the organization (the CDC) that may have the most access to information and treatments to rare conditions/diseases in the United States has to travel to China to get the proper (really, the only) treatment known. The United States may be winning the overall medal count in the Olympics now in Beijing, but China deserves another gold medal for being able to help yet another person by making adult (repair) stem cell treatment available to those in need. And unsurprisingly, Teresa Mason is already showing positive results from her stem cell treatment:Mason said while she has experienced immediate results from the treatments, her doctors in China indicate that it will take two to six months for the stems cells to effectively synchronize with her existing cells. She said there are noticeable improvements, although she still feels herself trembling a little when she is tired, and her gait is not completely smooth."However, my balance and speech are much stronger," Mason said. "I know that the stem cell treatments are working, and what is most important now is that I watch my dietary intake and have some form of physical exercise on a daily basis."While in the hospital, Teresa received four doses of 10 million to 15 million umbilical cord stem cells injected into her cerebral spinal fluid via an epidural catheter and through an IV. The 30-day treatment also included rehabilitative sessions six days a week. Those rehabilitative sessions included balance exercises, practice walking in a straight line, running, jogging and going up and down steps without holding on.The Walker family said they are elated to see immediate improvements.Click here to read the whole thing
