Stem Cell Treatments For Cerebral Palsy Begin In Singapore

Are you or a loved one interested in receiving stem cell treatment? For free information, please fill out our treatment form or email me don@repairstemcells.org and just put TREATMENT in the subject box and the MEDICAL CONDITION in the message.

Singapore Enters World of Stem Cell Research And Treatment

Singapore has just become the latest country to utilize stem cell research using adult stem cells.  A young girl with cerebral palsy is reporting improvement after receiving her own cord blood stem cells which were saved at birth from her umbilical cord.  Georgia Conn, 2 1/2 years old, is believed to be the first child treated in Singapore with her own stem cells.

Georgia- First Child In Singapore To Receive Adult Stem Cell Treatment

Georgia, first child in Singapore to be helped by stem cell research for cerebral palsy.

Stem Cell Treatment Repairs Brain - No Side Effects

Before the stem cell treatment, due to a brain injury at birth, Georgia would suffer more than 50 seizures per day.  Now, thanks to the injection of her own stem cells, Georgia suffers less seizures, has more muscle strength and can sit more than a hour without pain. 

From the stem cell news article:

Mrs Conn, who had an easy pregnancy, said that they signed up to bank cord blood with private blood bank CordLife a week before Georgia was born.

They never thought they would have to use it.

"It took us over 18 months and an enormous amount of research to find information about the potential for using stem cells, if any, and especially using a child's own cord blood to help children with cerebral palsy," said Mrs Conn.

Dr. Keith Goh - Stem Cell Pioneer in Singapore

Georgia was treated by Singapore neurosurgeon and stem cell pioneer, Dr. Keith Goh.  Dr. Goh says " Conventional treatment can improve the muscle tone of the limbs, but it does not solve the root problem of damage in the brain, which controls the body's motor functions.  Injecting cord blood into the patient is believed to result in a significant portion of stem cells going to the brain to repair the damaged neurons."

Stem Cell Therapy For All - Whether You Saved the Cord Blood Stem Cells Or Not

This stem cell treatment is also available in the United States at Duke University where doctors are treating cerebral palsy kids, but only for the children whose parents have stored their own cord blood at birth.  See more on this stem cell research here and here

However, if your child has cerebral palsy, and you didn't save his/her cord blood at birth, please don't think that disqualifies your child from stem cell therapy.   We have seen kids and adults with CP who have improved either using their own adult stem cells taken from their bone marrow  and we also have seen many with cerebral palsy who have been helped from the use of donated cord blood from other children.
