I'm happy to announce we have another
Adult Stem Cell success story to share with you today. This begins as a sad story, but with a happy ending. In 2004, Thomisha Harris, of Oregon gave birth to twin boys. However, one of them, Terell, had problems almost immediately and began to swell and weaken. He was diagnosed with ( familial)
hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
HLH is a disease in which lymphocytes and macrophages fail to commit suicide when they are no longer needed. Instead, they attack normal cells and inhibit essential processes such as the production of blood platelets.
HLH is a very rare disease, but is believed to come from flawed genes. Unfortunately, the Harris' had passed on this gene to Terell who died after 10 weeks.
Undeterred, Mrs. Harris had twins again about 2 years ago. The story was almost the same. Taylor, a baby girl, developed HLH. Luckily, this time the doctors were prepared and treated Taylor with
stem cell therapy:
But doctors had braced for Taylor's problem, tracking down two pregnant women whose biologic makeup closely matched the baby girl's. When one of those women delivered, medics saved blood from her umbilical cord and transplanted it into Taylor, rebuilding her sick blood system. "The doctors are saying it's a cure," says Harris, a Portland jewelry designer. Taylor today is a healthy toddler, "telling us no and getting into things and very curious . . . . We were just blessed."Full article here
