Stem Cell Miracle- Boy With Optic Nerve Hypoplasia Can Now See

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.
We have a growing list of children with either Optic Nerve Hypoplasia or its' close cousin Septo-Optic Dysplasia.  These children have gone to China to receive Adult Stem Cells - they have returned from China with miraculous improvement in their vision and other positive side effercts that help with their development.

Remember, before Adult Stem Cells, there was absolutely no treatment for this disease in which the optic nerve fails to develop.  The patient was sentenced to a life of blindness.  And now, thanks to a company called Beike Biotech,  these children and their families have a better quality of life.  Xavier Carballo, Cameron Petersen, Cody Fend, Savannah Watring, Lydia Olmsted and Rylea Barlett, and Lydia Black are among those on my ever growing list.  I am very happy to announce we have yet another child -  who has been part of a "stem cell miracle"

Connor Corkern is the latest child to be added to the growing list.  Connor, a young boy from Hammond, Louisiana, traveled with his family to China in July 2008 to receive Adult Stem Cells for his optic nerve hypoplasia.  Since then Connor has improved in many ways:

Grandpa Kenny Corkern said:

He™s doing things I never thought he would do, he said. And he's picking up on things a little faster, and he™s getting around better. I can't say enough about him and his mom and daddy, how they take care of him. And I can™t say enough about the people that helped.

And the parents say:


Connor™s progress since getting stem cell transplants six months ago is little short of a miracle, say his parents, Coye and Katie Corkern.


He™s doing great. He is doing wonderful. It™s like we™ve got a totally new baby, Coye Corkern said Wednesday.


Coye Corkern said tests show Connor™s optic nerve has actually grown from the size of an ink pen™s center to about the size of a spaghetti noodle.


Katie admits to thinking about going back to China or to Thailand, which also offers the procedure currently banned in the United States.

I think what if he got a few more transplants, what else would happen, she said.
