Stem Cell Treatment Helps Yet Another Optic Nerve Hypoplasia Patient

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.
I am happy to feature yet another young child who can see for the first time thanks to Adult Stem Cell research and Adult (Repair) Stem Cells.
Before Repair Stem Cells, Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH), the failure of the optic nerve to develop leaving the child blind, was untreatable- there was nothing conventional medicine or doctors could do to help. Absolutely nothing- until doctors in China started using Repair Stem Cells to help blind children see for the first time.
I have featured Rylea Bartlett, Savannah Watring, Cody Fend,and Cameron Petersen among many who can see for the first time after going to China for Repair Stem Cell treatment.  And today, I have a new boy- Xavier Carballo to add to the list- may the list continue to grow in this new year of 2009.

The title of this article I found in Lakeland, Florida's newspaper- The Ledger  is  'No Regrets for Boy's Experimental Stem Cell Treatment in China' The title is ridiculous and is an early frontrunner for 2009's understatement of the year:

Cindy Carballo said her son has shown significant improvements in vision since he was treated this fall at a hospital in Qingdao, China.

"He has improved dramatically," said Cindy Carballo, 23. "We just keep seeing more and more differences in him, as far as balance, coordination and understanding even of conversation. He's way more independent than he used to be. He's so happy; we're happy."

"No regrets" of her son, the greatest love in her life, making great strides in development and in his eye sight?  And I bet the New York Giants had "no regrets' after winning the Super Bowl last year.  I'm also guessing Michael Phelps had "no regrets" after winning 8 gold medals in Beijing.   However, the important thing is Xavier and his parents are happy- what a great way to start 2009!

Maybe after reading this you are saying to yourself "that is the mother, of course she is hoping for improvement, she just flew to China and spent $30,000,"   Ok, well here is what Xavier's doctor had to say-

Xavier's ophthalmologist, Dr. Jack Guggino of Tampa, said he did a baseline exam on the boy before the trip to China and after his return. He said before the treatment Xavier could only detect hand motion at 1 to 2 feet, and after the treatment he could count fingers at 3 to 4 feet.

"As far as Xavier is concerned, there has been definite and measurable improvement, neurologically and ophthalmologically," Guggino said.

For more information on stem cell treatment in China for Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, you can contact the Beike Biotech (the company responsible for the treatment)  medical director, Dr. Kara Zhang at her email-  dr.zhang@beikebiotech.com

As I finish up this post, Xavier's mother had one more thing to say " "I didn't really have much hesitation," Carballo said. "It's a cure, and you want to go get it. It's not really much of a choice. It's a shame we've got to spend $4,000 or $5,000 just for plane tickets to get our kids treatment."

The goal of the Repair Stem Cell Institute and this blog is to make it so people like Xavier Carballo's mother don't have to go to China to get this simple treatment with no side effects and only upside.  The goal is to make it available here in the United States!
