MAN OUT OF WHEELCHAIR AFTER STEM CELL THERAPY

A man with a spinal cord injury suffered 10 years ago has improved his quality of life tremendously after receiving adult stem cells in a new stem cell treatment.  Paralyzed in a roofing accident, Jason Slawson was in a wheelchair for 10 years before he went for stem cell therapy and now is using a walker.

LIFTED OUT OF DEPRESSION AS WELL AS HIS WHEELCHAIR

The stem cell treatment has given Jason confidence as well as lifting him out of depression he was feeling (not to mention lifting him out of his wheelchair).  From sleeping all day to forget about his depression to working 7 days a week after the stem cell therapy.

BACK TO WORK AFTER ADULT STEM CELL TREATMENT

From the stem cell article:  Progress was immediately apparent, muscles he had not used in a decade were contracting and spasms that were violent enough to shake the walls in his home subsided.  He admits the road to recovery is still rocky at times.  “I am still using the walker and some days I’m not strong enough to make it in public, but I use it every day when I am at home,” Slawson said. “There are days when my legs instantly buckle.”

ARE ADULT STEM CELLS  A FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH?

Slawson said he believes that in taking the steps to get back on his feet, he may have discovered the fountain of youth.  As his muscles are slowly regenerating and feeling is returning to his lower extremities, Slawson said the stem cell therapy also cured carpel tunnel syndrome.  “Before I went for treatment I needed surgery to repair my wrists, I was in a lot of pain from 10 years of gripping and pulling myself in my wheelchair,” Slawson said, with a grin. “Today, I stopped to look at myself in the mirror - and I think I am looking younger.”

MOTHER KNOWS BEST

Jason's mother also sees the difference - Schirman said the $40,000 the family pulled together to send Slawson and his wife to the treatment center was the best investment they could have made for their son’s future. She said he is a changed man who is now staring life in the face instead of hanging his head in defeat.

While she said the physical improvements are more than she ever imagined, she knows the emotional and mental healing far outweighs those benefits.  “More important than the physical progress is his renewed sense of self-confidence and hope,” Schirman said. “He is willing to take risks again, gets out every day and is even talking about raising a family of his own.”

FACT:  Female stem cells are better at regeneration than male stem cells. 
 
QUESTION:  Is this why women have fewer heart attacks? 
ANSWER:  Actually, women don't have fewer heart attacks than men. 
 
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, killing 292,188 women in 2009—that’s 1 in every 4 female deaths.¹

Although heart disease is sometimes thought of as a "man's disease," around the same number of women and men die each year of heart disease in the United States. Despite increases in awareness over the past decade, only 54% of women recognize that heart disease is their number 1 killer.²
 
The fact is, women have heart attacks at about the same rate as men...but their stem cells ARE still better.  Male or female, if you have cardiac disease, there is hope!

Female stem cells could be better for heart repair, disease treatment - Nov 16, 2014
 
Above is a pig heart, which has been stripped of all its cells, leaving only the scaffolding to grow a new heart with human stem cells. This approach may be used in the future to repair heart damage or even generate new hearts for transplantation. Pig hearts are used because they are of a similar size and complexity to human hearts.

 “We always knew women were awesome,” said Doris Taylor, director of  Regenerative Medicine Research at the Texas Heart Institute. “Now we have the science to back it up.”
