Adult Stem Cells Improve 2 Multiple Sclerosis Patients From New Jersey

2 New Jersey women with multiple sclerosis who traveled to Mexico for stem cell treatment using Adult Stem Cells are now stating that the stem cell therapy has given them tremendous quality of life improvements.

Donna Vander Ploeg and Nina Palumbo (a famous artist) both went to Mexico in July to receive adult stem cells and are very happy they did.

Stem Cell Treatment Gets MS Patient Out of Wheelchair

Before the stem cell treatment, Donna was wheelchair bound for the last two years. And now, just days after the stem cell therapy, Donna was able to stand up and walk without the wheelchair. A blurry left eye is now able to see clearly thanks to the adult stem cells. And feeling has returned to her hands and feet.

As for Nina, she has improved as well. She was able to walk across her house without any canes and she says there are fewer "two cane days" as well.

Inspired by the Music of Adult Stem Cells

And the reason Nina was inspired to go for stem cell treatment in the first place was a man named Paul Nicholas, a multiple sclerosis patient as well as a musician. Nicholas had traveled to Mexico two years ago.

From the stem cell article:
He was “drooling in a wheelchair” before he received the treatment two years ago. When he returned, his family didn’t recognize him at the airport — and since then, he’s had a new lease on life.
“Going for adult stem cells was the best thing I have ever done for myself, in my whole life,” Nicholas said. “We are always told, ‘There are no second chances’ — and I can now say, ‘Yes there are.'"

Improved Quality of Life For Boy With Cerebral Palsy After Stem Cell Therapy

The parents of a 2 year old boy in Portsmouth, England are delighted with the improvements in their son with cerebral palsy just 6 weeks after a stem cell treatment using his own adult stem cells.

Harvey Telford's parents say they have seen a massive improvement in the quality of life in their son after the stem cell therapy that was done in Germany.

This stem cell success story sounds very similar to the one I posted last week on stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy. Perhaps the United States will take note and start helping these patients with cerebral palsy too!

Before the Stem Cell Treatment in Germany

• Couldn't drink from a straw


• Could only walk on his tip toes


• Back was always arched


• limited motion on both sides of his body and tongue

After the Adult Stem Cells Were Implanted

• "The day after the treatment I had a drink with a straw in it and he drank from it for the first time."


• Could walk normally, flat on his feet


• Now can sit straight, back no longer arched


• Improved motion on both sides of his body and tongue

From the stem cell article:

'We are just so glad we have done it, we want to go back next year for another round.

'We are so stunned at the improvements we have seen in him in just six weeks.'

Harvey had bone marrow extracted from his hip, which was processed in a lab at the specialist centre near Dusseldorf, where he received the treatment.

The quantity of his stem cells was checked, and found to be fine, before it was re-injected back into his body to get to work healing his damaged cells.

Not A Cure- But Adult Stem Cells Give Hope and a "Push"

Harvey's mother says- 'There was a chance it wouldn't work but if anybody was in the position we were in you would give it a shot.

'It shows there is hope out there. It's not a cure but it has given him that push.'

Saving For Next Stem Cell Treatment

Harvey's parents were so happy with the results of the first stem cell treatment using Harvey's own Adult Stem Cells that they are already saving up to go back for more stem cell therapy.

Stem Cell Therapy can also help adults with cerebral palsy!

Peripheral Artery Disease Patients Save Their Legs Through Stem Cell Therapy

In a stem cell research study, 39 out of 44 patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) and treated with stem cell treatment using their own Adult Stem Cells have had their legs saved from amputation.

87% Success Rate For Stem Cell Treatment

In a stem cell clinical trial, 60 peripheral artery disease patients, all of them smokers and many with Diabetes, had their own stem cells injected into their legs in an effort to save the legs from amputation. The 6 month follow up results are in for the first 44 patients and I repeat 39 had their legs saved. That is 87%. Not too shabby.

As If We Needed More Proof to Stop Smoking...

Dr. Vijayaragavan, Head of the Department of Vascular Surgery, Sri Ramachandra University, Chennai, is conducting the stem cell research trial. He says that the 5 peripheral artery disease patients in which the stem cell therapy did not help-- those patients didn't stop smoking even after the adult stem cells were implanted!!

From the stem cell article:

The injection of stem cells would therefore help in creating new collaterals and these would provide the vital conduit for blood flow to the parts of the leg below the block. “The stem cells injected help in angiogenesis,” said Dr. Vijayaragavan.

“We did not see any great difference in angiogenesis between the two groups [one that got stem cell injections very close to the blood vessel, and the second group that got injections close to the vessel and as well as into the main artery above the block],” he said.

Stem Cell Research- A Case Study

We first got word of this stem cell research study in February when Dr. Vijayaragavan presented early results of his study in New York at a Cardiovascular Research Foundation meeting. There, he showed a case study of a 64 year old:

“These spots were along the blocked arteries. In four weeks, his pain came down. In eight weeks, he could walk. By the 12th week, he could get back to his daily routine with no trouble,” says Dr Vijayaraghavan.

Nothing to Lose - Why Not Adult Stem Cells?

As I said back in February, this is a no brainer.  The adult stem cell treatment should be a standard therapy for any peripheral vascular disease patient who is facing amputation.  The patient has nothing to lose (the procedure consists of simple injections of the patient's own stem cells into his leg)  and everything to gain.  It is a shame that this isn't available in the United States.

Adult Stem Cells Help Improve Optic Nerve Hypoplasia

A young Texas boy with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia says his vision has improved already just one month after having Adult Stem Cells implanted in China.  Lawrence E Brown III and his parents went to China after being inspired by  young Colorado teen Macie Morse, a girl who also has optic nerve hypoplasia and who was able to see AND get her driver's permit after the stem cell treatment in China.

No Treatment for Optic Nerve Hypoplasia Before Stem Cell Therapy

Optic Nerve Hypoplasia is a disease in which the optic nerve fails to develop leaving the patient with little to no vision.  Up until the adult stem cell therapy in China, there was no treatment for this disease.  In other words, the patient was unable to be helped at all for this condition.

Enter a stem cell treatment company in China, they came up with a protocol for Optic Nerve Hypoplasia using adult stem cells from cord blood and now these people can improve their vision.

Already Improvements in Vision, Hopefully More to Follow

It is still early, but already Lawrence is seeing improvements, from the stem cell article:

By July 1, Lawrence's eyes began to itch, which he interpreted as a hopeful sign since previous patients had the same response from the therapy. On July 9, the doctors in Qingdao told him that his vision had improved slightly. "Today, I was able to see a candy wrapper on the floor," reads one entry from his blog from China. Colors became more vivid, and he could see them farther away than he could previously. He said he could detect movement that he couldn't see before. He could see the white lines of crosswalks from his taxi, something he couldn't do before. He could distinguish red flowers as individuals, rather than one big mass of color.

A Brighter World For Her Son Lawrence "was well worth it"

And Lawrence's parents had something nice to say too:

We are now taking our 7,000 mile journey back home. Lawrence is so happy with the sight he has received from God. Just having a “brighter world” for my son was well worth it. I would do this and more all over again for my children. I know that the man above has much more sight in store for Lawrence in these next 9-12 months.

Lawrence is the latest optic nerve hypoplasia patient to be helped by stem cell therapy from adult stem cells. Before Lawrence, we have featured:

Hayley Pelletier- Hayley's mother says after the stem cell treatment-  "“It’s been incredible,” Pelletier said. “Basically, her whole quality of life was just bumped up 110 percent. She’s so much happier.”

Before that there was Jakob Bielski from Canada

We added Dakota Clarke , her mom said “It’s been worth every single penny to see the changes in her.”

A few weeks before that, we added Macie Morse who can now see well enough to drive after her stem cell therapy.

And before that Coby Fend’s mother said ““We are talking about going back — we’d almost be crazy not to, because right now it’s the best thing going in the entire world.”

And we also had Connor Corkern - He’s doing great. He is doing wonderful. It’s like we’ve got a totally new baby, Coye Corkern said

We had Cameron Petersen - Grandma Petersen said “There was nothing for Cameron before this treatment. Now, his world is limitless.”

Lydia Black- From her father - “the treatment is already having a huge effect on her life, and he is glad that she was able to receive stem cell treatment in China. ”

Lydia Olmstead and Rylea Barlett - “After her second treatment, we started to notice a change,”

Savannah Watring - “She said hello to herself in an elevator (after seeing her reflection). It blew everyone away. We weren’t expecting that.”

Xavier Carballo- 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.

Cerebral Palsy Stem Cell Treatment

Caleb Turner, a 2 year old boy from New Zealand, with severe cerebral palsy has made many improvements in his quality of life after his stem cell treatment using adult stem cells from cord blood 7 months ago in Mexico. Yes, the Turner family had to fly from New Zealand to Mexico for this stem cell therapy.

However, they are very happy they did make the effort as the adult stem cells helped Caleb immensely.  Caleb has severe cerebral palsy as a result of a massive brain bleed days after his birth.

Before the Stem Cell Therapy in Mexico

• 30-50 seizures per day
• Showed no emotion- couldn't tell if he was happy, sad, sick etc.
• Choked when he ate
• Couldn't walk, talk, or roll over

After the Adult Stem Cell Treatment

• Down to 4-5 seizures per day!!
• Laughs, cries, smiles-  Mrs. Turner says "to see a smile on his face is priceless"
• Now has an easier time eating
• Now can clap his hands, roll over and has better trunk control

Going Back for a Second Helping of Adult Stem Cells

The Turner family was so happy with the changes in Caleb after the first stem cell treatment, that they are planning to go back to Mexico again for a second stem cell therapy.  To do this, they are holding an art auction to raise the money needed (approximately $30,000 US for treatment/travel).

From the stem cell article:

"When you do see improvements, it's hard not to give him that opportunity. He deserves it. We can't sit back and do nothing," Mrs Turner said.

"To hear him laugh or cry, or see a smile on his face is just priceless. Now, I know when something is not right."

If you wish to help the Turners raise money for a second stem cell treatment, you can email Mrs. Turner at shirley.turner@slingshot.co.nz

Why Can't We Get Adult Stem Cells in our Country?

The Turners are not the only family from New Zealand who have had stem cell success traveling to the North American continent, previously I have covered the story of Maia Friedlander who had her own cord blood stem cells implanted at Duke University.  The results?  Seems very similar to Caleb Turner-

“We just can’t believe the change in her. Maia is now talking, hugging us, playing and getting up to mischief with her sister and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

She’s had a second chance at life and we can now have the family life we’d always dreamed of.
