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.

And more recently, just two days ago, we had this story about an adult with cerebral palsy improving after adult stem cell therapy.
