Read this carefully, and I will give you a lesson on how the mainstream media plays us for fools. Yesterday, The Star Telegram in Dallas, Texas ran an article on Jessica Grimm, 27, a young woman who suffered a spinal cord injury at the age of 14 and hasn't walked since.
The title of the article is "Lured by Promise of Stem Cells, Dallas-Ft. Worth residents head abroad for medical treatment"-- Even in the title- people are being "lured" into a death trap. The article starts with their negative slant.
Aside from the title,
the article starts off innocently enough:
A quadriplegic since she was 14, Jessica Grimm learned long ago how to work around her body’s limitations.She lives alone, uses a computer, has a job, even drives a car. But the Arlington student must rely on a coterie of assistants to help her dress, cook and get through each day.Now 27, Jessica Grimm is eager for more independence. So much so that she traveled to Costa Rica last month for a controversial stem cell treatment that’s unavailable in this country. (Why controversial? It is an Adult Stem Cell treatment- Don)
Grimm and her family raised about $20,000 to cover her trip to the Institute for Cellular Medicine, where doctors injected her with adult stem cells."I was actually able to take a few steps on my own before I left, which I’ve never done," she said. "My mom was crying. Then my physical therapist started crying."From that point on the article goes downhill, here's more:
The feat thrilled Grimm, who previously had some mobility in her legs and hand. But she still has no idea whether the treatment actually succeeded. Doctors told her it could take months to see results. And it’s possible that the real credit for her footsteps should go not to the cell injections, but to the strenuous physical therapy she did in Costa Rica.So she couldn't walk for 13 years and then all of a sudden after one month of "strenuous physical therapy" AND ADULT STEM CELLS in Costa Rica, she can take some steps on her own and this newspaper suggests it has nothing to do with the cell injections (the stem cells)?? RIDICULOUS!!!
The article deteriorates from a nice story into a opinion piece on "stem cell tourism" using negative headings like "No Promises Made" and "Driven by Desperation" to play on the fear of us Americans (and the rest of the world) that any medical treatment outside of the United States doesn't work.
I am trying to let the United States and the rest of the world know that there is help outside of the US, and it is in the form of stem cell therapy using Adult Stem Cells. My dream is to see it available everywhere (especially the United States) because it can help millions of people right now- and we do nothing. Therefore, people like Jessica have to be pioneers and go outside the United States to get a stem cell treatment that is very safe with little to zero side effects.
Update: Richard Humphries, a Multiple Sclerosis patient who went to Costa Rica with
Preston Walker for the "controversial stem cell treatment unavailable in this country"
responds to this negative article on his blog. This comes from the horse's mouth so to speak- Richard is speaking from personal experience- go read it.
