SCI Treatment Using Own Stem Cells
2 Idaho cousins who suffered spinal cord injuries in separate accidents have improved after treatment using their own stem cells. The adult stem cell therapy in Germany has given both of them quality of life improvements that has thrilled them to no end.
Harold (Bud) Poxleitner, of Cottonwood, and Robert Braucher, of Forest, Idaho both report after the stem cell treatment that:
- Chronic pain has subsided and they both have more feelings in their legs
- the treatment was worth the money and effort
- they are both considering going for more treatment using their own stem cells
From the
stem cell research story:
"It helped me quite a bit. It took the pain and dropped it down to about half of what it was," Poxleitner, 67, said. "And then my legs got real warm. They've never been warm for 40 years, and they just warmed up. Those stem cells must have gone in there and fixed my circulation or something. They're staying real warm now."
Braucher said his improvement may not be quite as pronounced, but is noticeable. "I had a lot of pain in my left leg and I don't have it anymore," he said. "And I'm getting more sensation in the bottom of my right foot. My muscle on my thigh, I can feel a little bit. Other than that, that's about it."
Poxleitner explained the bone marrow is extracted from the hip and stem cells, after being separated out, are injected back into the body as close to the spinal chord injury as possible. Poxleitner was injured in a 1968 logging accident, Braucher in a 2003 automobile accident. Both have been using wheelchairs since.
Just the reduction of pain for Poxleitner and virtual elimination for Braucher is well worth the cost of the trip and treatment, the men said. "I'll tell you what, I couldn't hardly get any sleep before," Braucher said. "Now I can sleep all night. It has made a lot of difference, just getting rid of that pain."

Other SCI patients have gone to Germany and have had some success with their own stem cells.
Justin McCray from Mississippi has improved as well after the stem cell treatment.
