THIS IS ANOTHER FANTASTIC STORY ABOUT HOW ADULT STEM CELLS CAN HELP MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) PATIENTS. IN THE STEM CELL TREATMENT STUDY DESCRIBED IN THE ARTICLE, THE MS PATIENTS WERE FIRST GIVEN CHEMOTHERAPY WHICH DESTROYED THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM AND THEN WERE TREATED WITH THEIR OWN ADULT STEM CELLS TO REBUILD A NEW IMMUNE SYSTEM IN THE BONE MARROW-- A NEW IMMUNE SYSTEM THAT IS FREE OF MS! IMAGINE BEING THE PARENTS OF THIS WOMAN, SEEING HER WALK OFF THE PLANE, THIS STORY MADE MY DAY. -DM
Parents rejoice over daughter's stem-cell miracle
A midnight flight from Ottawa to Vancouver delivered something of a miracle to Surrey couple Jacky and Tom Telder.
There she was, the Telders' youngest child, Leah, walking towards them in the airport lobby late Monday amidst the disembarking passengers, grinning and waving a greeting.
"That was amazing. She walked off. ... I mean, there she was, actually walking," said Jacky of the moment.
Like the patients before her, Leah was required to undergo heavy doses of chemotherapy - enough to completely wipe out her immune system and cause her shoulder-length hair to fall out in chunks.
Twice, she endured an uncomfortable six-hour procedure that saw her strapped to a chair, unable to even flinch, as a team of specialists carefully siphoned stem cells from her blood.
"If she moved even a little, alarms would beep," said Jacky of the extremely delicate procedure.
The stem cells were then sent to a laboratory where they were "cleaned" before being pumped back into her body.
The theory behind the $4-million study is that the pure stem cells will find their way into the bone marrow and build up a new immune system in the patient, free of MS.
