Cord Blood Stem Cells Give Spinal Cord Injury patient feeling

In yet another triumph for Stem Cell research, cord blood stem cells (Adult Stem Cells) have helped give Spinal Cord Injury patient,  Bradley Koenning a better quality of life after being totally paralyzed from a dirt bike accident.

Bradley, 21, from Westhoff, Texas, was paralyzed from the neck down following the accident and traveled to Lima, Peru to receive stem cells taken from the umbilical cord blood of new born babies.  These cord blood stem cells are NOT to be confused with the fetal stem cells (stem cells removed from an aborted fetus) recently in the news for causing tumors.

Before the Adult Stem Cells:

• No feeling from the neck down


• No feeling in bladder, didn't know when he would have to use the restroom


• Low blood pressure, Bradley would often pass out because it was so low

After the umbilical cord blood stem cells were implanted:

• Can feel from the chest up


• Can feel his bladder too, knows when to use the bathroom


• Blood pressure equalized, doesn't pass out anymore

Key quotes from the stem cell news article:

The treatment shots cost about $25,000. Because they are not yet approved in the United States, he has to travel overseas to receive them, his mother said. This April, he is going to Tijuana for another treatment.

"Our hope is he will be able to walk again with this treatment. I think it should be available in the U.S.," she said. "There are so many people with spinal cord injuries that need these shots but can't afford them. Since they aren't approved, insurance won't cover them."

Look at that quote directly above.  Don't take it from me, take it from the mother of a Spinal Cord Injury patient.  Think how many millions could be helped if we had Adult Stem Cells available here in the good old USA.
