THIS WONDERFUL STORY FEATURES A MEMBER OF WCASCE'S SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD- DR. ZANNOS GREKOS:

In March, Andre Lampkin, 20, was facing the amputation of his legs and arms.

But an experimental treatment using his own stem cells to stimulate tissue growth is giving the former L.D. Bell High School wide receiver hope after meningitis damaged his extremities.

Two weeks after treatment, the soles of his feet and palms of his hands are softening, his circulation has improved, and his right foot is moving, said Dr. Zannos Grekos, the cardiologist who is treating Lampkin, now at the hospital in Naples, Fla., where Grekos is based."It looks like we have already saved his legs and arms," Grekos said. "Now we're hoping to save most of each foot and his hands."

Lampkin's medical odyssey has taken him from his home in Bedford to a hospital in an island country for a treatment the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not approved. (ANOTHER NO-BRAINER THE FDA HASN'T APPROVED, I'M SHOCKED! MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE WAITED 20 YEARS FOR THE CLINICAL TRIALS TO BE COMPLETED, NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT ANDRE AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS NEED ADULT STEM CELL TREATMENTS TODAY! - DM)

ANDRE WAS LUCKY HE HAD AN AUNT WHO WAS INTERNET SAVVY:

There (Parkland Hospital in Dallas- DM)they planned to amputate his legs at the knees and his arms at the elbows.

But an aunt searched the Internet for other treatments and found Grekos, who was using adult stem cells to stimulate tissue regrowth, improve circulation and reduce diabetic amputation rates. Grekos, director of cardiology and vascular disease at Regenocyte Therapeutic in Florida, flew to Dallas to escort Lampkin and his mother to the facility.

"If there was any hope of helping this young man we wanted to offer it," he said.
