Improvements Still Occuring
August 22nd, 2007
It has now been over 2 months since my stem cell treatment and I continue to see improvements in my overall strength and endurance. I have been horseback riding for several months now and can feel a big improvement in my balance and core strength. I have two people either side spoting me so I don’t fall forward or back. I am able to ride for almost 30 minutes with very little assistance. At Awakenings Health Institute www.awakeningshealth.org I was free standing at the parallel bar with only someone blocking my knees and someone behind me. When I engaged my gluts I was able to pull away and stand by myself!
I saw Dr. Perlman on July 27th at UCLA for my post assessment since returning from China. She measured improvements in my overall strength especially .5 increase in my left tricep and 1.0 increase in my right tricep. My light touch sensation is now at T4 on my chest. I can free virbation in my right knee longer than before. As soon as I receive Dr. Perlman’s written eval I will post the significant changes.
I have been seeing a had therapist since returning and am seeing small improvements weekly in my thumb movement on both hands and can flex my wrists without gravity My grip has also improved as I can pick up a full water bottle and drink with only one hand.

Please Help Me! My mom has been paralized from the chest down for 4 years now and I was wondering if you could please help direct me where to go to get some information for stem cell procedures in China. I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you so much. My e-mail address is mdprincess258@hotmail.com Bonnie Sinsky Baltimore Maryland
