CHINA STEM CELL NEWS COMMENTS: Bob had treatment from Dr. Huang in April of 2005. After the treatment, he felt some improvements for two days but said they left after that. He attributed the loss of improvements to hitting his head. When China Stem Cell News spoke with his wife and his friend during his treatment with Beike, both of them said he had many little improvements after Dr. Huang’s treatment but he did not notice them. His friends, however, did.
