For the disabled and their families, adult stem cell treatments may offer them the chance to reconsider their conditions and pursue improvements in their health and their quality of life. After suffering a severe infection in 2004, Carl Dean Stevens was put in a medically induced coma. Upon awakening from the coma he had lost his sight. He was diagnosed with Ischemic Optic Neuropathy. He described it to us as a "total dungeon... total darkness" with only the rarest glances of motion breaking through after days of waiting. His eyes were physically fine. The connection to his brain was not.

He spoke with us about the stem cell treatment he received in Hangzhou in 2007 and the improvement he saw in his vision. Adult stem cell therapies using donated non-embryonic umbilical cord blood and patients' own stem cells are available today. Full treatments can be delivered within two weeks for many conditions.
