NAME: Don Buckley


COUNTRY: U.S.A, Florida.

AGE: 63


DIAGNOSIS: Parkinson Disease, stage III (Hoehn/Yahr scale) steadily progressing to IV.

REASON FOR COMING FOR TREATMENT: Don was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in November of 2005. Since then he has been deteriorating rapidly. His main symptoms include: tremors on the left side, muscle tightness, balance problems and weakness.

TREATMENT: 4 injections of neural stem cells through the spinal cord fluid + nutritious cocktail treatment (IV).

BEFORE THE TREATMENT:

Before the treatment Don was suffering from tremors in his left hand, left leg and face muscles. His speech was fast and unclear. His eyes were dry because he could not blink frequently enough. His muscles were tight and weak and he tended to shuffle and drag his legs rather than walk. He used to freeze up in the middle of a movement. He tired very quickly, and felt dull and lifeless.

Don could hardly get out of a bed, he could not button or fasten his clothes, he could not towel himself, lace his shoes or brush his teeth. His handwriting was unreadable, and he could not sign his name.

Don was taking Parkinson’s medications that helped reduce the tremors to a certain extent yet did not reduced the extreme weakness he felt. During the last year he increased his medication dosages twice.

AFTER THE TREATMENT:

The first improvement Don felt during the treatment was that his face muscles stopped trembling and were more relaxed, which allowed him more facial expressions and eased his speech.

His walking and balance improved, and he felt stronger than before. He could get out of bed more easily and his freeze ups stopped.

Before the treatment Don experienced daily off-times (few hours a day, before the medications start to affect and when their influence weakens, when his symptoms got very severe). After the treatment Don’s off-times were completely gone.
His handwriting improved significantly as did his ability to grasp small things such as opening a bottle, screwing, holding a pen. After the treatment Don was even able to use chopsticks. Within two months from the beginning of treatment Don’s tremors have almost disappeared.
