NAME: Robert Naugle
COUNTRY: U.S.A.
AGE: 64
 DIAGNOSIS: ALS
REASON FOR COMING FOR TREATMENT: Had ALS symptoms for nearly ten years.
TREATMENT: Umbilical Cord Stem Cell and Nerve Growth Factor Injections with Rehabilitation Therapy.
START OF TREATMENT: October 25, 2004
BEFORE THE TREATMENT: Speech slightly slurred, could only walk a short distance without walker, weakness in the arms.
AFTER THE TREATMENT: Did not notice differences on his own but his friends say he is walking better. Slight increase in hand strength on both arms as tested by grip meter.
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.
