" Every month she got fifteen seizures or twenty seizures in one day, big seizures, and she was always full of medicines, and she was very bad always. After the treatment she stopped having seizures. It was only one time. The one day it was fifteen, but she didn’t have it anymore. "
Our video interview above was shot at the Wade home in the United States. We'd like to thank the family for letting us sit with them. If you're having trouble viewing the video click here. If you would like to watch the video at Vimeo please click here.
Age 7 USA
Condition Prior to Treatment
At birth Austin appeared to be a normal healthy child. After five weeks he suffered a serious bleed and swelling of his brain requiring extensive surgery. The cause of the brain bleed was determined to be a Vitamin K deficiency. Following birth he had not received a standard Vitamin K injection.
He was given a 1% chance to live by his doctors.
Austin received two one-day stem cell treatments in Mexico prior to coming to China for treatment using Beike's stem cells. This Mexican treatment involved subcutaneous injections of cell into his abdomen.
Before leaving, Jenny told us she "knew it wasn't a miracle... but any little bit is huge for these kiddos."
Course of Treatment
In 2008 Austin received six packets of umbilical cord blood stem cells in 2008. Two were delivered via IV injection and four were delivered via lumbar puncture (spinal injection). Austin received physical therapy, occupational therapy, electrical stimulation and acupuncture on a daily basis during treatment.
Condition Following Treatment
Catching up with the family in 2010, over two years after Austin received adult stem cell treatment in China Jenny told us she wanted to return to China for Austin to receive more treatment.
During Austin's stem cell treatment, his mother noticed him become more aware of his environment and pickier about his food. Jenny believes the stem cells "awakened his taste buds... because he started refusing all the baby food" he had been eating previously.
Following treatment Austin reduced his seizure medication and took to laughing and moving around more. Whether or not he could see prior to his stem cell treatment in China is unknown but now in lit rooms he's attentive to people walking around.
Comparing improvements between the single-day treatments in Mexico and the month-long treatment in China, Jenny said that in Mexico "we saw a little bit and we definitely don't regret it. But I think we saw more in China. I think that it's a longer and more intensive process."
Summing up the stem cell treatment in China, Jenny said "I think that if you could get it like every six months... if we could do it here and get even one or two shots every month... I just think of what amazing results you might have."
EXPERIENCIAS CON PACIENTES – DERRAME CEREBRAL Nombre: Nora Farkas
País: Hungría
Edad: 9 años
Diagnóstico: Derrame cerebral causando Epilepsia
Razón para venir al tratamiento: Nora fue un bebé prematuro que nació después de 25 semanas de embarazo, lo cual causo un severo derrame cerebral resultando en daños al cuerpo calloso y corteza cerebrales. Dos semanas después de su nacimiento, se le practico una operación donde se hizo un implante de derivación ventriculoperitoneal. Sus padres habían escuchado de otras familias húngaras, cuyos hijos tenían problemas similares a los de Nora y que habían obtenido mejorías a través del tratamiento de Beike, así que ellos decidieron traer a Nora. Tratamiento: Inyecciones de células madre de cordón umbilical y factor de crecimiento nervioso, acompañadas de terapia de rehabilitación.
Inicio del tratamiento: 17 de Junio del 2006
Antes del tratamiento: Nora sufría de epilepsia, la cual era controlada con Trileptal y Lamictal, los cuales permitían que ella no tuviera ningún ataque. Aunque ella no podía hablar, entendía todo lo que escuchaba. Nora no podía masticar alimentos. Nora caminaba, pero no en una forma estable. Debido a que su habilidad de desarrollo fue lenta, Nora era una niña con discapacidad mental. Ella no era capaz de ir al baño por sí misma. Mentalmente Nora tenía dos o tres años y carecía de motricidad fina. Solo podía decir letras como “a” y “o” y su capacidad de concentración era bastante baja, de forma que sus padres debían repetirle veinte o treinta veces algo para que ella pudiera recordarlo. Además de no obedecer órdenes, ella solo podía poner atención a la televisión por cinco o diez minutos.
DIAGNOSIS: Cerebral Infarction occurred in June of 2005.
REASON FOR COMING FOR TREATMENT: He had a spine injury which caused a cerebral infarction.
TREATMENT: A combination of neurotrophic factors and medicines to stimulate the production of neural stem cells in the hypothalamus. (Over a two month period)
START OF TREATMENT: December 28, 2005
BEFORE THE TREATMENT: He could not walk. His right hand was cramped up because of the muscle tension.
AFTER THE TREATMENT (May 30, 2006): Mr. Li could almost walk normally. He could move his right hand and he felt close to normal.
China Stem Cell News Note: We did not get a before video but it is easy to see the difference between the patient at two weeks and the patient after the treatment. Based on this, we are comfortable with the patient’s statement that he was not able to walk before the treatment. The after video was taken on a return check-up of the patient to the hospital.
