Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) left Mia with poor balance, fatigue, garbled speech and poor coordination. She felt her wonderful life slipping away from her. An English teacher, she was losing the ability to make it through a full school day. In this week's video here at StemCellsChina Mia discusses her condition and the changes friends and colleagues saw following adult stem cell treatments. Click here to see Mia's PLS video.

A passionate writer, Mia has had a blog at StemCellsChina for the past year. Follow her today.

Skyler in the US Press

Check out Skyler Goodwin's write-up at ABC15. They note "Two-year-old Skyler Goodwin was born almost completely blind, unable to see anything except for changes in light. Now Skyler can see 12 inches in front of her face, thanks to an operation overseas." We're cheering for Skyler. Maybe the US will have something available in ten years. But Skyler is seeing more today.

Valerie and Dean's Blogs

Valerie's updates continue along with news of a return to China. Improvements were summarized best in her words, "WOW WOW WOW and WOW!" Check out Valerie's ONA Patient Experience and video here.

Dean's apparently getting some of that "spontaneous improvement" so many ONH patients are finding in China. His vision has gone from 20/600 to 20/300 in his right eye following a new transplantation procedure for adult stem cells. This should help him out as he gets behind the wheel for some country driving.

Cracking Open the Vault

We've been cleaning up the StemCellsChina site, making it more accessible, easier to read and easier to watch interviews. We're happy this week to add the Former Lord Mayor Audrey Jones' Ataxia video. Subtitled and combined into one streaming file, Audrey was one of the first international patients to come to China for stem cell treatments. No more clicking through individual clips. Watch it now at Audrey's Patient Experience.
