Re: help/stem cell progress report site

[Guest guest]

I had the cord/blood stem cell transfusion by Biomark 3 months ago to the day.

I cannot find the stemcellresource site either, it has been taken off, why? I do not know.

As of today, I have not noticed any difference, good nor bad. I will wait till the 6 month mark to judge whether or not it has had any effect on me.

Anyone who wishes to ask me any questions can e-mail me , be glad to help. Kiki

Thanks, but the site we are looking for is not from Biomark The site was made by a woman who had the Cord/blood and others who received wrote there journal entries about it. I sent mine, but the site is no longer up. it was...........http://turn.to/stemcellresources

Stem cells from fat used to repair girl's skull

Doctors report damaged bone grew back after surgery

The Associated Press

Updated: 12:46 p.m. ET Dec. 17, 2004

Surgeons have used stem cells from fat to help repair skull damage in

a 7-year-old girl in Germany, in what's apparently the first time such

fat-derived cells have been exploited to grow bone in a human.

advertisement

The girl had been injured two years before in a fall, which destroyed

several areas of her skull totaling nearly 19 square inches, the German

researchers reported.

Other surgeons had failed to correct the defects, and the girl wore

a protective helmet. Her brain could sometimes be seen pulsating through

the missing areas of her skull.

But several weeks after the stem-cell surgery, she was able to leave

her helmet behind, the researchers report in the December issue of the

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery. The skull is now smooth to the

touch, the missing parts replaced by thin but solid bone, said Dr. Hans-

Howaldt of the Justus-Liebig-University Medical School in Giessen, Germany.

The child was not identified.

Howaldt, who performed the surgery last year, said the damage was too

extensive to be repaired with bone grafts from her body. He said the hope

was that if bits of the child's bone were mixed with stem cells, the cells

would turn into bone-building cells that would create additional bone.

That appears to have happened, Howaldt said in a telephone interview

Thursday.

"I cannot prove that our success comes from the stem cells alone," he

said, "but the combination of the two things simply worked."

‘A very big deal'

In August, other German doctors reported growing a jaw bone in a man's

back muscle and transplanting it to his mouth to fill a gap left by cancer

surgery. The researchers used bone marrow, which also contains stem cells,

to help grow the bone. But it's not clear whether the stem cells were responsible

for the bone growth.

So Roy C. Ogle of the University of Virginia, an expert in skull reconstructive

surgery who has been studying bone regeneration from fat-derived cells,

said he considered the new report to be the first indicating that any kind

of stem cell had been used to grow bone in a human.

"It is a very big deal," said Ogle, who called the study a landmark.

He agreed that the study didn't prove that stem cells provided the new

bone. But it also indicates that the implanted cells did no harm, which

has been a concern with using stem cells in people, he said.

Ogle said many surgeons would have augmented the child's bone with a

mineral paste or collagen instead of stem cells. Howaldt said he believes

it's better to use the body's own tissue.

Howaldt and his colleagues treated the skull in the same operation that

recovered bone from the girl's pelvis and about 1.5 ounces of fat tissue

from her buttocks. The bone was milled into chips about one-tenth of an

inch long and placed in the missing areas of the skull. Then surgeons added

the stem cells to the bone chips. The cells had been extracted from the

girl's fat in a laboratory while surgeons prepared the girl's skull.

Howaldt said the bone chips appeared to instruct the stem cells to make

more bone. While the new bone should grow as the child grows, she's old

enough that her skull won't grow much more anyway, he said.

I got my cord stem cells in October and have just passed the two-

month mark. They say it takes three to six months to show up. I

feel great although my primary desire for better signals to my left

leg has not materialized just yet. Overall, my energy and stamina

are very good.

Several people who have had BioMark's Cord Blood Stem Cell Treatment

have kept us updated (Including L who used to have the Stem

Cell Resources WebSite)on our Histamine/LDN Message Board:

If you have trouble locating some of the Testimonials, go to the

bottom of the Message Board front page and SEARCH for Stem Cells or

Kiki,

I also received stem cells from Biomark in June 04. I would very much like to know what happened to the website. Please let me know if you find out what happened?

Hi lee,

You never said how you are doing. Are you seeing a lot of changes?

I miss the Stem Cell Resorces site as well because I would like to

know how others are doing, although I do communuicate with three

people who got their stem cells in mid-October. The four of us are

waiting for the 3 to 6 month window for improvements to show. I am

doing much better although I stopped taking the Rebif in mid-

November. Just that seemed to make a positive difference. Now the

path is clear for the stem cells to do their thing.

I can positively reinforce the statements about exercise and

supplements. I have found that both weight training and arobic

exercise are essential and should be combined with LIQUID vitamins

and minerals from a reputable company that complies with GMP (Good

Manufacturing Pactices). Good supplements, started in May, have

increased my energy and stamina and helped me exercise more. LDN,

started in August, has helped with sleep and bladder control. I do

have the reported muscle stiffness in the mornings, and that can be a

positive thing because it reminds me to stretch! Stopping Rebif in

November has contributed to an overall feeling of well-being. As for

the Cord Stem Cells in October, I will report later.

Wow, This sounds positive. I am on the ldn My dose was increased to 4.5

mg I am interested in the whole stem cell front.. Are they your own stem

cells? Roxanne Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year

The stem cells are umbilical cord stem cells from (screened and

tested) consenting parents. The blood is taken from the cord, tested

for diseases, and the stem cells are separated from the red and white

cells. They were immediately frozen and then were reconstituted in

the clinic just before they were administered by I.V. injection. The

cells we received in October were from England.

Many parents are saving their babies' stem cells for use later in

their lives should the need arise.

I have read reports of a patient's own stem cells being gathered,

cultivated, and then injected into the site where they are needed. I

do not know any details about how well this method works, just as I

am waiting to see how well the cord stem cells are working for me.

My internist, not my neurologist (who does not know that I had the

therapy), was of the opinion that stem cells are the best bet for me,

considering that finding a proven MS " cure " with FDA approval is

unlikely in my lifetime. I am 62.
