Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I am very suspicious of these claims because I have seen so many similar stories that have turned out to be scams. The only successful case I know to be real is a case at Duke where a CP child received his own umbilical cord stem cells and showed dramatic improvement. I can't remember the doctor's name off hand but you could find it I'm sure if you google Duke and stem cell treatment. The reason why such embryonic stem cell treatments aren't available in the States is due to the fact that they are experimental and have shown very little success compared to umbilical stem cell treatments. It's all worth looking into for our children but just be careful when you hear about wonderful success stories in third world countries. -Steve deborah_baccan wrote: Hi guys, I just finished watching a show that featured a little boy, much like our kids, however I got the show after it had started and I could not catch his diagnosis. His name is Cleyton Fatheree, the show was on Wealth TV, the name of the show was Wealth on Health Episode 14. Cleyton had a problem on his brain and he had seizures (at his worst time, every minute), his condition was deteriorating very rapidly, he could not hold his head up, lost ability to walk, hear, eat, etc. His parents found Dr. C. Rader, he offers Embrionic Stem Cell Treatment (not available in the US, so they had to travel to the Dominican Republic). After the first treatment, Cleyton showed results, after the second one, more results, after the third one, he got back his ability to walk, eat, sit, hear, he continues to improve. I know that this is Embryonic Stem Cell is a very sensitive topic, however there is research on the way using stem cell from the umbilical cord. I have emailed Wealth TV asking them if they can put the episode online so that we can all watch. I urge everyone to contact them too. I will look up the Dr and try to contact him as well. What I saw today seems to be the answer to many years of praying. I will keep you posted. Deborah --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Steve, I agree with you, what interests me is that they have a lab in California.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I also agree with Steve and Deborah. It's important to bear in mind that the major experts in our children's condition are known to us (Dobyns, Walsh, Pilz, Leventer, Chang etc.). These experts and researchers are up to date on the latest developments in treatments. They are also accredited, trustworthy and responsible resources. I would think when and if stem cell technology gets to the point where it is feasible to apply on a child with PMG, these experts would be involved. If not, I'd have to question the ethics of any doctor/researcher doing stem cell or any other experimental treatment on a child with PMG without involving at least one of the leading authorities on the condition.
