Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 THere was a recent article in a local paper about cord blood helping some kids with CP, and someone posted on a local group that the Dr. Show or something like that had some kids that were helped on today. I've never heard of it being a treatment for apraxia.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 In Canada approximately about January of this year (?)..... I saw a TV newscast of a CP toddler who had been completely cured of ALL his symptoms using his own cord blood. Believe me, this is worth looking into!

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Turn on the Doctors right NOW and they are showing a CP child who underwent this procedure at Duke University! Talk about timing.... If you miss it, there is probably a repeat tonight or go to their website for more information. Janice Mother of Mark, 13 [sPAM][ ] cord blood and speech apraxia???

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi, I just returned from Duke this evening after having my daughter reinfused with her cord blood. She has CP, and apraxia and dysarthria as well. The doctor told me that it takes several months for the cells to have any affect, but I will post if we do see any good results. I am hoping for speech improvement more than anything else. From: Colleen Somerville <colleen.somerville@...> Subject: RE: [ ] cord blood and speech apraxia???
