Autism and Stem Cell Therapy

[Guest guest]

I will be providing some articles on stem cell from Germany from the first firm

to provide this type adult stem cell treatment. This is the same procedure to be

used by the center we are setting up in the Dominican Republic. I provide this

so you can become more familiar with the procedure. You do have my permission

to share any of my posts to this group to inform others.

Autism Patients Show Progress Following Stem Cell Therapy

October 1, 2009

Dusseldorf, Germany (PRWEB) October 1, 2009 -- The XCell-Center has released

interim results from 10 autism patients treated with autologous bone marrow stem

cells. Overall, more than 70% improved following treatment.

Patients reported improvements in cognition, behavior, language, socialization,

coordination, motor skills and awareness. These results support the premise that

patients with Autism can be treated safely and effectively with autologous stem

cell therapy.

" My son's behavior has improved; playing for an hour at a time, running,

climbing, and exploring the playground as a normal, healthy child would, "

commented the mother of a 6 year-old boy who was treated at the XCell-Center in

May 2009.

" My son's behavior has improved... "

Better behavior was reported by every patient who experienced improvements

following treatment.

In a letter written February 2009, " A letter to President Obama " , Judy DiCorcia,

the mother of 10 year-old , who was treated at the XCell-Center in

January, described the strides her daughter made following stem cell therapy and

expressed her desire to see similar procedures available in the United States.

" Both procedures were quick and not invasive at all. In the past 6 weeks we have

seen significant improvements in our daughter's behaviors, focus, hyperactivity,

and insomnia, " wrote Mrs. DiCorcia. In June 2009, she stated, " is doing

well. I would have to say that she 'plateaued' at about the 12-week mark. Her

situation is stable and fortunately all positive effects have persisted. I wish

the doctor could fly to the US and perform the therapy here! "

" Although these are only preliminary results based on a small number of

patients, we find them extremely encouraging. We intend to release comprehensive

results and statistics following a planned US clinical trial in 2010 or 2011. In

the mean time, we will continue to treat autistic children privately in

Dusseldorf and we expect results similar to those already observed, " said Dr.

Hans de Munter, the XCell-Center's Chief Scientific Officer.

The treatment begins by collecting a small amount bone marrow from the patient's

hip via thin needle mini-puncture. The stem cells are separated from the bone

marrow at the XCell-Center's EU certified cGMP laboratory, where they are

counted and their vitality is confirmed. The last step consists of inserting a

fine spinal needle between the patient's L4 and L5 vertebrae and injecting the

stem cells into the cerebrospinal fluid which flows into the brain.

The cost for Autism treatment is 9,000 Euros.
