Cerebral Palsy and Stem Cell Therapy
Tiantan Puhua Neurosurgical Hospital, one of the world's leading treatment centers for Parkinson's disease and strokes, recently announced a breakthrough in the treatment of Cerebral Palsy (CP) by introducing neural stem cells through a non-evasive procedure to 19-year-old Gabor Bocskai from Hungary. The treatment works by introducing stem cells into the patient's spinal cord fluid (via Lumbar Puncture) which are then circulated directly to the brain. The success of this procedure makes Mr. Bocskai the first teenage European CP patient to see rapid improvement through stem cell therapy. Unedited videos taken before and after Mr. Bocskai's injections demonstrate the profound improvement in this 19-year olds battle to walk, write, focus his eyes, concentrate, and overcome the many other detrimental effects resulting from the CP he acquired at birth. After the eight-week stem cell therapy program, Mr. Bocskai's experinced noticeable physical improvements including improved vision, increased eye focus and better concentration on one subject. He also reported more legible writing, enhanced muscle tone, the ability to sit up unsupported, improved speech and a new capability to walk and swim in an unassisted manner. In fact, proir to the treatment, Mr. Bocskai was not able to walk independently, using a wheelchair for transportation. Within four months of the initial treatment, he stated that he was able to walk with the help of a walker and no other support, with increased maneuverability in his legs and torso. This is a very promising treatment and one of many on the verge of being offered to the public. |
