Spinal Cord InjuryChristopher "Kit" Bond - Spinal Cord Injury Stem Cell Patient
Kit Bond knows the most advanced stem cell therapies available to spinal cord injury patients as both a researcher and a patient. This video was shot near the end of his second round of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplants in Qingdao China. His very first treatment involved stem cell implantation along his spine in Portugal. Adult stem cell therapy does not present a magic bullet cure for any condition today. Spinal cord injury patients do not "rise and walk" following injections of adult stem cells. They must combine transplants with aggressive physical therapy to draw the cells toward needed areas much as white blood cells follow a notification system to injury or infection sites. In this video Kit talks about his decision to come to China and try a treatment not allowed in the US--and the improvements he's seen as a result of the treatment. Safe adult stem cell therapies are available today in China offering real quality of life improvements to patients. If you are interested in treatment options available today please visit StemCellsChina.com and submit an inquiry.

Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH)Dakota Clarke - SOD Stem Cell Patient
Dakota Clarke came to Qingdao to receive adult stem cells to treat her septo-optic dysplasia in early 2009. In this interview shot near the end of their time in China her mother discussed their experience and Cody's condition at the time. The BBC crew following the family produced a segment claiming we called her improvements "nothing short of a miracle". While we are happy for the Clarke family we do not claim miracles and have not done so here. Septo-optic dysplasia leads to many complications--including blindness. While the BBC program focused on her vision, the Clarke family still claims that they've witnessed numerous improvements in her overall health including her vision. We are grateful for the opportunity to present the Clarke family's side of the story here. Stem cell therapy, to this date, cannot provide a "cure" for any condition. The adult stem cell therapies available in China today may provide quality-of-life improvements.
