Amazing Stuff

Today was Steve's consultation. All I can say is, WOW! Here is what I learned about stem cells and how they work. When the body is injured in any way, the traumatized area sends out a chemical message to the stem cells in the bone marrow, for repair. These stem cells subsequently travel to the affected area and sense what type of tissue it is, then begin the work of healing. As we age, these stem cells become less potent and/or sometimes the damage is just too great. However, the stem cells in umbilical cord blood are brand new and therefore, very active. It is natural for them to detect what type of tissue to turn into and where to go within the body, as that is how the body is originally formed. Therefore, these cells naturally know what type of tissue to form. These will be injected "intrathecally" into Steve's spinal column, where the MS has damaged the myelin sheath coating, which allows the nerves to conduct properly. By massively infusing them into the spine, and lying on his back for five hours afterward, these cells will travel to the spinal column and repair the damage that has been done.

More later on the stem cells derived from his own fat and how they will work. For Steve's Blog, go to www.skreynolds57.blogspot.com
