  • Find out about new research to fix nerve damage in spinal cord injury using stem cells (AST-OPC1). This research is being performed by Asterias Biotherapeutics and has shown promising results in clinical trials.
    This video was produced in collaboration with Americans For Cures and explains how stem cell research, funded by California’s Proposition 71: the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative, is leading to groundbreaking advances in spinal cord injury.
    This video was produced as part of the Americans for Cures Foundation’s Report Back to the Public program. For more information about stem cells, check out the new Americans for Cures website, Facebook, UA-cam, or Twitter accounts.

    That's what I need. I have mixed signals coming from my upper cervix. I had sepsis and they decompressed 2 spots in my thoracic but I'm guessing it traveled up my spine. I'm now in a wheelchair with drop feet and partial numbing of both feet and legs. My right one is much worse than the left.

    before the injecting the stem cells,does the patient need to undergo surgery to cleaning up the fragments of the back bond?

      They do not give you general anaesthsia or surgery. You'll be awake and the whole process takes about 15-20 minutes. They'll give the stem cells in back through spinal cord, called lumbar puncture through local anaesthesia meaning that only the place where the stem cells are injected, only that small area is made senseless, for a while

      Tj mex. 30 grand. A life within a life. You might not die of old age and if its even possible to die it would be 200 years old. I need a new spine and this weighs heavy on my mind all the time. I used to be a gymnast a really good one training for the Olympics type of good and now I can't even have the strength push the gas pedal. My leg just stops working sometimes. Im in pain every second. Im putting mine and others life's in danger every time I drive to my Dr s. I eat my pills a month script in 3 days. But those 3 days im super women and a mean snappy lady with a bunch of pain.

    Is there anything you can do to help us victims who suffer from the side effects of the ETS surgery . We suffer from a lot of side effects including brain fog, depression, fatigue mentally and physically, the unavailability to sweat above the nipple line to cool ourselves off. And many other side effects quality of life. We are needing a way to regenerate or fix our damage sympathetic T nerves. Unfortunately people have killed themselves over the surgery and no one's even aware of how dangerous it is besides the 20 songs of countries that have banned it including Sweden where it was invented. I have started a Facebook group to help us come together and find an answer for us. And so far I have had 70 people join in the past 2 months. If there is anything you can do to help us we would really appreciate it dearly thank you..

      Yes but because we dont know as its only a few years old. Dr s think a life within a life and be 200 if if its even possible for a natural death due to expired cells. All damage cells would be replaced and some Dr s say you would have to pull your own cord type thing. I need a new spine, im thinking im so tired of this pain. I was training for Olympics and now I cant stand longer than an hour. My leg just stops working sometimes. I live graping pills ever hour in pain every second no way to live. I am full of unsuspend potential. It takes me 4 days to sleep 3 hours. If given the chance for this surgery I think I would because God told me to be a Dr. And if 200 imagine probably the best Dr. I flip and flop my decision daily.

      @@respeezy where? I need a new spine. Im in pain every second. Im seriously considering death as an option. My Dr. Thinks I sell my meds because I have a nice car so he cut my oxy and now I only have 20 mg of methadone. I broke my knee in 2009 and I had just started college and I kept walking on it. It's never stopped hurting constantly rubbing where the pain is, it blisters calloused. I withdrawal every month I eat all my medication and 14 days not 30. Withdrawal every month. This is no life. Angry sad and disappointed. Sometimes life is so unfair. I hate my Dr. And I have to drive an hour to get to him and the next Dr. Is 2 hours away. Thing is after driving 1 hour and walking in the office I am not strong enough to push the pedal to drive back. I cant drive without pain meds. I have to boil rocks and burn the f out my skin so the sciatic nerve can relax. Sometime it hurts so bad and I keep it there burning and then I pass out. I sleep a few hour every 4 days with out meds. My Dr looks at me like im stupid addicted and lying. I hate him.

Im so angry. Its a struggle every month to go an hour north drive and now I have no choice but go outside my county cuz he wrote im an addicted to opiates and that I lie. No I dont I actually tell him too much of the truth. But he's trying to get back at me because I recorded him putting used masks back in the box i sent it to insurance so that they could see im no liar. So now hes like trying to use his power because he said he could of loosed his license.
