Can Stem Cells Help
Stroke Victims?

by Maree
(Melbourne, AUSTRALIA)

I suffered a stroke 20 years ago when I was 38. 4 years later I heard about stem cells which made it too late for me to participate in any stem cell trials, they were only interested in strokes less than 3 years old. I traveled to the USA to try and muscle in on a trial, that did not work, and last year, I flew to Peru to have stem cell therapy there.
(cost:$US 25000).

My most pressing concerns are the tiredness, memory loss and inability to feel intense pleasure. I never even gave my dud arm a thought. The only benefit I got was a SMALL improvement in my affected arm, not enough to make it move normally again. So, sadly, I think for neurological improvement, they do not help, for physical injuries, wound healing, yes probably.
