Cellulogix Responds…

April 30, 2010

We have received several inquiries since the CBS program 60 minutes, about stem cell treatment, which aired on Sunday April 25, 2010. The program did not involve our organization or anyone associated with our company. However, as an active participant in providing access to stem cell treatment we feel that it is necessary that we state our position in this matter.

The most common inquiry that we’ve received had to do with a statement that was made on the CBS broadcast. The statement made the assertion that “today we cannot cure any disease or condition using stem cells”. Then the question becomes; “What have we cured since Polio?” If the statement’s assertion meant to imply that ““today we cannot treat any disease or condition using stem cells”. Then, simply put, that is an inaccurate statement.

We are not speaking on behalf of the industry. We certainly aren’t able to defend the actions of many individuals that are operating in this industry. Like every industry, we certainly have our share of individuals with questionable character who make unbelievable claims and have suspicious practices. However, to showcase the illegal and unethical practices of these individuals, as proof, that stem cells do not have any therapeutic value is just irresponsible.

For over fifty years, stem cells have been used to treat Leukemia. Today, many blood disorders are treated by stem cells. One of the most prominent and internationally known medical centers in the world that is located in Los Angeles is now treating patients who suffer from heart diseases using stem cells. For legal reasons we cannot mention the name of the facility but the hospital is synonymous for attending to most entertainers and affluent individuals. In the field of orthopedic medicine, FDA approved procedures, using stem cells, are employed to treat patients. In the Unites States, advances are made, everyday, in using stem cells to treat a variety of medical conditions. In many Western European countries similar advances are being made.

On April 29, 2010, Dr. Sanjay Gupta on CNN reported on the use of Stem cells, by Emory University, to treat ALS. This is a phase one trial but similar trials can be found on almost every disease and condition, ranging from neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, to anti aging. One might say but that is a controlled trial. True, but the efficacy and the potential therapeutic value of stem cells are undeniable. Therefore to a patient who only has a few months to live it is worth it, to try. Whether the person performing the treatment is qualified or not should not bring the efficacy of stem cell treatment under question.

I’m willing to put this statement next to the statement made on 60 Minutes:

“In the next ten years we’ll have wide spread use of varying types of stem cells to treat many diseases that are considered untreatable today.”

She’s decided on stem cells

DAVID KECK Special to the Daily Press

VICTORVILLE • The question of stem-cell research never crossed the mind of Michelle Kroll.

Even as a decade of moral debate on the subject raged between the spiritual and secular, the 38-year-old Victorville resident never really formed an opinion about it. Not that she didn’t care. She simply hadn’t thought much about using human cells to treat disease and injury.

It didn’t take long after New Year’s Eve 2007 for her to become an expert.

She flipped her quad that day while riding near Lake Havasu with her family. Though only traveling about 20 mph, the impact threw her about 30 feet, she said. She broke her back just behind the upper hips. Just before doctors in Las Vegas took her in for surgery to fuse her cracked spine together with a metal rod, their prognosis was clear and final.

Michelle Kroll would not walk again.

The tears didn’t last long. Kroll won’t let them. She’s better off than a lot of people with spinal cord injuries, she said. She can stand with the help of braces and her arms still work, granting her the joyful pleasure of hugging her children, 3-year-old Trevor, 10-year-old Sarah and her stepdaughter, Taylour, 14.

It’s also given her the opportunity to study about stem cell research. In the two years since the accident she’s learned a lot and now would like to try it.

Kroll has settled on Cellulogix Biosciences, a company in the San Fernando Valley that helps people get treatment. Because stem cell technology is limited in the U.S., Kroll will travel to Zona Rio, a town near Tijuana, for a five-day treatment using stem cells derived from umbilical cords. Her family is trying to raise the $20,000 to make it happen by summer.

Well-wishers and potential donors may reach her at michellekrll@yahoo.com.
