Patient Shares Comments Re: His Progress Since Treatment for Ataxia
Dear Cellulogix: I’m Phil D. and I had my transplant the week of May 5th 2009. We have communicated several times in the past but not lately. I had my 13th month post transplant exam with my Neurologist yesterday June 18th and thought Dr.Nabavi and you would be interested in an update on my condition. I was diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia (334.8)-C-SPINOCEREBELLAR DIS NEC) in 1974 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minn. and subsequently by 5 other Neurologist over time with the same findings. Below is a quote from my current Neurologist Dr. Jody Reiser, the Dr. who has seen me through the last 13 months of my post transplant progress.
June 18th 2010. “It was discussed with the patient that there’s been an amazing improvement since his initial presentation 3 weeks after stem cell procedure. He has minimal to no cerebellar findings. He just has some spasticity in his lower extremities but his strength is amazingly improved in his lower extremities. The question is is there ongoing benefit from the stem cells at this point and how long does the benefit continue or does he require further dosing and what benefit with the further dosing have for him.”
Thank you for all your efforts and please tell Dr. Nabavi thank you again and I am thrilled with the results that I have had.
Richard S.
Age: 53
Town: Whitney Point, NY
Diagnosis: Type 2 Diabetes
Date of Treatment: 1/10/08
“On the day of treatment he notices tingling in his legs and his eyes appeared whiter. Since 2001, Richard’s blood sugar has never been under 200 in the morning. On 1/17 his morning blood sugar was 190, on 1/18 his morning blood sugar was 170 and today,1/19, his morning blood sugar was 142.”
“His daytime blood sugar has been around 107 since stem cell therapy; again, he has never recorded such a low reading since he began testing in 2001.”
“He feels much stronger and has much more endurance when exercising. Since 2001 he has been running and lifting weights to help with his diabetes. When we returned home on 1/12 he added 12 pounds to his weights and noticed that it is easier to lift and run.”
“We are very encouraged by his improvements!”

“At first I expected more, and commented that nothing was happening. Friends and family said my voice was clear and powerful immediately following treatment. My bladder is now about 50% controlled when it was previously 0% controlled. I’m at a much higher level of energy, and can use a walker instead of a manual wheelchair. I don’t have to conserve energy in order to have fun. I have energy to cook and my hands are shaking less. It is easier to interact and entertain.”
“During pool therapy, I was relegated to crawling along the wall of the pool. Instead of going twice a week I now go three times a week and I am no longer dependent on the wall. Therapy is now fun and not a chore! I can also float and kick which is something I could not do before.”
“I am a happier person, no longer depressed or foggy, but quick-witted! Life is good!”
“PS: a terrible back pain (unrelated to MS) kept me on Tylenol at all times. Since treatment this pain has vanished!”

3/12/07 – He’s gone from a handsome strong man to an overweight, depressed, crippled man in 10 years. He has tried mny medications and neurologists, diets, vitamins, etc. only to watch his relfection in the mirror become someone he doesn’t even know. His body has become his enemy, a stiff and motionless case for his soul.
10/12/07 – He is feeling pain in his extremities in areas where he had damage. he was numb there before. In all the time Dean has been sick with MS we have never seen improvement, he has only gotten worse. Since the stem cell treatment he is finally seeing some good things.
