Paul, I am a friend of Hans and a benefactor to the
institute. the 60 minutes presentation was, as usual, unrevealing.
At least Hans was able to indicate from where stem cells are acquired (no dead
babies, in fact the nucleus from the fertility clinic egg isn't even
permeated; no DNA is accessed!) Human trials have begun this year and
huge strides are occurring in other countries. I firmly believe in
the progress at the reeve-irvine which, by the way, is moving forward on
the fast track with a preventive treatment for brand new injuries
like yours. Our bodies destroy the intact myelin when the cord is
traumatized. This treatment would halt the destructive effects of our
bodies defense system! Our cords are not severed, they are simply
bruised and demyelineated. I dont live and wait for the procedure
for remyelineation of my cord such that I will ever be as good as new,
but I am VERY OPEN and optimistic that it may be possible to restore
control of bowel, bladder and sex. There are so many mobility aids!
Be positive and optimistic
best,
Brien

This is the tip of the

this success applied to humans in our lifetime.
Be well and live each day to its
fullest.

A great
