0 comments

Due to the adult stem cell research, doctors are now able to increasingly treat diseases that were previously untreatable. Pulmonary hypertension is the latest disease to be added to this growing list.

beginning of this year, Karl Wagner, 46, of Macon, Georgia was considered one of the first person in the world to obtain adult stem cells for treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

Charles was suffering because the diagnosis with primary pulmonary hypertension . He was under medication, but despite the medications he was still with violent chest pain, heart rhythm disturbances, and fatigue. His constant shortness keep him on oxygen all the time. He could not play with his daughters. The doctors at the Mayo Clinic gave Karl about 3 more years to live.

Fortunately, Karl came on a doctor predicted that adult stem cells would be beneficial to pulmonary hypertension. Karl decided to try what he had nothing to lose.

In February, 2008, Karl had a small amount of blood from his arm. The stem cells in the blood were separated and then cultivated and multiplied. A week later, Karl was implanted adult stem cells.

9 months later, Karl has a 180-degree turn for the better. Before the stem cell treatment , Charles the pulmonary artery mean pressure was 41mmHg (severe pulmonary hypertension) Well, pressure will be at 24 mmHg is considered normal.

Karl quality of life has proven to be good. Karl takes his daughters to school every morning and then goes to work all day. It is made almost all my medication and says he feels 10-times better than he previously. He says he feels great.

The doctor treated, Charles said that adult stem new blood vessels, which replaced the damaged blood vessels in the lungs. Since the treatment of Charles, the doctor has treated more patients with pulmonary hypertension, with similar results.

 

The Repair Stem Cell Institute is a public-service company formed to educate, teach, and promote Adult Stem Cell research. The Institute also provides information on how to seek out Adult Stem Cell treatment.

The Repair Stem Cell Institute website has a list of diseases and injuries that are now being treated with adult stem cells. The site also tells the reader where and how to seek out that particular stem cell treatment.

Adult Stem Cells (AKA Repair Stem Cells) can now help more than 100 diseases and conditions. The Repair Stem Cell Institute provides the latest up to date information on these adult stem cell treatments.

Don Margolis, the founder of the Repair Stem Cell Institute also keeps a blog which he updates almost daily. His blog contains the latest successful adult stem cell stories and discoveries of patients being helped through stem cell therapy.
