Re: [StemCells] Re: when cord blood does no good - autism

Dear all,
I just want to share the article about stem cell in autism. Theoritically,
it can be accepted but practically I don't know how the effectiveness is.
I have once read the article from google about Beike Biotechnology in
China. It seems they have done therapy for autism regularly. Maybe someone
in China know about the truth of this?

Regards,
Virgi

[StemCells] Re: when cord blood does no good - autism

The reason Hyperbarics are doing wonders although too slow... is because
this children have oxigen starved brains, there is a girl in Florida that
has almost fully recovered on several IVs of CD34s alone (5 million count
in each)...
All the other children that have been treated so far after her have not
been able to duplicate this, but then they also had Mesenchymals added to
their protocol... and lowering the count of CD34s, (1.5 million CD34s + 3
million Mesenchymals) They have all gone through extreme Detox (that
demyelinazes even more) and the gains they have shown so far are no
greater that the ones obtained with Biomedical intervention
(supplements)... I have 2 ASD boys and I want to try the high dose of
CD34s without the Mesenchymals, but the fact is since in U.S Stem cell is
not permitted unless it is done through oncology and using chemo...All the
people that stored their cord blood will not be able to use it until this
changes... So we are left with no choice but to look for treatment
elsewhere and being attracted by companies out of the country... and at
the risk of falling in to that hands of Quacks and Greedy people who have
hardly ethics and charge an arm and a leg... for as long as it
is profitable!!! That is just my 2 cents... Love, Gabby. :0)
P.S. But I am not giving up!!!

[StemCells] adverse effects

My 2-year-old son has severe cerebral palsy and we are considering stem
cell therapy in China. Are there any adverse effects related to this
treatment? Is there any correlation between stem cell injections and
tumor growth?

Thanks,

Kristin

GPCRS: ADRENERGIC RECEPTOR GETS BENT OUT OF SHAPE BY MORPHINE

Morphine inhibits adrenergic receptor signaling by inducing a
trans-conformational switch in the alpha2A-adrenergic receptor
(alpha2A-AR) when in a complex with the morphine receptor, MOR.

PDE6B
http://ealerts.nature.com/cgi-bin24/DM/y/ejTC0Xztnp0H2W0Bo1A0EG

Phosphodiesterase 6B (PDE6B) is a catalytic subunit of the
rod-specific cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6) enzyme.
PDE6 is highly selective for cyclic GMP over cyclic AMP. PDE6 serves
as an effector enzyme in the rod phototransduction cascade. Mutations
in PDE6B can lead to autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa, a
common hereditary retinal degeneration leading to vision loss caused
by the death of the rod and cone photoreceptors.

TUMOUR IMMUNOTHERAPY: LITTLE PIG, LITTLE PIG, LET ME COME IN
When the endothelin B receptor (ETBR) is highly expressed in the
tumor endothelium it blocks T-cell homing, suggesting that
pharmacologic inhibition of ETBR might cause immunotherapy-induced
T cells to gain access to the tumor.

[StemCells] RE: when cord blood does no good - autism

There aren't credible studies indicating cord blood useful in autism;
this may be why you're having trouble finding someone to try it. (You
will find many off-shore - e.g. companies that can't pass the muster to
work in US even though they recruit here, hoping your pain and
deseparation will separate you from your money - these companies are
most often associated w/the word "scam" and often have contaminination
issues, so it's not even safe to just 'try'.)

Dr. Rossignol of the Blue Ridge Medical Center did clinical trials
using hyperbaric oxygen and found significant improvement in language,
and while one study is not fact, it is hopeful ... (note, you still
want to work with a real researcher than off-shore ... this family
bought their own chamber ...)

oxygen.html

Abstract of Dr. Rossignol's work:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18005455?dopt=Abstract

[StemCells] CORD BLOOD: Finding someone to use own stored ...

Try Dr.Joanne Kurtzberg @ Duke. She did Ms. Schneider's transplant.
http://www.dukehealth.org/physicians/385F24432A328A8285256DFD006A9443

Recommend also doing the following searches ...
"cord blood" "stem cells" "*whatever condition your child has* and
contact the researchers doing that exact work. (Search their name
and and the hospital/university at which the article will state they
work.)

http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov
(don't use " ", separate with commas "stem cells, *condition*")

Also, contact Mr. Stephen Sprague @ New York Blood Center's National
Cord Blood Program (He may be reading this, as he belongs to the
group... ) http://www.nationalcordbloodprogram.org/

And just the Cord Blood Registry. http://www.cordblood.com/

But, yes, the dirty little secret about storing cord blood is it's
hard to find someone to actually do something with it. (As. Mary
Schneider said, "You can get donated blood products from a stranger
anytime for surgery or trauma." "But no one would give my son his own
cord blood!!" )

Good Luck!
