Stem Cell Treatment

After traveling for microcurrent, Traditional Chinese Medicine, microacupuncture and receiving shots in the eye right here at home, my stem cell implant in Mexico did not seem like such a leap.

On April 18 2007, I crossed the border to get my implant. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa. This disease, in a nutshell, causes one to lose a little vision each year. So, in the beginning when one has normal vision, it is not a big deal. As you have less remaining vision to lose, it becomes a bigger deal. I have spent the past five years in full research and quest for a treatment mode.

Doctors advised me to get a cane and learn to adapt to blindness. I can live with blindness if it has to be that way, however to have peace I have to try.....and try. This way, if I wake up and cannot see my children I can have peace knowing I knocked on every door.

Matthew 7:7-8 - Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. (NIV)

So, I received a stem cell implant derived from placental stem cells at a clinic in Progreso, Mexico on April 18th, 2007. This blog will detail my experiences after receiving the implant.

Initially, I was attracted to the work of Dr. Sapse after learning about his interest in autoimmune issues as they relate to RP. I then found out about the use of the implant for RP. The surgery was performed by Dr. Omar David Gonzalez.

The Sunday following the Wednesday implant, I was able to take communion at the altar of my church. Usually, due to the dim lighting, I must hold on to my husband's arm to get down the aisle. As I approach the altar, I scan it repeatedly, looking for a space to open. Well, I SAW the space as a lady got up!!! Not scanned and FOUND it, rather I SAW it with no effort. Fellow RPers will get this.

Monday I went to see my internist. His nurse brought me a cup of tea. Usually I make a mental note, "hot tea on table to left, at the approximate 9:00". This time, I just SAW it there out of my peripheral vision.

Walking my daughter home from school, I usually scan the fence for the door we walk through. No scanning, just SAW the door.

Tuesday I noticed that the plates I thought were a graphite blue are actually primary blue. The guest room I thought was a lovely sandy color with warm undertones looks like a gigantic peach.

I called Dr. Sapse on Monday, convinced this must be some sort of placebo effect. I mean, how could the cells do their work this quickly? Well, he assured me this has happened before. OH MY GOSH!!!

Is it this simple? All the research funding and the talking.....and the funding.......and more funding. Anyway, that is not the point of this blog. I am going to update it as I notice changes.
