Re: Stem Cell Press Release

November 5, 2010

Has anyone on this board done stem cell therapy and had success?

>

> November 4, 2010; It was announced today that stem cell therapy is now

available in the Dominican Republic. Known as the " Stem Cell Project " , Dr.

Gene with assistance from Hartsoe have been working on making

stem cell therapy affordable for children and adults with various forms of brain

injury,especially autism. Different methods have been studied and Adipose Stem

Cell Therapy was chosen as the primary method to be used. However, one of the

problems with some of the children with CP, and other more serious forms of

brain injury is they do not have the extra fat tissue to extract the stem cells.

So, in addition, it was announced today that bone marrow stem cell will also be

available in the Dominican Republic. The costs of both types of stem cell

therapy is reported to be less than $6,000 which is over 70% less than most

parts of the world. There is a special group you can join to get more

information. You can join StemCellDR for more information. The

Dominican Republic may become the Stem Cell capital for brain injury. The " Stem

Cell Project " is a major breakthrough.

Hi ,

The other moderators left your message in pending while approving others and I

do understand why. It's a bit odd that you are sharing a press release about a

new stem cell project in the Dominican Republic with so little information. I'm

sure your intentions are good, but perhaps in your excitement you forgot to

include some of the important details to your press release...who the doctor is,

what type of " dr " (MD? PhD? or " Dr. " as sometimes in the DAN " Dr " sense where

one can be called a doctor but they are a social worker or therapist? Kind of

like a doll or computer " Dr. " ) and how long has he been in practice..in

general...Dr. 's bio -the website for the new clinic- you know stuff like

that. All you provide is an email to a group (which is not BTW the link

to the actual group either)...Also -you don't mention who you are either -I just

happen to know due to the archives that you are the director for an HBOT center.

In checking Google while I found nothing on what you wrote here other than press

releases from you, which I'm not saying that makes it wrong -but just again not

clear...I did find the following from another autism site but in the following

you were looking to see how stem cell and HBOT can work together for autism?:

" We owe a big debt of gratitude to Dr. Gene of the Dominican Republic.

We treated Dr. 's daughter, , for autism here at Miracle Mountain

and we got wonderful results. Hopefully, Gene or his wife will tell you

about their results. Dr. called me the other day from the D.Republic

very excited because his beautiful daughter, , was singing away in the

background and Gene wanted me to hear her sing because before HBOT, she was

non-verbal. An exciting moment.

In the recent months Dr. has been working and studying stem cell and

consulting with many experts in the field. We have studied the relationship of

stem cell and hbot and their importance to each other. "

The part about Dr. 's daughter singing in the background is awesome -but

when you say that Dr. (who I still don't know who that is) has been " in

the recent months " working and studying stem cell'...are you saying he's only

just first learning about stem cell recently? I mean I could (wouldn't but

could) get eye surgery from a student eye doctor...but... one who has only been

studying it for a few months? (eek)

I'm not saying what is going on isn't good -but the way you wrote the press

release is lacking waaay too many details for me -and probably others here. We

have a highly investigative and typically more educated parent in this group,

many of them I learned from NV are doctors and research scientists themselves,

and please just provide more details so parents can make an educated decision.

OK so you didn't provide details -I'm typically good at filling in the blanks

myself.

I searched for this center and couldn't find it on Google...and putting in Dr.

's name with it I got zero results. I of course also searched for Dr.

and still don't know who he is. I again know you are the director of an

HBOT center in the US.

And just on a last note as you may not read all the messages here -on the

thought of something that is affordable for parents of autistic (and other

conditions) children...not sure if you know about NV but we are almost across

the board seeing dramatic results pretty quick with adding some " chocolate milk "

to the diet http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html it's a whole food product

formulated and endorsed by Dr. Deepak Chopra of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing

and team http://pursuitofresearch.org/advisors.html -which is 40 to 160 a month.

As it's a food and just healthy no matter what it's approved by the child or

adult's medical doctors, and comes with a money back guarantee -so the worst

thing that would happen to try it would be you got your money back! Which by

the way again is rare as it is working for just about all that have tried it.

So back to your press release -please fill in some of the blanks. Thanks! And

thanks for trying to make these type of things affordable to those that can't

afford them. (but BTW....you may want to know in this group most parents think

the 40 to 160 a month for NV even though it's working and even with a money back

guarantee if it doesn't is " expensive " so not sure how $6000 plus the flight to

the Dominican Republic and accommodations for 2 is going to go over here!)

Hi ,

I totally understand your concerns and will try to address them. As you know,

stem cell has advanced so much over the past 2 years. Duke and several other

universities are now doing stem cell successfully. Unfortunately, the costs are

astronomical and, like hbot, are not affordable to the average parent. 10 years

ago we started Miracle Mountain for that same reason. Judy and I have never

gotten a paycheck. We have a grandson with CP which is what developed my

interest in therapies for children. We have since done over 22,000 hbot

treatments, many of them free, and many to parents on this group.

My press release announcement was short and undetailed because I simply wanted

to get the point across and felt parents who are interested could join the group

and ask questions.

Dr. Gene is a homeopathic MD as well as a missionary. His daughter

has severe autism and we met a couple years ago when he brought to

MM. That is when our discussions on stem cell began and I disussed the problem

of expense and lack of availability. At that time stem cell was $30,000 in

Costa Rica.

Dr. took on the task of making stem cell available in the Domincan

Republic with the intentions of opening a clinic. However, it became apparent

that it was a major task. We discussed forming a cooperative and using

resources already available. Since then Dr. has done 2 years of

research and arranged with already established MD's and professionals to make

stem cell, the atipose type using fatty tissue from the patient, available

without the expense of building a clinic, etc. Dr. does not do the

procedure but has watched and studied the procedures extensively so that he

could be certain he was selecting the right medical people and locations to do

it safely and successfully. The prices of $4800 for the adipose stem cell even

includes the hotel at a resort in the Dominican Republic. Dr. is a

parent and is dedicated to finding ways to improve his 18 year old daughter and

other children with similar problems. He has 8 children and a wonderful wife,

, who is from Minnisota. Professionals will be doing the procedure, and

they are trained and knowledgable in what they do.

We started the " Stem Cell Project " to make stem cell available to as many as

possible.

Judy and I have retired from Miracle Mountain. We no longer do hbot but we have

seen amazing results. All indications are that stem cell provides much hope for

children with all types of medical problems. I am diabetic and Judy has

problems and we are both going to the DR for stem cell. Most results so far

are anectdotal when it comes to autism, but we also know that most children are

showing some improvement. And we know that it is the safest of all the stem

cell therapies using only stem cells from the patient.

I hope this clears up some of the cloudiness. To be honest, a parent should

investigate it thoroughly and make their own decisions before doing any type of

procedure.

My apologies for not being more clear and thank you for doing the wonderful work

you are doing. If you have any more questions, email me directly because I get

hundreds of emails and often miss the ones in digest form from the groups.
