DO STEM CELL TREATMENTS WORK?


Ask most US doctors if repair stem cell treatments work and they will tell you
"NO!"  You may also get condescending retorts, misinformation and derisive
abuse.  But if you press them on the question, eventually they will give you the
reason why they believe repair stem cells don't work.  The top answer WHY STEM
CELLS DON'T WORK is… (Survey Says!):

There have been no clinical trials to date that prove they do work.

When all is said and done, in the end, there is nothing that will convince a
western doctor of the effectiveness of stem cell treatments besides clinical
trials.  So have there been any stem cell clinical trials? Is all of the
evidence supporting the benefits of stem cell treatments anecdotal as virtually
every western doctor says? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!  Have there been clinical trials?
The answer is a resounding "YES!"



According to the National Institutes of Health, there were and are ~2600 stem
cell clinical trials around the world - http://www.clinicaltrails.gov/

·         Of those ~2600 trials, there are only nine mentions of embryonic stem
cells.
·         Of those 9, there are no actual embryonic clinical trials.
·         Of those ~2600, there are ~2591 mentions of adult stem cells.
·         Of those ~2591, about half of them (~1300) are actual adult stem cell
clinical trials.
HEART DISEASE CLINICAL TRIALS

via
http://donmargolis.com/Home/Blog/April-2009/A-Brief-History-of-Stem-Cells.aspx
2002 - clinical trial led by Dr. Hans Dohmann plus six colleagues in Brazil took
21 transplant candidates and gave 14 of them bone marrow cells. The results were
so spectacular that the American Heart Association accepted the paper and it was
presented in 2003. Five of the seven in the control group opted in to make a
total of 19 stem cell transplants. The mortality rate for transplant candidates
is about 35% per year. At that rate there would be, of those 19, only 2.2
patients still alive without a transplant after five years. There were, in fact,
12 alive as of Dec. 31, 2007; more than five years down the road.
In 2002, if you did not want or could not get a heart transplant (as is true of
90%+ of dying heart patients in North America) then you had to make a choice
between stem cell treatment or standard Western Cardiology methodology.
1.      Western Cardiology methodology in 2002 kept 12% of
transplant-waiting-patients alive for five years.
2.      Adult/repair Stem cell treatments in 2002 kept 63% of
transplant-waiting-patients alive for five years.  More than 5 times more heart
transplant candidates lived for 5 years with stem cell treatments than the
typical heart transplant recipient!  Btw, stem cell science has made huge
advancements in treating heart disease over the past seven years.
2003 - Dr. Andreas Zeiher of the Goethe Institute in Frankfurt began much larger
trials. As of 2007, he has overseen more ASC implants into hearts than anyone,
both in and out of clinical trials and he was the first to prove that timely
implant of RSC in new heart attack victims improves future mortality and
morbidity -
http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/search?journalcode=circulationaha&fulltext=zeihe\
\
r
2004 - Dr. Amit Patel of Pittsburgh completed two of the most successful trials
ever.  In Uruguay, he proved, on a group of ischemic heart failure patients,
that a bypass plus cells was infinitely better than a bypass only. That same
year, TheraVitae, in Israel, developed a new, powerful blood-derived stem cell
and dared to treat the sickest patients no clinical trial (except Brazil) would
consider.
2004 - One of the Brazilians, Dr. Perin, came to Texas, used the Brazil results
to get the first ASC heart clinical trial approved by the FDA. Over a dozen such
approvals were granted in the next 12-18 months.
Clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic in Florida have seen successes in reversing
and curing pulmonary hypertension using adult stem cells from patients' own
blood.

DIABETES CLINICAL TRIALS

FIRST USE OF CORD BLOOD TO ALTER COURSE OF TYPE 1 DIABETES, June 25, 2007 –
(I'll bet nobody heard of this one!)…transfusion of stored, autologous (i.e. the
person's own), umbilical cord blood into a group of children newly diagnosed
with type 1 diabetes appears to have reduced their disease severity, possibly
re-setting the immune system and slowing the destruction of their
insulin-producing cells, according to a report presented today at the American
Diabetes Association's 67th Annual Scientific Sessions.

Why no diabetes clinical trial s in the US when mice were cured of diabetes type
1 in the 1990's?  -  Weissman, a professor of pathology and developmental
biology at Stanford University, states: "Stem cells are rare, self-renewing, and
can regenerate body tissues." He repeatedly expressed frustration that while
many of his discoveries seemed to hold remarkable potential for life-saving
treatments, commercial or regulatory hurdles have prevented his scientific
research from benefiting human beings.  One example is, his mid-'90s research on
type I diabetes, in which he demonstrated the ability to fully cure type I
diabetes in mice using stem cells.  Even though the experiments avoided
political controversy by using adult/repair stem cells, which do not come from
embryos, Weissman ran into a road block when pharmaceutical companies refused to
sponsor clinical trials. The therapy went nowhere. "The pharmaceutical companies
had put profit over principle, preferring to keep diabetes sufferers dependent
on costly insulin than to cure them once and for all." -

Several months after becoming the first patient in the United States to undergo
a revolutionary new stroke treatment, Roland "Bud" Henrich continues to improve.
Doctors intravenously injected Henrich, 61, with stem cells taken from his own
bone marrow…"The stem cells, we believe, may help repair the damage to his brain
caused by the stroke," said Sean Savitz, M.D., assistant professor of neurology
at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston and the study's lead
investigator. "Animal studies have shown that when you administer stem cells
after stroke, the cells enhance the healing. We know that stem cells have some
kind of guidance system and migrate to the area of injury. They're not making
new brain cells but they may be enhancing the repair processes and reducing
inflammatory damage."

their own stem cells "reset" the malfunctioning immune system of patients with
early-stage multiple sclerosis and, for the first time, reversed their
disability, according to researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago.
Three years after being treated, on average, 17 of the 21 patients had improved
on tests, suffering fewer problems with their balance or vision, 16 had
experienced no relapse, and none had deteriorated.  This marks the first
"reversal" of neurologic loss caused by this disease, says Richard Burt of
Northwestern University in Chicago.

What is clear is that the overwhelming majority of Repair Stem Cell vs Disease
clinical trials have been successful.
·         The majority of patients treated with stem cells get better.
Not all, but the majority.
·         The majority of patients treated with stem cells get better.
Not cured, but better.

No western doctor in the world can come to matching the statistical success of
stem cell treatments with pill-based "cures" for diseases that they define as
"untreatable" and "incurable."

Last year I had a stem cell treatment to hopefully improve my SCI.  Since the
treatment, my arms "burn"; much like a severe sunburn.  I have tried using OTC
products like Solarcaine; but they are not strong enough.

What medicine should I discuss with my local doctor which might help. The local
doctors here really don't have an understanding of the situation.

AFP/File – A rat walks through a pipe. Paralysed rats whose spinal cords had
been severed from their brains were …
by Marlowe Hood – Sun Sep 20, 3:20 pm ET
PARIS (AFP) – Paralysed rats whose spinal cords had been severed from their
brains were made to run again using a technique that scientists say can work for
people, according to a study released Sunday.
Consistent electrical stimulation and drugs enabled the rats to walk on their
hind legs on a treadmill -- bearing the full weight of the body -- within a week
of being paralysed.
With the addition of physical therapy, the rodents were able after several weeks
to walk and run without stumbling for up to 30 minutes, reported the study,
published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
Remarkably, the animals could adjust their movements in response to stimuli
despite the lack of signals to and from the brain: when the treadmill was
reversed, for example, the rats walked backwards.
"This means that the spinal network is almost capable of cognitive processing,"
explained Gregoire Courtine, a professor at Zurich University.
"It can understand that the external world is changing, and interpret this
information to modify the way it activates muscle," he told AFP by phone.
Earlier studies had shown that nerve networks in the spinal cord can produce
limited motion in the muscles independent of the brain or sensory organs.
But this is the first time that researchers have been able to restore normal or
nearly normal functions.
"We can optimise the use of the circuitry in the spinal cord to the point where
the animals can sustain full weight-bearing locomotion," said Courtine.
"In some cases they actually walked with more consistent locomotive patterns
than non-injured animals."
The next step is to develop devices that can be implanted inside the body.
"We are now designing neuro-prostheses, arrays of electrodes that fit like a
second skin between the vertebrae and the spinal cord," Courtine explained.
A strip measuring three centimetres (1.2 inches) long and one hundredth of a
centimetre thick, the device is described as "minimally invasive" because it
does not penetrate into the spinal cord.
Courtine and colleagues are currently testing the neuro-prostheses on rats, and
expect to have an interface for humans within four years.
The new technique is designed to help patients with incomplete but severe
injuries, such as those who cannot walk independently.
"For these people, it is highly likely that this approach will improve their
function," he said.
The mix of electrical stimulation and physical therapy may be enough to restore
significant mobility in many patients, but the addition of drugs "would be
extremely beneficial," he added.
In the rat experiments, the researchers injected so-called serotonergic
agonists, a compound that mimics the effect of the neurotransmitter serotonin
and activates receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system.
There are approximately a quarter of a million persons with serious spinal cord
injuries in the United States, according to the Foundation for Spinal Cord
Injury, Prevention, Care and Cure. Other sources estimate the total worldwide at
2.5 million.
Nearly half of all spinal cord injuries are caused by automobile accidents, and
more than half occur among young people between 16 and 30 years old.

SCI C5/C6

1.  Since having 7 treatments a year ago, I have had several serious "pressure
type" sores develop on my legs and feet.  They are not due to "pressure points".
I did not have any such problems in the 7 years prior to treatment. Has anyone
else had a comparable experience ?

2.  Again, since having 7 treatments a year ago, I have been diagnosed with
Crohns Disease.  Have fought loose bowel problems since treatments. Finally had
a clostemy bag installed this week.  Related to treatments ??

Since leaving Beike i have pondered what to do with this group.
There is no one within the company who is wanting to keep a group of
this nature up and running.  I have however been reluctant to just
shut it down but with the posting of a couple of recent questions by
memebers who did not know I was no longer with beike I can see that
leaving it open will lead to misunderstanding about my current role
in the stem cell world.  To avoid that I have been feeling that it
would be best to close the group.  This group only has about 340
members which makes it one of my smaller groups and at this point
there are not many posts being made.  This leads me to think that
closing it will have little impact provided the members have another
option to recieve basic stem cell information.
I do have another group that you can join if you wish to stay in
touch with me and with the other memebrs of this group.  Stem cell
Safety is a yahoo group I started two and a half years ago.  It
currently has about 420 members thus would be able to absorb members
from this group easily.
I know that some of you here are already members of stem cell safety
but for those of you who are not I would like to extend an invitation
to you to join.
The link to the home page is;
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/stemcellsafety/

Please request membership to stem cell safety and stay in touch with
me on that board.  It does have a broader base of information as it
is not limited to information just about Beike and China.  For some
of you it may end up being a better fit.  See you there.
I will give it some time before I formally close this group to allow
everyone to download this message and make the change.
Thank you,
Kirshner

I resigned from Beike in Nov of 2008 to focus on my family and
motherhood but I still fully support the work being done at Beike.
To speak with a rep from Beike please contact Dr Zhang Yun, her
direct email is dr.zhang@... on this email.  She is with
Beike's medical department and is a full time employee of Beike not a
commissioned agent.  She is based in the company's head office
located in Shenzhen, China.  Her ability to read, write and speak
English is excellent and therefore you should have no difficulties
communicating with her.
Please let her know if you have any specific questions.  Not only
will she be able to answer your questions she can also provide you
with pricing information and assist you in setting up your treatment
should you wish to do so.  I believe you will be in good hands with
both Dr. Zhang and with Beike Bio-tech.



Kind Regards,



Kirshner

I no longer work for Beike thus I can not speak as a repersentative
of Beike.  I can thus only speak about my own experiences.
Regarding long term follow up I can tell you that I myself have tried
to carry out long term follow up on those who have recieved treatment
to follow thier progress and it is extremly difficult to get people
to respond to emails asking for detailed information and just about
impossible to get folks to go in and have follow up testing done.
You might think it would "take a little work" but that is far from
the truth as in reality it takes a ton of time and effort to collect
follow up data.

How Stem Cells May Speed New Cures

With the first-ever human test of a medical treatment based on
embryonic stem cells gaining federal approval, researchers are
optimistic that President Obama will soon lift a controversial Bush
administration ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research
and speed work to develop treatments for diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. The newly approved human trial
involves an attempt to repair severed spinal cords in paraplegics. All
stem cells can replicate over and over, thanks to an enzyme that slows
their aging. This enzyme, telomerase, is what makes cancer cells
proliferate, too. Stem cells can also make new cells programmed to do
specific jobs. Bone marrow stem cells, for example, make red blood
cells, which carry oxygen through the body. In the past decade,
researchers have discovered different forms of stem cells, all of
which hold promise as tools for developing new treatments for some
chronic diseases. U.S. News's Megan Johnson lists 3 types of stem
cells (and their pluses and minuses in medical applications), and
Nancy Shute offers 3 ways that stem cells may speed new cures.
