Westerners Return from Beijing's World-Class Stem Cell Treatment Hospital
with Clear Improvement, Giving Hope Not Found at Home
BEIJING, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tiantan Puhua Neurosurgical Hospital, the world's leading center for effective treatment of Parkinson's disease using adult retinal stem cells, today here announced that four more international patients returned home from China with a significant reduction in their debilitating Parkinson's disease symptoms. These success stories clearly demonstrate stem cells can effectively be used to treat afflictions like Parkinson's in addition to many other neurological disorders. More details and videos of the four patients' progress can be found at http://www.stemcellschina.com.
While debates over stem cells continue in many countries, Western clinical trials have so far found the use of adult retinal stem cells to be the best chance for Parkinson's sufferers to gain a better quality of life. Chinese neurologists at Tiantan Puhua Hospital are among those worldwide leading the implementation of this cutting-edge science through safe and effective treatment. Following Penny Thomas of Hawaii, who benefited from the hospital's stem cell treatment a year ago, four more patients have now come home to better lives in the United States and Europe after treatment at Tiantan Puhua Hospital in Beijing.
Jane Edwards, a 55-year-old United Kingdom citizen, saw comparatively
dramatic improvement in her debilitating Parkinson's symptoms almost
immediately after a minimally invasive injection that implanted millions of
high-quality adult hRPE (human Retinal Pigment Epithelial) cells. The
procedure utilizes the latest stereotactic technology. This cutting edge
three-dimensional imaging system assists doctors in locating the most
appropriate area of the brain or other nerve center to implant the cells.
