  • (1888PressRelease) May 14, 2009 - An American woman whose stem cell treatment for stroke is being profiled on Returning Hope, an Asian portal for the groundbreaking therapy, has praised stem cells as "the cure of the future".

    Grace Draper underwent autologous stem cell therapy for her stroke. Mrs. Draper suffered a stroke in 1999, and had her stem cell therapy 8 years later, in 2007. The stem cells were harvested from excess fat in her body in one of the more popular procedures in modern stem cell hospitals.

    Mrs. Draper explains her story in this video. "I was in a coma for two weeks - they thought I wouldn't make it. [After I came home] I couldn't sit up straight; I would fall over to my right side all the time... I couldn't walk, I couldn't do anything."

    "I had my stem cell transplant on March 17, 2007. It was very simple and painless. They did liposuction on me, then took the fat cells ... they came back and did it [the stem cell transplant] intravenously. I went home the same day, right after", Mrs. Draper continued.

    She was seen on video, walking around first with, then without the help of a cane. "After 2 weeks I felt a need to move, so I got up and started to walk without a cane, a feat I had been unable to do in the past."

    Regarding her general well being, Mrs. Draper said "I've been feeling much better than normal. I have more energy".

    Brian Dardzinski, CEO of Returning Hope, Returning Hope, a portal that can arrange for this type of treatment at a Thailand Hospital, says that hearing from the patients is the best part of the job. "Stem cell treatments are one of the biggest growth areas in medicine. Every patient that speaks out like Mrs. Draper has could encourage others to undergo a treatment that creates miraculous results for them".

    Stem cell therapy for stroke has been in use for several years now, and scientists are still studying its possibilities. A team working at the University of Nottingham recently used micro-scaffolding and stem cells to fill a hole in the brain left by a stroke, with brand new brain tissue. The entire procedure took only seven days.
