adipose stem cells for peripheral neuropathy
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:31 am
Hello,
I am a new member. My name is Peg & have suffered with chronic neuropathic pelvic pain for 16 years post-op hysterectomy. My first diagnosis was pudendal neuropathy. I even had decompression surgery at alcocks canal in 2004 at Johns Hopkins by Dr. James Campbell. He found no scar tissue, inflammation, injury.....nothing out of the ordinary. It was after meeting a French physician (DR. Possover) in Las Vegas at a convention, that I was informed that my problem was higher up in my pelvis. I've tried medications, surgeries x6, radiofrequency x2, cryosurgery, trigger point injections, neurostimulators x6, & finally ended up with a Medtronics pain pump. So, on September 4,2013 I flew out to Scottsdale, AZ for two treatments of adipose stem cells for peripheral neuropathy study done through California Stem Cell Institute. They have a list of physicians nationwide that are involved in the study. I selected Dr. Todd Malan of Innovative Cosmetics in Scottsdale, AZ. He is a board certified ob/gyn & cosmetic surgeon. On my pre-op day, Dr. Malan spent 2 hours going over my case, explaining the different types of stem cells & their functions in the body, how stem cells could benefit my body by these tiny "Pac Man" stem cells gobbling up scar tissue, & rebuilding blood vessels, nerves, tissue, & Muscle, how the fat cells are obtained a mini-liposuction of the lower abdomen, then the fat cells are spun down in a centrifuge separating out the stem cells & counted by a computer, next the delivery of the stem cells as established by the guidelines of the FDA, & finally the study itself with a 3year follow-up & the importance of journaling. Dr. Malan obtained 60 million stem cells from my lower abdomen. He gave me 15million by IV & injected 45 million into the damaged nerve area of my vaginal cuff. I am totally pleased with Dr. Malan & his kind Christian staff! The clinic is very clean & modern. They truly care & pray for their patients. Dr Malan told me that my adipose stem cells will continue to spread & work to repair my damaged vaginal cuff for the next 4 months. So far, I've seen a decrease in my pelvic pain by 3-4 points. I have tremendous energy. The cost for the two treatments cost $12,000. I called two other clinics outside the u.s. They wanted anywhere between $25-30 thousand for 1 treatment!! I am happy that my data will go to the FDA to help bring stem cell regenerative medicine to the U.S. Dr. Malan wants me to contact him night or day for any concerns/questions. He wants me to think positive cure with my 2 treatments. I will continue to update my progress over the next months. Take care & God Bless.........................Peg
