Cerebral Palsy Benefits from Stem Cell Therapy and Infographic
Cerebral Palsy are two words that parents don't want to hear. It is a set of disorders involving brain and nervous system functions such as movement, hearing, seeing and thinking. It is a disability resulting from injury to the brain before, during or shortly after birth.
For one family, however, they found that stem-cell treatment (disclaimer: client link) has provided a glimmer of hope.
Seven-year-old Ethan Radtke underwent expensive stem-cell treatment in Germany and as a result, has allowed him to recently walk for the first time in his life.
According to INFORUM, Ethan underwent stem-cell therapy in July 2010 at the Xcell-Center in Dusseldorf, Germany that collected stem cells from his bone marrow and injected it into his spinal fluid to help injured cells heal. Funding for the procedure, which topped $20,000, was gathered through donations from the West Fargo community he and his family live in.
