Recently, we have treated several patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). One of our patients has had ALS for more than two years, and the disease has rapidly progressed to the point where within the past month it has become quite serious. The patient's breathing and swallowing ability has been adversely affected. He currently cannot take care of himself. Our ALS patients have had varying degrees of improvement after the stem cell therapy, including one who had significant improvement in his swallowing ability. He previously ate his meal one hour before his treatment, but now he eats his meal half an hour before the treatment. We have many cases where the progression of ALS has noticeably been slowed down after the stem cell therapy. We are fully aware of the hope that stem cell therapy brings to our patients and how much they want to return to a normal life. Our continuing commitment is to ensure that we do the best we can to make this happen.
