Stem Cell Update from Panama 3 Years Later

I had my first stem cell treatment for Multiple Sclerosis in November 2008. After much research and education, I decided to leave the US and go to Cell Medicine in Costa Rica at the time.

3 years later the clinic has grown and consolidated their lab and facilities to Panama City. The treatment wasn't a cure, but it worked amazingly well for me and gave me a second chance at life.

My MS is progressive and I will continue to turn to stem cells for ongoing treatment of my disease. Hopefully one day very soon with continuing discussions with Gov. Rick Perry and others, we will see stem cell treatments more widely available in the United States.

Holly, I'm glad you had a chance to go to Panama and get another stem cell treatment! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your quick recovery and I hope stem cell therapy will be available here, in US, soon!

Seeing you doing so well gives me hope that my condition (MS) will improve and I look forward towards a future where such results are possible.

Hi Holly. So glad to hear you continue to do well with your stem cell treatments! I think stem cell treatments for anything, not just MS, will probably not be commonplace for another 10-20 years (if not more).
