Article Body:
Michelle Brown, 30, mother of two and resident of Lincoln, Illinois who
is diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as
ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease has recently gone to Mexico for stem cell
treatment. According to the ALS Association’s website, ALS is a
progressive neurodegenerative disease which attacks motor neurons
traveling from the brain through the spinal cord. As the motor neurons
are lost, voluntary muscle movement becomes increasingly difficult to
maintain.
At present, there is no proven form of treatment to cure or reverse the
effects of the disease. But, there are some in the field of medicine who
believe stem cell treatment can make a difference.
Brown’s first stem cell therapy Mexico treatment, completed in February,
involved lamb stem cells.
Her and other patients from the U.S. have been seeking Tijuana stem cell
treatment, and seeing very positive results. Brown reported after her
first treatment, that though progress has been slow, and not so
noticeable to others, she herself has felt improved strength in her legs,
being able to roll over in bed all on her own.
The U.S. government does not currently offer funding for stem cell
research, but Brown and others hope to change America’s perspectives on
the controversial topic.
“The misconception about stem cell treatment is that all stem cells are
embryonic, and that’s not true,” Brown said. “There are stem cells in
umbilical cords and other places. I would just ask that people really
research and look into stem cell treatment beyond what they hear.”
