Hi.
I´m glad to tell you that since my father took the procedure in Koln, he has very importan progress in his health.
he began to do some exercise, he doesnt feel rigidity in his arms anymore.
before the treatment, my father never used to go out alone, now he make his thing by himself, and feels more self-sufficient.

I hope that his experience can help you.

HI, my brother is considering traveling to the xcell center in Germany and I am curious if how your husband is now doing and if anyone has any new feedback. Thanks.

search for UFO's at Roswell. Some swear by it, others swear against it, however there seems to be little empirical evidence one way or the other.

Anyone any hard facts to post on this thread, rather than subjective comment ?

(Don't mean this to sound aggressive, just after something concrete).

"he doesn't feel rigidity in his arms anymore" ... that is a big step. Has his balance improved? I am looking into Xcell for my husband, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's. He is currently only 51, but the PD symptoms have aged him dramatically including his balance, coordination and muscle atrophy. We have a 10 year old son who needs his Dad, so I'm hoping the long trip to Germany will be worth it. I am still waiting for a response from the paperwork that I filled in a couple of months ago.

It is over a year now and I am wondering how your husband is progressing after the stem cell treatment? My husband has it too.

My husband and I just came back from the XCell Center on August 31st. Some muscles in his lower bottom area are still sore for some reason. The actual procedures went very smoothly. They took out 20 viles of bone marrow on Tuesday and he had no side effects. Then they injected over 6 billion cells on Thursday. The Thursday procedure was less painful than the Tuesday procedure because they used a larger needle on Tuesday to take out the bone marrow. After the initial puncture though, he did not feel anything and he was relaxed.

On Thursday he had to rest at the hospital for 3 hours after the procedure. He had a slight headache the next morning but it went away later in the day. The next 3 days he took it easy and we walked around when he felt like it. On Monday we flew back to the USA.

My husbands procedures have had very little side effects on my husband, but the teenager in the bed next to him had an extremely bad headache for the 3 hours we were waiting and he still had it when we were leaving. The young boy was in such pain that he could hardly handle it. He was throwing up when we left.

Now for the all important question ... did it do anything for my husband? There are no immediate results that I can see. The soreness in his bottom is keeping him from bending very much. If he bends too far, he gets a sharp pain. It has only been 4 days since the procedure, it will probably take time before we see results. We are trying to start a rehab program to re-build and re-train his muscles. He is very thin, and has had a lot of muscle atrophy because of Parkinson's.
