My younger brother was also born with CP, thank you for the information. BTW the man's accent is very distracting.. not in a good way!

My wife and I have not used it, we just recently saw a video on youtube titled "Team Hoyt" Look it up! It is a very great story about a man and his son whom has CP. In the video the son is using some sort of computer to communicate with everyone. It is really amazing. We have been trying to google it, and come up with the name for that type of machine. I'm sure that we will find it sooner or later.

I havent heard of that exact technology, may i ask if you have used it and have you had any success?

My son is in the same condition and i fully agree with your post. Have you heard about the Hoag Machine? It is a machine that is hooked up to cp patients, i think it attaches to their brain, and a computer talks for them all they have to do is think it.

This gives me so much hope for dear sister who sits in a wheelchair all day with cerebral palsy, more specifically dystonia. Any shot she has at a better quality of life, were taking it. For her to even to be able to speak to us and tell us what she needs or even have a conversation would make this all so worth it. Thank you for posting this cellmed.

I have spoken to 2 parents who's children had CP and seizures. Both children are seizure free, one of them after their first tx ant the other after their 4th tx.

Thats a very interesting question. The only problem is that people are starting to think stem cells are gtood for everything and obviously that can not be the case.

Does anyone have any info about epilepsy and stem cells? Was going to contact David Steenblock D.O.

Ok guys, you know that theoretically caffiene may have some effects...well at least on white matter in animal models.. Back et al. Protective effects of caffeine on chronic hypoxia-induced perinatal white matter injury. Ann Neurol. 2006 Dec;60(6):696-705.

Interesting that cellmedicine would discuss such an important topic at a scientific level. I dont know any other clinic that talks about scientific issues just for the sake of teaching the public. They dont self promote at all !
