Optic nerve hypoplasia is a congenital condition in which a child is born with underdeveloped optic nerve. This allows the child to see one or both eyes. Before stem cell therapy, there was no cure or treatment for this condition. The child used to be condemned to a life of blindness. Today, thanks to advances in adult stem cell research and treatment. This treatment is in the form of adult stem cells.
XavierCarballo, a Florida boy was born with optic nerve hypoplasia. Diagnosed at age 2 years, Xavier had declared blind. Xavier mother, Cindy, was a stem cell treatment in China, which helps optic nerve hypoplasia. Cost savings for two years, Cindy and Xavier last trip to China in late 2008.
In China, Xavier received 6 infusions of adult stem cells from umbilical cord blood. Xaviermother could see a difference after the first infusion of Xavier.
Since his return to the U.S., Xavier has improved even more eyes Xavier had a baseline examination before Xavier went to China and then examined Xavier after his return, the ophthalmologist said that before treatment, Xavier, the only detection of hand motion at 1 .. - 2 feet. He said that after treatment with stem cells, Xavier can count fingers at 3.4 meters! The doctor saysthere are clear neurological improvement as well as his vision
Xavier has improved so much that her parents move from a school for children with disabilities attend regular schools.
Xavier is the latest in a long list of people who have "incurable" conditions have been helped by stem cell therapy. We hope to have more in the near future so that more children (and adults) in this life will be able to improve treatment.
