RNL Bio Co., Ltd, a leading biopharmaceutical company specializing in adult stem cell therapeutics has announced that a 46-year-old female, Kang Sook Park’s multiple sclerosis improved tremendously after receiving stem cell treatment. Park was suffering from multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord).
Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the nerves of the central nervous system degenerate. Multiple sclerosis can cause problems with muscle control and strength, vision, balance, feeling, and thinking. Multiple sclerosis is caused by damage to the myelin sheath, the protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. When the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve impulses slow down or stop responding. From the many symptoms of multiple sclerosis, numbness or abnormal sensation in any area is predominant.
For the past 20 years, Park suffered from multiple sclerosis. For stem cell injection, she was admitted into Choyang Hospital of Regenerative Medicine in Yanji, China for three weeks. She received stem cells intravenously as well as intrathecally. The injections were given in five intervals, a total of 1.2 billion cells.
Prior to stem cell treatment, Park suffered from Optic Neuritis, a common symptom of multiple sclerosis. Some of the symptoms of Optic Neuritis include double vision, vision loss, and uncontrollable rapid eye movements. She was not able to recognize any writing due to her vision loss. After six months of receiving stem cell therapy, Park experienced phenomenal changes. Her vision improved drastically, she was able to read. Furthermore, it also became possible for her to move her legs using her own muscular strength.
“My legs felt like hollow logs. They were so numb and stiff. However, after receiving stem cell treatment, I can actually feel my legs. I can also tell the difference in cold and warm temperatures. Stem cell therapy brought incredible changes to my physical condition,” stated Kang Sook Park.
Park also added, “Receiving stem cell turned my life around. I feel like I am reborn. The fact that I am in this condition brings me new joy. I love the fact that I no longer need anyone’s help to get from place to place. I would like to share my experience to others who may have this rare disease. I want to let others know that they can find hope through stem cell treatment, just the way I did.”
Dr. Chang Won Kim reported Park’s EMG findings before and after the stem cell treatment. “Patients who have an uncommon disease such as multiple sclerosis rarely show improvement or are completely cured. EMG results showed that Park’s movement increased both in upper and lower limbs. Reduction in latency suggests that demyelination was also improved. It is extremely difficult for multiple sclerosis patients to use their own strength to even make small movements in the arms or legs. These changes in Park were possible through stem cell therapy.”
