Stem Cell Therapy
While desperately looking for ways to help our sons. We have come across adult stem cells as a means of possibly helping our sons. They take out your own stem cells from the bone marrow in your hip. Then they separate the plasma and blood from the stem cells. They put them into a device which allows the stem cells to multiply. When the stem cells reach a certain number they inject them into your veins. The therapy is being preformed at the Dr. Steenblock Institute in Mission Viejo, CA.

HBO Treatment
The Pittsburgh Hyperbaric Institute specializes in the treatment of a variety of conditions utilizing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). This can provide safe and efficient treatment to improve the functional recovery of traumatic brain injury survivors. With TBI, brain areas that are injured are not receiving enough blood flow as a result of the trauma. Tissue might get enough oxygen to survive but not enough to be functional. Oxygen is essential to heal bodily tissues, whether skin, muscle or bone. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment substantially increases oxygen flow within tissues in order to improve the healing process. This process can regenerate, repair and generate new blood vessels to the injured parts of the brain. Recent research suggests Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT):
- Speeds and enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself
- Can improve spatial learning and memory in those with chronic traumatic brain injuries
