Great News!

Our two-time patient, Bradley Koenning is seeing great results after being treated in Peru.

Bradley has recently regained the ability to move his hand and wave from the wrist. He is also able to move his toes on either foot. This progress is in line with the time table for progress that we expect to see from this new treatment procedure.

19 year old Bradley has a spinal cord injury stemming from a motorcycle accident in 2005. He received his first stem cell treatment through IV in Mexico in 2006 and has recently received stem cells through lumbar puncture in our pioneer program in Lima, Peru.

We at Stem Cell Biotherapy as well as his family and friends are encouraged by this progress and hope to see the same results from many patients in the future.

Peru - Patient Testimonial

Stephanie C.

Age: 25

Town: San Antonio, TX

Diagnosis: Spinal Cord Injury

Date of Treatment: 3/30/08

‘My experience with Stem Cell Biotherapy has been great. I was part of the first group in Lima, Peru which was very interesting, but an adventure for sure. There were a few complications with accessibility, organization, and the language barrier, but nothing too serious. Everyone really wanted to help and make us as comfortable as we could be. The doctors were really compassionate and well educated about the procedure. They really want to help others with Spinal Cord injuries (and all other medical conditions)live healthier and happier lives.  Dr. Feinerman and Dr. Nabavi are very warmhearted and I owe them so much for making this possible.

Since returning back to Pressing On for therapy, I have made voluntary movements in my legs and my nerve connection is much stronger. My spasms are a little more frequent, but I think it is a good thing since the spasms are what help my brain connect with nerves below my injury.  It’s only been a month since my last injection and I am very hopeful and optimistic still about my recovery. It’s only the beginning for me and many others. I would encourage anyone with a Spinal Cord Injury (or a health condition causing a disability) to participate in these trials with Stem Cell Biotherapy.  Would I do it again? Yes. 

Good luck to all of you. Keep the HOPE alive & have faith that all things are possible.  I would be happy to speak with anyone about my experience. Thanks again Stem Cell Biotherapy. You have helped to improve my recovery and quality of life.

With Hope & Love,



Stephanie’
