Had a call from Medra florida on thursday following my email enquiry , i explained my interpretation of how fetal stem were harvested ie from leftover IVF and asked for confirmation . The consultant was clear that that was not the case and that they use 8 to 12 week old aborted babies which they source from Georgia Russia , harvesting the cells from the brain heart and other organs . She elaborated further that the women received no financial consideration . Felt like i was in a science fiction movie . Eeeeeeish even if you were not a christian this would be contentious .

Thk u Barbara . The only exhaustive treatment documented for Charcot Marie tooth that I could find was the treatment of Frank Potts from Holland by stemcells china , his treatment protocol took about a month and despite their advertisement and positive u tube movie made of his stay there , he was unsure if the improvements he experienced were from the physio or stem cells . (Following a telephonic chat with him )
Resultant from this i have been expecting an approx 1 month stay somewhere so have started contacting the clinics closest to africa .Two in israel , Seychelles and two in Germany( xcell )and also Stemcells china ( Somehow i got the wrong impression Medra was in Germany) . I figured i would start with due dilligence and find one of the 6 i was comfortable with . Subsequent to that i have read all the negative reports on Xcell and now Medra , suffice to say they they are the only two thus far who have responded to mail enquiries .
Seems i must cast my net wider , but not being able to find any positive reports by any CMT stem cell receipient its but guesswork at best .

Hi Barbara pls forgive the lateness of my reply we are holidaying in Cape Town for the school holidays and i only just checked my mail . I suppose i have inferred correctly/incorrectly that it was necc by following Frank Potts progress after treatment in China , this is a cut and paste from stemcells china website .
" Frank received 5 umbilical cord blood stem cell injections (2 intravenously, 3 through lumbar puncture). He also received physical therapy, occupational therapy, electric wave therapy, and acupuncture.
Condition After Treatment . After a month of treatment, Frank felt that he was beginning to feel improvements. "
Warm regards

I called him 3 or 4 months after the treatment in Holland he's a friendly guy , speaks well , he sounded unsure if he had got any result from the treatment , he felt perhaps the physio had been more effective . In the same vein he was considering a second round , i was unsure why , i deduced that perhaps he had simply enjoyed himself in china lol . but perhaps there was something lost in translation but i don't think so . lol .
Further If you listen to the u tube account by stemcells china its misleading , the words used are ambiguous they don't ever reportedly confirm that he had positive results .
