I don't have an update on Jeannine to begin with. I do not know of anyone in Canada giving stem cell treatments for COPD. In the U.S. it is legal to give straight autologous (your own cells) treatments.
As for Osiris, there is no published data yet as to the success/failure of their lung trials, but believe me, we are all eagerly waiting for good news.
There are no peer reviewed published articles that I am aware of for the treatment of COPD using stem cells. There is no long term data available either as this is early on and not enough time has gone by to evaluate patients who have had treatment. Nassin (a member of this forum) is the first one I had ever heard of and he had his first treatment in 2006. Jeannine and I followed in 2007, so you can see that there is not going to be much information as far as long term results. I can tell you that I had an FEV1 of 37% and was declining at a rate of about 5% per year prior to treatment. My last PFT showed an increase of 2%. This is significant because there has been no decline whatsoever.
Jeannine and I co-founded SeaChange Therapeutics to help support this forum. We pay for Google ads, server fees, upkeep, etc. We also wanted to have a site where unique products that we have tested could be offered at prices that are below most other sites. The oral product you mention is called Cell Advance. It is available as a treatment protocol because we are testing it to see what its efficacy will be beyond a nutritional supplement. To be accepted if you have COPD, a person cannot smoke and must own an oximeter. The product is being tested on most diseases and the consultant that is working with us is well known in the stem cell industry. This protocol will be published and reviewed by an Investigational Review Board.
As for the PowerLung, I think this is a fantastic product, however, a person must keep after it. No hiding it in the closet or using it once a week. Twice a day is what I do. The Airestream is the product that a COPD patient would need. PowerLungs are available on the SeaChange site at the lowest price that the PowerLung company will allow us to sell them.
I will private message you with some clinics and doctors that you can contact to begin your search for your mom if you are interested in getting her stem cell therapy.
