How long does it take for the treatment to work?
Bonnie asked me this question and it is a tough one. Every individual is different. I know that my lungs felt like they were taking in more air within an hour of treatment. Others, feel some immediate relief from their disease immediately also. After 15 weeks I can say the roller coaster ride I was on initially has smoothed out. I see small improvements daily. This is not an overnight cure by any means because the stem cells are actually regenerating the damage in your body. In my case, I have COPD, so it is the lungs that were targeted and are getting repaired. We asked the company where we got treatment if we could write a patient informational booklet that would help patients understand and not be confused or scared about what is happening, but alas it was not meant to be. They haven't gotten around to doing anything about it. That is one reason Jeannine and I have written a book. This is from our point of view and documents the treatment and the daily ups and downs you will have. No two people are alike, but there are many things that everyone will experience to some degree and it helps to know what is normal and what isn't. Also, Nassin who has COPD had adult stem cell treatment. He was able to get off of O2 in a little over three weeks. I am still on it but no longer 24/7 as I have time periods where I can be without. He has some SOB, I have none. There are differences, but according to my doctor, everyone will receive some benefit. It may also make a difference how sick you are, your age, physical condition, etc. In some cases, this may make no difference. That is why we are the Pioneers. There are not volumes of information and years worth of records to document our treatment. We stepped up to the plate as soon as we could and we hope our information will be of use to others. I made the right choice. Of that I am 100 percent sure. There are several other forum members that have had astonishing results in a short time. Some will require boosters (MS patients according to Ed will need one). I do not think I will need one, but I would not say 100 percent that I won't. The doctor told me that improvements can be seen up to 2 years after the initial treatment. I see something new everyday, so I believe this. It may only be that I can walk upstairs and not drop down to 89 on my sats, but 90 for that day. Just little things adding up for sure.
