Sorry, but I just came back to Manila on May 16 and got sick and has to delay my flight back to Davao, my home province. Then my computer conked out on me and had to have it repaired before I can even post my update.
Barbara and Carmen, I am sorry for not responding to your messages, but I was still in the US at the time and was not feeling very well. Anyway here is the update.
April 18, - Stem cell treatment with bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and placenta blood.
The first week was okay.
On the start of the 2ND week, I had a lot more SOB at less exertion and recovery time is a lot longer.
Middle of 2ND week- I felt like a cold coming, runny nose, lot of coughing. Took Zertek - D. Stayed on bed. The feeling lasted only for three days.
At middle of 3RD week cold symptom came back and again lasted for 3 days.
Start of 4TH week was better because SOB stage is about the same as before the stem cell treatment.
May 14 - Flight back to Manila - developed full blown flu like symptom without the fever. trouble breathing with Oxygen supply set at 4 LPM. Delayed trip back to Davao (my home province) until breathing became bearable for the plane ride (May 20).
Presently, I am still trying to recover from this flu like symptom.
Summarizing this update, the first month is a lot of ups and down feeling and there is no improvement yet on my condition.
By the way, I tried to go to the Nepsis website and was surprised to see it automatically go to a different website called Biogenesis Institute. Some concern on my part developed because as I mentioned before, the facility where I was treated was not the same as shown on the Nepsis website or catalogue and a Dr. Vasquez treated me instead of Dr. Ramirez. My treatment took place on a rented place in another building. I did not see any modern equipment shown in the catalogue. I contacted Dr. Payne ( my Nepsis contact) and I was told that Nepsis is now concentrating on Research and Development work and that the sister company, Biogenesis Institute handles all the clinical work.
According to Dr. Payne, the stem cell mixture that they treated me is the same mixture that they treated other emphysema patients before and that any improvement on my condition could take place in 6 to 8 months.
