I never thought of this as an option, but it is definitely viable and also legal for Americans to go to where you can stem cell treatment with little to no governmental influence. It's just a very expensive "plan B" from plane tickets, to hotels, and also the stem cell procedure. One man, Alexander McKenzie Wallace, despite the expense made this trip.
At age 70, Alexander made the trip to China this past September as a last chance to save his life and fight his disease, Ataxia. Ataxia' means ‘absence of order’. People with ataxia have problems of co-ordination. This is because parts of the nervous system that normally control co-ordination and balance are affected. Ataxia is the principal symptom of a group of neurological disorders called the cerebellar ataxias. Most are progressive, meaning your symptoms get worse.
What's most exciting though is watching Alex's improvement. I cannot embed the videos onto my blog but can provide links for you to read his interviews and see his videos. After only a month, Alexander went from only being to walk short distances and then neeeding a rest, to stamina improvement so much he could walk upstairs. His story is truly unbelievable.
