Adult Stem Cell Group Having A Rally
Posted on August 11th, 2009 | by Stem Cell News | 
A group of patients who have been helped by stem cell research using Adult Stem Cells have formed a group called the Stem Cell Awareness Association. This group is growing fast with prospective stem cell patients and even US doctors joining the movement. They will be holding a Stem Cell Awareness rally this Saturday, June 13th, 2009 in Denver.
Making Others Aware of the Benefits of Adult Stem Cells
The Stem Cell Awareness Association was formed by Carol Peterson. Carol is the grandmother of Cameron Peterson, a young toddler who was blind from Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, but now can see thanks to stem cell therapy in China using Adult Stem Cells from cord blood.
Educated Freedom of Choice
Carol says the mission of the Stem Cell Awareness Association can be summarized in four simple words, “Educated Freedom of Choice.
“Our group is mainly made up of patients who have experienced what is really available in other countries and while we don’t want to exert influence over other patients’ decisions, we do want to make them aware that what is available in the U.S. is not representative of what is available throughout the world.”
US Medical Establishment Protecting Patients Or Are They More Worried About Lawsuits and Reputations?
David Aldrich, a spinal cord injury patient who has improved tremendously after his stem cell treatments in China also weighs in on the topic-
“I am worn out from dealing with a medical establishment that does not provide me with the best treatment available and oftentimes tries to stop people like me from seeking treatment abroad under the guise of protecting me,” said Aldrich. “My short-term goal is to let people know that there is help available, no matter what your physician says. But my real goal is focused on bringing people together to figure out what can be done so I don’t have to go abroad for my next treatment.”
If you guessed that David was referring to the American medical establishment not providing him with the best treatment available, you would be correct.
Too Much Focus On Stem Cell Research and Not Enough Focus On Helping Patients Now With Adult Stem Cells?
While America focuses on “research” using billions of taxpayer dollars, other countries are using Adult Stem Cells now and actually helping patients improve their lives.
For example, take Shel Morse, the mother of Macie Morse, who was legally blind from her optic nerve hypoplasia, but CAN NOW DRIVE! after receiving adult stem cell therapy in China, she has her say -
“Macie’s journey to stem cells started when she turned 15 and asked for a driving permit. It wasn’t even an option with her current vision, not to mention the fact a vision teacher of hers had stated it was never going to be possible and we should just face reality. At that point I knew that it was my mission to let people know that they don’t necessarily have to live with the diagnosis their local doctors give them.
“Macie’s doctors not only criticized the companies we told them about but actively discouraged us from help overseas – help that they could not offer. The reason why I got behind this organization and decided to set up this event in Denver is because the patients need to join together to have a voice. Our medical society needs to get serious about real health care; we cannot rely on our current system – it is broken. U.S. doctors and scientists need to focus on doing what is necessary to help patients instead of their reputations and how they can make money.”
What else can I say? Carol, David and Shel said it perfectly. See the full stem cell press release here
