Because cerebral palsy is the result of neurological developmental injury, cerebral palsy patients are prime candidates for stem cell therapy.
Stem cells, especially neuronal progenitor cells, are present in umbilical cord blood. In the brain, neuronal progenitor cells have been shown to differentiate into new tissue circuitry that is needed for a variety of specialized neural functions. Effective neural function, of any type, depends to a great extent on the establishment of precise physical pathways and connections that allow electrical communication between individual neurons and between entire classes of neurons; stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood have been shown to repair these types of connections.
Gabor talkin about his life with Cerebral Palsy, Before treatment [part3]
Video Descriptions: Gabor suffered from attention deficit disorder (ADD). He had concentration difficulties, which made reading, writing and studying, in general very difficult. Manual writing, in particular was extremely difficult for him. He appeared to have dyslexia in both Hungarian, his mother tongue, and in German while reading fluently in English. His speech was basically good but slower than normal.
