My real life testing
Today I found a comment on my blog. I got asked about testing. How I did. How you can handle the results. I had my Grandpa, My Mom’s Step father saying he did not want any HD grandchildren. He wanted us tested before we got married. What is sad is two of us who did that. I could not let my Grandpa’s worst fear come true. I was the first to find out I had it. Another thing pushing me. I had two futures that I could have done. Wrestling or dancing or getting an education. I did not want to waste money or time if I put it off. The main thing that will help lesson the fear. Distract yourself. Try not to think about it. That is how the fear is created. Is the knowledge. The knowing. I did break down two days before I got my result. When Mom sent me that dream. Rely on your family. You will need them though the period. I relied on everyone. The night before testing I stayed at my cousins house. She was negative. That morning she took me out for ice cream. She thought something easy like that would be good for me. Don’t think. Don’t give into the fear. The fear will make you even more afraid of the result then necessary. My Dad and my friends were there. There is so much hope. Don’t ever get scared of dying. We have good years ahead of us. Don’t feed the fear. Eat the fear. Take it in and deal with it.

Looking at China
CHINA STEM CELLS
The World-Leader in RSC treatments for neurological and autoimmune diseases: No center in the world can match this conglomerate of hospitals for:Number of Diseases treated, and Number of Patients treated They use only cells that actually work, disdaining embryonics and foetal cells for SCIENTIFIC reasons, not because of moral issues. That makes me and them an army of two shouting that argument.Primary is autologous stem cells from the patient's own body. Second is fresh cord blood stem cells that are made to order. These cord blood stem cells are never frozen as they believe that even a cryo freeze can lower the viability and quality of the Repair Stem Cells.Recently, in response to dozens of stories in the press about Western patients being helped by Beike, the science company behind StemCellsChina.com, Western doctors try to give the impression that the miracles performed daily by Beike's doctors are "unproven." Our Chairman, Don Margolis, recently responded to one such article. Here is an extract:As the article says, Beike uses both cord blood stem cells and autologous (from the patient) stem cells. They intentionally disdain embryonic stem cells, NOT for moral reasons but because as far as injecting them into sick humans goes, they are scientifically worthless. In that sense they are light years ahead of the West, whose own anti-scientific standards include ignoring what works and fighting for funding for what does not and can not work, i.e. implanting embryonic stem cells into the bodies of sick humans. The article's headline calls Beike's work unproven. They are unproven only by those whose standards force our patients to either trek across the globe for treatment or stay home and be told that, according to those standards, their suffering is untreatable. I prefer to believe that it is those self-serving anti-scientific Western standards which are unproven, not Beike's treatments. Here is the long list of stem cell treatments offered by Beike:Alzheimer's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Ataxia Cerebellar Ataxia ( Includes Type 6 ) Hereditary Ataxias Spinocerebellar Atrophy and Spinocerebellar Degeneration Acquired Ataxia Machado-Joseph disease Olivopontocerebellar Atrophy Early Stage Ataxia Telangiectasia Autism Spectrum Disorders Rett Syndrome Absence of the Septum Pellucidum Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum Acquired Epileptiform Aphasia Aicardi Syndrome Bell's Palsy Brachial Plexus Injury Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries Brown-Sequard syndrome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Central Cord Syndrome Central Pain Syndrome Central Pontine Myelinolysis Cerebellar Hypoplasia Cerebral Atrophy Cerebral Hypoxia Chiari Malformation Cerebral Palsy Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Encephalopathy Epilepsy Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy(Ohtahara Syndrome) Glycogen Storage Disease(Pompe Disease) Glucose Transfer Disorders Guillain-Barr? Syndrome Huntington's Disease Hypertonia Hypotonia Infantile Spasm Kennedy's Disease (Bulbospinal Muscular Atrophy, X-Linked Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy) Landau-Kleffner Syndrome Lissencephaly Meningitis and Encephalitis Motor Neurone Disease Primary Lateral Sclerosis Microcephaly Multisystem AtrophyIncluding Type C Multiple Sclerosis Myoclonus Myoclonic Encephalopathy of Infants Myopathies Congenital Myopathy Muscular Dystrophy Neurotoxicity Optic Nerve Disorders Septo-Optic Dysplasia Optic Nerve Hypoplasia Optic Atrophy Damage to the Optic Nerve Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Parkinson's Disease Perisylvian Polymicrogyria Post-polio Syndrome Schizencephaly Spastic Tetraparesis Spina Bifida Spinal Cord Injury Spinal Muscular Atrophy Stroke Transverse Myelitis West Nile Virus West Syndrome Whether or not you see your diagnosis listed, always write directly to this address for further information about any neurological disease:
