Penny Thomas-Parkinson
Disease(USA)
Name: Penny Thomas
Sex: Female
Country: USA
Age: 52
Diagnosis: Parkinson's
Syndrome
Medical history before
stem cell treatment:
Penny was diagnosed with
Parkinson's eight years ago.
BEFORE THE TREATMENT (May 11,
2006): Penny suffered under
uncontrollable shaking. Her
muscles were extremely tense.
She had high muscle tensions
and although she looked like
she was extremely strong, in
fact her muscles were very
weak. When she was walking or
doing anything, she would have
freeze ups during which she
would stop and not be able to
continue her motion. When she
was talking on the telephone,
her situation would make it
difficult to maintain a proper
conversation. She could not
read or write because of the
tremors she experienced. She
could not eat by herself. She
could not get out of a bed or
out of a chair by herself. She
could not brush her hair. She
had trouble turning her neck.
Penny received injections of
retinal neural stem cells into
the brain of retinal neural stem
cells and a daily cocktail
treatment of neurotropic
factors by Dr Li Ke Wu and Dr
Xiaojuan Wang.
After stem cell treatment
(July 4th, 2006):
Penny's shaking was greatly
reduced but it still came back
from time-to-time. She noticed
that after the treatment at
times when the shaking did
come back, that if she
concentrated, she could stop it.
The muscle tensions had
disappeared. Her strength
increased. The freeze ups
stopped completely. She could
read and write again. She could
speak on the telephone. She
could eat by herself. She could
get out of a chair and out of a
bed by herself. She could turn
her neck normally and she could
brush her hair.
July 21st: (From an e-mail from
Penny) - I have returned home
safely. I am driving once again
after passing my driver's exam.
In October I gave up my driving
because I did not feel I was safe
anymore and it was just adding
too much stress to my life.
Friends are amazed at what
they see they just keep staring
at me...my self confidence has
returned also. I went sailing the
other day... I actually was at
the helm of the boat for 2 and 1
/2 hours! I feel like I'm a kid
again.
October 25th: (From an e-mail
from Penny) - Aloha, I have
recently returned from
traveling for a month on the US
mainland visiting friends and
relatives. I even attended my
35 year high school class
reunion! My how time does
change us all and flies by.
I continue to be in a state of
great excitement and joy for
life. I used to ride horses quite
regularly in Colorado, so my
friends made sure that I had
that experience as well during
my visit. I was in heaven!
I saw my 15 year old daughter
after not seeing her for 3
months. The first thing she said
was "Mom, is that you? You're
so strong!"
I am still swimming with the
dolphins in the ocean when they
choose to come to swim with me!
I am hoping to be able to start
to make some reductions of the
medications to see how the
stem cells will respond soon. I
have noticed that I have been
missing some of my 10pm meds
(because I fell asleep reading)
and so I am noticing my body
seems to be okay with this.
I have also discovered a more
natural way to feed the brain L-
dopa by an herb known as
Macuna puriens. There is a
website that has a neuro-
program, that my doctor is
going to help me to be
monitored and involved with. It
will actually help the stem cells I
believe to produce the dopamine.
You might want to check out
the websites that I have looked
at, they are,
www.CHKNutrition.comand
www.neuroassist.com. I know
there are urinalysis every week
or two to determine the
dopamine levels in the beginning.
I think this is a very important
step for people to be able to
take in order to step away
from prescription meds if they
can. I tried a sample instead of
Sinemet one afternoon, it
seemed to work fine in its
place, but of course, that was
only once.
