Stem Cell Guidance soars on Autism successes

BANGKOK, Thailand, 13 December 2007 - Global biotech guidance company Stem Cell Guidance has announced that the number of inquiries for stem cell therapy for Autism has skyrocketed recently, due to the dramatic reduction in symptoms after therapy.

Autism Spectrum Disorders sufferers have serious impairments with social, emotional and communication skills that cause serious problems with everyday life. Add to that the fact that almost two thirds of children with autism have at least one additional disability or epilepsy and it is clear just how challenging it can be for parents. Hyperactivity, delayed speech and social interaction skills, repetitive behaviors, impulsivity or aggressiveness, for example, result in placing huge demands upon parenting resources and parents reach out anywhere they think may help their child.

Stem cell therapy, using umbilical cord blood, plus nerve growth factors and rehabilitation therapy can result in a marked reduction in symptoms. Treated children have been shown to demonstrate being able to engage in simple conversations, sit calmly, follow instructions, play, make eye contact and converse more coherently. The progress, much to the delight of parents, seems to continue at a steady level.

Stem Cell Guidance (www.stemcells21.com) is independent of any one stem cell provider. They exist in order to help people who may benefit from biotechnology advances made in stem cell therapy across a wide variety of disorders once thought to be untreatable. The science is releasing almost daily impressive clinical and patient/parent-reported results. Meanwhile consumers are left wondering where to go and to which provider of therapy. Most realize that it is early days yet, but hundreds of clinical trials are being done in various countries with most encouraging results, and patients and families prefer not to wait, or feel they are running out of time.

With the number of inquiries rapidly increasing it is timely to have an independent organization that can assist with compassionate, knowledgeable and helpful counsel.
