No Scooter for Schlueter

Richard Schlueter, a man who could barely walk 35 feet to get the mail, a man with an ejection fraction of 35%. To steal a quote from the Six Million Dollar Man-- "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology."

Richard found us - Theravitae, which is offering its stem cell therapy
for heart patients.

Richard came to Thailand in September, 2006 to treat his heart disease with his own adult stem cells.

Yo Richard, what did you think about it?
“We had a great time in Bangkok. The doctors were great. The nurses were great. My wife said it was the best vacation she ever had.” Richard said.

Thanks for the compliments Richard and the big question- how did it work?

“Six months after my stem cell treatment, my ejection fraction had jumped from 35% to 42%. After 1 year, it was 48%. Now, in January 2008, it is 59% which is normal for an 80 year old man like myself!” Richard exclaimed.

Stem Cell Guy-- I want to hear more from Richard!!!

Stem Cell Therapy Helps Texan Heart Patient

Joe Woolfolk- This man doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. But that is ok, Stem Cell Guy doesn't know the meaning of many four letter words either. That was Stem Cell Guy's bad joke of the day. But thank you for your polite chuckle.

Back to my man Joe- After a couple of heart attacks, Joe was suffering from congestive heart failure. That is when he came to seek stem cell treatment at Theravitae.

Joe was treated with his own adult stem cells just a little over one year ago. What about the hopsitals Theravitae uses to treat heart disease patients?? Stem Cell Guy will turn it over to Joe...
“I’ve been in and out of so many hospitals through the years, but it was the best, most modern and cleanest hospital I have ever been in. Dr. Kit Arom (Chief Cardiothoracic Surgeon of Bangkok Heart Hospital) and Dr. Permyos Ruengsakulrach are two of the best doctors I have ever seen,”

One more thing...if you are one who thinks Stem Cell Guy is creating fairy tales...please contact Joe to confirm the stem cell treatment story. His phone number is 214-697-0086.


OH STEM CELL GUY...LET ME READ THE FULL VERSION, DON'T JUST TEASE ME WITH QUOTES!

Heart Scan Blog

Since this blog mainly focuses on heart disease, Stem Cell Guy thinks it is appropriate to recommend a blog he found recently. It is called the Heart Scan Blog and is run by a Dr. William R Davis. Dr. Davis is a cardiologist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. And contrary to what some of you may have thought (including Stem Cell Guy), Wisconsin actually fares pretty well in the Cardiovascular Deaths rankings- #16 so those Wisconsin cards seem to be doing some good work. Yo Oklahoma, you are dead last. You have to make some lifestyle changes there. Maybe if Bob Stoops can ever win a bowl game....it may change your fortunes.

But I digress..back to Dr. Davis. The blog says it is "A frank and open discussion about CT heart scans, heart disease prevention and REVERSAL. The Heart Scan Blog accompanies the Track Your Plaque website."

Dr. Davis also says "I am deeply disturbed by the state of affairs in heart disease. Hospitals, drug companies, medical device companies, and physicians all profit enormously from heart disease. Here I expose the startling array of scams that exist. I discuss how people can recognize them and potentially avoid them."

However, unlike the UN which is "deeply disturbed" or "deeply concerned" on a regular basis and then does nothing about the problem (except call for more 'discussion'and 'meetings' to waste U.S. taxpayer money)...Dr. Davis actually offers good sound advice for heart disease patients. Stem Cell Guy thinks it is worth checking out.

Dr. Davis doesn't cover stem cell therapy, but nobody is perfect.

OH STEM CELL GUY! I WANT TO SEE THIS HEART DISEASE BLOG BY DR. DAVIS!

Another Hawaiian Helped by Stem Cell Therapy

Ok, this time we will stick with stem cell therapy- adult stem cell therapy. No more rants on big sunglasses. But just a quick memo to guys who have finished high school, but still wear football or soccer jerseys with the name of their favorite player on the back- You look silly too and Stem Cell Guy is coming after you next!!

As Christmas is coming up. Stem Cell Guy would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. And I think Patrick Moran would like to say something similar. Patrick came to Bangkok in March, 2006 to receive his adult stem cell treatment and happily enough, it was a success.

Here is the key quote from Mr. Moran-

“I have seen steady improvement since receiving stem cell therapy. I’m not sure how a 68 year old male is supposed to feel like, but I feel somewhat normal now. Using a person’s own stem cells to heal them and extend their life is wonderful. God is blessing this kind of work.”

OH STEM CELL GUY, I WANT TO READ THE FULL STORY!!

Readers Respond to Stem Cell Therapy Blog's Attack On Big Sunglasses

Stem Cell Guy really stirred up the hornet's nest this time. You may have seen in my post a couple of days ago "New Adult Stem Cell Blog," I told the people who wore those "trendy" red tinted 1970's sunglasses that they look ridiculous and they should "take them off."

Well, Stem Cell Guy has never had such a negative reaction to one of his posts before. Have a look at what some of my loyal readers emailed to me.

Dear Stem Cell Guy,

I have been reading your stem cell therapy blog for many years, but this time you went too far. I am one of those who wear those 'ridiculous' sunglasses and I will continue to wear them despite your advice. Additionally, I am now boycotting this blog and will concentrate on selling real estate that nobody has "discovered" yet on late night TV at 4 am.

Best Regards,

Erik Estrada (Ponch from CHiPs)

Sorry Ponch. Stem Cell Guy will somehow have to survive without you.






Here is another one-

Dear Stem Cell Guy,

I have been reading your stem cell therapy blog for a long time(even when I was in jail!) I also had plans to make you my next boy toy! You could have been famous and been seen with me. But then you took a cheap shot at my glasses. How could you? It is over now. I will never visit this blog again.


Sincerely,

Paris


Stem Cell Guy even received an email from the Unabomber saying he wasn't going to read my blog anymore. I didn't know I had such a following.

Well, it is time for the weekend. I hope you (yes, even Ponch, Paris, but not the Unabomber) have a great weekend. Stem Cell Guy will try to make up for his "faux pas" in the future. You won't see references to "The Fly" or "Top Gun" sunglasses anymore!!

New Adult Stem Cell Blog

Despite what all of you may think, Stem Cell Guy isn't the coolest guy. Stem Cell Guy doesn't drive a Ferrari, Stem Cell Guy doesn't own any Armani suits, and Stem Cell Guy doesn't own any oversized Porsche red tinted sunglasses that make me look like "The Fly."

A quick side note: If you wear those Porsche "Top Gun" sunglasses...you look ridiculous. Stem Cell Guy doesn't care if it is a new "trend" or "it is cool." You look ridiculous. Please take them off.

Sorry, I got sidetracked. What Stem Cell Guy really wants to say today is there is a new adult stem cell blog. This blog is smart. It is informative. And they even have a sense of humor. It isn't one of those stuffy blogs that seem to talk down to you. Even a simpleton like Stem Cell Guy can understand it. Stem Cell Guy is going to make it a daily read.

The blog is apparently written by a person called "benotafraid." However, Stem Cell Guy is afraid. Stem Cell Guy is afraid that this excellent new blog will steal all of my loyal stem cell therapy fans.

Benotafraid actually interviewed Stem Cell Guy (Click on link below) and did an excellent write up on Don Margolis- the Theravitae founder who will be coming out with his own new blog next week.

OH STEM CELL GUY. I LOVE YOUR BLOG AND WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU, BUT I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS NEW ADULT STEM CELL AWARENESS BLOG AND YOUR INTERVIEW!

Sneary Isn't Sneering at Adult Stem Cell Therapy

Stem Cell Guy is back. This time Robert Sneary is my subject. Sneary, 62, is originally from Glendale, California, but is now a Maui man. He is a very pleasant guy with a boundless supply of energy and a positive personality and he isn't sneering at the benefits of stem cell therapy. Now surfing waves like Kelly Slater, Robert is very happy about his stem cell treatment. He came to Bangkok (and Theravitae)in January 2006, and he "knew it was going to work." Stem Cell Guy wishes he had Robert's positive outlook on life too, but Stem Cell Guy is happy enough if his air conditioning works (living in Bangkok with broken air conditioning is like the Cleveland Cavaliers trying to play basketball without LeBron James).

OH STEM CELL GUY, SHUT UP AND PLEASE LET ME SEE THE BOB SNEARY STORY!

Stem Cell Therapy Gives Australian Man His Sense of Humor Back

Yes, loyal readers, I know what you are thinking after reading the title. "Then why doesn't Stem Cell Guy go for stem cell therapy too, so he can get a sense of humor?" Unfortunately, it is a genetic trait, stems from Stem Cell Guy's father, it seems I was born to tell bad jokes and be unfunny.

This week Stem Cell Guy presents Mick Fleming. Mick, 73, from Queensland, Australia was suffering from congestive heart failure. Mick came to Bangkok when??? Stem Cell Guy doesn't know when he came because it isn't in the story. Who writes those terrible Theravitae/Vescell stories anyway?? What happened to Jammin'Jon?

Ok, I found it. Mick Fleming came to Bangkok in July, 2007 to receive stem cell treatment for his heart. Stem Cell Guy thinks Mick's wife Phyllis says it best-

Phyllis continued, “His sense of humor is back. He is laughing again. It was worth every penny. Going to Thailand for the stem cell treatment was the best thing we ever did. It gave Mick the will to live again, a new life.”

OH STEM CELL GUY! I WANT TO READ ABOUT MICK'S STORY!!

Also, Mick and Phyllis and their son have volunteered to give their time to talk to you- my loyal readers. If you would like to email/call the Flemings to verify Stem Cell Guy's version of their story, please email stemcellguy@theravitae.com and Stem Cell Guy will happily provide their contact info.

Patient On The Way To Thailand For Stem Cell Therapy

Usually Stem Cell Guy writes about patient who have been treated with Vescell adult stem cell therapy. However, today, we have a special treat for all of you loyal readers (all 2 of you- Hi Mom and Pop!). Stem Cell Guy is going to give you a story about a heart disease patient who is on her way to Thailand for stem cell treatment. This Pennsylvania family is going to a lot of trouble to get here and as Marcia Hirschmann says "In my best-case scenario, we go to Thailand and the stem cells work." Stem Cell Guy is hoping for the best-case scenario as well and wishes the Hirschmann family the best.

OH STEM CELL GUY! I WANT TO READ THE THIS BEAUTIFUL STORY!!

Leroy Lee Living Life Again After Stem Cell Therapy for the Heart

Stem Cell Guy would like to present Leroy Lee, our latest patient volunteer. Leroy, 82, came to Bangkok to receive his stem cell therapy for heart disease about 1 year ago. Leroy who lives in Hurst, Texas, was very happy to describe his experience and how Theravitae's adult stem cells helped him. In fact, you are welcome to call Leroy at 817-282-6408 or you can email him at leroy7@charter.net

Here is Leroy's story-

Leroy Lee, who was confined to a wheelchair due to his shortness of breath brought on by his heart condition, now is out of his wheelchair after receiving adult stem cell therapy in Thailand.

Leroy, 82, from Hurst, Texas is a firm believer in stem cells. Why? It started in August 2006, Leroy’s heart condition was deteriorating “I couldn’t walk to the mailbox. I had trouble simply walking to the kitchen to eat. I was huffing and puffing all the time.”

However, unlike the wolf in the fairy tale, Leroy wasn’t blowing any houses down. “I couldn’t breathe. I knew I had to do something so I got on the internet and I found Theravitae,” he said.

Theravitae is an international biotechnology company that specializes in treating heart patients suffering from congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cardiomyopathy with their own adult stem cells.

Leroy tells his story, “I asked to speak to some of their former patients. They gave me the name of Bob Grinstead in Georgia. “When I called the number, I first reached Bob’s wife. I said ‘I wanted to talk stem cells with Bob.’ She was off the phone for a moment and then came back on and said ‘He is running down the stairs now.’”

Leroy thought, “‘he was running?’ I was almost convinced to go right at that moment!”

In October, 2006, Leroy arrived in Bangkok, Thailand for his adult stem cell treatment. “My wife and I were treated like royalty, we loved our time there, and the quality of treatment was excellent,” Leroy said.

Leroy was treated using his own stem cells derived from an easy, painless 250cc blood donation. The adult stem cells were implanted into his coronary arteries via catheter in a non invasive procedure very similar to an angioplasty.

Now, more than one year after his adult stem cell therapy, although limited by a back ailment, Leroy is feeling great. “I’m not in a wheelchair anymore. I’ve been walking ever since the stem cell treatment. I don’t believe in the medications. They didn’t help me, but my own stem cells did.”
