I have joined the ranks of parents taking their children out of the country for adult stem cell transplantation. We traveled to Costa Rica to the capitol city of San Jose to The Institute of Cellular Medicine. My son is 13 years old and has a clinical diagnosis of Autism and Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (a severe seizure disorder). He received a total of 36 billion cells over 4 days. 18 billion were administered interthecally and 18 billion IV. The ICM clinic has its own stem cell lab so they maintain control of the cells from harvesting to administration. I was blessed to have one of my Mom¹s (Dixie) travel with me and we decided to rent a car and stay outside of the busy capitol area. We stayed at a quiet beautiful inn in Escazu called Costa Verde. We are not city people and we felt this calm beautiful place offered a more healing environment. While traveling my son was a kindness magnet and all our travels felt blessed. The ICM staff was efficient and skilled. They have explained that we will not see the benefits of treatment for about 3 months. I am hopeful this treatment will pave the way for my son to be seizure free. I will share any gains my child makes here so please continue to check in to see how we are doing.
