Adult Stem Cells Give Shawn His Life Back

Tuesday, October 1st, 2013

15-years ago Shawn began to feel pain, overwhelming fatigue and his health deteriorated quickly.

In a little more than a year, Shawn’s body was failing him on many levels.

He survived, but was left numb to life, both physically and emotionally.  Doctor after doctor admitted defeat in treating him, until he decided to allow himself to become part of an experimental therapy at the National Institute of Health in Maryland.

Shawn’s adult stem cell treatment was six years ago, but today he’s walking up to a half mile on the treadmill.
