The evidence would've been provided if that was true. It, however, is not. No one has regained any function from a stem cell treatment offered abroad. The only real evidence of recovery from spinal cord injury after a stem cell based therapy has been in the United States. And that was done with embryonic stem cells on animal models by Dr. Hans Keirstead at UC Reeve Irvine.
