Description

Dr. Carlos Lima had this groundbreaking clinical trial published in The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine in 2005. Dr. Lima showed that Adult Stem Cells taken from the patient's nose (olfactory mucosa) can significantly improve the lives of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients.
All patients in the trial treated with their own Stem Cells improved their ASIA motor scores. Normally, there is little increase in function in people with complete spinal cord injuries so changes in ASIA scores are almost certainly due to the Adult Stem Cells.

Dr. Lima believes that stem cells taken from the nose provide the greatest rate of neurogenesis.

Dr. Lima is an esteemed member of the Repair Stem Cell Institute and more information on Dr. Lima and stem cell therapy for Spinal Cord Injuries can be found on the Repair Stem Cells website.
