Cameron's Journey

I am very Thankful that one year ago at Thanksgiving Dinner, I asked my friend Donna Haynes what she thought about the www.recoveringmatthew.blogspot.com that I sent to her. She said she believed that it would work for Cameron too & said that she would help me do the fundraising that we needed in order to get the stem cell treatment for Cameron. She has worked so hard this last year helping us and so has her family, The whole gang has been amazing supportive. I am so Thankful for every single person who helped us to raise the money to get the treatment done. Especially Donna, Eric, Jamie, Schelly & her dad, Mica, Jim Corbin & the wrestlers, The Ky Bikers association, Richard & Effi, The Corvette City Bop Club, SKTPA, Sheila, & My incredible MOM who has worked tirelessly!! Thank you Tami Milam & Daniel Faiella for being pioneers and advocates for stem cell treatment and for sharing your childrens storys and success with me. Thank you to everyone who has suppo

Study Shows Autism Numbers Up, Some Parents Concerned Shared via AddThis

Study Shows Autism Numbers Up, Some Parents Concerned A new study is showing some startling numbers -- that one-in-91 children is diagnosed with autism. Posted: 6:40 PM Oct 6, 2009 Reporter: Daniel Kemp Email Address: daniel.kemp@wbko.com Story 0 Comments Font Size: A new study is showing some startling numbers -- that one-in-91 children is diagnosed with autism. The study released Monday uses data from the federal government's 2007 National Survey of Children's Health. Those numbers amount to more than one-percent of the U.S. population of children, ages three-to-17. They're alarming stats to one mother whose son battles autism every day. "It's not going away. Every year the numbers go up," said Dana Emmitt-Hall, mother of Cameron Hall, who suffers from autism. Each week, the five-year-old goes to TJ Samson Rehabilitation, where he works on living with autism. For Dana, new numbers showing a significant increase in the number of children with autism is n

Watching Stem Cells Repair the Human Brain Monday, August 17, 2009 TAU researcher shows viability of bone marrow stem cells with unique MRI tracking methods There is no known cure for neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. But new hope, in the form of stem cells created from the patient's own bone marrow, can be found — and literally seen — in laboratories at Tel Aviv University. Dr. Yoram Cohen of TAU's School of Chemistry has recently proven the viability of these innovative stem cells, called mesenchymal stem cells, using in-vivo MRI. Dr. Cohen has been able to track their progress within the brain, and initial studies indicate they can identify unhealthy or damaged tissues, migrate to them, and potentially repair or halt cell degeneration. His findings have been reported in the journal Stem Cells. "By monitoring the motion of these cells, you get information about how viable they are, and how they can benefit the tiss

« newerautisable's weblogolder » Monday, 03 August 2009 Autism and Stem Cells - Part 1From: Dr. Chun Wong Everyone has heard of stem cell research and how some scientists believe that stem cells can be used to treat, cure or fix certain diseases and conditions like cancer and cerebral palsy, but now stem cell therapy is also being linked to developmental disorders like autism. But what are stem cells? Stem Cells Stem cells are cells that are found in most multi-cellular organisms and they are characterized by their ability to self-renew through a process called “mitotic cell division” and the way that they can differentiate into a wide range of specialized cell types in the body. There are three types of stem cells: Adult stem cells - These cells are also known as somatic stem cells or germatic stem cells and are found in adults and children. Adult stem cells have been used in research for many years and are used to treat bone and blood cancers like leukemia, through bone marrow tr

I had to keep Cameron very busy to make him happy this summer. One of the adventures was to take a helicopter ride. We flew over the Smokies. He did fine without crying or anything but he did cover his eyes once. I don't blame him.

He is very intrested in Bubbles, Space and Animals. We tried to get alot of adventures in this summer that would allow him to expand his knowledge in these areas. Kelsey has also picked up the hobby of collecting rocks! We have had alot of fun learning all about these new subjects.

Since the treatment is not approved by the FDA in the U.S., they'll have to go to Peru for it. At just 18-months, little Cameron Hall was diagnosed with autism. His mother has researched the condition tirelessly and is now hoping this new procedure will open up the doors in her son's young life. "He's very intelligent. He's extremely intelligent, but he can't express that," said Dana Emmitt-Hall, who is Cameron's mother. Four-year-old Cameron is fighting a battle with autism.

Connecting the dots Family raises funds so 4-year-old autistic son can make trip to Peru for stem cell treatment By ALYSSA HARVEY, The Daily News, aharvey@bgdailynews.com Friday, July 24, 2009 11:44 PM CDT Print this story Email this story Text Size Hunter Wilson/Daily News Dana Emmitt-Hall (right) rubs her 4-year-old son Cameron’s head as he rests Wednesday during lunch period at Red Cross Elementary School. Cameron has autism, and his family is raising funds to travel out of the country to receive stem cell treatments. After a recent minor car accident, Dana Emmitt-Hall received a gift from her 4-year-old son Cameron - a full sentence. “He said, ‘We ran into a car. Easy,’ ” she said. Words don’t come easy for Cameron, though. He has autism, which, according to the National Institutes of Health National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Web site at www.ninds.nih.gov, is a developmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonv

God's Glue This is a pretty neat story and an interesting thing that few of us know. It's brief, so please read on…. (Not sure who the origninal publisher of this story is, but I found it very interesting) A couple of days ago I was running (I use that term very loosely) on my treadmill, watching a DVD sermon by Louie Giglio...and I was BLOWN AWAY! I want to share what I learned....but I fear not being able to convey it as well as I want. I will share anyway. He (Louie) was talking about how inconceivably BIG our God is...how He spoke the universe into being...how He breathes stars out of His mouth that are huge raging balls of fire...etc. etc. Then He went on to speak of how this star-breathing, universe creating God ALSO knitted our human bodies together with amazing detail and wonder. At this point I am LOVING it (fascinating from a medical standpoint, you know.) ...and I was remembering how I was constantly amazed during medical school as I learned more and more about God&#

Autism, Stem Cells and What the World URGENTLY Needs to Know: The Body Ecology Perspective by Donna Gates for BodyEcology.com Are you worried about the health of your children? Autism now affects 1 out of every 150 children born, but there is something we can do about it. Stem cell therapy is a new autism treatment that in addition to diet and lifestyle changes can heal our youngest generation and those to come. As you know, I created the Body Ecology Diet to heal systemic fungal, viral and bacterial infections. It has become clear over time that the Body Ecology program provides healing for many different kinds of physical problems. In fact, most of the health problems we suffer from today are fungal (or yeast) based...even cancer. This is certainly true for children who are suffering from an infection we now call autism. Spreading the word that autism is both treatable and preventable is a major goal. Doctors and scientists are not exactly sure why children develop autism, but the st

July 11, 2008 STEM CELLS: THE FINAL PIECE OF THE AUTISM PUZZLE? By Kent Heckenlively, Esq. It’s a discussion I’ve often had with my wife Linda over the years. As I share with her the latest findings about how to rid our daughter’s body of heavy metals, and bacterial and viral infections my wife asks the inevitable question that her years of training as a speech therapist compels her to ask: How much damage has been done between the time of injury and the time we addressed these problems? Because she works as a speech therapist in the rehabilitation unit of a major hospital she has seen the damage done to the brain by car accidents, strokes, and cancer. She has seen startling recoveries, understands the value of hope, but also knows that many times the dream of complete recovery goes unfulfilled. It has been with great interest that I’ve been investigating the idea of stem cells as a treatment for autism. In 2007 an article entitled “Stem Cell Therapy for Autism” was published in the

University of Virginia, Department of Family Medicine, P.O. Box 800729, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA. dlross7@hotmail.com Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder currently affecting as many as 1 out of 166 children in the United States. Numerous studies of autistic individuals have revealed evidence of cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and gastrointestinal inflammation, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, relative mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter abnormalities, impaired detoxification of toxins, dysbiosis, and impaired production of porphyrins. Many of these findings have been correlated with core autistic symptoms. For example, cerebral hypoperfusion in autistic children has been correlated with repetitive, self-stimulatory and stereotypical behaviors, and impairments in communication, sensory perc

Medistem Laboratories Inc, Tempe, Arizona, USA. thomas.ichim@gmail.com Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental conditions whose incidence is reaching epidemic proportions, afflicting approximately 1 in 166 children. Autistic disorder, or autism is the most common form of ASD. Although several neurophysiological alterations have been associated with autism, immune abnormalities and neural hypoperfusion appear to be broadly consistent. These appear to be causative since correlation of altered inflammatory responses, and hypoperfusion with symptology is reported. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are in late phases of clinical development for treatment of graft versus host disease and Crohn's Disease, two conditions of immune dysregulation. Cord blood CD34+ cells are known to be potent angiogenic stimulators, havi

Dear Friends and Family, As you may know we are in the process of trying to raise money for my son Cameron age 4, to be able to receive adult donated umbilical cord stem cell treatments for autism. This procedure is not done in the united states except for a few select government approved clinical trials. We need to raise $25,000 in order to be able to get the treatment for him and will have to travel outside of the US to get it done. This treatment is showing great promise for recovery of autism. To me these stem cells are the perfect gift from God. He is the creator and man has now learned to use these "gifts" to help us with many health ailments. Our hope is that God will use us to be pioneers into this process to help pave the way for this to be approved here in the United States. We will be "blogging" our process on Cameron's website www.cameronsjourney.blogspot.com We will be doing many fundraising events over the next few months and I hope that you
