**These discounts do not apply if you wait until you are on site to opt for additional stem cell transfusions**
Bone Marrow Surgery: there is an additional cost of $5000.00 USD for this procedure if booked at the time of your registration. If booked on site the cost is $5500.00 USD. If you are interested in obtaining this in addition to the above treatment please let us know at the time of your registration. This procedure is only available to those already undergoing a full treatment program. We must know at the time of your booking if you wish to have this procedure. For more detailed information on this procedure please ask your medical consultant.
*Currently we only offer BMT’s at our Hang Zhou location.
If for any reason the doctors at the treating facility determine after your evaluation that you are not a suitable candent for a BMT your funds will be refunded or you can opt to have the applied to additional stem cell transplants.
NOTE:
Each transfusion contains approximately 10 to 15 million stem cells. Along with each transfusion patients are also given a transfusion of Neural Growth Factors. Transfusions are given IV and/or via transfusion into the Cerebral Spinal Fluid. This determination is made on site by the treating medical team.
You can request if you wish to have all stem cell transplants by IV only.
Included are free transportation to and from the hospital via car or minivan and the local airport and free accommodations at the hospital for the client and one caregiver. We also offer a complementary rehabilitation program. This therapy which is customized for each individual patient is provided free of charge and may be 1 to 2 hours done 4 to 6 times per week depending on the patient’s ability to participate (Sunday’s off). Meals and laundry service are not included. Meals are not served at hospitals in China. You can have your laundry picked up and done by an outside service at a reasonably low price.
Note; there is an additional fee for transport via a Handicap Van with a wheelchair lift of $200.00 round trip (see below).
* Additional transfusions booked at least one month prior to treatment (this is on a case by case basis depending on room availability) are US $3,500 each. Each transfusion may require an additional 2-5 days in the hospital. This option is only available to those already participating in a full treatment program.
** If you opt for additional transfusions outside of the above parameters and/or during your hospital stay they will be $3,900 US each. This may require an additional time in the hospital and/or that you stay in a hotel near the hospital, which would be at your own cost. This option is only available to those already participating in a full treatment program.
NOTE: There is an additional transport charge of $200.00 USD round trip for those with electric, non-collapsible chairs that require a handicap accessible van with a ramp and/or lift.
This type of transport would also be needed for anyone unable to be transferred into a typical van seat and/or those who would need to remain in their wheelchairs during transport.
Transportation by ambulance; if you are not able to be transported in a van and will require transport by ambulance there is an additional cost of $800.00USD per trip (one way). This must be arranged for in advance so please let us know if this is a concern for you.
Electric Wheelchairs; We advise that you bring the lightest and most compact chair you have. Large, heavy, non-folding or non-collapsing chairs are very difficult to travel with and to transport in our SUV type vans which do not have ramps or lifts.
Shanghai Airport; we no longer offer transport from Shanghai.

Prices for treatments in China are reviewed on a quarterly basis and are therefore subject to change. As the market value of the “dollar” changes in relation to China’s currency of RMB we must alter the prices in USD to match its relational value to the RMB. Please note that while it may seem as if the price is increasing it is in fact not as the prices are keep stable in RMB currency. Rather it is the currency exchange rate which is constantly changing and we must alter our quoted prices to reflect this. All prices are set in USD as it is considered to be the standard world exchange and therefore all payments must be made in US Dollars. We find it best to review prices every three months and make adjustments on a quarterly basis.
The following prices are valid from September 15th 2008 to December 15th 2008.

Stem Cell Transplantation Benefits Mice With Childhood Motor Neuron Disease
ScienceDaily (Sep. 8, 2008) — The motor neuron disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the second most common genetic disorder leading to death in childhood. There is currently no cure for SMA, but some clinicians and researchers consider stem cell transplantation as a potential therapeutic strategy.
And now, Giacomo Comi and colleagues, at the University of Milan, Italy, have generated data using a mouse model of SMA to suggest that spinal cord neural stem cells (NSCs) might be a possible treatment for individuals with SMA.
In the study, NSCs from mice in which a green marker protein was expressed only in nerve cells known as motor neurons (the cells that are defective in SMA) were transplanted into the fluid bathing the spinal cord of mice with an SMA-like disease.
The transplanted cells developed into a small number of motor neurons and the treated mice showed improved muscular function and increased lifespan, when compared with untreated mice.
Further analysis indicated that the major effect of NSC transplantation was that the transplanted cells improved the survival and function of the motor neurons already in the mice, making them more like normal motor neurons (at the gene expression level).
The authors therefore suggest that in the future, NSCs might be used in the development of therapeutic protocols for the treatment of SMA and other motor neuron diseases.
Neural stem cell transplantation can ameliorate the phenotype of a mouse model of spinal muscular atrophy. Journal of Clinical Investigation, September 3, 2008
Stem Cell -Potential terapi untuk SMA?
Berikut beberapa video di Youtube dari Beike Biotech di China. Apakah memang merupakan satu satunya harapan untuk pasien SMA?
Di bawah ditampilkan beberapa video mengenai stem cell untuk SMA. Sebagai informasi bahwa memang hasil test untuk tikus putih, stem cell berhasil menambahkan kekuatan otot. Hasil riset akan di posting sesudah ini.
Namun, beberapa kalangan masih meragukan akan efektifitas stem cell ini untuk meningkatkan kekuatan otot penderita SMA.
Juga ditampilkan video yang menampilkan apakah penyakit SMA itu, untuk pengetahuan bagi khalayak ramai yang ingin mengetahui.
Sebagai pre-caution beberapa caption di dalam video ini mungkin agak "shocking" atau "mengejutkan" dengan keadaan anak penderita SMA type I (type yang severe atau berat) bagi orang yang tidak biasa melihatnya.
Sebenarnya videonya mau ditampilkan, tetapi setiap diupload kok error, ya sudah sementara diberikan link youtube lebih dulu. Mudah-mudahan di lain waktu videonya dapat langsung di upload.

Kenapa penderita SMA biasanya mengalami gangguan pernafasan dan pencernaan
Kenapa penderita SMA biasanya mengalami gangguan pernafasan dan pencernaan?
Karena penderita SMA tidak mampu mensintesa protein jenis tertentu, di mana protein itu sangat berperan dalam menghantar pesan dari otak ke jaringan otot untuk bergerak, maka otot penderita SMA menjadi lemah atau tidak bisa digerakkan (silahkan baca literatur dari Stanford yang sudah di post sebelumnya).
Tulisan ini juga mengambil point-point singkat dari Stanford yg sudah diposting.
1. Pada saat bernafas, otot di paru-paru harus bergerak. Gerakan otot di paru-paru sangat penting untuk mendapatkan supply oksigen untuk dipasok ke sel sarah merah, lemahnya otot pasien SMA di paru-paru membuat kemampuan menghirup oksigen terbatas, sehingga supply oksigen untuk dipasok ke sel darah merah berkurang. sehingga ada "multiflier effect" dari kurangnya oksigen sampai dengan kurangnya oksigen di dalam sel darah merah.
Apalagi, pada saat tidur gerakan otot kita melemah (tidak sekuat pada saat beraktifitas), demikian juga pada penderita SMA, sehingga bisa tersengal2 karena tidak ada pasokan oksigen di paru-paru. Itulah makanya penderita SMA perlu bantuan alat pernafasan, terutama pada saat tidur.
2. Lemahnya gerakan otot pencernaan (untuk mencerna usus perlu melakukan gerakan periltastik dsb), membuat makanannya yang terlalu berat tidak akan mampu dicerna dg sempurna oleh pasien SMA. Terutama dng SMA type berat yaitu SMA type I dan type II yang berat.
