Thanks for posting.

I really do not like these videos. They seem so disingenuous. It's more of an advertisement than anything else.

The information is all over the place. Nothing they say is consistent from one minute to the next. Did he have triceps? Did he not? That changes within minutes.

He was up and moving around within 2 days? Okay let's see. Get up out of the wheelchair. Have a PT there with him. Let's see him at least be weight-bearing. At the very least his ankles are moving now? Let's see that.

It's always just people talking about how nice the people are in Thailand. I've been to Thailand a few times. Yes the people are very nice. Great. That's helpful. Now let's see some functionality.

If I didn't know better, I would think these people are offered small discounts on the stimulation or the "stem cells" or both to make these commercials...

So true. I thought it was just me who was skeptical about these videos, but glad to see others feel that way as well.

You are absolutely right! Even though these videos have been coming for years there is little to show in terms of actual improvement. During the section on improvements the discussion falls flat.

It is honestly sad when you actually hope something works out.

I have seen nothing but years of horse Shit from that center in bangkok

[sriv]

Absolutely. They have been doing this for years with virtually nothing to show.

And they are preying on the vulnerability and desperation of people with SCI. I really wish somebody would shut them down.

[Mitchitsu]

Agreed. They are absolutely preying on desperate people.

There are stem cell centers in America that are doing it as well. I visited one about a year after I got hurt.

I think it was about $6,000 for them to inject you with absolutely nothing. Unfortunately a person I was in rehab with went through with it because he needed to try something. He was scammed.

It seemed fishy to me but I wanted to hear feedback from people.

I wanted to hear feedback from people that have actually been there too and that place has been putting out testimonials for YEARS ...time to call a spade a spade

The individual in the video is probably an actor .. . . . or they are utilizing one those transdisabled people mentioned in the news recently just to rub it in. Nothing wrong with using someone faking a disability if you are operating a fake medical clinic.

I have contacted them.
Its $105,000 for implants, maping, 3 months pysio therapy and residence for 2 people covered.
i hope to hear from someone who had this treatment to bring more details that are not just paid advertisement.
