Paralyzed from the waist down after a snowboarding crash, Josh Millard puts his hopes in experimental (adult) stem-cell surgery.
The Millards learned about the unusual Portugal stem-cell surgery in a May report on the "CBS Evening News."
The procedure involves removing cells from the injured person's nasal cavity and transplanting them into the damaged portion of the person's spinal cord. Unlike embryonic stem cell research, the surgery Josh Millard seeks does not involve the destruction of a human life. In addition, the therapy has been performed on more than 50 patients, almost all have reported some physical improvement.

My son was injured Mar 20, 2005. His spinal cord was "compressed" he is paralyized from the waist down however he has feeling in his lower body and experiences muscle spasms in his legs. He is only 37 years old and was such an active man it is heartbreaking to not know how to help him. any information about nasal cell therapy please. Thank you
