Looking for other options, SammyJo found Celltex in 2012 and began using her own MSCs. Following this first round of therapy, she noticed immediate improvements. She had regained feeling in her hands and experienced higher energy levels. Improvements kept coming following more rounds of therapy. She reached a point where she could walk using a walker, something that hadn’t been possible since she became wheelchair-bound.

SammyJo now spends much of her time advocating for the increased accessibility of one’s own MSCs for therapeutic applications. She has spoken at a FDA hearing and even started her own organization, Patients for Stem Cells, to fight for this cause.

Watch this webinar where SammyJo shares her journey with progressive MS, what results she has seen in using her stem cells, and her advocacy efforts.
