Thalassemia major boy saved after stem cell transplant

A five-year-old thalassemia-major boy got a new lease on life following a successful stem cell transplant and would never require another blood transfusion for thallesemia, doctors who treated him said here today.
"Kavya, son of Mahesh Vaghela who works with the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), under went a stem cell transplant last month. His condition is fine now as the donor cells have been accepted by the body," Dr Uday Deotare of Sterling hospital, who led the team of doctors who operated on Kayva told reporters.
"The stem cell were extracted from bone marrow of Kavya's elder brother Mihir (7)," he said.
Giving a brief medical history of Kavya, Deotare said that Kavya was detected with thalassemia major when he was six months old. 85% of his young life was spent on transfusion after transfusion: "Since then he has been undergoing blood transfusions every month till he was four and half year old. His parents had approached us some time ago for the operation which is very costly," he said.
"Now that the operation is successful, Kavya would not need blood transfusion for the rest of his life. However, he would be on medication for next one year," Deotare said.
Kavya's father Manish said that he was very happy that his son was cured and would never need blood transfusion. "I am thankful to the doctors who saved my boy," he added.
The difference between medicine controlled by super-powerful corporations (which own every democracy in the West) is that if it is not profitable to Big Pharma, to HMOs, to medical device companies and to insurance companies, IT IS NOT LEGAL.
The Medical Mafia doctors, instead of caring about their suffering and dying patients, lie to them and tell them stem cells are “snake oil and dangerous and don’t work.” That way they won’t complain as the FDA, owned by those corporations, pretend that stem cells are “unproven” and the patients die without a whimper or a protest. ---Don Margolis

If you ask your pulmonologist if stem cells can help your lung disease (COPD, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, etc. etc.) he/she will tell you “No---stem cells are snake oil.” That is what we hear from almost every lung patient who comes to us trying to get out of the medical prison imposed by all lung conditions. We know that stem cells have helped dozens treated in Latin America and Europe, but a disease almost no one has heard of?
Ten years ago, one teen in the state of Washington was told she only had months to live, but today, 16-year-old Mailia Goforth has defied the odds and continues to surprise doctors.
At the age of 3, Mailia was diagnosed with Eisenmenger's Syndrome. It's a heart defect that causes high blood pressure in her lungs and doesn't allow her to breathe on her own.
But recently, Mailia and her family took a trip across the country for a special procedure using stem cells. The hope, to fix her lungs and be one step closer to closing up a hole in her heart.
After more than a month of recovery, Mailia says the $50,000 operation worked, and she's getting stronger everyday.
She can now take out her breathing tube and even find enough energy to play outside. She tells me, after a few more operations she could be able to run, jump and do everything most 16-year-olds can do.
"It feels amazing," she said. "I know I'll be able to do everything I've always wanted to do without having to get sick anymore... just to be free at last."
Free at last from the worry and stress of her disease is what the family is wishing for. To get there, she still needs her lungs to get stronger from the stem cell surgery. Once the lung pressure goes down she will be able to have heart surgery.
