anesthesia.
• The stem cells from the collected bone marrow are evaluated to measure their strength and vitality in our
government-approved (cGMP),ultramodern laboratory.

Case Example(Pre Stem Cell treatment symptoms)
Name of Patient : Zivota Jeremic
• In March 2005, He suffered from a car accident. His injuries were severe and he became paralyzed.
• His left arm was completely non-functional. He could use her right arm with 40% capacity. He had no feeling below his chest, although he was able to sense the need for urination and defecation. His life had completely changed. He began to lose hope because conventional medicine had no answer to his predicament.
• During 2008, he realized that the implantation of stem cells would give him a new chance for a better life.
Post Stem Cells TreatmentName of Patient : Zivota Jeremic
• After intrathecal injections of autologous stem cells in September 2008, he started with daily exercise and high motivation for recovery.
• After 6 months, sensation in his back and partially in stomach muscles has returned.
• Feeling returned in his right leg, and partially in his left leg as well. Now, he had complete feeling in his private parts and most importantly his erections are now the same as they were before the accident.
