Every parent of a special-needs child
is gonna have lots of hopes and dreams for their child.
Worst case scenario, we were going to have her
at a phenomenal therapy program
and best case scenario the stem cells would work for her body
and she would get results from them as well
Anna has spina bifida, myelomeningocele and hydrocephaly,
and she has a shunt
and she is adopted
and we got Anna about two weeks old
She is unable to urinate on her own
So she has to be catheterized every four hours
And also she is paralyzed from the waist down
and she has no feeling so she is unable to crawl or walk or stand
When my mom told me she had an idea for Anna to do stem-cell treatment I was definitely skeptical
so I wanted to do a lot of research on my own
I found six families that have used Beike
and got stem cells and all of them had differing results
But were positive and they encouraged me that it would all work out
So that turned my opinion ultimately
Good afternoon my princess!
Beike helped us to put this whole package together
where we were able to get stem cells and therapy and we stayed
the whole 25 days and we've seen really good improvements
She has so much energy
Especially after stem cells
She came here maybe able to walk in her brace about 220 feet
and she's walking about 780 feet right now
She is wiggling her toes in her sleep at night.
Yes all night long her toes are wiggling
and she is responding to stimuli in one of her legs
This leg was completely flaccid and it did not move at all
now she's able to move that leg
During acupuncture, she actually said it itched. She's told us several times that things hurt
And for a child that doesn't feel anything that's huge news
We're able to touch her toe on her right foot and she will move her right leg
In the middle of the night we are no longer having to cath her, she is urinating on her own at night
That is huge improvement for a family that has to wake up every four hours around the clock
Well, I like acupuncture and .... the oxygen
OK, one more time! one, two... more, more, more! push more!
The hospital staff have been inspiring for Anastasia
They always approach every therapy, every day with a good attitude
and that's important when you're working with a child
Especially someone as young as Anastasia. if you approach a child with a good attitude
Nine times out of ten, they're going to give you a good attitude back
and it really affects how well she has done in therapy here
and it also affects us. We are tired were jet-lagged
The first week we were absolutely exhausted,
but we were always greeted with smiling faces and that changes your day.
Beike is phenomenal, in a word
When you're making such a large journey,
You're going across several countries, across the ocean
It is definitely very calming when you get there
and everything is exactly the way it's supposed to be as it has been explained to you
It is a full service program
The results that we have gotten we are very happy with I think Anastasia is very happy
I would recommend this for any special needs child or an adult that has issues
The stem cells have made a wonderful improvement with Anna any time your child
wiggles a toe or is able to feel that something itches and has never felt that before
Those are huge gains and you should not be afraid to come, they are very very welcoming
and we plan to return at least one more time, if not two.
If you are thinking of giving stem cells from Beike
I would say do not let fear stop you
because that was the hold up for us for a couple of months
and you kind of have to take a leap and go for it
and they will be here with a net to catch you on the other side
and it's going to be a great journey
you're going to learn so much about your loved one while you're here and what they need
and how you can help them in your home country,
I would definitely say you need to use Beike

How to Treat Sun-Damaged Skin Like Dark Spots and Freckles, Without the Downtime - Duration: 8:46.
Sun damaged skin with resulting in freckles and dark spots can appear at any age.
This includes situations such as younger people who've experience a lot of sun exposure
or indoor tanning, as well as older people with accumulated sun damage which becomes
more visible in later years.
Treating sun damaged skin in the past involved aggressive treatments accompanied by long
downtime.
Modern technologies allow me to help my patients get comparable results, but without the prolonged
healing process.
I'm Dr Amiya Prasad.
I'm a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon and Fellowship Trained Oculofacial Plastic & Reconstructive
Surgeon.
I've been in practice in Manhattan and Long Island for over 20 years.
I have been treating sun damaged skin since I started my practice.
I started first using deep chemical peels and fully ablative CO2 laser.
As medical technology evolved, I adapted the use of less aggressive fractional lasers such
as CO2 and Erbium lasers.
In addition, I routinely use nonablative lasers which leave the top layers of skin intact
resulting in tupically no downtime.
I also synergistically use regenerative medicine technology like PRP or platelet-rich plasma
to further improve the skin at the same time.
Types of sun damaged skin ranges from different concentrations of melanin and pigment.
Light to dark discolorations that manifest as small spots are commonly described as freckles
or solar dyschromias.
Larger, more defined spots are commonly described as dark spots or brown spots, which we call
in our field solar lentigos.
These freckles and brown spots occur between the top and bottom layer of the skin, called
the dermal-epidermal junction.
To treat dark spots and freckles in the past involved removing, or ablating the top layer
skin.
This was first done with chemical peels, also known as TCA peels, which stands for trichloroacetic
acid, which required significant recovery for the top layer of skin to regenerate.
Chemical peels also tended to treat unaffected areas of the face, so treatment wasn't localized
to small areas.
This meant that more surface area of the face was involved in the healing process.
While TCA peels are effective, they did require patients to take time off work while their
facial skin was still peeling for several days after treatment.
Skin treatment evolved into the first fully ablative CO2 lasers in the mid 1990s.
CO2 lasers also removed the top layer of skin, and required significant downtime.
Lasers were also effective but patients were exposed to a lot of heat energy, and doctors
and practitioners had to manage the effects of high levels of heat on the skin.
Fully ablative CO2 lasers also involved removal of the top layer of skin, with heating of
the lower layer of the skin, the dermis.
A lot of healing time was needed.
Patients could be out for weeks while waiting for a skin layers to come back and cover up
the skin which was intensely red.
The laser technology I use in my practice every to treat solar dyschromias and lentigos
are treated without the need for prolonged downtime.
I discuss with my patients during consultation what the specific aspects of the skin my patients
want to see improve.
I also discuss the amount of recovery needed for the issues they are concerned about.
For example, if they want to address fine lines, an option we can use are fractional
lasers.
There is a dual benefit to fractional lasers.
One is the removal of irregular top layers of skin which is the epidermis and the other
is energy delivery for collagen remodeling in the lower layer of the skin, the dermis.
Unlike fully ablative laser treatment, fractional lasers allow surface areas to be left intact
which results in faster healing.
If the main concern is about dark spots and freckles, I usually use a Q Switch laser.
The laser can go through the top layer of skin leaving it intact while breaking up the
pigment caused by sun damage.
The approach to treatment is typically to have patients come in monthly so the pigmentation
progressively diminished without any disruption in the patient's schedule.
I explain to my patients that the pigmentation caused by the sun is comparable to a tattoo
even though a tattoo is placed in the deeper part of the skin.
The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment and broken up into smaller particles which
are metabolized by the body.
Like all laser treatments, skin type and skin color are very important factors in the type
of laser used and the energy settings.
Generally speaking, lighter skin can take a higher energy setting, while darker skin
needs a lower setting.
As I stated earlier, I routinely employ the use of regenerative medicine technology such
as platelet rich plasma and hyaluronic acid to help the skin quality.
It's actually a routine for us to perform Q switch laser treatment, which we refer to
as laser toning with PRP and hyaluronic acid delivered to the dermis called skin boosting.
In fact, PRP has been documented in the medical literature to be beneficial in treating hyperpigmentation
which further makes this combination an effective strategy.
Treating pigmentation and other skin issues caused by sun damage no longer requires the
long downtime of chemical peels and aggressive lasers.
As mentioned earlier, since the top layer of skin is intact with the Q Switch laser,
healing time is minimal to none even when combined with skin boosting.
This means your skin quality and areas of pigmentation can be treated conveniently without
interruption in your daily routine.
I recommend using other products such as sunblock to protect the skin from sun exposure which
can cause more brown discolorations to appear.
I hope you found this information helpful...thank you for your question.

Diverticulitis and Diverticulosis: Diagnosis and Treatment - Duration: 11:03.
Diverticulitis and Diverticulosis: Diagnosis and Treatment
The diverticula are little pockets which protrude from the lining of the large intestine.
When they become inflamed or infected, they give rise to two conditions: diverticulitis and diverticulosis.
Learn more about them in the following article.
What you need to know about diverticulitis.
Its caused when the pockets in the large intestine become inflamed and trap fecal matter.
It often affects those over age 60 and the exact cause is unknown.
Its thought to be caused by prolonged poor nutrition.
That is to say, lack of fiber, excessive constipation and the consumption of processed foods.
One of the problems with diverticulitis is that it often doesnt cause symptoms until the condition becomes chronic.
If the condition is severe, patients may experience:.
Blood in the stool. Gas or distension.
Fever. Chills.
Sensitivity in the lower abdomen.
Nausea and vomiting. Lack of appetite.
Pain in the lower back.
Facts about diverticulosis.
Diverticulosis can cause difficulty evacuating the bowels of accumulated fecal matter.
When the colon is full of feces that isnt eliminated, the risk of toxicity is increased.
This can result in all sorts of diseases.
The infection can spread to other organs like the peritoneum.
The causes of diverticulosis include:.
A poor diet containing toxic substances or irritants.
Weak intestinal muscles caused by being overweight, constipation or not going to the bathroom often enough.
A sedentary lifestyle, bad habits and lack of exercise.
Emotional causes: negativity, stress, pressure, and anxiety.
The symptoms include:. Constipation.
Pain in the abdomen when going to the bathroom.
Inflamed stomach. Hard stools. Gas.
The best natural remedies for diverticulosis and diverticulitis.
In addition to changing eating habits and starting an exercise routine, you can take advantage of the benefits of Mother Nature to treat problems like diverticulitis and diverticulosis.
The best home remedies are:. Flax seed.
The seeds or flour of the flax plant contain a lot of fiber.
Dont forget that you will have to grind and hydrate them, otherwise, they will make the condition worse.
Consume 1 tablespoon of powdered flax seed on an empty stomach and another before going to bed with a good amount of water.
This natural recipe is not recommended for pregnant women or those suffering from blood disorders or intestinal blockages.
Wheat bran.
Another great source of fiber that you can take advantage of.
It will help reduce constipation and improve the quality of stools.
Wheat bread is the best way to ingest this grain.
Some people add wheat bran powder to:.
Cakes. Soups. Creams. Salads.
Smoothies. Juices. Chamomile.
This herb possesses the ability to reduce inflammation and alleviate the symptoms of diverticulitis and diverticulosis.
It can be ingested as a tea. Ingredients.
1 tablespoon chamomile flowers.
1 cup water. Directions.
Boil both together and let brew for a few minutes.

Its an excellent remedy for people with problems like diverticulitis.
Use it to flavor salads, soups, creams or sauces.
Cumin.
Also known as Indian saffron and the main ingredient in curries, cumin is a perfect anti-inflammatory.
It should be consumed sparingly because it increases body temperature and has a very strong flavor.
It reduces swelling in the intestine caused by diverticulitis.
Apples.
These fruits contain a lot of beneficial properties.
They contain both insoluble and soluble fibers and help keep the digestive system and intestines functioning properly.
Those suffering from diverticulosis should eat peeled apples, both raw and cooked, and always in small pieces to make them easier to digest.
Plums.
Either fresh or dried, theyre a well-known remedy for constipation.
They provide plenty of fiber and are recommended for patients with diverticulitis.
They regulate bowel movements and help the water in the intestines to form softer stools.
What should I avoid if I have diverticulitis or diverticulosis?.
You should not consume this food if youre suffering from diverticulitis or diverticulosis:.
Whole seeds. Strawberries.
Popcorn. Sesame seeds.
Sunflower seeds. Pomegranates.
Blackberries. Raspberries.
Coffee. Chocolate.
Soft drinks. Processed food.

Pediatric Depression: When Does Parental Refusal for Treatment Constitute Medical Neglect? - Duration: 2:09.
Adolescents probably do not get to contribute to their mental health care as much as they
do about other things, like other illnesses.
And part of the reason for that is actually certain state laws.
So the Florida state law actually says that kids can't consent to their own antidepressant medication treatment.
So if a kid wants to start an antidepressant medication and the parent doesn't, we can't
do it.
Kids can't admit themselves to a psychiatric hospital because they are depressed or suicidal.
The state's law actually says that kids under the age of 18 are disabled.
That is what the law says.
Some parents refuse to treat depression in their children because they don't understand
what depression is.
So parents may not realize depression is a legitimate medical illness.
So what that means is that we have to work with the parents a lot on why we think treatment
is important.
With depression, I think it is very difficult, it is almost like an invisible illness.
It is very difficult to just see symptoms of it.
If you have an asthma attack, you going to see your kid coughing or not breathing.
It is hard to see depression.
And sometimes when we talk parents about what is going on with their kid, they don't see
it, because depression is invisible and depression makes kids feel like they have to keep it
a secret because they feel ashamed.
That can actually make depression worse.
So, like not only are we not treating depression, but we can actually be making it worse by
not listening to when kids tell us how bad they are feeling and by ignoring their requests
for help.
But we really need to fight for the kids.
The kids are the ones that are suffering and the kids are the ones who are dying.
I don't think people realize that depression kills.
People always say that people die from suicide, that is really depression.
So if we view depression like any other illness, we should be able to talk about it like any
other illness, we should talk about the risks and benefits.
But we should also hold people accountable for getting treatment.
And if you have a kid who is suffering with an illness and they ask for treatment, we
should find a way to get that kid treatment.
