Advances in spinal cord injuries can't come fast enough

These 2 technologies working together would be a cool rehabilitation tool....

But if the cells were transplanted from his nose, would the patient start smelling his backside? Hey it is great stuff. I can see these other techniques providing hope for longer-term paraplegics. In short-term patient the topically applied medicine may be all that is needed, strangely enough.

Probably just more suicide inducing false hope for paraplegics

Sorry to say its not going to be an easy road or a quick fix. As hard as it is, one has to keep pushing for good results.

One can't underestimate mobility.

At times just a little mobility, no matter how, can be a relief, no matter how slight.

This came in on my feeds a few days ago.

A friend of mine has developed a transcutaneous treatment that is applied over the area where the spinal cord injury was received. Healing and re-gaining nerve impulses and muscular control depends on the delay between injury and the first application of this medicine. I think that is also a miracle. Requires no implant.
