I am new, and looking for treatments for Dry AMD. I just get vague generalities from sources and nothing really specific. I have no luck getting through to Xcell center in Germany. Can anyone help? Jack M.

I don't know what to say about the effects of my last treatment in February. Somedays I think I am better, other days the same and of course other days I feel worse. My oxygen saturations are high with 2.5 liters of oxygen and drop into the low 90's with walking. Without oxygen they drop into the low 80's and sometimes the 70's....when walking. They stay arounf 90 without oxygen when I am standing still. My local Dr. always does a metabolic panel when I see her because I am a type 2 diabetic....

DO YOU KNOW OF A GOOD STEM CELL CLINIC NOW DOING WORK FOR HEART PATIENTS? THERE IS ONE IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA AND ONE IN COLORADO???ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE HELPFUL. MY HUSBAND HAS CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE WITH A METAL HEART VALVE AND A DEFIBULATOR. TRIED TO GET HIM IN CLINICAL TRIALS BUT HEART VALVE DISQUALIFIES HIM.

I take back my last report. I've turned up my oxygen to 2.23 liters because my heart rate was too high on just 2 liters. I think I am essentially the same as before treatment but it took 3 months the last time before I could really tell a difference. My saturations are about 97=98 with oxygen, but drop when I walk without O2...not quite as far, but not significally differnet. I've gained a little weight so that isn't helping, I'm sure. More at a later date.

It has now been about six weeks since my treatment in San Salvador. I am feeling lots more energy and have lowered my O2 from 2/12 liters to 2. My saturations sitting are 98% and stay at around 95 when exercising mildly and walking with oxygen. I hope the results will continue to hold. I will have pulmonary function tests again in July. Thanks to the power of pray, Barbara and Jeaninne, and all of you for great advice. Pat
