Amazing results after stem cell therapy for Friedreich’s ataxia

⏲️2 minutes read

We appreciate Liam’s mom for sharing their journey about Liam’s stem cell therapy at Beike for Freidreich’s ataxia. It’s encouraging to learn about the positive effects this journey has had on Liam’s condition, and it’s clear that your family has found great meaning in it.

Liam was experiencing fatigue, low strength, and poor coordination before the treatment, all of which are typical signs of Freidreichs Ataxia. The fact that stem cell therapy is not available in their country of origin led them to investigate the possibility, and they selected Beike because of its standing and quality of care.

According to them, their first few days in Thailand have been easy and convenient, with the Beike team and the hospital staff offering great support and care. Although Liam had some mild reactions, his first stem cell treatment eventually produced positive effects: increased energy, decreased fatigue, and improved stability and balance.

Liam seems to have made significant progress because of Beike’s comprehensive approach, which includes extra therapies and nutrition. His fine motor skills have also improved, which is encouraging to hear.

The way the treatment has improved Liam’s quality of life is evident from your overall satisfaction and support. We appreciate and find comfort in your encouraging words for others contemplating similar treatment.

Liam’s health continues to improve, and we appreciate you sharing his journey with us. Best wishes to your family.
