2.16 -> I'M TELLING YOU, YOU NEED IT.
3.9 -> YEAH, WE DO.
5.3 -> THANK YOU, LONNIE.
6.87 -> POTENTIALLY GROUND BREAKING
11.51 -> RESULTS ABOUT STEM CELLS AND
11.87 -> RESULTS.
12.97 -> AFTER INJECTING STEM CELLS
14.38 -> INTO THE BRAIN OF SOME PATIENTS
21.58 -> DOCTORS SAY IT LED TO
23.08 -> REMARKABLE RECOVERIES.
29.36 -> Reporter: CONVENTIONAL
42.57 -> WISDOM HAS THAT -- STROKE THAT
45.97 -> SEVERELY DAMAGED HER BRAIN.
48.41 -> THIS IS SONYA'S STROKE.
51.08 -> Reporter: IT PARTIALLY
52.38 -> PARALYZED HER --
53.68 -> SHE COULDN'T ORDER FOOD OR
54.18 -> COMMUNICATE WELL.
55.68 -> Reporter: TWO YEARS LATER
57.65 -> SHE COULD STILL HARDLY LIFT HER
62.36 -> ARM BUT JUST ONE DAY AFTER AN
63.52 -> EXPER MEMBER FALL TREATMENT SHE
66.03 -> COULD LIFT HER PREVIOUSLY
67.16 -> IMMOBILIZED ARM OVER HER HEAD
69.43 -> AND MOVE IT AROUND.
86.58 -> AND HER WORDS BEGAN TO FLOW.
91.69 -> AND USING A VERY FINE NEEDLE
93.02 -> INJECTED MONOFIERED HUMAN ADULT
94.25 -> STEM CELLS AROUND THE AREA OF
94.66 -> THE STROKE.
95.49 -> WE PUT THEM AROUND THE
96.62 -> STROKE AND THAT IS WHERE THEY
99.13 -> DO THEIR THING TO RECOVER THE
99.49 -> FUNCTION.
101.06 -> Reporter: THE STEM CELLS
104.5 -> CAME FROM THE BONE MARROW OF
112.47 -> TWO ADULT DONORS AND THEN
112.84 -> MODIFIED.
114.21 -> THE CELLS SOMEHOW JUMP START
114.81 -> THE SYSTEM.
115.88 -> Reporter: HERE'S ANOTHER
117.08 -> STROKE PATIENT JUST BEFORE
117.44 -> SURGERY.
119.41 -> AND HERE SHE IS JUST DAYS AFTER
122.92 -> RECEIVING THE STEM CELL
123.32 -> TREATMENT.
124.52 -> AS FOR SONYA SHE IS MARRIED AND
125.69 -> PREGNANT WITH HER FIRST CHILD.
128.99 -> AND IT'S A BOY.
129.92 -> Reporter: BUT FIRST SOME
132.96 -> WORDS OF CAUTION.
133.86 -> THIS WAS A SMALL STUDY AND IT'S
138.07 -> HARD TO COME UP WITH A
138.67 -> SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION.
140.9 -> IT'S ALSO HARD TO EXPLAIN IT IN
144.67 -> A WAY WITH THE PLACEBO EFFECT.
145.87 -> SO NOW RESEARCHERS ARE STARTING
147.74 -> A MUCH BETTER STUDY TO PROVE
150.14 -> THE STEM CELLS WORK THE WAY
150.51 -> THEY DO.
151.78 -> THEY THOUGHT AFTER SIX MONTHS
153.28 -> OR SO THE BRAIN, THE AREA
157.45 -> AROUND WHERE THE STROKE
158.89 -> OCCURRED WAS DEAD.
160.95 -> APPARENTLY IT'S STILL ALIVE AND
168.73 -> COULD BE REVITALIZED WITH THESE
170.7 -> STEM CELLS.
174.27 -> THE AVERAGE AGE IS 61 IN THESE
174.64 -> PATIENTS.
177.94 -> AND THEY WERE SIX MONTHS TO TWO
179.51 -> YEARS AFTER A STROKE.
