preventing leg amputation
Peripheral Arterial Disease (Leg Blood Vessel Disease)
Step 1
WHAT WILL IT TAKE to prevent partial or full leg amputation in approximately 100,000 people yearly (in the U.S. alone) due to blood vessel disease like PAD (peripheral arterial disease) and poor circulation?
Stem cells obtained from fat (even from thin people) have a very strong ability to rescue legs from gangrene in mouse studies of gangrene intended to simulate critically poor circulation in people.
Such studies have been conducted in at least seven laboratories around the world. All of these studies show a very clear effect of fat-derived stem cells to save legs and improve blood supply. The data suggest that these cells have stronger ability to help with blood supply than bone marrow cells, and can contribute to building new blood vessels.
IT WILL TAKE $100,000 to conduct an animal study to allow for FDA approval as a final step before this trial is permitted in humans.
IT WILL TAKE YOU. The clinical investigators are ready. The rest is up to YOU. Please contribute. Some whom you love, and many others, are depending on your generosity for a chance to save their legs from amputation and walk pain free once again.
step 2
WHAT WILL IT TAKE Stem cells obtained from fat (even from thin people) have a very strong ability to rescue legs from gangrene in mouse studies of gangrene intended to simulate critically poor circulation in people.
Such studies have been conducted in at least seven laboratories around the world, All of these studies show a very clear effect of fat-derived stem cells to save legs and improve blood supply. The data suggest that these cells have stronger ability to help with blood supply than bone marrow cells, and can contribute to building new blood vessels.
IT WILL TAKE $1,200,000 to conduct the first human trial.
IT WILL TAKE 40 patients targeted for leg amputation to manage their poor leg blood vessel circulation.
IT WILL TAKE YOU. The clinical investigators are ready. The rest is up to YOU. Please contribute. Some whom you love, and many others, are depending on your generosity for a chance to save their legs from amputation and walk pain free once again.
