Press Release Body: November 29, 2007 - Beijing, CHINA - Tiantan Puhua Hospital Stem Cells Center (http://www.stemcellspuhua.com) under TP Biomedical Ltd., the leader in treating neurological disorders such as brain injuries and degenerative diseases, announced today that over half of their current international patients are planning return trips to China after significant improvement from initial stem cell treatments.

The program often brings patients visible progress, and at a much quicker pace than rehabilitation without stem cells that international patients normally experience in their home countries, where few options exist.
"Patients are beginning to recognize the value of coming to Beijing several times to be treated with our stem cells," said Dr. Li Ke Wu, Director of Neurology at Tiantan Puhua Hospital. "For us healthy people, what seems like merely slight progress can be a significant breakthrough for sufferers of nerve disorders. Families are realizing that the time, pain and effort spent to make such gains could be greatly reduced through a long-term program of effective stem cell treatment in Beijing," Dr. Wu said.

In October of this year, the family of Australian Adrian Blazevic became the hospital's first patient to reserve a third stay in the normally fully-booked Stem Cell treatment facility at Tiantan Puhua. Adrian, who in 2004 fell from a 30 meter cliff while walking with friends, suffered extensive brain damage. Although cognitive, twenty-one year old Adrian can only communicate through his eyes, his laughter, and a few definable sounds that his family can recognize as 'yes' and 'no.' Based on the immediate gains made during Adrian's first treatment in late 2006, his family brought him back for another treatment in Autumn 2007, whereby Adrian clearly attained another level in his progress. His muscle strength increased and tension in his limbs decreased. His left leg became especially strong allowing his walking to improve. Adrian showed better eye contact and tracking, and had greater awareness of surroundings, more pitched vocal responses, and based on his facial expressions and sound, his emotional communications became sharper. More information and before and after videos of Adrian's treatments can be found at http://www.stemcellspuhua.com/s45.html
Adrian's mother, Mrs. Diana Blazevic said, "Each time we come to Beijing Adrian amazes me with his quick improvement right after the stem cell injection. We are really happy we came back."
