We are starting fundraising again this weekend. and our goal is to be back (to Nova Cells) by this summer/fall
Ryan’s core strength is MIND BLOWING. She’s breathing so much better and eating all sorts of different foods. She is also writing her name and is able to stabilize her trunk and balance when in a crawling position and when standing. Her legs aren’t doing as much as we hoped, BUT she has gained so much strength in her core and in other places I never even thought of it helping her legs. I know for a fact we wouldn’t be where we are today without your help and the stem cells. Hopefully a 2nd round will do much more.
We love you guys and can’t wait to see you again.
GOD IS GOOD. Love you guys MUCHO!!!!

Honor Tinsley: Little girl with spina bifida gets feeling in parts of her body that were previously “dead”
FROM THE “WALL OF HONOR” FACEBOOK PAGE CREATED & MAINTAINED BY HONOR TINSLEY’S MUM:
Honor has gained feeling in her right leg in the thigh and hip area its coming and going but she has felt it multiple times when we are tickling her. She has also felt us tickling her toes off and on we are back home now and just thrilled about all the changes she is experiencing. She also is feeling so good and she’s so much stronger it seems her energy level has skyrocketed and you can just tell she isn’t feeling as much pain. It has been so amazing to be able to touch her places she previously didn’t even know existed on her body and watch her look around and cry trying to figure out where it’s coming from. She feels it! It’s a whole new world for her now. It’s scary for me at the same time, I know she has been living with a broken femur and has escaped the reality of that pain now she must continue to live with it yet may feel some of that pain. Its been amazing to see her be so happy and full of energy. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it…. God is soooo good. Thank you all for your support and kind words we are blessed to have such an amazing support system.

Ryan Neighbors News Release on “The Shine” (Europe’s largest spina bifida charity)
On Sunday an NCIM press release on little Ryan Neighbors appeared on 3 PR services (24-7 Press Releases, Fire PR in the UK, and Free Press Release) and in the handful of hours since has created a bit of a positive stir. For one thing, Europe’s largest spina bifida charity picked up on tweets of the press releases and ran them on their main website at http://paper.li/SHINEUKCharity/1319719408. Many parents of children with spina bifida also picked up on the news release as well and one, Kara Underwood, whose son Bryson benefitted from treatment by NCIM, had this to say about Nova Cells on Facebook (Sunday 9-29-2013):
Best place on the planet for all your stem cell needs! They have the most caring team of patient coordinators and doctors around! Love them all to pieces! They are helping so many have a better quality of life! I praise God for Nova Cells Institute!

February 2013 update on Spencer Tomc (spina bifida) by his Mum, Jennifer
On November 13, 2012, we had the privilege of heading back down to Nova Cells Institute in Mexico for another stem cell treatment for our son Spencer. He has been doing great since the last treatment and we wanted to keep up his progress and see more improvements. We were excited because this treatment would be new for Spencer in the sense he would be getting stem cell “Beacon (or homing) Factor” which was developed by NCIM’s chief biochemist, Abel Pena.
The day was perfect! We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and spent the morning by the pool basking in the sunshine and warmth. Abel and Grace picked us up at the hotel and it was like being reunited with family after more than a year. We made the trip to Tijuana in record time and got into the hospital where the doctors were waiting for Spencer’s arrival. Once we checked in, we were settled into our room and Spencer was taken to the OR (Operating Room) for his treatment. As usual, Abel was in the OR with him which helped him to relax.
Within 30 minutes or less, Spencer came back down and was taken to the recovery room. The MDs told us the procedure went well and he needed to lay flat for 30 minutes or so. Spencer was groggy and still wondering when he was going to get his treatment! We had to explain several times that his treatment was over and that he had received the stem cells. Within an hour, he was drinking juice and eating small bites of food (mostly Jell-O to feed the stem cells with some sugar). He generously gave his sherbet to his big brother and proceeded to play video games and watch movies.
By 4:30 pm we were able to get him dressed and ready to leave. Abel and Grace picked us back up and we headed out for dinner at a local restaurant. Following dinner, we visited a local shopping mall for a bit of Mexican atmosphere and treats, and then headed back across the border into the US. Everything went so smoothly – we know God was with us the entire time!
Since the procedure, we have seen so many changes in Spencer from growth spurts to more muscles firing. His legs are better aligned in his hips – specifically, the muscles in the right leg are firing evenly instead of pulling his right leg outward. He has started to bend his left knee and wiggles his toes more and it is much easier for him to get to his knees and maintain a kneeling position. He even told me last week that “he is wiggling his toes” when he usually says “my toes are wiggling”. The changes we see are new and exciting and seem to be happening with each and every passing day.
We thank God for the knowledge and caring hearts He’s given to Abel and Grace Pena and all the people connected with NCIM. We are also thankful that we’ve been able to take Spencer for two treatments and can’t wait to see what new things he’s going to do tomorrow and the day after!
Multiple Sclerosis: Three recent cases
Mr. J. R. is a 49-year-old Mexican national who has been struggling with Progressive Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis for six years, which was rapidly progressing prior to his coming to NCIM (January 2012).
He arrived at NCIM’s treatment facility unable to walk and with his speech so slurred only his family was able to understand him. He also had difficulty swallowing as well as being unable to move his tongue very well. According to NCIM co-administrator & patient care coordinator Mr. J. R.’s arms functioned normally but everything from the waist down plus his tongue and throat did not. He was treated with stem cells derived from three umbilical cords, Wharton’s Jelly, and his own bone marrow (primed using Nova Cell’s unique laboratory method) along with NCIM’s proprietary Beacon Factor.
Six weeks after his treatment Mr. J. R. was able to be understood even on the phone. He was so amazed and ecstatic with the improvement in his ability to communicate that he could not resist calling people to chat plus family and friends whom he often invited to him home to visit with him.
About three months following his treatment he was walking again, specifically taking a few steps at a time and climbing a few stairs — with assistance.
As of August (2012), Mr. J.R. can walk (slowly) without assistance and can also touch his palate with his tongue. He is hoping to be able to return to NCIM in January 2013 for another treatment.
Ms. Elisa is a 38-year-old lady diagnosed with Secondary-Progressive Multiple Sclerosis four years ago. Among the things she has been wrestling with:
- Poor balance
- Lots of pain in her legs
- Rigidity in her hands and one leg
- Migraines
- Unable to walk well (Alternates using a walker and wheelchair to get about)
- Severe depression
- Poor appetite with corresponding weight loss
Ms. Elisa was treated during December 2011 with primed stem cells from Wharton’s Jelly, cord blood and her own bone marrow, along with NCIM’s proprietary Beacon Factor.
About two months after her treatment Ms. Elisa noticed her migraine headaches were becoming less frequent. In addition, she was able to balance herself to the point of not being afraid to fall any more though she continues to use her walker to get about. The rigidity in the hand and leg on one side of body has diminished and the other leg is no longer rigid though there is some light twitching which she is managing with tonic water and quinine. Also, Ms. Elisa is eating better, has gained some weight, and though she feels sad she no longer feels controlled by depression (The severe bouts of depression have completely disappeared). She reports seeing no further disease progression.
Mr. M. S., the brother of a prominent Mexican politician, is not a Nova Cell’s patient but instead was treated by his primary care doctor in Mexico using stem cells processed and primed by NCIM. He has been struggling with multiple sclerosis for eight (8) years and complained of severe fatigue, blurred and double vision in one eye, problems with his bladder, constipation, lots of muscle spasticity plus loss of muscle strength.
He was treated in February 2012 and responded so amazingly well his family brought him back to Tijuana in the middle of June to get a booster treatment.
Among the benefits Mr. M.S. has reported: His spasticity is much better especially following his second treatment, his vision is improving and he is getting more control of his bladder. His family is taking him to physical therapy which has resulted in his gaining some physical strength. Perhaps most impressive of all to Mr. M. S. is the fact that his condition has stopped progressing.
Mr. M.S. anticipates seeing additional gains in the months to come and has pledged to report any and all changes to Nova Cell’s co-administrator and & patient care coordinator, Grace.
