The power of stem cells. Two years ago, Carroll Knight was in a car accident where he suffered a spinal cord injury which caused paralysis from the neck down. He recently found Allure Medical where he received three doses of umbilical stem cells. Previously unable to walk and confined to his wheelchair, Carroll can now do eight laps of 185 feet over the course of an hour with the help of a walker. “They [physical therapists] put me in between the parallel bars and had me stand up and asked me not to touch anything and walk. It’s not pretty, but I can walk to the other end of the parallel bar without touching anything, turn around and go back to my wheelchair. I’ve done that five times without stopping.” When asked about how soon he began to feel the results of his stem cell treatments, Knight says he began having some sensation in his legs within 12 hours. He couldn’t believe it. After the third dose, I'm laying in bed and I'm feeling different parts of my body becoming very comfortable, and I'm thinking 'am I dreaming or is it really true that my body is getting better?'
