Summary

Susan Lucey traveled to Panama for stem cell treatment across two visits (the first in May), describing it as the "30 day MS Protocol," and was able to titrate down from 40mg to 5mg of Cortef shortly after her second visit; the account does not specify the stem cell type, cell count, or delivery route. Before treatment she had been fully bed- and home-bound for several years with unrelenting pain and was "slipping into dementia" from severe CFS, describing herself as "lost to myself." Afterward she reports regaining peristalsis after 13 years, no more falls, no more chest pain or ER visits, and improved cognition, energy, balance and memory. The account does not say whether these gains were sustained over the longer term or required any maintenance treatment.
