help shawn get stemcell treatment
Donation protected
On April 25, 2014 Shawn Bernard’s life was changed forever. On his way to Saddle Lake, Alberta to do a performance and motivational speech, he passed through Edmonton and attended a talent show at IHuman Youth Society to show his support. Afterwards, he gave a ride to friends who were intoxicated. While driving, Shawn was brutally stabbed in the neck. Rushed to hospital, fading in and out of consciousness he was unaware of how critical his condition was. He is now a quadriplegic, unable to feel from the chest down with minimal use of arms and hands.

All patients with Spinal Cord Injury must submit a X-RAY OF THE LUMBAR AREA and a MRI of the lesion area before final approval for treatment. Before scheduling, please provide this information via email to [email redacted]or fax to 1-866-755-3951.

During the third and fourth weeks, 3 (IT) injections and 2 (IV) injections per week will be given.

PLEASE NOTE: Studies suggest that smoking adversely affect stem cells. For this reason, we recommend that all patients who receive stem cell therapy at the Stem Cell Institute refrain from smoking at least two weeks before treatment begins and at least 6 months following treatment. Safety is our primary concern, and all patients who undergo bone marrow extraction/mini-liposuction receive anesthesia, and are therefore REQUIRED to refrain from smoking for a period of two weeks before treatment begins. Smoking within this time frame will result in treatment postponement.

The cost for all medical, laboratory, stem cell procedures is $32,400 US dollars and includes ground transportation. Fees are subject to change for treatments scheduled more than 90 days after the date of this notice.
