This is a case report presented in a YouTube video describing a 7-year-old Indian girl with autism who first showed symptoms at about 2.5 years. She received an intravenous stem cell treatment (3 cc of “Chara core”) at the clinic and, at a nine-month follow-up, showed multiple functional improvements (toilet training, some speech, reduced mouthing, calmer social interaction, stair-climbing) reportedly greater than from a prior intrathecal autologous bone-marrow stem cell injection.

Questions this video answers

7 years old.

Approximately 2.5 years old.

Three cc (3 cc) of Chara core, given intravenously.

Nine months later.

An intrathecal injection of her own bone-marrow stem cells (autologous).

Chapters

7 year old Indian girl with autism. She first started showing symptoms at age 2 and a half just prior to the stem cell treatment at our clinic. She was non verbal, had lack of concentration with hand flapping and was always putting things. Her mouth had hyperactivity especially after sugar intake or being in a new place. During the first stem cell treatment she received a intravenous stem cell treatment. It was three cc's of Chara core and then she was brought in nine months later at that already off diapers completely. She was able to tell her parents that she needed to go potty so that was a huge improvement and she was also able to speak some words and no longer put things in her mouth all the time. She was also learning to interact with other kids and was calmer. She now can walk up the stairs on her own. So these changes were more profound than the changes her parents noticed from the intrathecal injection of her own bone marrow stem cells.
