There's another patient who had advanced dementia and she had not been able to feed herself for a few months. Husband brought her in, was very worried because she would just look at the food and not pick up the knife and fork. She would not feed herself. But the day after the stem cell treatment, she had a plate of food in front of her because she was hungry and she picked up a knife and fork and it started feeding herself, start eating. And the husband was looking at her in amazement and she was looking up at him, basically said, you know, what's your problem? Like, she was like, you know, this is, you know, why are you staring at me? So I think that is the anti inflammatory effect in action. It can happen that fast. Imagine all the neurons, right, all the inflammation in the brain jamming the highway so signals cannot go through. All of a sudden, inflammation has calmed down the information the signals can actually get from one cell to another. All of a sudden everything's connecting and she can pick up the knife and fork.
