In March 2024, the well-known international organization ParentsGuidetoCordBloodFoundation informed about a new clinical trial on the treatment of autism with umbilical cord blood stem cells in Romania, led by Dr. Felician Stăncioiu. Treatment within the framework of this project is available to children with autism from all over the world in Bucharest who have their own umbilical cord blood preserved.
Today, ParentsGuidetoCordBloodFoundation reports on two little patients who received their own umbilical cord blood as part of autism treatment. These are the boys Gabriel and Alex. You can listen to an interview with their parents on the ParentsGuidetoCordBloodFoundation website.
According to Gabriel’s father, before cell therapy, his son lived in his own world, was always distracted, and he was not concerned about his own safety. The child’s social behavior was inappropriate; and in the sense that he could speak inappropriately, be too aggressive and even cruel towards his younger siblings. But at the same time, Gabriel was good at numbers and mathematics. After Gabriel received autologous (own) umbilical cord blood therapy, the boy feels less agitated. He became better at communicating and interacting with his younger siblings.
In turn, Alex’s mother warns parents not to consider cell therapy for autism as a miracle cure. According to her: “We saw immediate results, I mean a transplant (autologous umbilical cord blood) alone will not cure your child of autism, there is no such thing…. but with treatment, the efforts of parents and therapists, day by day…the child learned much faster, more easily…there was a giant leap.” Alex’s mother says that on the second day after the infusion, Alex’s mother spoke on his own for the first time, and it was “the greatest joy in my life.”
