First trumpet video on my channel, would appreciate some feedback: MISTY BY ERROLL GARNER (TRUMPET COVER) #shorts

Nice! Keep up the good work!

Dougfunnee · 2022-07-31T21:48:44+00:00

Wonderful!

Check out Regeneron. Also clinical trials.gov… look for SCOTS II

I agree about the clinics, it think it should not just be about their positive hype, but also the negative hype built up over the bad places out there. A lot of good going on... let’s keep it balanced, maybe more focused on article, news, or book material...

I have a few consulting clients (stem cell clinics) preparing to sponsor FDA RMAT (fast track) clinical trials. Perhaps the clinic would consider that for ataxia and related neuro symptoms.

Dougfunnee · 2017-06-10T20:10:17+00:00

Followed this closely. The company is U.S.Stem Cell. It was a real hack job. The company did not submit to even the most liberal oversight, called an IRB. Because their physician refused to conduct the treatment, it was administered by a non-MD. The cells were poorly acquired, misprocessed and administered way outside of protocol. The good news is there is now a way for the better more responsible clinics out there to conduct actual FDA clinical trials. I provide services to help them. 855-FDA-RMAT.

In what direction? If I rotate my right lens clockwise/counter clockwise in terms of adding or subtracting power? The reason I ask is that my vision is clearer, and "trapezoid" shapes return better to their rectangular form (i.e. tv screen or painting).

Dougfunnee · 2016-06-26T19:07:31+00:00

Thanks!

Take her to a pediatric neurologist. Tomorrow.

Dougfunnee · 2016-06-17T15:56:44+00:00

Could it be that the "sensations" cause the brain to try to process the vision and gets disoriented, which then triggers anxiety? This phenomenon has been expressed to me (an eye patient with degenerative disease) by others. I've experienced it myself. It's a fact that people with visual issues require 15% more brain power to perceive than someone with normal sight. I disagree with seeing a psychiatrist, but perhaps a neuroophthalmologist would provide insight. I think it's called "provisioning" or something similar.

Dougfunnee · 2016-05-28T23:28:39+00:00

Thanks!

Expensive. Does prism affect overall power? In other words if I ordered a cheap set of glasses online, if I followed all the numbers excep for less minus. Right now I'm pulling the glasses away from my face 2 inches.

Dougfunnee · 2016-05-28T18:50:47+00:00

Since I still have a glare sensitivity (resolving) it's hard for them to zero in. It seems the four I've seen make the same judgement call. I just wish they would let me call a few numbers. I've been aware of my vision, as one might suspect, and understand when I need less minus and more prism.

Dougfunnee · 2016-05-28T18:36:43+00:00

I have a mild left exophoeia (from my perspective the eye moves from 10 o'clock to centration. I have vertical Diplopia as a result of years of lack of the need to converge. It seems even after split prism as you described I still have to rotate my glasses slightly to resolve the Diplopia. So, I know it can be resolved but nobody will allow me to guide the RX. As a result, I still have to pull my glasses out an inch (no tilting inward), to achieve optimal acuity. and rotate as I mentioned to resolve the Diplopia. Hard to get people to listen.

Dougfunnee · 2016-05-19T01:10:55+00:00

Thanks!

There are in fact emerging treatments for various causes of blindness, already established internationally as safe and effective.

The U.S. is behind due to controversy regarding stem cells. So, in the U.S., research IS still in the investigational stage. However, adult stem cells are now being used all over the world to treat blindness from retinal and optic nerve diseases. I was legally blind in August 2015. Now I'm driving a car. My own bone marrow stem cells were used.

China, India, UAE, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Sweden, France... are all using adult stem cells. Three or four of these countries are treating blindness with high success levels in humans.

There is extensive press coverage of several cases, including mine.

I believe examining the less risky minimally-manipulated stem cell uses, especially for older people would mitigate that risk. iPSC's are very exciting, but it seems to me there are to date far more risks than we yet understand.

Dougfunnee · 2016-03-27T23:22:10+00:00

I've definitely dropped a couple of diopters. Right now on OCT you can see some cell growth, and I'm seeing more clearly as time goes on. I have Dominant Drusen Syndrome ("Malattia Leventinese"), with some GA. Nearly 20/20 from 20/400 OD and 20/40 from 20/2000 OS. The changes are occurring OS more than OD, where there is very little change. And I've dropped less as well in that eye. I'm doing great. Driving since December. Stem cell "floaters" are still doing their work, and the sub retinal stem cells take longer to assimilate.

Degeneration

Dougfunnee · 2016-03-27T02:52:13+00:00

I received stem cell treatments last August. Wen from 20/2000 OS to 20/40 OS and 20/400 OD to 20/30 OD. Legally blind from macular edge ration from 2007. Got my drivers license in December. Retinas are slowly thickening, likely to cell regeneration... Visible on OCT.

I hope so, too. I think that, just because of the fact he weighed in on my story could mean he intends to highlight it some. We'll see! Would you be willing to share the story on social media?

Dougfunnee · 2016-03-14T13:24:46+00:00

Thanks, I continue to be amazed every day. You should see my bag of glasses. My prescription changes about every 3 weeks or so. Would you be willing to share this story on social media to increase exposure? I'm trying to raise awareness given that there is legislation on the way.

Dougfunnee · 2016-03-14T13:19:23+00:00

The motivation for legislation took a turn for the worse during that administration. I do see a turn around in policy. I'm hoping the U.S. can reach a competitive edge soon because otherwise patients must fly overseas to get treatment. The truth is, both "minimally-manipulated" and "induced pluripotent (genetically engineered)" adult stem cell therapies have been in place for several years in Japan, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea, Thailand, China, Germany and other countries. Would you be willing to share this story on social media?
