11 year old autistic boy speaks his first full sentence after pioneering surgery

An 11-year-old autistic boy delivered his first sentence – just hours after benefiting from an innovative stem cell therapy.

The British Danny Bullen, who lives with his parents in Tenerife, asked to be fed the day after treatment.

His family now hopes his speech will develop soon after surgery in the United States, which followed a mbadive fundraising campaign.

Danny, the son of British writer Lee Bullen and Spanish professor Irma Guanche, went to Miami in March. We hope that he will come back later this year for follow-up treatment.

The day after treatment, Danny says to his mother on a picnic on the beach: "Lady mas dads, por favor", which means "Give me more chips, please."

It was his first full sentence.

But in the weeks following the therapy, Danny did not utter full sentences and his parents were told it could take several months to see real results.

Lee and Irma were thrilled to see their fundraising campaign surpbad the $ 10,000 mark – the equivalent of £ 8,600 – after only two months.

Australian family members organized an event that raised £ 2,150 and the Helping Hands in Tenerife children's charity donated £ 860.

Meanwhile, the Masonic Lodge Ave Fenix ​​in Los Cristianos gave Lee a check for £ 860 and the Blevins Franks Charitable Foundation donated £ 560.

The rest comes from individual donations on Danny's GoFundMe page entitled "Stem Cell Treatment for a Non-verbal Autistic Boy."

The young Danny, who needs the help of his family for basic duties, like going to the bathroom, follows a gluten-free and lactose-free diet to improve a number of autoimmune disorders.

With the help of specialized groups and online communities, her parents were informed of the fantastic results achieved with children with autism in the field of adult stem cell therapy.

Lee, who wrote a book on Danny's Disease Control, titled "Beset," said, "Doctors have introduced umbilical cord blood stem cells with bone marrow cells and adipose tissue from my son.

"He had his first treatment in March, and the first signs are very encouraging, he is more alert and has already begun to use some new basic words and greetings.

"Having stem cell therapy on two or three visits usually gives you better results. That's why we hope to take Danny to the United States at least twice.

"All symptoms related to ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) have completely disappeared in many young patients."

However, while early studies indicated promising prospects for stem cell therapy as a potential treatment for autism, scientists believe it is still in its infancy and further research is needed.

At the same time, a parent of an autistic child, preferring to remain anonymous, told CEN that she had only had "modest results" after her daughter had followed a cell therapy two years ago.

Last month, Danny's parents sent him to the Art and Science Surgicenter in Miami for a salary costing £ 11,425 and hope to travel again later this year for a £ 7,615 procedure.

Danny, who had been diagnosed with autism in 2010 when he was two years old, is entrusted to Dr. Omar Lopez, who has many years of experience in the treatment of stem cells.

To help cope with the costs, Danny's parents launched a crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe, in which they hope to raise £ 26,500 for both sessions and a portion of the travel and accommodation costs.
