While there, stem cells were harvested from Maggie's body, treated and stored.  Her immune system was treated with Chemotherapy to kill it.  The treated stem cells were re introduced to then re start the immune system.  Maggie is doing well and has experienced improved, eye sight, mind set, writing ability and mobility. She is full of praise for those who raised the money and for the Indian Staff who treated her.
