July 2011 – View Video Below to see Jonathan’s amazing progress so far since treatment using his own adult stem cells.

26-year old Jonathan Dieleman has an easy smile and a tireless work ethic. Raised on a cattle farm in Smithers, B.C. Canada, Jonathan was dirt biking last year when he hit a rock and broke his back. Jonathan was diagnosed a T-5 paraplegic – he couldn’t move from the chest down.

3 months ago Jonathan travelled to China where his own stem cells were mixed with stem cells from a donated umbilical cord and injected in his body.  Immediately after, Jonathan says he gained more core strength and stability.

Jonathan moved to Victoria to train at a special gym called Path SCI.  Doctors in China were clear – recovery would only come with hard work. Jonathan exercises every day in the hopes that as the injected stem cells replaced the deadened ones – his brain to muscle communication is restored.

Last week for the first time since his spinal cord injury – Jonathan pedaled a stationary bike under his own steam.   Check out the video below to view Jonathan’s amazing progress so far.
