Ji-Sui-Kang improved locomotor function, prevented further neural damage

Ji-Sui-Kang, also known as JSK, is an herbal medicinal treatment that has been used by traditional Chinese healers in one form or another for hundreds of years. The exact treatment varies somewhat, but key ingredients in the herbal concoction typically include Ginseng, Cinnamomi Cortex and Rhizoma.

There has long been anecdotal evidence of the effectiveness of JSK in treating spinal cord injuries, but until now it has not been backed up by rigorous scientific inquiry. In a recent study from the Hamilton NeuroRestorative Group at McMaster University, researchers administered JSK to rats for three weeks following spinal cord injury.

Compared to a control group of rats that received saline solution, the rats treated with JSK showed significantly reduced tissue damage, better preservation of neural cells and improved locomotor function. After only the first week of the experiment, the rats receiving JSK displayed better movement and greater coordination compared to the control rats.

I often wonder why these lawyer firms use these un-tested and unpublished herbal remedy articles to boost their business.

If you have suffered a spinal cord injury in an accident, or if a loved one has been hurt, talk to a lawyer today to learn more about your right to compensation.

Tks Grammy, for info.
As to the lawyer discussion, i advise it. In fact it is advisable to seek legal advise before signing a contract not after. As to lawyers it is advice and guidance he/she can give. it does not mean that anything they advise is a garantee to win your case too.
I am also skeptical about insurance companies to, they are a profit making business just like any other. while you will be seeking advice from a lawyer for compensation so will they be seeking legal advise how not to pay. Most insurance companies draw up their own agreements and conditions all one can do is sign it or lump it
Funny enough many lawyers often use the phrase the law is clear, Sigh if it was what the heck do we need lawyers for.

Ok now you know how i feel about our local lawyers and insurance companies

grammy, thanks for pointing that out, I can't believe I missed it! :uhoh: I've removed the links to the article and the firm name because it is clearly an advertisement. I can't believe they're using such sly techniques to advertise, it's misleading and sad!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. Spinal cord injury research is indeed my passion. I would have never known this community existed prior to 2005 when my son was injured. I'm on the Advocate Research Committee at Unite 2 Fight Paralysis. For me, it's all about educating and sharing information that is critical for our community to know. Every time my flight leaves the airport to attend a conference or tour the lab of a neurobiologist, I find myself grateful for meeting other patients in the rehab centers and hospitals whose faces remain so vivid in my mind. If I never live another day to see a high level injury patient breathing on a vent, or a gorgeous 16 year old girl sobbing while sitting in her wheelchair... I have to push on with setting up progressive research projects in the worlds best spinal cord injury labs. I have to encourage people to donate to these good labs and push the limits. I didn't chose this life, but it's the one I'm living and working in every day and I wouldn't change a thing. I haven't met a single person suffering the effects of paralysis that doesn't deserve a curative therapy. We should have had one long ago. I was devastated when the doctors told me they had nothing to help my son in the emergency room on that hot July evening. Other families should never have to endure what we have. For that reason, I'll never stand down and accept that something cannot be done to help future generations. We must and will succeed in putting an end to this.

Yes Grammy my thoughts exactly. for over two hundred years all one can offer us is a chair with wheels yet we invented the most sophisticated weapons to kill one another, dive the deepest oceans and set foot on the moon. On a positive note i do pray for an efficacy breakthrough even if tiny, this will open the floodgates in investment and research as everyone likes to back a potential winner.

Without people such as yourself grammy...nothing would change...you are making a difference and thats a truly amazing gift. Despite what you and your family have gone through, you still strive and push for change, a cure.

You are in an incredible position...and individuals with SCI ad their families will benefit from your commitment to the cause.
