Summary:
"Julia Szabo's dog Sam collapsed from osteoarthritis. Researching how to restore his quality of life, she discovered Vet-Stem, a company that provides cutting-edge regeneration therapy for pets, using
stem
cells
harvested from animals' own tissue. Just hours after receiving IV and intra-joint injections, Sam began aging backward--which left Julia wondering why this simple, effective treatment was not available for humans. Julia suffered from chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and after witnessing Sam's astonishing recovery, she set out on a curious quest: to be treated like a dog by a doctor as competent as her vet! After a four-year wait, Julia became the first American to be successfully cured of a perirectal fistula with
stem
cells
derived from her own fat. With this amazing true story of how a pack of shelter dogs she rescued from death row came to save her life, Julia hopes to inspire and inform readers about exciting healthcare options available to them and their cherished animal companions. "
"Thanks to her dog and his visionary vet, Julia became the first American to receive
stem
cells
to heal her IBD."
