John Lawson Cullison Jr., an artist lost his ability to paint due to the effects of arthritis. This incurable condition is due to the degeneration in cartilage tissue and symptoms include: pain, tenderness in the joints, stiffness, loss of flexibility, bone spurs and severe swelling. Pain management and joint replacement surgery are the typical means to treating this condition.
RNL BIO, a South Korean adult stem cell therapy company, developed a method to take one’s own stem cells from fat tissue and make identical copies that have no genetic modifications and no cancer risks so that high doses of stem cells can be administered back into the body. The stem cells that come from fat tissue can easily form new tissues. Given that characteristic, the stem cells have the capacity to treat any tissue degenerative disease which includes, Parkinson’s Disease, Spinal Cord Injury, Renal Failure, among many. When Cullison heard of the treatment, he sent a small fat sample to RNL BIO, where the cells would be manufactured under the strictest safety and quality conditions.
A week after his injection, Cullison began to see small improvements and after two weeks, he no longer needed his cane to walk. He noticed that his joints were feeling better, his vision was improving to the point that his glasses were outdated, his eyes were getting bluer (eye pigmentation is often an indicator of good health) and his legs were getting stronger. “This is major improvement and it’s only been 2 weeks! Six months from now, I’ll be doing back-flips!” Only three weeks post treatment, Cullison reported that he was no longer taking any medication and back to painting his pictures.

Hi John, So glad you found something that works. I so wish I could get the stem cells. I have alot of health problems,too. I have been in contact with Cheryl since her return to Colorado,and am so happy for that.Take good care of yourself Blessings,

Sounds great, but please explain how injecting fat cells can improve function compromised by osteoarthritis (I too am an artist and fellow sufferer), when the joints have deteriorated owing to worn out CARTILAGE – a connective tissue!
I’m not looking to ridicule but to understand. I’m desperate but not ready to believe in magic – and magic at an enormous cost.
Thank you.

RNL Claims Stem Cell Treatment Relieved Arthritis
A press release from RNL BIO claims that their stem cell treatment helped an American artist with a severe case of arthritis. I would be skeptical, but I’ve seen dogs benefiting from this treatment, so maybe it works in some cases. Who knows? Still, it seems awfully fast that they came up with this treatment because it was just last January that RNL announced that they had cloned puppies using the nucleus from stem cells derived from fat tissues. Apparently they have been using this stem-cell-from-fat technique for a number of different things…?
One must note that one of the guys behind RNL is Lee Byeong-cheon, who does a lot of dog cloning at Seoul National University. He and Hwang Woo-suk used to work in the same lab, but Hwang was fired and now has his own enterprise going. I’m not quite sure who is in charge of the adult stem cell research at RNL; maybe I should ask.

If this for real? I’m an artist with Early Onset Osteoarthritis (in the finger joints) & would like to receive treatment. Hope URMC will need volunteers SOON for research studies…fingers are turning into hooks & I’m not even 40!!!
