I have known Amanda for 5 year’s. My husband and I share a condo in Co. She is the most ‘beautiful’ person!! On the ‘inside’ as well as ‘outside’!
I am fortunate to say that we have developed ‘one of the most rewarding relationship’s that I shall ever experience in my lifetime!
My husband say’s…”That if you would read this article” you trully couldn’t have a “CLUE”–what it feels like to wittness a “Miracle” and many more…in your life time.
All I can say, Amanda–certainly thought she had nothing! to LOSE, but what has transpired within her ‘whole’ being…is nothing short of a miracle!!! We have witnssed…..AMANDA BOXTEL….!

Amanda is one of the most inspirational person I have met. Her personal journey has opened doors for so many others and she brings light, love and hope into every being she encounters.

If you are having a bad day, take a moment and watch one of Amanda’s videos, you will quickly forget your sorrows and realize how much you already have and how much this young woman has had to regain.

Support Amanda and the others from our area who are seeing great results from this research. Support and speak out LOUDLY to our government to change our healthcare system so that treatments can be offered here in our own country.

Help make a difference. Follow a leader.
Follow Amanda
xoxo

My History, My Story

On February 27, 1992 at the age of 24 I sustained a complete spinal cord injury at T11/12 (that is, no feeling or sensation at thoracic vertebra 11 & 12). I am able to recall the accident vividly in my mind's eye to this very day. I was downhill skiing. Everything happened in slow motion. A freak somersault and in a split second I shattered four vertebrae. It was as though somebody turned off a light switch. An electric current zapped through my legs and in an instant there was nothing.

15 1/2 Years with No Changes…

I have always been an active woman. For 15 1/2 years I sort out various alternative healing therapies yet I showed no improvement. Early on I tried standing tall in leg braces, but my efforts proved fruitless, plus I had a couple of horrible falls. Sitting simply became more functional. In August 2000 I was the recipient of the Vocare Bladder Implant, which helped me void my bladder using electrical stimulation. For 15 1/2 years I kept my legs supple and alive with various alternative healing therapies, yet I showed no improvement. I was paralyzed with no sensation or movement from the top of my pubic bone down. While I arrived at a place of acceptance with my paralysis, I have always had an uncanny insight that one magical day my legs would support me. Secretly, I never gave up hope.

HOPE Restored!

While my spinal cord injury took away my ability to walk, it didn't take away my ability to dream. TODAY I am turning my dream into my reality one baby step at a time. On June 25, 2007 I was the first US Citizen to undergo Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Therapy with Dr. Geeta Shroff in Delhi, India. During my initial two month visit, I not only witnessed astounding improvements in my own body, but with many patients who have life restored within their bodies and a newfound reason to not give up but LIVE!

New Sensations, New Muscle Power–I Am Defying the Odds!

I am compelled to share my experiences with the world. Since my first stem cell treatment in 2007, and after 15 1/2 years of being in a wheelchair I now have increased sensation with light touch and with deep sensation tingling all the way to my toes; my bladder and bowels are beginning to function again; and I have increased muscle power in my legs including gluteal muscles, quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors and abductors, and a flicker in my calf muscles too. Hope is now a part of my vocabulary!
