CALGARY - Gordie Howe has responded so well to stem cell treatment that his son Marty wants the Hockey Hall of Famer to undergo the procedure again. Tevin Coleman Jersey .Gordie suffered two strokes late last year and had maybe a month to live, Marty said, when his family took the 86-year-old to Mexico in December for the treatment.Gordie Howe can walk again, his speech is improving and hes gained weight that he lost, according to his son.He is doing so much better, Marty said Tuesday in Calgary. Its a joy to have him with us still.Hopefully, in my mind, were going to have another treatment of this probably within two months.Im actually hoping if he keeps doing what hes doing hell be able to travel again and maybe get to five or six events a year so people can see him another time.Gordie Howe, known as Mr. Hockey, holds NHL records for most games played (1,767) and seasons played (26). He won the Stanley Cup four times as a Detroit Red Wing and also played for the Hartford Whalers.His 801 career goals rank second only to Wayne Gretzkys 894.Gordie Howe and Gretzky are scheduled to appear Feb. 6 in Saskatoon at a dinner, which Marty said will be a trial run on how his father responds to travel.Marty Howe was in Calgary alongside NHL alumni Darryl Sittler, Marty McSorley and Lanny McDonald to promote a pro-am hockey tournament in Gordies name that raises money for Alzheimers and dementia research.The April 17-19 tournament is in its fifth year and has raised a total of $1.5 million, according to organizers. Gordie became involved with dementia research because his wife Colleen died in 2009 of Picks disease, which is a form of dementia.Gordie is now also affected by dementia, which Marty does not expect to change with stem cell treatment.He still has dementia, Marty said. Its not a cure, but it sure prolongs life and the quality of life that you have is greatly increased.Gordie is in Lubbock, Texas, with his daughter Cathy Purnell. What appeared to be a setback after his return from Mexico was caused by dehydration, said Marty.The biggest thing was his swallowing, he said. With dementia, your brain forgets how to do it. Thats where he was.He had lost so much weight. He was down to 175 pounds. The Gordie Howe that everyone is used to, he didnt look like Gordie Howe. He was starting to fade away.The family was contacted by Stemedica Cell Technologies in San Diego, Calif., about treating Gordie in a stem cell clinical trial. The treatment is not yet approved in the United States.The family made the difficult decision to fly their ailing father to San Diego and drive him to Mexico.We were told to have the hospice come in and take care of his meds and everything and just let him go peacefully and we just werent ready, Marty recalled. Every once in a while you could see in his eyes that there was something in there still that was Gordie that wanted to get out. We wanted to give him the chance.The family has described the treatment as neural stem cells injected into the spinal canal, as well as mesenchymal stem cells administered by intravenous infusion.Researchers caution that most stem cell therapies are experimental and have not been approved by government regulators in Canada or the U.S. The International Society for Stem Cell Research, a leading professional group, has issued a guide for patients and their families advising them to approach stem-cell therapy with extreme caution.Marty pointed out Tuesday the procedure involves adult, not embryonic, stem cells.As a longshot it seemed to us at the time, it was worth it, he said. We took him down there and the results were pretty unbelievable.He went from not being able to walk to getting the stem cell treatment and was able to walk that day, not very well mind you but he was moving his feet.Going back on the plane on the way back, he was able to walk on the plane to his seat. Its unbelievable. Deion Jones Jersey . - After sewage backups, toilet overflows and foul smells surfaced the past two years, nothing at the Oakland Coliseum surprises the home team anymore.

Parmelee hit a game-ending shot in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins overcame David Ortizs big night to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 on Tuesday.BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona was undone by Real Sociedads potent attack 3-1 to relinquish the provisional Spanish league lead to Real Madrid after it eased to a 3-0 win over Elche on Saturday. Barcelona coach Gerard Martino tried to reinforce his defence by playing with two holding midfielders in Sergio Busquets and Alex Song. But Song scored an own goal in the 32nd minute in the first of several defensive lapses that doomed the defending champions. Lionel Messi equalized in the 36th, but Antoine Griezmann restored the hosts advantage after an error by defender Marc Bartra in the 54th before setting up David Zurutuza in the 59th with Barcelona turned into bystanders. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid trail Madrid by three points. Atletico plays on Sunday. Gareth Bale scored from a blistering long-range strike to help Madrid win its third straight game without Cristiano Ronaldo, who was finishing a three-game suspension. Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi opened the scoring at the Santiago Bernabeu in the 34th. Bale then squashed Elches timid second-half surge with a blast from about 25 metres in the 72nd before substitute Isco Alarcon sealed the victory in the 81st. Bale was having a discreet outing until his superb strike to secure the three points that made Madrid the overnight pacesetters. The Wales winger received the ball unmarked outside the area, sized up the goal, and unleashed a dipping strike that goalkeeper Manuel Herrera barely grazed before it hit the underside of the bar and bounced in. "I said My goodness, what a goal when I saw the ball pass by," Madrid fullback Dani Carvajal said. Madrid will visit Schalke 04 on Wednesday in the Champions League final 16 enjoying an unbeaten streak of 26 games in all competitions. Madrid then plays at crosstown rival Atletico next weekend in a highly anticipated league meeting. Also, Celta Vigo fought back for a 1-1 draw at home against 10-man Getafe to leave the visitors winless in the last 10 rounds. Desmond Trufant Jersey. Martino was dismissed by the referee during halftime, and the Barcelona manager had to witness the rare sight of his team being thoroughly dismantled in the second half from the Anoeta Stadium stands as the festive home fans soaked up their big win. The victory moved Sociedad one point out of fourth place and Spains last Champions League spot as the Basque side deployed its best version of its up-tempo attack. Sociedad was unlucky not to widen the final margin when a disheartened Barcelona appeared to tire in the final minutes. Carlos Vela almost capped his outstanding performance in the 81st only for the ball to hit the post. Barcelona went into the match in San Sebastian after affirming its European credentials with a dominant win at Manchester City this week. But this stinging defeat confirmed the change in course in the league title race over the past two months, leaving Madrid in command and waiting to see if Atletico can keep up when it visits Osasuna on Sunday. Martinos move to start Song ended up backfiring when Gorka Elustondo muscled by him to meet Sergio Canales cross, which Elustondo appeared to graze with his head before it hit Song in the chest and landed in the net. Messi combined with Martin Montoya to level when Sergio Busquets craftily let Montoyas pass run between his legs for Messi to rifle it inside the upright of Claudio Bravos goal. It was Messis seventh goal in his last five games in all competitions and his 14th goal in league play despite missing over two months to injury. Sociedad, however, went back ahead to re-ignite its supporters when Bartra headed Bravos goalkick back toward his own area, where Vela was quick to pounce and crossed for Griezmann to volley the ball beyond Victor Valdes and record his 15th league goal. Griezmann then spotted Zurutuza arriving in a second wave, and the midfielder beat Valdes to the cross and knocked the ball in.
