TREATMENTS
Umbilical Cord
Stem Cells -
StemCellRegenMed focuses
on the use of umbilical cord stem cells in the treatment of a wide variety
of disorders. The availability of umbilical cord blood makes this an
appropriate source for stem cells. All donors are carefully screened
to rule out HIV, Hepatitis B and C and a variety of other contagious
conditions.
The stem cells are extracted
from the umbilical cord blood and placed into culture for several weeks.
During this time specific agents are added in the culture which will
direct the stem cells to become early differentiated heart stem cells;
pancreas stem cells that secrete insulin(for diabetes); pulmonary(lung)
stem cells; kidney stem cells; neuron stem cells(for Parkinsonism, Alzheimer’s,
Autism, Stroke, Brain Damage, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis);
muscle stem cells; hematopoietic stem cells(for blood diseases).
These types of stem cells
may also be incorporated and mixed with immunological cells such as
T lymphocytes, T regulatory cells, T cytotoxic cells, Natural killer
cells, anti-cytokines, anti-interleukins to treat autoimmune disorders
such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma and Crohn’s disease.
Adult Stem Cells
-
Adult stem cells are in
every organ of our body; heart, brain, lung, kidney, pancreas, spinal
cord, eyes, gastrointestinal tract. They are essential in repair of
injured and diseased tissues. However, in various injuries and disease
the extent of the problem is overwhelming and insufficient numbers of
adult stem cells cannot correct the problem.
A new form of treatment
that StemCellRegenMed now offers is that of administration of the patient’s
own stem cells back into their body. The patient’s own blood sample
(or in some cases) a sample of their bone marrow is sent to our laboratory.
The laboratory extracts out adult stem cells from this sample. Approximately
a week later these are then sent back to the patient’s physician
for administration. Patients may also have this done procedure done
at one of our treatment centers in California or Florida.
The procedure is safe since
it involves the use of the patient’s own stem cells so that there
is no problem with engraftment or rejection. Patients can be evaluated
in the U.S.A. but currently patients receive treatments at our centers
in Mexico and South America.
