Stem cell procedures have helped many people manage their chronic conditions and ailments. The following list outlines the degenerative diseases and conditions that have responded positively to adult stem cell treatment:
One of the most common forms of dementia, Alzheimer's disease can be slowed down considerably with the use of stem cell procedures. Associated with the loss of nerve cells, stem cells taken from the bone marrow have shown to help patients restore normal brain functioning and memory.
In a healthy brain, there are over 100 billion nerve cells connected to extensions. With the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, information transfer at the synapses (the connection between the nerve cells and extensions) starts to break down, and the number of synapses decreases significantly. This results in the following symptoms characteristic of Alzheimer’s:
- Memory loss
- Difficulty completing normal tasks
- Difficulty with interpretation of visual information
- Reduced judgment
- Inability to speak or write
- Change in mood
Every 70 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer’s disease. While the cause is still unknown, most experts agree that is isn’t caused by a single factor, but rather multiple factors. However, one common factor is advancing age. An estimated 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, with nearly 97% of those over the age of 65.
Autologous Adult Adipose Stem Cell Treatment
There is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease. There are five drugs approved by the FDA that slow down symptoms for a temporary period of time. In addition, with approximately 90 experimental therapies available to help slow the progression of the disease, there is potential for treatments that can alter the course of the disease.
However, alternative treatment methods such as Adipose Stem Cell Treatment have been proven to improve the quality of life for many Alzheimer’s disease patients. Recent StemGenex patient Steve Discher had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 50. After receiving adipose-derived stem cell treatment, he regained his sense of humor and energy only after a few weeks. You can read his story here.
The path to a better quality of life is easier than you think. Affordable treatment options are available in the U.S. If you are interested in finding out more information about our stem cell procedures for Alzheimer’s disease, please contact us.
With the more than 100 known autoimmune diseases in existence, much research is being done to reduce the social and economic impact and find viable treatment options. According to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA), autoimmunity is the second leading cause of chronic illness.
Treatment of various lung conditions, including COPD, has shown measurable results. Studies indicate that a particular type of stem cell, mesenchymal stem cells, have the ability to suppress many of the immune system assailants such as macrophages that attack emphysema-ridden lung tissue. Not surprisingly, many people with COPD who have been treated with fat tissue derived stem cells have reported experiencing reductions in shortness of breath and reliance on supplemental oxygen.
Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States. Characterized by unusually high levels of sugar glucose in the bloodstream, it is responsible for much of the complications of the disease, including liver disease and stroke. Adult stem cells have been shown to be precursors to embryonic and islet stem cells that produce insulin.
Reversing the chronic effects of lupus have been showing promise through stem cell procedures. Using mesenchymal stem cells, organ function can be improved considerably, and patients have responded favorably over time.
A degenerative joint disease that affects the cartilage, stem cell procedures help regenerate the cartilage and develop new blood vessels, thereby improving function and lessening the pain.
Replacing the damaged or dead cells through stem cell procedures have been proven to help patients restore functioning. Neurotransplantation procedures inject stem cells into areas of the brain that require dopamine. Patients have shown marked improvement in muscle movement and functioning.
Adult stem cells injected into the joint areas are being shown to help restore normal functioning. Those who have received treatment for the repair and restoration of their joints are reporting not having to rely on medications for easing the pain.
Evidence is showing that stem cells can repair damage in the brain by the creation of new blood vessels and help reduce inflammation. This helps reduce the death of brain cells.
A degenerative disease that involves the deterioration of nerve cells, the procedure works by resetting the patient's immune system through the use of stem cells. This has helped those patients who don't respond to typical drug treatment.
Stem cell procedures may eliminate the need for joint replacement surgery. Fat-derived stem cell procedures are showing significant results with joint repair. Quality of life is improved through the significant reduction of pain, and the rebuilding of healthy tissues helps restore normal functioning in joint areas.
