What Is Stem Cell Treatment

You are well aware of the versatility of stem cells, how they surprised scientists with their potential. Scientists are researching on them; try to find treatments of several diseases through these stem cells.

Since these cells have the potential of differentiation, they can be used for treating disease of any type of body cell. Scientists are trying hard to treat birth defects, genetic defects etc.

Presently scientists are working on the treatments of some of the diseases:

Breast cancer
Testicular cancer
Ovarian cancer
Brain cancer
Retinoblastoma
Skin cancer
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Chronic myelogenous leukemia
Acute myelogenous leukemia
Juvenile myelogenous leukemia
Multiple myeloma
Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Lymph nodal cancer
Several solid tumors
Neuroblastoma
Ewing’s sarcoma
Myelodysplasia
Myelofibrosis
Buerger’s disease
Crohn’s disease
Myasthenia
Diabetes type 1
Juvenile arthritis
Alopecia universalis
Multiple sclerosis
Corneal generation
Myocardial infections
Parkinson’s disease
Stroke disease
Sickle cell anemia
Fanconi’s anemia
Spinal cord injury
Thalasemmia
Red cell aplasia
Skull bone replacement
Osteoporosis
Hurler’s syndrome
Liver cirrhosis
Alzheimer’s disease etc.

Even scientists are successful in treating some diseases such as blindness, diabetes, glaucoma etc.

There are numbers of people who really looking forward for the stem cell treatments. But they must have the right knowledge of stem cell treatment. For this you should gain more information regarding the stem cells treatment.

You may take help of internet for this purpose but remember sometimes its information either incomplete or misleading. It is not a medical prescription. So take your time and collect some good and solid information.

You may also take your doctor’s help. Stem cells treatment does not assure you full safety because sometime it may be risky.

Stem cells are used as a drug in some diseases but it has either bad effect or good effect because theses drugs contain living cells that make them different from other drugs.

These living cells may cause bad effect in your body and the worst thing is your doctor can’t stop it because they are living ,may go anywhere in your body, replicate or may increase its number unnecessarily.

Stem cell treatment may cause side effects in your body same as of other medicines. If any doctors are providing you stem cells treatment without any risk, so beware of them. They are fraud because there is always a chance of side effects in stem cell treatment. They mislead you if they do so.

Some people also think that only a branded or high level centre can provide them good stem cell treatment so let me know them they are totally wrong. Because some small or low level centers also well in stem cell treatment.

Don’t stick with versatility of stem cells because that doesn’t mean they are always curable. Some doctors tell their patient that only one type of stem cell can cure many diseases but wait that haven’t yet been proved. So don’t trap in these kinds of doctors. But Some stem cell treatment are really promising.

What is stem cell therapy

Prevention of diseases by the use of stem cells and replacement of damaged cells through the new stem cells is known as stem cell therapy. Stem cells are transplant in stem cells therapy.

You may hear about bone marrow transplant, it is also a type of stem cell therapy. In bone marrow transplantation stem are taken from umbilical cord blood. Presently, Stem cell therapy is going on diabetes, myocardium infections and other diseases.

Stem cell therapy is hotly debated for the extraction of embryonic stem cells, creating induced pluripotent cell and also for somatic cell nuclear transfer to create stem cells for treatment. China has approved stem cell therapy for such conditions that have banned in other countries.

Other countries criticized China for this decision. China has succeeded in treating Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disease through the stem cells therapy. Some institutes are focusing on treating neurodegenerative, heart disorders etc.

Skin stem cells therapy is used in burning situation by grafting the skin. But this grafting is only done for the patient who’s surviving with his life. Generally this stem cell therapy is not used for minimum burns because this stem cell therapy is quite risky.

A new stem cell therapy is introduced in which cells of cornea that damaged in chemical burns can be replaced with the new one. This new therapy has got approval in Europe. Currently only safe and effective stem cell therapies are running worldwide.

Many clinical trials are running for creating new techniques in stem cell therapy. However we are not sure how effective they are? Stem cell therapy is carried out by special clinics only. Some of the best stem cell therapy clinics in the world are as follows:

Beijing Puhua international hospital, china
Elisees international, Austria and Indonesia
MD stem cells, United states
Global stem cells, Bangkok Thailand
Em cell, Ukraine
New Zealand stem cell clinic, New Zealand
Stem cell institute, Panama
Okyanos heart institute, Bahamas
Stem genex, San Diego, California.
Stemedix,Inc – Florida, United states
Stem cells Thailand, Thailand
Regennex, Colorado and Cayman Islands

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is done by many approved hospitals .Always take approval of your doctor before going for stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapies are running out in many countries for treating genetic defects and also for replacing the damaging cell into new one.

Some of the therapies are successful with least side effects and some have high chances of side effects. But let’s imagine if these therapies really work as scientist’s aspiration then that would be a great approach for the medical science in treating some dangerous disease.

But it will take some time because it is difficult to discover something without any side effects. And also researchers are working on isolation of the embryonic stem cells without damaging an embryo. It will stop stem cell therapy controversy.

Does stem cell therapy work

Whenever we opt for any treatment we always see how effective it is? Is this really going to be work? Etc. Same with the stem cell therapy, if you are thinking or going for stem cell therapy you must know whether it works or not. Before going for such therapies you should assure its working.

Well, it is quiet difficult to answer that stem cell therapy really works or not. If any of the therapy is clinically trial by the scientists then we can conclude its working. Without clinical trial of stem cell we can not state its working. About 2600 clinical trials are taking place worldwide for the stem cells.

Amongst them 9 are on embryonic stem cells and 2591 are for adult stem cells. Some of the clinical trails are given below. Let’s take a look!

Clinical trails for myocardium infections

Dr. Hans Dohmann in the year 2002 went for the trail of bone marrow transplantation. He did bone marrow cells transplantation in 14 candidates from 21 candidates and the work was spectacular. They successfully accomplished the transplantations. The patients live more than five years.

So if you don’t want heart transplantation then you may go for stem cell transplantation in which bone marrow are transplant by replacing the damaging tissues.
In 2002 it is clinically proven that the result of stem cell therapy is awesome. People survive for more than five years as compared to the traditional heart transplant. Stem cells therapy has made a huge discovery for the myocardium disease.
In 2003, Dr. Andreas Zeiher has successfully reversed the effect of heart attack by timely transplantation of repairing stem cells in the patient’s body.
In 2004, Dr Amit Patel from Pittsburg also successful in his trail.
In 2004, Dr. Perin of Brazil got approval for his clinical trial.

Clinical trial for cerebral palsy: firstly I would like to tell you about cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is consequence of abnormal brain development. Due to this abnormal development a disorder is observed in muscle movement.

And now the trails are:

Some chemist of northwestern university formed two compounds that have very effective in cerebral palsy in pre- clinical trails.
In California a two year child received stem cells from his own cord blood has showed improvements in his condition.
Improvement is also seen in a toddler by transplanting stem cells.

Clinical trail for amputation: let me tell you about amputation. Removal of affected limb by a surgery when is known as amputation. This is generally done in condition when no other alternative are present. Limb is affected due to gangrene, frostbite, wounds etc.

Now the trials on amputation are:
- In Ramachandra University, Chennai Dr. k.S. Vijayaragavan and his colleges succeeded in treating the amputation in some patients by injecting their own bone marrow cells.
Clinical trial for stroke: In stroke blood supply is stop in any part of the brain which leads to destroy or damage many cells. Stroke may cause in anyone. Trials for stroke are:

A patient treated by the stem cells in stroke. Scientists observed improvements in his condition without any side effects. This shows that stem cell therapy is safe for stroke patients.
In university of Texas doctors injected stem cells in stroke patient that helps him in his recovery. Doctors believe that these stem cells do not differentiate into brain cells but they repair the damage cells.

I think with the above successful trials, you have reached to your conclusion. This will help you in choosing your side. But I must answer it YES! Stem cell therapy really works.

Stem cell therapy reviews

Due to the potential of stem cells, this therapy receives thousands of review from the patients worldwide. These reviews are from the people who take help of stem cell therapy. Different clinical centre get different reviews. Some of their reviews are mentioned below:

A 63 year old man thanked doctors for stem cell therapy conducting at Florida, Jacksonville. He has gone through the stem cell therapy for his right knee having meniscus tears.
Now he is able to go out for a walk without any expensive braces. Also the therapy was painless. He is tiotally trilled with the stem cell therapy and this was a good experience for him.
A 68 year old man had faced hip replacement along with the knees surgery. He have had to make many medications for that but doctor suggest him for knee replacement but he did not want to do this therefore he opted for SVF ( stromal vascular fraction) injections.

SVF is a segment of adipose tissue and rich in protein. SVF has a mononuclear cell lining that has stem cells. And the result was miraculous. Doctors had observed much improvement in his health.

Evangelist RV Brown, 68 years old had gone through stem cell therapy for his knees. He was feeling much better after it. He felt like he had new legs. And he believes that it will continue to get better.
Mrs. Rebecca Simms, Jacksonville, she had arthritis in both the knees. She was very pleased with the result. She is living a new life. In fact she suggested all her friends this stem cell therapy.
Mr. Wade Cantrell, Jacksonville, he had arthritis in his left knee. Doctor observed damaged in his knee but he did not want to replace it then he went through stem cell therapy.
Initially he had to face some painless treatment but after his second stem cell treatment, his pain had totally gone.
Mrs. Alice Hume, she had knee pain before the stem cell therapy but after that it disappeared totally. She used to walk out and love gardening.
Carole Tindell, he has multiple fractures but in stem cell therapy, cells are injected on the fracture points. After some time he noticed improvement. Pain was diminished totally within 16 months. Now he is boundless for his work.
