What is Stem Cells Therapy?
Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat or prevent disease. Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can develop into any type of cell in the body. They can be found in embryos, fetuses, and adults.
Therapies that use stem cells from embryos are called embryonic stem cell therapies. Therapies that use stem cells from adults are called adult stem cell therapies.
Why Use Stem Cells?
Stem cells have the potential to treat or prevent a wide range of diseases. They can be used to replace damaged or destroyed cells, tissue, and organs.
It has been found that more than 150 diseases may be treated with stem-cell therapy, including Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, stroke, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), non-healing ulcers on the feet (diabetic foot ulcers), blindness (retinitis pigmentosa), and blood diseases (hematopoietic cancers).
Stem cells can repair damage to organs and tissues with a lower risk of rejection when compared with organ transplants.
In addition, stem cell therapy may be considered for cosmetic or elective medical treatment where there is no evidence of a disease process.
Here at Stem Cells Transplant Institute, we offer many treatments with stem cells in order to help patients with a number of conditions, including Alzheimer’s Disease, autism, diabetes, osteoarthritis, COPD, and more.
Stem Cell Treatments Available in The Bahamas
Autism
Autism is a developmental disorder that affects the way a person communicates and interacts with others. It can also cause problems with behavior learning, and attention. There is no known cure for autism, but there are treatments that can help improve symptoms. One treatment that may be helpful for autistic patients is stem cell therapy.
Diabetes Type 1 and 2
Stem cells have been seen to be effective in treating diabetes Type 1 and 2. To provide a quick overview: In Type 1, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control blood sugar levels. In Type 2, the pancreas produces insulin, but the cells do not react or respond to it well.
The stem cell treatments are done by harvesting bone marrow from the donor’s pelvis or hipbone and extracting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Stem cells are used to treat patients with Diabetes Type 1 and 2 because they can become insulin-producing beta cells. These stem cell treatments have been shown to improve blood sugar levels and reduce the need for insulin therapy.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a condition that often affects the joints, especially those of the hands. It may also affect the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, or other joints. There are many different treatments for osteoarthritis that generally differ depending on the severity of your symptoms and whether you have osteoarthritis in more than one joint.
One treatment option for osteoarthritis is stem cell therapy. Stem cells have shown to be beneficial at helping repair damage to cartilage tissue. They can also help reduce inflammation and pain around the joint. This treatment has been used successfully in patients who do not wish to face surgery or are recovering from an operation, like hip replacement surgery.
Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that causes memory, thinking, and behavior problems. It is the most common form of dementia, a group of diseases that cause a decline in brain function. Alzheimer’s disease affects an estimated 5.7 million Americans and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there are treatments available that can help improve symptoms. One such treatment is stem cell therapy. Stem cells have been shown to help protect the brain from damage and promote the growth of new neurons. They may also help reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function.
COPD Disease
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease that gradually damages the lungs and airways. It can lead to serious health complications. COPD is the third leading cause of death in America, after heart disease and cancer.
There are several different treatments available for COPD, including stem cell therapy. Stem cells have been effective at fighting pulmonary inflammation and reducing lung tissue damage.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is a condition where a man has trouble getting or maintaining an erection. It usually affects older people, but it can happen to younger men as well. Erectile dysfunction can be caused by several things, including poor blood flow to the penis, injury to the spine or pelvic region, certain medications, and various health conditions. Some men may not notice any symptoms until they experience erectile dysfunction problems.
A common type of treatment for erectile dysfunction is stem cell treatment. Stem cells have been seen as a promising therapy for ED because they have shown their capacity to help increase blood flow, as well as other types of treatment that are commonly used. One such stem cell therapy is called testicular stem cell therapy. This therapy uses stem cells from the testicles to help improve blood flow and function.
Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the immune system causes damage to the myelin sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This slows down the messages to and from the brain, affecting muscle control, coordination, sensation, thinking and other basic functions.
Some treatments for MS include stem cell therapy. Stem cells have been shown to be able to help protect against MS by promoting new nerve cells. They may also reduce inflammation and prevent damage caused by MS.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the nervous system. It is a progressive disease, which means that it gets worse over time. Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include tremors, stiffness, and problems with movement.
There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but there are treatments available that can help improve symptoms. One such treatment is stem cell therapy. Stem cells have been seen to help protect the brain from damage and promote the growth of new neurons. They may also help reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints. It affects millions of Americans and cannot be cured. Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis includes stem cell therapy. Stem cells are effective at fighting pulmonary inflammation and reducing lung tissue damage.
Anti-Aging
As people get older, their cells start to age as well. This can lead to a number of problems, including a decrease in the function of the cells and an increase in the risk for disease. There is no cure for aging, but there are treatments available that can help slow down the process. One such treatment is stem cell therapy.
Stem cells are effective at fighting the effects of aging. They can help protect cells from damage and promote the growth of new cells. This can help improve the function of the cells and reduce the risk for disease.
Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a condition that causes nerve damage to the body. It can affect many different parts of the body, including the arms and legs. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and alcohol abuse can increase your risk for neuropathy. Neuropathy can cause pain, numbness, tingling or burning sensations, muscle weakness, or paralysis.
Several treatments exist for neuropathy, including stem cell therapy. Stem cells are effective at fighting neuropathic pain and reducing the number of medications needed to control symptoms from 30 percent with traditional treatments to just 10 percent with stem cell treatments.
Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of illness and death in the United States. Cardiovascular disease involves a set of health problems that can affect your heart, blood vessels, or circulation. There are treatments available for cardiovascular disease patients, including stem cell therapy.
Stem cells are effective at fighting the effects of cardiovascular disease. They may also help reduce plaque build-up in arteries and improve circulation by helping damaged hearts function better.
Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, is a condition in which the heart muscle is damaged. This damage can lead to a number of complications, including chest pain, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, and heart attack. There are many treatments available for those diagnosed with myocardial infarction, including stem cell therapy.
Stem cells have been shown to be effective at fighting the effects of myocardial infarction. They may help improve heart function and reduce the risk of complications.
Critical Limb Ischemia
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a condition in which the blood flow to the limbs is reduced or blocked. This can lead to pain, swelling, and ulcers on the skin. If left untreated, CLI can lead to gangrene and amputation. There are treatments available CLI patients, including stem cell therapy.
Stem cells have been shown to be effective at fighting the effects of CLI. They may help improve blood flow to the limbs.
Rotator Cuff
A rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help lift your arm. It can be injured or damaged, which can cause pain, weakness, and a limited range of motion. There are many treatments available for those diagnosed with rotator cuff injury, including stem cell therapy.
Stem cells have been shown to be effective at fighting the effects of rotator cuff injury. They may help improve muscle function and reduce the risk of complications.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is a condition where the discs between your vertebrae break down, causing pain and limited mobility. There are many treatments available for those diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, including stem cell therapy.
Stem cells have been shown to be effective at fighting degenerative disc disease. They may help reduce pain and improve mobility.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on the level and severity of the injury. They can include pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, paralysis, and incontinence. There are many treatments available for those diagnosed with a spinal cord injury, including stem cell therapy.
Stem cells have been shown to be effective at fighting the effects of spinal cord injuries. They may help improve function and reduce the risk of complications. Some stem cell treatments are even being used to help patients walk again.
ALS
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord nerve cells. This can lead to muscle weakness, paralysis, and death. There is no cure for ALS, but there are treatments available, including stem cell therapy.
