We are one of Central America’s leading adult stem cell therapy centers. In close collaboration with universities and physicians world-wide, our comprehensive stem cell treatment protocols employ well-targeted combinations of allogeneic human umbilical cord stem cells, to treat the diseases listed below.
Cancer
Autism Spectrum
Multiple Sclerosis
Cerebral Palsy
Heart disorders
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Osteoarthritis
Autoimmune Diseases
Spinal Cord Injury
Where do these stem cells come from?
The Stem Cell Institute utilizes adult stem cells derived from:
- Human Umbilical Cord Tissue – a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).. Umbilical cord tissue-derived cells are best suited for tissue regeneration due to the tissue repairing function of the mesenchymal stem cells. They are also well-suited for immune system modulation and reducing inflammation.
How do stem cells work?
Essentially, stem cells are progenitor cells which are capable of regeneration and differentiation into a wide range of specialized cell types. Once injected, stem cells follow inflammatory signals from damaged tissues and have multiple ways of repairing these damaged areas.
Are there ethical issues involving these types of stem cell therapy?
Adult stem cells are not encompassed by the controversy surrounding fetal and embryonic stem cells. Both the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Church have issued papers which actually encourage research and the use of adult stem cells in the treatment of human disease, as an ethically acceptable alternative to the use of the ethically challenged fetal and embryonic stem cells.
How are the stem cells collected?
.
- Umbilical cord tissue collection – We receive cord donations from healthy women. Our donors sign a consent form, fill out a detailed questionnaire, and give a blood sample. The mothers’ blood and the cord blood undergo extensive testing for HIV, STD’s, hepatitis, etc.
Are umbilical cord tissue cells safe?
The body’s immune system is unable to recognize umbilical tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells as foreign and therefore they are not rejected. Our team have treated more than 1,000 patients with stem cells and there has never been a single instance rejection (graft vs. host disease).
Does smoking or drinking affect the therapy?
Alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking can both be detrimental to new progenitor stem cells. We do not accept people that smoke or drink alcohol.
How long will it take to see results?
Each treatment and patient is unique, and there is no guarantee of what results will be seen or how quickly they may be observed. Some patients have commented on changes during the course of their treatment, others have experienced improvement within 6 months of returning home. Some patients do not improve at all after treatment.
Are there any side effects?
Generally speaking, aside from the initial discomfort at the injection site, the patient will not experience any discomfort. patients have developed a minor fever, headache, nausea or vomiting. However , these side effects have never lasted than three days and usually resolve within 24 hours. No long term negative side effects have been reported.
Will my insurance cover the cost of treatment?
Insurance companies do not usually cover stem cell treatment.
Human umbilical cord tissue (HUCT) stem cells
Umbilical cord stem cells reside in the *umbilical cords of newborn babies. mesenchymal stem cells, like all post-natal cells, are “adult” stem cells.
The Stem Cell Institute utilizes cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells that are separated from the umbilical cord tissue. For certain indications, these cells are expanded into greater numbers at the laboratory under very strict, internationally recognized guidelines.
Among many other things, mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord tissue are known to help reduce inflammation, modulate the immune system and secrete factors that help the central nervous system to regenerate.
Because mesenchymal stem cells are less mature than other cells, the body’s immune system is unable to recognize them as foreign and therefore they are not rejected. We’ve treated hundreds of patients with umbilical cord stem cells and there has never been a single instance rejection (graft vs. host disease).mesenchymal stem cells also proliferate/differentiate more efficiently than “older” cells, such as those found in the bone marrow and therefore, they are considered to be more “potent”.
*All donated cords are the by-products of normal, healthy births. Each cord is carefully screened for sterility and infectious diseases under International Blood Bank standards.
Intravenous (IV)
The safest and simplest method for delivering the stem cell throughout the body. Anesthesia is not required but light anesthesia can be administered if necessary.
IV administration usually takes about 1 hour, there is no pain.
How do stem cells work?
Essentially, stem cells are progenitor cells which are capable of regeneration and differentiation into a wide range of specialized cell types. Once injected, stem cells follow inflammatory signals from damaged tissues and have multiple ways of repairing these damaged areas.
What is the cost?
For 10 ampules of stem cells which is the Rolls Royce of stem cells 75 million stem cells $7000 at our clinic.
