Stem Cells 1-On-1

We live in a miraculous age. The technology of the first 19 years of the 21st-century approaches that of the technology seen in the original Star Trek series or even the movie ‘Back to the Future’.

Medicine and health care are no different. The reality of our today is that humanity has enjoyed more advancements in healthcare in the first 19 years of the 21st century than the entire 20th century.

As technology continues to advance, it becomes more and more practical to merge damaged human tissue with synthetic devices like computer chips in our bodies in an effort to forestall the debilitating and deleterious effects of aging. Sound like science fiction? Science fiction is much closer to science fact than you think.

For over 15 years, medicine has been able to install computer chips in the brains of Parkinson’s patients in order to correct their debilitating disease. Children with deafness can get cochlear implant’s installed into their brains, allowing them to hear. Bionic limbs today have the potential to operate with greater efficiency, strength and ability than biological limbs, just like Steve Austin in the $6 million man.

However, if the idea of becoming a modern-day cyborg is not your cup of tea, have no fear. Medicine has something for you too. MSCs (formerly known as Mesenchymal Stem Cells and currently and correctly referred to as Medicinal Signaling Cells) are at the center of attention in the field of Regenerative Medicine. These MSCs along with essential bio-active molecules, such as growth factors, cytokines, collagens, Hyaluronic acid, miRNA (micro-RNA) and exosomes, and scaffolding have shown the potential to repair, renew and re-engineer almost any tissue or cell in the human body. 

When these MSCs were first introduced to the public, there was a moral and ethical dilemma with their sourcing. But that is not the case today since the most potent MSCs are now sourced from birth tissues such as placenta and umbilical cord tissue.

Today, the most innovative allografts have shown beneficial in the treatment of conditions such as arthritis, soft tissue injuries, neuropathies, eye conditions, chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, E.D. (erectile dysfunction) and some autoimmune conditions. Scientists agree that these MSCs and allografts are the future of medicine. 

People today, especially our elderly, suffer and are in pain. Their function is impaired, they have a limited range of motion and strength, they have balance and walking issues, lack endurance, and feel fatigued.

People’s pain and medical condition not only cost them thousands of dollars over the years to manage but more importantly, they miss out on many opportunities.

When we ask people: “If you wish you could do just one thing without your pain or medical condition, what would it be?” the answers include: walking without pain, walking without a cane or walker, walking the ...
