Adult Stem Cells Provide Significant Promise for All in 21st Century (Internal Healthcare Like No Other)

Friday, December 27th, 2013

Dallas, TX — (SBWIRE). This week, Don Margolis of the Repair Stem Cell Institute in Texas issued the following statement.

In the past decade, international stem cell treatment has grown by leaps and bounds to the point where it is poised to become the most effective treatment for chronic conditions and diseases.  Currently, adult stem cell treatment is being used to help patients recover from over 150 debilitating chronic conditions previously thought to be untreatable, including the “Big Three” – Heart Disease, Diabetes, and Cancer.   To date, commercial stem cell treatments have been used by over 30,000 patients with a more than 65% success rate.  

Stem cells are unique, unspecialized cells in the body. Unlike other cells, they are able to differentiate into specialized cells for specific organs or develop into tissues. In some tissues, stem cells can regenerate to replace damaged cells. Specifically, adult stem cells maintain and repair organs and tissues throughout a person’s life.

Stem cell treatment is fast becoming the “go to,” state-of-the-art therapy for a wide range of diseases and chronic conditions (not just the “Big Three”) including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Renal Failure, Arthritis, Autism, and even breast enhancement. A full list of diseases stem cells can help can be found on the website of the Repair Stem Cell Institute, often called “The Voice of Stem Cell Science” – www.repairstemcells.org.

In addition, stem cell treatment dispenses with the potentially dangerous side effects of surgery, chemotherapy, and drug therapy. Many international stem cell treatment centers and their physicians meet the highest standards offering the safest and most effective treatments – in many cases much more successful than “traditional,” hospital treatments. Don reports “Stem cell success stories abound and signal a new era in achievement and hope for those suffering from conditions they thought to be untreatable.”

Here are Stem Cell Worx we are sharing the word about adult stem cell advancements. The video below provides a wonderful oversight of what is happening now and what is on the horizon. In this short 3 minute video, people talk about their own personal experiences, and remarkable repair and recovery after having adult stem cell treatments. Leading Healthcare Professionals also speak about what these incredible master cells (that reside in our own bodies) can do and how we are living in amazing times to be able to take advantage of biological advancements like no time ever before.  These treatments are fast becoming more accessible and what is remarkable is the age of the person when they receive their adult stem cell treatment, therapy or take their stem cell supplement is not proving to be a barrier in anyway.

Adult Stem Cells Reverse Heart Damage

In 2003, Melvin Walker lay  on an exam table of a Charlotte Hospital. He had suffered a massive heart attack that destroyed a large portion of tissue in his heart.

“I worked in concrete for about 23 years and started having heart attacks,” said Melvin.

Several years later, Melvin’s heart took additional beatings.

“And they’ve just been coming one right after the other.”

“I’m just lucky that I can feel them coming and I go to the hospital.”

So far Melvin has suffered four heart attacks and has had six stents put in place.

In patients like Melvin whose attacks are severe, the heart gets so scarred cardiac tissue no longer performs efficiently.

“After the procedure, it’s like turning the light switch on,” said Melvin.

“It all comes back. It took a little time, but it all comes back.”

Doctors with Novant Health are taking part of clinical trial designed to use adult stem cell therapy to help in the recovery of the heart muscle. This procedure would regenerate tissue that otherwise would be forever damaged and some patients are already seeing promising results.

“We do a cardiac MRI to measure the amount of heart damage. If it’s severe enough, we will then approach the patient and see if they want to be enrolled into the trial,”said Dr. Robert Iwaoka the Medical Director Novant Health Heart and Vascular Institute at the Charlotte Campus.

The procedure has to be done several days after a patient’s heart attack.

A one-time infusion of a patient’s own adult stem cells is pumped into the heart muscle that was recently damaged by a heart attack.

“These cells are infused to the damaged area of the heart,” said Dr. Iwaoka.

“The adult stem cells will hone into that area take up actual residence, stay in that area of damage and start recruiting other cells to help in the repair process.”

So far, the trial has proven to give heart attack victims a second chance in repairing their muscle.

For Melvin it has offered him relief.

“I was at the point of death and they helped me.”

Right now doctors are in phase 2 of the clinical trial. If it shows positive data, researchers will launch a phase 3 trial and push for FDA approval. Doctors say because the patient’s own stem cells are used, you avoid transplant rejection and it eliminates ethical issues.
