Top 5 Things to Know About Stem Cell Therapy
The human body is made up of billions of cells, all constantly changing, dying or being destroyed with new ones forming just as quickly. In addition, there are hundreds of types of cells, such as blood, brain, heart, liver, nerve, bone, etc. And then there are stem cells.
1. StemGenex Only Works With Physicians Who Use Adult Stem Cells
Stem cells are often divided into two different categories: embryonic and adult. Embryonic stem cells are extracted from embryos, a procedure that is surrounded by a lot of controversy. Therefore, it’s important to understand that StemGenex procedures only use adult stem cells. The source of adult stem cells comes from three places within the body:
- bone marrow
- peripheral blood
- fat tissue (also referred to as adipose tissue)
2. Stem Cells Are Different Than Other Cells in the Body
Stem cells are often described as ‘unspecialized,’ meaning they do not have a specific function in the body, unlike blood, brain, heart, bone and other types cells. Stem cells are also different in that they have the remarkable ability when they divide to either stay a stem cell or to develop into any one of the many different cell types in the body. Stem cells can regenerate and renew themselves or cells with specific roles. This function is why stem cells are seen as a built-in mechanism for the body to repair and rejuvenate itself.
3. Basics of Adult Stem Cell Therapy
Adult stem cell therapy is used to treat or improve many different diseases and conditions. Damaged tissues and organs affected by illness or injury have a chance of repairing and redeveloping with stem cell transplant.
Stem cell therapy begins with gathering the stem cells of a person through a variety of ways of extraction, often with minimal invasiveness. Once the cells are gathered they are put through a process that stimulates them and then replaced back into the person’s body. The extracted stimulated cells are reintroduced into places in the body where repair or renewal is needed. Because the stem cells all come from the same person (versus a donor person), there is no rejection of or infection with replacement nor any damage to natural cells.
4. Diseases Treated With Stem Cell Therapy
Adult Stem Cell Therapy can be used to treat many types of conditions caused by disease, degeneration and/or injury. Treatments offered through StemGenex can provide remarkable improvement when other traditional treatments have failed or had limited efficacy. StemGenex has observed success in the treatment of the following medical conditions:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Ataxia
- Diabetes Type I & II
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Autoimmune Diseases
- COPD
- Pulmonary Fibrosis
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Stroke
- Scleroderma
- Psoriasis
- Kidney Disease
- Joint Repair
5. Cosmetic Enhancement Using Adult Stem Cell Therapy
The StemGenex cellular technique is also used for anti-aging and cosmetic enhancements, such as face and hand rejuvenation, breast augmentation, and butt lifts. These procedures do not involve the use of drugs, only minimal manipulation of a person’s own fat (adipose) tissues. The procedures use liposuction to extract stem cells from fat tissues, then after activation those stem cells are injected in the same operative session into the desired area of the body.
Stem Cell Therapy can provide incredible improvement and benefit to a person whether for medical or aesthetic purposes. To find out more about what StemGenex can do for you, call us today at 1-800-609-7795 or fill out our contact form and one of our patient advocates will get back to you right away.
