Treatment by Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells are cells that are found in multi-cellular organisms, such as man. Research in stem cells started in the 1960s by Canadian scientists, Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till. Mammalian stem cells are classified according to two broad types. They are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into any of the specialized embryonic tissues. Adult stem cells are different from embryonic stem cells since they act as a repair system for the body. Recently, stem cell research has found the potential for treating a wide range of disorders using adult stem cell treatment. Some of the degenerative disorders that can be treated using stem cell treatment are diabetes mellitus, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. They are different from diseases like brain tumors since degenerative disorders cause the progressive deterioration of the body over time due to normal bodily wear or lifestyle choices. The most commonly used and studied method of stem cell treatment is the autologous adult stem cell therapy. The stem cell treatment usually involves the bone marrow, blood and skin. The most recently developed stem cell treatment involved the use of fat. The fat stem cell treatment used the patient’s owns fat cells in the treatment of the patient. The patented fat stem cell treatment was pioneered by a Filipino plastic surgeon, Dr. Florencio Q. Lucero. The method uses the patient’s fat cells, which is usually obtained from the abdomen, and reinvigorates it in a growth solution. The patient’s fat and peripheral blood is usually harvested from the body through liposuction, which usually takes an hour. After the liposuction, it takes three hours to incubate and stimulate the stem cells. When it is ready, it is later injected back into the patient’s body. The procedure, which involves stem cell treatment , has been known to be safe since the treatment only uses the patient’s stem cells. Since the stem cells used for the treatment are the patient’s own, there is no risk of rejection by the immune system. The surgeon performing the procedure already has over 25 years of experience in the medical field. Stem cell research is a new technology that offers treatment to a wide range of degenerative disorders. Medical tourism centers like WAHSA (Wellness and Health Services Asia Inc.) are fully equipped and trained for stem cell therapy and treatment.
