How do stem cells work?
Researchers have shown over the years that Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are one of the strongest anti-inflammatory tools available today and many patients are turning to stem cell therapy to meet their needs.
A protocol built for success
Type of stem cells administered
Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to:
1. Reduce inflammation
2. Modulate the immune system
3. Stimulate tissue regeneration
How stem cells reduce inflammation
The effect of the transplant is a return of the body to normal immune function and a drastic reduction in a patient’s inflammation markers. This anti-inflammatory effect can last for years at a time without the need for another transplant.
What this means for patients with autoimmune and degenerative diseases is a natural solution to their symptoms, a respite from discomfort, and an overall increase in quality of life. Additionally, not only will the body better be able to heal damaged tissue with the inflammation reduced, but the stem cells will also assist is more rapid healing within the body. It is for this reason that even healthy patients have turned to stem cell therapy as a form of “body maintenance” and to keep naturally occurring inflammation at manageable levels.
What is COPD?
Can stem cells help COPD?
Stem cells for COPD have the unique ability to change into any type of cell in the body, called ‘differentiation’. They can be administered intravenously and find damaged tissues around organs. When used in regards to COPD patients, stem cell therapy for COPD has the ability to repair damaged lung tissue to combat emphysema, and have natural anti-inflammatory properties which can clear airways for those with chronic bronchitis. While this treatment is still in the early stages of development, studies have already been completed to quantify the effects of stem cell therapy.
According to a report done by the Lung Institute called ‘Autologous Stem Cell Therapy and its Effects on COPD’, over 82% of patients that attempted stem cell treatment had noticeable improvements in their quality of life after their therapies. Many of these patients reported increased lung capacity and ability to walk following treatment. This positioned stem cells as one of the best viable options for current patients with COPD. While stem cell treatment for COPD has not shown the ability to cure the condition, its ability to repair damaged tissue and relatively invasive nature make it an attractive alternative to patients. This path becomes even more desirable when considering the current treatment protocols requiring use of ventilators or even total lung transplants, which are rare and extremely expensive.
What sort of results can patients expect?
We have been treating patients for over 15 years; the majority of our patients have reported increased quality of life. Their personal experiences and length of effects are different, due to a variety of biological factors. To quantify specific results, our protocol involves testing for certain inflammation markers prior to treatment, and then again at intervals following treatment. This data is used in conjunction with future prognosis to determine of the effects the treatment had on a patient's condition. This data is vital to the on-going research being conducted on the efficacy of Allogeneic Stem Cell Therapy.
