How do stem cells work?
Inflammation is prevalent in disorders ranging from heart disease and diabetes to Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. Treatment of these diseases, as well as many other common conditions, usually addresses the reduction of inflammation in the body. Whether through drugs, diet and lifestyle changes, or other natural methods, the goal is to eliminate as much inflammation from the body as possible.
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
Our treatment protocols are independently IRB reviewed by a medical board in the United States. This is to ensure our practices are safe and within good standing in the medical community.
Type of stem cells administered
DVC Stem uses cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells sourced from US-donated, full term human umbilical cords. We administer over 300 million cells that are all thoroughly tested for viability before treatment.
Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to:
1. Reduce inflammation
2. Modulate the immune system
3. Stimulate tissue regeneration

How stem cells reduce inflammation
Specifically, MSCs can inhibit the overproduction and use of T-cells in the body. This effect occurs without compromising the body’s natural immune system and leaving the patient vulnerable to disease.
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.

Why pursue stem cell therapy for kidney disease?
Kidney failure is a condition that affects over 660,000 Americans and leads to nearly 47,000 deaths each year. Although there are many causes of kidney failure, the current treatment is fairly similar. Patients often need weekly dialysis at the cost of approximately $80,000 annually while waiting in the lengthy list for a transplant. Fortunately, advances in stem cell science have led to some findings that show promise in the treatment of kidney failure.
How do stem cells help kidney disease?
The goal of scientists has been to find and supplement the cells in the kidneys that lead to organ regeneration. Harvard Stem Cell Institute researchers have recently identified certain mesenchymal cells, a type of stem cell, that plays a large role in kidney healing. These types of stem cells can be transplanted into the body to promote regeneration of damaged kidney tissue and reduce overall inflammation. Additionally, stem cells have already been used in conjunction with organ transplant to eliminate the need for a lifetime of immunosuppressant drugs. Patients, such as Rob Waddell, with a family history of polycystic kidney disease opted for a stem cell transplant to ensure long term success following his kidney transplant. He now lives a very active lifestyle, free of once necessary drugs
What sort of results can patients expect?
We only offer treatments for conditions that have medical research backing positive results and no harmful side effects. Dozens of studies have shown the efficacy of stem cell therapies for various degenerative diseases, and we have had great success from our past patients. However, it is impossible to guarantee any specific result for an individual, as every person’s body is different and will respond in different ways.
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.
