"We measure inflammation markers and telomere length both pre and post treatment. We also follow up with patients at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month mark intervals with vitality questionnaires. These are extremely important because they enable us to measure patient satisfaction in relation to treatment efficacy." - Louis A. Cona, MD
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. Patients normally experience an increase in mobility, feeling, balance, strength & energy along with a reduction in stress and pain levels.
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.
The stated primary goal of our protocol is the marked reduction in the levels of chronic low-grade inflammation for an extended period of time.
Stem cells have a unique, intrinsic property that attracts them to inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that stem cells can regenerate damaged or diseased tissues, reduce inflammation and modulate the immune system promoting better health and quality of life.
Depending on the primary ailment or initial condition of the patient, the effects of stem cell therapy can lead to a reduction in harmful symptoms, stabalization of condition and a significant quality of life improvement.

"Best clinic for stem cell treatment in the world. The staff is highly skilled and Dr. Lou Cona is a pioneer in his field."
Although David Lyons was able to successfully fight Multiple Sclerosis through a strict regimen of diet and exercise, he wanted to ensure he was doing everything he could to stay fit.
Multiple Sclerosis can be managed with treatment, but there is currently no cure for the disease. For that reason, David came to DVC Stem years ago to use the regenerative and anti-inflammatory attributes of stem cells to aid in his fight for fitness.
The positive results he experienced enabled David to stay strong in the gym, now into his 60s, and that is why he continues to support our clinic to this day.

"The treatment was absolutely amazing. Dr. Cona talked me through the whole procedure and kept me relaxed the entire time."
The first I noticed is my nails, and they are growing much much faster. The second thing was my skin; I started to see a healthier glow and quality. I also noticed that my arm hair is growing faster.
My receding hairline has dramatically improved. I am no longer self-conscious about my hair. Just these last few months, my hip and bicep feel dramatically better than before.
I feel better about myself, I have more energy, I am able to get up and go more often, and I can function on less sleep. I am confident to give it a thumbs up, stem cell therapy treatments really do work.

"If you are considering this treatment, then strongly consider DVC Stem."
My wife Jennifer just finished her treatment and wow were we impressed!
The facilities are very clean, the staff is extra friendly, professional, and willing to listen and answer questions. Dr. Cona was awesome as well, he truly believes in these treatments, and his confidence is comforting.
We have been to another stem cell clinic and the two major differences are the amount of cell you receive, and this clinic does viability (number of live cells) testing to verify the number of cells you are receiving.

First day: medical history, acupuncture, massage, formalities
Second day: Vitamin infusion, 300 million intravenous stem cells, acupuncture, massage, lunch
Third day: debriefing, 2-month pack of stem cell preservation supplements.
Friendly, clean, competent and professional staff. German-speaking friendly nurse Daniela, Dr. Cona is very competent, professional and friendly, you are in good hands here.
1 week post-treatment: Today the first physiotherapy after the stem cells already showed the first improvements, foot lifters, leg lifters, abductors work better, leg press + 15kg more, did not have to sit down and relax after the physiotherapy as usual for 15 minutes before I dragged myself to the car.

Condition: Crohn's Disease

Treatment Protocol: 300M Cord Tissue-Derived MSCs
"Dr. Cona and his staff were the answer to all of my prayers!"
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and had been gravely ill for 8 years with no relief until I found DVC Stem.
I received 300 million umbilical cord derived stem cells and the very next day I noticed a major improvement in many of my debilitating symptoms.
I’m a little over 3 months into this journey and have only continued to improve day to day.
I have been able to continue in my studies and cut medications in half. The experience at DVC Stem has been 5 stars from the very beginning. Every member of staff is happy and eager to please.
Case presentation: We report a case of a 25-year-old Caucasian American woman previously diagnosed as having Crohn’s Disease. She had been diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2011, and was also presenting adrenal and thyroid issues, as well as anemia related to gastrointestinal bleeding. She was treated with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell implantation protocol.
Case conclusions: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell implantations led to significant improvement in bowel movements, abdominal discomfort, and blood per rectum. The subject was able to cease steroid medications following treatment and note a sustained increase in quality of life.

"The cool thing about the Cayman Islands besides being beautiful, it was an opportunity to get some rest and relaxation allowing my body to heal and restore. I'm back in the US now and feel like I am ready to conquer the world."
3 months post-treatment:
"People are coming up to me saying I am moving, talking and smiling so much better.
They are noticing a lot of things that have improved over the course of 3 months.
This morning I was able to do things that I was unable to do before, I was able to stand up and lift my leg higher than I ever have before.
5 months post-treatment:
I'm able to smile better, I have more control over the left side of my face. I have an increased ability to grip, lift my legs higher and higher which has gone well."

Matthew was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2005. MS, typically characterized by damage throughout the brain and spinal cord can be detrimental towards strength, balance, coordination and mobility.
Matthew is an extremely optimistic patient, he is tracking his progress via video logs some of which we have included in his patient case study.

"From the moment I went into the clinic to receive stem cells I felt like I was with family. I have never met such sincere devoted medical people in my life."
"DVC Stem's team truly believe within your heart to want to do good for mankind. I felt so fortunate to have heard of them and be able to try them.
It was a gamble I was taking as I am handicapped with my breathing and I’ve always believed in life nothing ventured nothing gained. If I have a chance, I know that I have taken it with DVC stem and Louis Cona and his team.
I did quite a bit research before I left and I felt within my heart that this was my best chance to achieve a better life.
I want to thank them for everything that they have done and they given me a chance especially since I am a senior."

"Before stems he was using a walking stick and had a hard time just standing still without holding onto something to balance. Since stems, not only has he been walking without assistance, he is skimming the pool, shooting hoops, bending down and getting himself back up, and a lot of other small things he has not been able to do in a long time."
Fantastic experience at DVC! The entire staff was friendly and professional and the center was clean and well maintained. Dr. Cona was
knowledgeable and answered all our questions without hesitation. Frank and the others involved in the treatment process were well informed and were there for whatever we needed as well. Everything flowed nicely from start to finish.
For us, stem cells were actually a cheaper option than the Dr. recommended MS therapies that showed no promise of improvements, only the hope of halting the disease process in the current stage.
My husbands treatment was on 2/24/21. Since the very next day, we have seen improvements in gait, balance, energy and stress. These are all huge because gait and balance improvements are helping him to avoid falls. He had 5 falls in February and has had none since treatment.
Before stems he was using a walking stick and had a hard time just standing still without holding onto something to balance. Since stems, not only has he been walking without assistance, he is skimming the pool, shooting hoops, bending down and getting himself back up, and a lot of other small things he has not been able to do in a long time.
We're only a month out, so hoping to see even more improvements over the days and months ahead.

"What a professional group of personnel: from the lovely ladies at the front desk, to Dr. Cona who administered the 300 million stem cells introduced this morning! Everyone kept up with how I was feeling and my vital signs. I look forward to every day to see what improvement each day reveals due to the stem cells' activity!"

"Dr. Cona and his staff have been amazing throughout this process, I can never repay the people at DVC"
Dr. Cona, Frank and the entire staff truly care about what they do. Great facility!!!
I went to DVC six months ago for MS and have had fantastic results all starting within my first week after the infusion. All neuropathy is gone, spasticity 80%+ better, much more energy/endurance, much less fatigue/weakness, improved balance/coordination, and some improvement in bladder/bowel functions. The clinic is sterile; the staff professional and skilled. Personable Dr. Cona knows what he is doing! Even though I still have MS and have had physical/stressful challenges since my treatment, I never lost anything that has been restored, and still feel the cells are continuing to work!
I am an experienced stem cell user as I’ve had them 3 times, first in the US and then in Panama and most recently at DVC.
DVC Stem in concert with Vitro Biopharma has provided me with the best experience and product.
You get to meet and talk directly with the knowledgeable Dr. Cona and the care and detailed follow up shows their commitment to meeting the needs of the patient.
