Stem Cell Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease

What happens in Alzheimer’s Disease?
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), nerve cells throughout the brain are injured and destroyed. As the connections between nerve cells break down, regions of the brain begin to shrink, causing memory loss and cognitive decline.

 

How stem cells help prevent nerve cells from deteriorating
Neurological disorders include a broad range of conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. Before the advent of stem cell medicine, the progression of these diseases could not be slowed, and they were treated only symptomatically, using a whole spectrum of drugs. The damage that the neurons had sustained could not be fixed.

Fortunately, stem cells have since demonstrated remarkable healing properties in the body. Studies have now shown that stem cells can repair damaged neurons, reduce the inflammation that causes the symptoms of AD, and even regrow new nerve cells.

 

*Typical Treatment Protocol
A typical protocol consists of nebulizing 50 million cord tissue-derived MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells), combined with exosomes, where they can enter into the lungs and the brain. The exosomes contribute to the protocol due to their tiny size, which allows them to easily cross the blood-brain barrier. This procedure takes only a few minutes. For best results, this is accompanied by intravenous transplant of 100+ million MSCs. This procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. The protocol is minimally invasive to the patient and has very little downtime. Patients normally travel home two days following their scheduled appointment.

 

Treatment goals
Our protocol aims to reduce the overall levels of chronic low-grade inflammation in the body. The effects are expected to last for a very long time.

Stem cells are uniquely and intrinsically able to migrate to sites of damage and inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that stem cells are able to orchestrate the repair and regeneration of deteriorated tissues, as well as modulate the immune system, to promote better health.

The benefits of stem cell therapy can include a reduction in harmful symptoms, the slowing of the progression of the disease, and an overall increase in quality of life.

 

*Treatment protocols are individualized for each patient according to a variety of factors, including overall patient health, condition, and severity. A protocol optimized for your particular situation will be developed in consultation with a stem cell physician and a review of your medical records.
