What is autism?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not just one condition, but a group of conditions which bring about complex and dire developmental disorders that may hinder proper brain development. The condition is usually identified in early childhood and parents will usually have the condition diagnosed before the child is three years old.
Unfortunately, autism has no cure but there are ways in which it can be managed. Early diagnosis and treatment go a long way in ensuring that the child enjoys a better quality of life. Statistics show us that autism is actually more common than we think, and the rate of children with autism seems to be increasing by the day. In fact, the number of children with autism has increased by 17 percent in recent years. This condition affects 2 million people in the U.S alone.
How stem cells help with autism
Multiple groundbreaking clinical trials conducted at universities in the United States have demonstrated conclusively that stem cells help improve the lives of children with autism. Specifically, stem cells help the brain with new blood vessel formation and cell-to-cell signaling and reprogramming. This results in more social interaction and expressing emotions not previously expressed.
In one groundbreaking study from Duke University, 180 children who received mesenchymal stem cells experienced behavioral changes that included being more emotional, more interactive, more facial expressions, and for one very happy mother, her child said the words “I love you, mommy” for the first time.

Treatment goals
The primary goal of our protocol is the marked reduction in the levels of chronic low-grade inflammation for an extended period of time, and improved emotional and social connections, by improving brain function, specifically, cell-to-cell communication.
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.
