Watch The Video And Discover How Stem Cell Treatment Is Transforming The Lives Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Sufferers

What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Your immune system functions to protect your body from infection and disease by attacking and neutralizing invaders. In an autoimmune disease, the immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one such autoimmune disease. In RA, the overactive immune system causes chronic inflammation (painful swelling) in affected parts of the body, which eventually leads to damage. RA mainly affects the joints, and usually multiple joints at once.

Can Stem Cells help with rheumatoid arthritis?
Studies have shown than mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have strong anti-inflammatory properties. MSCs naturally migrate to sites of inflammation in the body, where they suppress the out-of-control immune response. This helps bring down inflammation and alleviate the painful symptoms of RA. Amazingly, this anti-inflammatory effect is still seen for years after treatment.

In addition to regulating the immune system, MSCs also orchestrate healing. In RA patients, they can help repair and regenerate the tissue that was damaged from prolonged inflammation. In this way, stem cell therapy (especially with MSCs) can be a form of “body maintenance” for patients with RA: the treatment can keep inflammation at manageable levels and help regenerate any joint damage that is sustained.

Protocol
Our two-day protocol centers on the intrathecal transplant of stem cells: a minimum of 120 million cord tissue-derived MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) are injected intravenously. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, is minimally invasive, 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.

Depending on the ailment or the patient’s initial condition, 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.
