In the past, however, stem cells were difficult and very expensive to obtain. Luckily, the advent of improved equipment and techniques has meant that stem cells can now be acquired through a simple procedure. If the area in question has an insufficient blood supply, this is termed an area of hypoxia, otherwise known as low oxygen content. Hypoxia areas can include the rotator cuff, the joints, meniscus tissue, and other spots with tendon injuries. Typically, these areas are unable to heal properly without help, as the body does not send enough repair cells to the afflicted areas. The inadequate supply of blood in these areas means that the body fails to sense the injury. Fortunately, we are generally able to treat the area, if the injury isnt severe, with platelet-rich plasma. This works by effectively mimicking a blood supply, allowing the platelets to sense the injury … Continue reading →

New Stem Cell Disease Modelling Technique Revealed StemCells Inc. Approved for US Clinical Trial for Spinal Cord Injury Treatment Stem Cell Patent Approved for Cellular Dynamics Canada Opens First National Public Cord Blood Bank Stem cell treatment and stem cell therapy may be considered controversial and are, perhaps, viewed as akin to science fiction by some people. However, stem cell treatments have been used regularly in veterinary practice since 2003 for the repair of bone and tissue damage, and have a wealth of research highlighting their efficacy in both humans and other animals. Stem cells are found in plentiful supply in embryonic tissue, but are also found in adult tissues. These cells have the ability to self-renew, giving rise to countless generations of new cells with varying abilities to differentiate into specific cell types. By introducing stem cells into an area of damage or pathology, the body can be encouraged to repair and renew regardless of how old the trauma is. Stem cells also show application for inhibiting the death of cells (apoptosis) through disease, making them candidates for use in treating degenerative illnesses such as Lou Gehrigs disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons disease and Alzheimers. Stem cells from embryos are … Continue reading →

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a progressive, degenerative,[1]genetic disease with multiple types, each of which could be considered a disease in its own right. An estimated 150,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with Ataxia. SCA's are the largest group of this hereditary, progressive, degenerative and often fatal neurodegenerative disorder. There is no known effective treatment or cure. Ataxia can affect anyone of any age. It is caused by either a recessive or dominant gene. Many times people are not aware that they carry the ataxia gene until they have children who begin to show signs of having the disorder.[2] There have been up to 60 different types of SCA identified (most are found on autopsy) as there is no one test that can tell if an individual has SCA or what type it is. Many are misdiagnosed or go years without knowing the exact type. In 2008 there was a ataxia genetic blood test developed to test for 12 of these many types. This test for the most common hereditary types of Ataxia which include, Friedreich's ataxia, SCA 1,3,8 and a few more. However in the SCA group, with so many different types, most go with a diagnosis of … Continue reading →

The clinical staff at Beikes preferred hospital providers utilize three methods for injecting the stem cells: IV, Lumbar Puncture, and Local Injections. Different combinations of injections are used to treat different conditions. After reviewing your disease specifics and file, doctors recommend the combination that is best suited to treat your condition. Depending on the type of injection, patients will receive local, basal (through IV), epidural (through catheter), and/or general anesthesia. Six IV or spinal transplants over 30 days. Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells. 4-8 injections per treatment period. Your stem cell treatment potential is reinforced with intensive physical therapy, acupuncture, massage and electro-wave therapy. Michael Goz, treated in October 2008 for Idiopathic Cerebral Ataxia, recently spoke with Beikes Dr. Bing about his results, I thought I should tell you, 4 months after the treatment, I started getting another round of improvements. I can recover from a stumble, heel to shin exercise is improved, and the improvements I had initially (no more lassitude or dizziness, improved walking and talking) have remained. I still have the occasional bad day, but they are fewer and further between Follow this link: Procedure « ataxia treatment .com - ataxia … Continue reading →

Introduction Few experiences match the drama of a convulsive seizure. A person having a severe seizure may cry out, fall to the floor unconscious, twitch or move uncontrollably, drool, or even lose bladder control. Within minutes, the attack is over, and the person regains consciousness but is exhausted and dazed. This is the image most people have when they hear the word epilepsy. However, this type of seizure -- a generalized tonic-clonic seizure -- is only one kind of epilepsy. There are many other kinds, each with a different set of symptoms. Epilepsy was one of the first brain disorders to be described. It was mentioned in ancient Babylon more than 3,000 years ago. The strange behavior caused by some seizures has contributed through the ages to many superstitions and prejudices. The word epilepsy is derived from the Greek word for "attack." People once thought that those with epilepsy were being visited by demons or gods. However, in 400 B.C., the early physician Hippocrates suggested that epilepsy was a disorder of the brain -- and we now know that he was right. Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes signal … Continue reading →
