Margaret Thatcher Dies of a Stroke Medical Author: Benjamin Wedro, MD, FACEP, FAAEM Medical Editor: Charles Patrick Davis, MD, PhD To every life, an end must come and for the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, that end came because of stroke. She is not alone. Stroke is the number three cause of death, trailing only heart attack and cancer. Death can come quickly. With sufficient brain damage, whether due to a blocked artery or bleeding, swelling can put pressure on the automatic centers of the brain that control breathing and the heart and death is inevitable. But death can also occur later and much more slowly. The ability to swallow can be lost and the risk of aspirating saliva and food can cause pneumonia or a lung infection. The inability to move easily can cause blood clots that travel to the lung; skin can break down and cause major infection. Stroke is bad but there is potential salvation if the patient gets to medical care fast enough. The window to make the diagnosis and inject clot busting drugs is measured in minutes and many of those are lost because neither the patient nor the family recognizes the signs of a stroke, … Continue reading →

Health is life, and life is the promise of hopehope for today, hope for tomorrow, and hope for a better future. When illness strikes doubt is cast across that life. You can think of nothing else. You wonder, Why me? Why now? What can I do? Where can I turn for help? You ask questions to which there seem to be no answer. What you want more than anything is to have your health backto have your life back. How can you have life if you have a degenerative illness? Exciting innovations in medical science can answer that question today in a way that weve never been able to answer it before: stem cell therapies. Health deteriorates over time resulting in illness. Degenerative illnesses require regenerative cures. In stem cell therapies we find the regenerative treatments were looking for, opening new doors to health and happiness once thought closed due to a serious illness. Most of us have no idea that these stem cell therapies have been performed every day in foreign countries for years. They are not some far-off and distant dream; theyre happening now. If you are experiencing the effects of living with a serious illness, I want … Continue reading →

Treatment The Stem Cell treatment performed at our clinics is a painless medical procedure where Stem Cells (cellular building blocks) are usually administered intravenously and subcutaneously (under the skin). The whole procedure takes approximately one hour and has no known negative side effects.* Following the treatment, the Fetal Stem Cells will travel throughout the body, detecting damaged cells and tissue and attempts to restore them. The Fetal Stem Cells can also stimulate existing normal cells and tissues to operate at a higher level of function, boosting the bodys own repair mechanisms to aid in the healing process. These highly adaptive cells then remain in the body, continually locating and repairing any damage they encounter. As with any medical treatment, safety should be of the highest priority. The Stem Cells used in our treatment undergo extensive screening for possible infection and impurities. Utilizing tests more sophisticated than those regularly used in the United States for Stem Cell research and transplant. Our testing process ensures we use only the healthiest cells to enable the safest and most effective Fetal Stem Cell treatment possible. And, unlike other types of Stem Cells, there is no danger of the bodys rejection of Fetal Stem Cells … Continue reading →
