Stem Cell Therapy Options

WorldMed Assist is pleased to offer Stem Cell Treatment options which are targeted to treat various medical conditions.  Stem Cell Treatment, not yet available in the United States, can be easily scheduled through our staff. Hospitals are located in Argentina, El Salvador, Mexico and Panama. Please note that we do not engage in embryonic stem cell treatments,  see section Stem cell therapy and religion.

Diseases treated with Stem Cell therapy include:

• Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes: type I, type II, Juvenile Diabetes
• Stem Cell Therapy for Congestive Heart Failure
• Stem Cell Therapy for COPD and lung disorders
• Stem Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis
• Stem Cell therapy for Stroke
• Stem Cell Therapy for Parkinson’s  Disease
• Stem Cell Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease

Many other conditions are treatable with the patient’s own stem cells. Your procedure, including travel to and from the destination hospital, is managed by registered nurses from beginning to conclusion, guaranteeing you the optimum experience. Although we cannot guarantee a successful outcome, we have subjected our stem cell doctors to an extensive review process.

Most importantly, we provide you with a personal touch from start to finish.

What is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a person’s own cells are removed, cleaned, separated, and introduced into damaged tissue in order to treat disease or injury. Many formerly untreatable diseases may now be treated with stem cells, which have the potential to self-renew, replacing diseased or damaged tissues. Adult stem cells have the ability to regenerate tissue, with minimal risk of rejection and side effects. Stem cell treatment has been performed around the world for the past 10 years with much research conducted regarding its usefulness. And, bone marrow transplant, a form of stem cell therapy, has been performed both in the US and world-wide for the last 30 years.

Stem cells are removed from the patient’s hip or iliac bone and then sent to the lab for cleaning and separation. Prepared stem cells are injected back into the patient via catheterization, intravenous line, or lumbar puncture in order to repair damaged cells at a specified location. Stem cell treatment is performed most often as an outpatient procedure, but is dependent on the condition receiving treatment.

Will I have to be treated more than once?

Current research in the area of Adult Stem Cells has demonstrated the continual healing and regenerating power of individual’s stem cells. Patients around the world have received more than one treatment as well as treatments to more than one body area. The need for additional treatments is very individualized.

What effects can I expect after treatment?

Although success cannot be guaranteed, many patients have found relief from symptoms after stem cell treatment for heart and lung conditions as well as types of Diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Stem Cell Therapy and Religion

Currently, there are no religious or ethical issues with adult stem cell therapy. These stem cells are derived from adults and not embryos, and, therefore, pose no moral issues. In the future, other sources of stem cells may include umbilical cord cells as well as placental cells, which also do not create any religious concerns. WorldMed Assist does not participate in embryonic stem cell therapy nor research due to the potential for abuse. As an organization, we choose to stay away from controversial matters so that we can focus on improving our patient’s health and wellness.
