Addressing cancer transplantation

Addressing cancer transplantation. It all begins with the elimination of substance abuse

Addressing cancer transplantation: Eliminating substance abuse

In case of malignancies, we are using patented methods of treatment with stem cells. These methods have proved their efficacy, have been approved by the Ministry of Health on April 20, 1999 and have been recommended for use in clinical practice. Transplantation of fetal stem cells is possible at all stages of oncological diseases like for instance:

Addressing cancer transplantation: At the initial stage of treatment

If surgery (tumor removal) cannot be started due to such complications as anemia, weakness, wasting, thrombocytopenia, depression, etc., transplantation of fetal stem cells prior to the tumor removal operation provides for the best preparation of the patient to surgery and best tolerability of the latter; it also accelerates the postoperative wound healing process, minimizes consequences and complications of anesthesia, and reduces the duration of the post-surgery rehabilitation period that allows for more rapid continuation of comprehensive treatment. In patients treated with the method of fetal stem cell transplantation prior to the operation, best tolerability of chemotherapy courses had been observed. Probability of metastatic process development diminishes as a result of increased anti-tumor immunity.

Addressing cancer transplantation: During the course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (irradiation)

In case of such complications as leukopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anemia, hepatitis, enteropathy, wasting, depression, alopecia, etc., transplantation of fetal stem cells promotes rapid (5 to 7 days) restoration of peripheral blood parameters after chemotherapy, improvement of the overall condition, and helps prevent complications. Transplantation of fetal stem cells provides an opportunity for carrying out more large-scale and intensive chemotherapy with a minimum risk without violating its timeframe.

Addressing cancer transplantation: After chemotherapy and radiotherapy (irradiation)

Transplantation of fetal stem cells is instrumental in restoring anti-tumor immunity and haemopoesis; it contributes to improvement of patient’s overall condition, decrease in weakness, as well as to improvement of their psycho-emotional status and quality of life.

Addressing cancer transplantation: Post-transplantation effects

Solid experience in cancer treatment allowed us to distinguish two stages in post-transplantation period that are different in time of development and clinical manifestations.

The first stage lasts for about one month and is characterized by emergence of early clinical symptoms that develop within a few hours after transplantation of fetal stem cells. We have described the early post-transplantation improvement syndrome: improvement in overall condition and appetite, decline in body temperature, diminishing weakness and sweating, restoration of self-care ability and increase in performance. This syndrome mostly occurs in patients with symptoms of severe intoxication and is often observed in patients with severe clinical course of the disease.

Also, a syndrome of psycho-functional changes is observed: reduction of somatic depression, improvement of emotional status, cognitive abilities, memory, and conative component.

The second stage of cell effect begins within one to two months after transplantation. It is related to reduced clinical manifestations of the disease and is characterized by stabilization of haemopoesis, improvement of the immunological profile, reduction of inflammatory effects, elevation of Karnovsky index, and improved quality of life.

Finally doctor Akoury reiterates that stem cell therapy contributes to formation of anti-tumor immunity; that can be used for preventing oncological diseases, as well as with the purpose of avoiding relapse and metastatic process. But even before we get there, most of the cancerous complications are as a result of substance abuse. This means that if we were to deal the prevention of substance abuse, cancer complications will be reduced greatly. Therefore as you consider taking the above treatment course, we also want to encourage you to talk to us about the major cause of cancer (drug addiction) so that we can fight the problem from all angles.

Are Stem Cells the Master Cells in Human Body?

July 18, 2016

Stem cells deserve the name master cells due to their ability to do what other cells in the human body can’t do that includes creating tissues as well as the organs. They help enhance immune system as well as the functionality of the blood. They are involved in ensuring that your body functions properly simply by regenerating themselves so that your body doesn’t run out of these vital components. Stem cells can be obtained from the umbilical cord, peripheral blood and lastly, bone marrow.

Several studies have shown that the cells derived from the umbilical cord are more effective than those found in both the peripheral blood as well as the human bone marrow simply because they are newer and younger. This is the main reason the proponent of this procedure prefers the young stem cells from the embryo. It is also easier to obtain the cells from the umbilical cord simply because they can be derived directly from the placenta as the woman gives birth. On the other hand, trying to obtain the cells from the bone marrow can be painful due to the surgical procedures involved.

Obtaining the stem cells from the umbilical cord has come with various benefits that include,

  • The best remedy for several diseases that include, heart problems, diabetes and much more.
  • The best cure for several illnesses that include fatal diseases such as anaemia, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and more.
  • Help relieve several complications that include Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

The stem cells can be stored in the patients and later obtained to save the donor or any other family member with a problem. For example, using the bone marrow requires that the tissue of both the recipient and the donor match for success. However, when for the ones that come from the umbilical cord, studies have shown that it might work despite the differences.

There are particular complications such as GVHD where the donor stem cells may sometimes attack and destroy the tissues of the recipient. This is unlikely to happen when cord blood is used. Studies show that the young patients that receive the umbilical cord blood transplant from a matched donor were 59% less likely to experience GVHD, which was quite promising compared to when bone marrow was used.

It is also rare to find the Umbilical cord that contains infectious substances such as viruses that can risk the transplant. Studies have proven that cord blood can produce more new blood cells compared to the bone marrow. As a result, smaller amounts of cord blood cells may work successfully for any transplantation.

As medical science advances, it has been realised that the cord blood may work for medicine’s regenerative processes. Expectant mothers can store the cord blood in a bank so as to make the stem cells readily available for treatments as well as future therapies that involved repair and regeneration of tissues. The cord blood might also save a situation where a child is born with several complications that might include, heart defects and much more. There are still more hopes for this kind of treatments and scientist are working so hard to figure out the potential in it.

protein powder weight loss

What You Need to Know about Using Protein Powder as Weight Loss Remedy

July 16, 2016

We all know why many people have a hard time losing weight. Simple, it is never an easy task. While other remedies such as exercising might prove convenient, it takes a lot of sweat and sacrifice to achieve the weight you dearly desire. The funny thing is, even when you try starving yourself, your body will be pushed to its limits and before you know it, you’ll be eating more than you used to. The good news is, you never have to sweat it especially when you have the right strategy. Protein powder is one of them, but you need to find what works. Here are some of the tips on how to choose a protein powder for weight loss.

Try Different Flavours

When you go out looking for a protein powder, you’ll come across a variety of flavours. You’ll come across the likes of vanilla, soy, orange, cake, lavender or chocolate. You’ll also come across protein powders whose production process differ. For example, isolated or hydrolysed proteins are expensive compared to others. But this shouldn’t be your problem. What matters most is its digestibility. If you are looking forward to using protein powder to lose weight, then you’ll need something that is easy to digest.

How is the concentration and values of calories in it?

You are using protein powder to lose weight, not to gain it. You don’t need a protein powder that will add calories to your intake. And that is why using whey products is never a good idea. Most whey products are never a 100% free of impurities and the values of calories in them are never clear. While they might appear to be cheap, it is never a guarantee that they give you what you want. However, when strengthened by essential minerals and vitamins, they might prove convenient for someone who is just starting.

The pros and cons

A good manufacturer will highlight both the pros and cons of using the product to help you as a buyer to make a wise decision. These is important because it can affect your weight loss strategy either negatively or positively. For example children and pregnant women are more often advised not to use such products for apparent reasons. This also applies to patients suffering from chronic ailments. The point is, the only way to ensure that you are using the right product is to know its benefits as well as its drawbacks. If the manufacturer isn’t willing to clarify on that, it would be better if you stay away from such products.

Conclusion

There is a low chance that you’ll use the protein powder you come across the first time for a long time. You’ll probably want to test several products to find what works for you best. It is, therefore, important to watch out for cheap products whose benefits and risks aren’t quite clear. If you are trying to lose weight without regrets, you’ll need to involve more research in finding what works. Go over user reviews, read lots of online articles written about it and most importantly, consult a health expert.

Stem cell therapy for Liver Injury restoration

July 15, 2016

For patients suffering liver failures, nothing has helped more than Allogeneic liver transplantation. Unfortunately, the number of liver donors who are more than willing to help is decreasing. It is, therefore important to find another alternative approach to the problem. Hepatocytes transplantation from an adult as well as the foetal liver isn’t quite of a choice simply because the kind of stem cells derived here are currently limited to the human liver.

There have been recent claims that the hepatocyte lineage cells sources have proven quite useful in cell therapy. There are claims that the bone marrow, as well as embryonic stem cells, have the ability to differentiate to form several multi-lineage cells that include hepatocytes found in vitro as well as video models.

Unfortunately, it has also been realised that application of the procedure that includes obtaining embryonic cells from the fertilised eggs in humans has some potential health hazards in several countries. Use of the cells from the human bone marrow is also discouraged due to a limited number of healthy and willing donors.

According to findings, the blood from the umbilical cord has some ability to produce cells needed for treatment of the liver injury. Use of the blood from umbilical cord will also apply to clinical procedures involved in the cell transplantation. Just like embryonic and bone marrow stem cells, this process will be used to treat several liver failures in humans.

The blood from the human umbilical cord is quite beneficial to cell transplantation procedures simply because the new cells, unlike the adult cells, are immature. The transplantation makes it easier to exploit their advantageous nature to derive a good number of fully functional hepatocytes or hepatic stem cells needed to suffice the increasing number of liver failure in people. Transplantation will also help suffice the limited number of healthy embryonic stem cell donors.

stem cell therapy

A larger scale of hepatic stem cell transplantation is needed to help reduce the number of liver injuries affecting many people around the world. Unfortunately, the source of these vital cells is proving deficient. There is, however, some hope that the ability of the immature cells to suffice the requirements for allogeneic liver transplantation will save the situation.

According to recent reports, the stem cells that are obtained from the blood of an umbilical cord can repopulate bone marrow. However, it is not clear whether the same cells can work as mature hepatocytes needed for treatment of the liver injury.

The bottom line

Liver failure results from some chronic hepatic complications that may lead to several pathogenic processes including fibrosis, inflammation and necrosis of hepatocyte. If not dealt with in time, liver failure may result in death. Stem cell therapy for liver injury has brought back the hope of addressing the problem. However, a few debates are revolving around the shortage of healthy donors which influences the need to come up with new therapeutic strategies. According to recent studies, stem cell therapy has proven to help improve the functionality if hepatocytes as well as reduce the effects of liver injury such as inflammation and the rest.  But this will only work if the limit of obtaining the stem cells needed for liver injury is eliminated.

Motor Neuron Cells for Mobility Restoration

July 14, 2016

Restoring mobility with motor neuron cells

Stem Cell therapy has proven to be quite a useful remedy for several diseases such as spinal cord injuries, spinal cord disc degeneration, joint complications and more. Stem cells can simply be called blank cells with the ability to develop into any cell depending on how a specialist decided to transplant them.

Several studies have been done to find out if it is safe for both animals and humans and the results have never disappointed. Despite numerous controversies around it, stem cell therapy still comes out as one of the most reliable remedies for treatments of several ailments. Recently researchers and medical experts came to an agreement that the stem cell is an acceptable procedure for human treatment.

Some research was conducted on a mouse to find out if stem cell therapy would repair and replace damaged motor neurones known to deactivate muscle functionality and there was a hope that the results of the mouse study could also work for humans in the coming five years.

It has been noticed that motor neurone disease and spinal cord injuries in most patients’ leads to the inability to move some of their body parts as a result of damaged motor neurones whose main purpose is to transmit signals from your brain to your muscles.

The researchers had to use an elaborate procedure to ensure that it worked. Motor neurones were removed from the embryo’s stem cell and were enhanced with a survival gene. Removal of motor neurones enabled the stem cells to connect smoothly to the muscles as well a light sensor that allowed control of muscle activation by the light sensors. Application of light in this process can be likened to electrical stimulation familiar with several therapies.

Researchers implanted the motor neurones into the mice that were injured and realised that it restored its mobility. While this doesn’t lead to a conclusion, the research seems more promising for future.

motor neurone cells

What is the Controversy?

Several debates have been going on around the topic, specifically the use of motor neurone cells to restore mobility. Today’s researchers use mesenchymal stem cells to carry out such procedures. The mesenchymal procedure involves removal of the cell from a patient and then re-implantation of the cell into another part of the same patient’s body. Use of embryonic cells, on the other hand, has led to controversies due to several reasons.

One of them is that mesenchymal has proven to be beneficial for many applications but not replacement and regeneration of motor neurone cells. According to the study above, you can see that the researchers used the embryonic stem cells to restore the motor neurones in mice. What makes this an issue is the fact that the stem cells are obtained from the human embryo that is often destroyed after the procedure.

What makes this a debate is the fact that destruction of a human embryo is a threat to human life. As a result, there are a few who think that the procedure isn’t a good idea.

In defence of this process, proponents point out that the type of embryo used in the stem cell procedures is the leftover of the Vitro fertilisation procedures. In this procedure, after a woman has achieved her desired goal, she decides the fate of the remaining embryos that often end up in such proceedings.
