Stem Cell Therapy: The best Cure for Migraine Headaches

July 10, 2016

For many years, humans have struggled to maintain a healthy life. More than enough diseases most of which are lethal have led to an epidemic, causing thousands of deaths in a short period.

The good news is, with more than enough discoveries, there are now treatments for almost all diseases that in the past threatened human existence. There are also more than enough vaccinations that have helped reduce the effects of such diseases by reducing their chances of occurrence.

The bad news is, there are still a few fatal diseases that still threaten to take the lives of many. What happened is that new diseases came into existence replacing the ones that were considered fatal in the past. This has forced scientists to carry out a lot of experiments geared towards saving the whole world from such disease.

Currently, researchers have introduced something new, the stem cell. According to findings, stem cell therapy has helped deal with a lot of complications that include the chronic illnesses as well as fatal ailments. This therapy targets a variety of complications that include, lung surgery, Parkinson’s, diabetes, retinitis, ageing, hepatitis, injuries to the spinal cord and much more. It has also been realised that it works for migraine headaches.

How Does Stem Cell Therapy Works?

Stem cells are simply immature cells that are extracted from a woman’s placenta. What makes them unique is the fact that they can be differentiated into several types of cells. For the therapy to work, stem cells have to be injected into another human’s body. Unlike many other cells, there is no limit to the way they multiply.

As a result, they have the ability to reach their targeted destination that is always a particular organ in the human body. They can also renew themselves. When they reach the organ that they were intended for, they’ll secret growth factors that rely on blood cell to produce other new blood cells.

The main purpose of the new blood cells is to replace the old damaged blood cells that lead to several illnesses.  They’ll multiply until they reach a level required by the body. Unlike many other remedies, stem cells help cure chronic diseases without the need of surgeries that cause pain. Stem cell therapy has proven to be quite helpful in dealing with complications such as migraine headaches. It is also among the cheapest migraine headache treatment compared to any other available remedies for the disease.

Among the most experienced stem cell therapy specialists is, Mexico-based, Dr Gonzales. He has spent up to 20 years working on stem cell therapy and according to him, the success rate for the treatment is quite high. The therapy hasn’t yet penetrated into many other countries, and that is the reason you might not have heard of it.

However, if you are looking for one of the best places you can visit to get the treatment, then Mexico would be your number one choice simply because it is also cheaper to go there unlike going to many other places around the world.

Erectile Dysfunction diagnosis and treatment

March 23, 2016

All the necessary tests involved must be done

Erectile Dysfunction diagnosis

Erectile Dysfunction diagnosis the primary objective that needs to be ascertained before any meaningful treatment can be done. When done well all the frustrations will be eliminated

For any meaningful treatment solution to be arrived at there must be proper diagnosis of the problem. Therefore erectile dysfunction diagnosis becomes very important if treatment is to be effective. Without proper diagnosis we cannot purport to be making any head ways in finding lasting solutions to this problem. And owing to the health complications attached to erectile dysfunction, we are not going to take chances and that is why we are engaging the expert and professional opinions of doctor Dalal Akoury a medical professional who has been in this practice for several decades now. Together with her team of expert’s doctor Akoury reiterates that before any diagnosis is arrived at a comprehensive medical history and a physical examination must be carried out on the individual patient before any appropriate treatment recommendation can be administered. To ascertain this, the following are some of the tests that will be necessary to diagnose the underlying cause of you ED:

  • Blood tests to primarily check for anemia, diabetes, low hormone levels, liver or kidney disease and any other medical problems deemed necessary for the determination of ED treatment.
  • Tests to diagnose any underlying vascular disease.
  • Ultrasound to check blood flow to your penis. It involves using a wand-like device (transducer) held over the blood vessels that supply the penis.
  • Test for Endothelial Integrity – This test is sometimes done in combination with an Ultrasound to determine if there is an increase in the blood flow in response to the medication.

Erectile Dysfunction diagnosis and treatment: Different approaches for ED treatment

Drugs and Medical Treatments for ED – for a very long time Pharmacological methods have been used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction alongside the use of vasodilators. But even though these approaches have been popular in the past, it is important noting that just as each approach will have its weak point, vasodilators were only seen to be able only to induce a temporary response thereby causing it to be ineffective for many patients due to the underlying endothelial damage. Not to mention the fact that these medicine can have serious side-effects including heart attack, stroke and may even cause death. Nonetheless as time goes by and new technological inventions are being made, it is now emerging that besides the medical or surgical ways of ED treatment, we are today able to use the application of regenerative medicine as a new treatment approach. Under this approach stem cells from the individual’s patient born marrow or Platelet rich plasma (PRP) for one’s own blood are being used in the repair of the problem in a more painless way.

Erectile Dysfunction diagnosis and treatment: Adult Stem Cell Procedure for ED

The goodness of Stem cells is that they are found in every part of the body. Their function is to regenerate and repair cells in the human bodies by replacing all the damaged cells and repairing injured tissues along the way. Doctor Akoury is explaining that it is during the smartchoice procedure that the individual patient bone marrow stem cells alongside mesenchymal stem cells available in high concentrations in the fat are used primarily to rejuvenate, repair and to regenerate the penile tissues. During this process we will only use your own adult stem cells without adding any kind of medication. Now the good news about this procedure is that because your own bone marrow is used, fat and blood cells are only being used at the clinic thereby eliminating any risk of transmissible infections or instances where tissues are being rejected by your own body.

Adult (Autologous) Stem cells – Your Own Cells

Stem cells are naturally occurring cells in the body that help to create new cells in existing healthy tissues. They also help repair tissues that are injured or damaged. They are the basis for the specific cell types that make up each organ in the body. Stem cells are distinguished from other cells by a few important characteristics including:

  • They have the ability to self-renew and they have the ability to divide for a long period of time
  • Under appropriate conditions, they can differentiate into other specialized cells including heart cells, liver cells, bone cells, cartilage cells, nerve cells and other cells.

Erectile Dysfunction diagnosis and treatment: Bone Marrow Stem Cells

Bone marrow contains stem cells; primarily hematopoietic stem cells. Bone marrow is harvested from the hip (iliac crest) using local anesthetic and a specialized needle. It is important to understand that bone marrow harvesting for BMAC is vastly different from bone marrow harvesting for transfusion for cancer therapies. In bone marrow harvesting for transfusion, a hematologist, oncologist, or surgeon removes a very large amount of bone marrow. BMAC requires only a very small amount of bone marrow. Surprisingly, the procedure is not painful, takes under ten minutes, and causes only mild soreness afterward. It has an excellent safety profile.

Erectile Dysfunction diagnosis and treatment: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is an acronym for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is essentially blood without the red blood cells. Platelets are cells found in the blood that are essential for clot formation and wound healing. PRP, the mix of concentrated platelets and serum, contains factors that promote repair of tissues. PRP is injected into the targeted area for repair. And because they are packed with growth and healing factors, platelets initiate repair and attract the critical assistance of stem cells. PRP therapy’s natural healing process, by providing required growth factors, intensifies the body’s efforts to renew and rejuvenate your aging face. To create PRP therapy, a small sample of your blood is drawn (similar to a lab test sample) and placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds, separating the platelets from the other components. The concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into and around the point of injury, jump-starting and significantly strengthening the body’s natural healing signal.

Erectile dysfunction complications and solutions: What is Erectile Dysfunction or ED?

Erectile dysfunction complications

Being called impotent can be very embarrassing and that is why erectile dysfunction complications solutions must be found.

Being called impotent can be very embarrassing but the pain of living with that state of impotency is even much greater than just being embarrassed. Many may just feel this from a distance but the actual victims of this situation (erectile dysfunction complications) are the ones that understand the magnitude of the problem. Therefore what really is erectile dysfunction complications or ED as it is commonly known? Erectile dysfunction complications can therefore be defined as the state of being unable repeatedly to get an erection that is firm enough to sustain a sexual intercourse. Besides that erectile dysfunction or impotency can also be used to mean other complications that are likely to interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction including sexual urge and problems of orgasm and ejaculation.

According to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, any damage caused to the nerves, arteries, smooth muscles and fibrous tissues that are normally instigated as a result of a disease, is the most common cause of erectile penile dysfunction. It is important also to note that health conditions like diabetes, kidney problems, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, vascular disease and neurologic disease are the major culprits and accounts for about 70 percent of all known erectile dysfunction cases. And even though this condition can attack anybody, available statistics indicate that about 35% – 50% of men who are struggling with diabetes are most affected by this condition ED.

Erectile dysfunction complications and solutions: Causes of ED?

Before any action is taken to this problem, it is only reasonable that we get to the root cause of the problem. That way we will be addressing the problem from a very informed position and solution finding will not take long since we shall have already known the cause. According to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President and also the founder of the establishment, defects preventing an appropriate erectile tissue response are likely to interfere with one’s reproductive capability. Erection of the penis is a hemodynamic action that tissue of the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum. It is important to note that this tissue are very important and they consists of smooth muscle, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and nerves that interact in order to enhance and maintain an accessory blood supply causing erection. Given the need for the blood flow during this response, it is clear that vascular insufficiency can decrease erectile capability.

From the experts point of view it is believed that the vascular insufficiency is likely to be a common pathology of erectile dysfunction. And for that reason available statistics indicates that up to 80% of all cases of erectile dysfunction can be attributed insufficient or reduced blood flow which is also associated with some underlying vascular disease. Over the years and in a bid to finding lasting solution to this, a lot has been done including the use of pharmacological methods available for the treatment of erectile dysfunction including the use of vasodilators like Viagra and Cialis. Nonetheless the challenge with vasodilators is that they are only able to induce temporal responses and therefore may not be very effective for many patients due to the underlying endothelial damages. Besides that it is also important to note that these medications can also have serious side-effect including bringing health complications like heart attack, stroke and sometimes may even course premature death. Finally with those complications experts are of the opinion that the best treatment of erectile dysfunction complications can therefore be done using Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) procedures. These are effective in the sense that they address tissues defects or vascular disease aspects of erectile dysfunction. Therefore such applications are likely to provide much longer term therapy and may even provide a more permanent treatment solution to this problem.

Erectile dysfunction complications and solutions: The relationship between ED and Diabetes

Erectile dysfunction is significantly common in men who have diabetes which damages nerves and blood vessels. Erectile dysfunction can also be linked to other conditions common in men who have diabetes, such as high blood pressure and coronary artery disease. ED is three times more common in patients with diabetes mellitus. ED in diabetes strongly correlates with the level of glucose control, duration of disease and diabetic complications. Besides diabetes the following are also some of the possible reasons that may cause one to have erectile dysfunction:

  • Emotional or psychological causes including Depression, Stress, anxiety or other mental health conditions
  • Heart disease, High blood pressure, neurological disease
  • Low testosterone levels in men
  • Medications such as antidepressants, antihistamines and medications to treat high blood pressure, pain or prostate cancer.
  • Metabolic syndrome (a condition involving increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, body fat around the waist and high cholesterol
  • Obesity and chronic inflammation,
  • Parkinson’s disease, Multiple sclerosis disease
  • Peyronie’s disease (development of scar tissue)
  • Surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord
  • Tobacco; Alcoholism and misuse of other drug abuse

Finally we are going to continue exploring various treatment solutions in our next article and we want to encourage you to keep on the link and be the first to know. Doctor Akoury and her team of experts will be very helpful to us in understanding how PRP, Stem cell procedures work. This is one discussion you don’t want to miss. Therefore invite a friend and let us find solution to erectile dysfunction complications together. But in the meantime, if you have any concern about this problem, you can consult with doctor Dalal Akoury anytime any day for a one on one discussion.
