Greetings – I am getting more information from/about two
different private facilities that do stem cell implants.
Both advertise on the internet. One is in Cologne, Germany
and the other is in the Caribbean.  While there are no
guarantees, both claim to have made dramatic improvements
in Parkinson’s patients.

Notwithstanding the prices they charge, I’m tempted to
spend a good deal of my limited savings on one of them. Why?

Because I am approaching desperation. I’ve had PD for 20+ years
(I’m now age 67) and my symptoms–mainly dystonia,
depression, and fatigue– are worsening day by day.

I happened across your web site.

Please tell me what you would do if you were in my shoes.

Many thanks,

George 

My short answer:

I would search for more information about stem cell implants. There are
many excellent options available now. My research reveals that
stem cell therapy usually offers welcome relief, but it is not
sustained over the long term. Continued treatments are required
over time to celebrate ongoing symptoms relief.

I would be highly suspect of anyone who promises a single
approach will do wonders for permanently relieving the
symptoms of Parkinson’s.  My understanding of Parkinsons causes
indicate that changes in life style and a multi-faceted
approach are necessary.

I have talked with many people in many countries who have found
ways to get relief from their symptoms. Some are happy with the
outcome. I have heard a few reports of individuals who were unhappy.
None of these therapies help everyone to be sure.

My guess is this: Stem cell implants can provide
temporary relief, but in most cases they do not appear to offer
long term relief. When symptoms are genuinely problematic I|
think stem cell implants can be a viable option to take seriously.
You need to jump start your recovery and get your life back even
if in the short term.

Causes of Parkinsons Symptoms

I have concluded from working with many people with Parkinson’s
and from interviewing many people with Parkinson’s that the causes fall
into a minimum of two categories: trauma/stress and toxins.

If you are carrying significant trauma in your tissues or holding
the effects of stress in your body, stem cell implants will not
succeed in releasing them. Other approaches are needed.
If you have an overload of toxins in your body, stem cell implants
will not necessarily help your body purge them. Other approaches are needed.

The other important issue I want to raise is the following:
Bu concluding your body needs a fresh batch of cells because the
existing cells are defective is a rather devastating statement
to the existing cells. You are saying to your body –

“You are not doing your job.”

Think of the feeling someone might have who has been fired
from their job despite the fact they are doing everything
right and putting in a 110% effort. The existing cells –
who I strongly believe have a consciousness – are certainly
going to wonder what is happening.

“Have I been fired without cause? Are replacements willing to be paid minimum wages being hired in my place?”

Your challenge is formidable to be sure. You have been
suffering from the symptoms for 20 years. You are not
feeling better and have good cause to be at your wits end.
It must be hard to find the motivation to do anything for yourself.

You might explore low cost ways to get a boast in energy so
you can begin feeling better. Some people find nutritional IV’s
are helpful (where you give your body an infusion of vitamins
and minerals it needs).

Eating fresh food each and every day helps. Juice with fresh
vegetables if you can. Nutritional approaches to recovery
have helped many people with troublesome
symptoms feel better. Finally, exercise every day will definitely help.

CELL THERAPY IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Blanca Elena Ramírez C. Ph. D

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects movement, muscle control and balance as well as numerous other functions, which occurs for the progressive death of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra of the brain.

The main consequence of this neuronal loss is a decrease in cerebral availability of dopamine in the caudate nucleus and putamen, where dopaminergic neurons projecting from the black susbstancia, leading to a dysfunction in the regulation of key brain structures involved in motion control basal ganglia.

The origin of this disease is multifactorial and is mainly due to four mechanisms:

• Oxidative stress
• Genetic predisposition
• Exposure to environmental toxins
• Accelerated aging

Parkinson’s disease is not a single disease, but it is multifactorial, and that hereditary risk factors and modifiable factors, such as the environment, pesticides, head injuries and snuff consumption.

Its histological feature is the presence of Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra along with a loss of dopaminergic neurons in excess of 80%, however the first symptoms appear when there is loss of half of the neurons in the substantia nigra.

The most effective medical treatment is oral administration of levodopa (L-3, 4 dihydroxyphenylalanine), a precursor that is converted into the catecholamine dopamine in the brain due to the dopaminergic nueronas Nitrergic that still survive in the substantia nigra.

Unlike dopamine, which does not cross the blood brain barrier, levodopa enters the basal ganglia, which is taken up by cells with the carrier for the neurotransmitter and once decarboxylated to dopamine, it becomes a neurotransmitter.

The levodopa induces a dramatic improvement and is especially effective when administered with carbidopa, which enhances its effectiveness in treating akinesia (loss of movement) and rigidity in early and intermediate stages of Parkinson’s disease, but long-term complications appear such as dyskinesias (involuntary movements) and on-off episodes, and the drug is not effective in advanced stages of the disease, because there are no dopaminergic neurons that convert levodopa into dopamine.

Neurogenesis declines with age and correlates with the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases, and there is no way to recover lost neurons except the stem cell therapy.

The stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of self-renewal and transformation into different specialized cell types. They can be obtained from various sources. The stem cells under certain conditions are able to self-renew for long periods and can remain in a pluripotent state until they receive a signal, in response to which they give rise to cells that are specialized.

The aim of cell therapy is to replace cells that have degenerated by other cells that can fill their role. The generation of new cells in the adult central nervous system is now not only one of the most important discoveries, but a path to prevention and treatment. Until just two decades ago, it was thought to be impossible to regenerate neurons. We have found that stem cells have the ability to regenerate missing neurons and repair damaged ones.

The cell lines that have successfully used adult stem cells for the treatment of Parkinsons disease are derived from an ectoderm lineage. This treatment is available in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, approved by the International Society of cell therapy with stem cells and regenerative medicine and anti-aging, and by the Medical Center of regenerative cell therapy and anti-aging medicine. This treatment is safe and effective, and because it has no side effects and does not generate rejection.

This treatment is based on the application of allogeneic stem cells in addition to other substances that induce neuronal growth. Each treatment involves the application of 5 intravenous injections at intervals of 4 to 7 days. Depending on each case, several cycles of 5 applications may be necessary, either continuous or intermittent, where you can leave a period of several months between them. Each injection is done on an outpatient basis without hospitalization.

The first treatment suggested the ectoderm lineage. The following treatments may be used from any one of three lineages: endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm.

In Puerto Vallarta this treatment is offered with a custom-made approach after clinical assessment by a multidisciplinary team of professionals in the field.
