Stem cell therapy for children with autism is carefully performed under sedation, ensuring a pain-free experience during the procedure. Since the child is sedated, they do not feel any discomfort or remember the procedure afterward. However, mild pain or tenderness may occur at the injection sites the following day. This discomfort is temporary and typically resolves on its own.
For parents seeking safe and effective treatments, stem cell therapy offers a compassionate approach tailored to their child's well-being.
Families can expect to return home the day after the procedure. This streamlined approach minimizes disruptions to daily life while ensuring a comfortable experience for both the child and their caregivers.
The therapy is conducted under strict sterile conditions to ensure the highest safety standards. Since it involves an injection, the risk of infection is minimal—comparable to that of a routine intramuscular injection. Parents can feel confident in the safety and care provided throughout the process.
Before stem cell therapy, routine blood tests are conducted to evaluate overall health and gather valuable insights for future therapeutic approaches. These tests typically include:
While these tests do not affect the procedure itself, they help in tailoring long-term care plans.
Heavy Metal Testing: This is optional and performed upon request. Results are available within three weeks, and a detoxification program with recommended products is provided if needed. However, this test is not mandatory for proceeding with the therapy.
In the case of autism spectrum disorder, stem cells are specifically chosen to address the signaling problems in the brain. The targeted stem cells begin to remodel and repair abnormal brain activity, helping to improve communication and behavior. This innovative therapy offers hope for addressing the root causes of autism by promoting healing and restoring function to the brain's neural pathways.
At the heart of this therapy is the belief that every child deserves a chance to thrive, and through this process, we aim to offer them the opportunity for a better, brighter future. Every step we take is dedicated to helping children unlock their full potential and lead more fulfilling lives, surrounded by the love and support of their families.
Day 1 & 2:
For the first two days, we administer a subcutaneous filgrastim injection to "awaken" or activate the stem cells that are currently in a dormant phase. This step prepares the body by stimulating the stem cells to be more responsive for the procedure.
Day 3:
On the third day, the actual stem cell procedure takes place. The child should not eat or drink anything after 12:00 midnight before the procedure. This is essential to ensure their safety during sedation. Sedation is performed by our experienced anaesthesiologist, who has over 15 years of experience working with autistic children. This is followed by an intramuscular injection that will make the child a little sleepy, ensuring their comfort throughout the procedure.
Once the child is sedated, the surgeon collects the cell cocktail within 10 to 15 minutes. An intravenous access is also established in the child's hand. During the collection, the child feels no pain and will not remember the procedure. Afterward, the child is allowed to rest in a recovery area while the cell processing begins.
Cell Processing:
The cell processing takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. Our professors, who have over 25 years of specialized experience, carefully separate the rare stem cell fractions that have the potential for high differentiation and repair capacity. These rare stem cells are critical for promoting healing, much like the way a single embryo cell develops into a fully formed human being.
Once the stem cells are obtained, our experts prepare the stem cell solutions for injection. We then invite the parent back to the procedure room, where the stem cells are injected. This step takes about 30 minutes, including the intravenous infusion.
Recovery and Aftercare:
In total, the procedure takes around 5 to 6 hours. During this time, we also provide detoxification products, nutritional supplements, and dietary recommendations to optimize the therapy’s effectiveness. Our autism consultant physician will provide information on what to expect after the procedure and guide the family through the rehabilitation process.
Once the child is fully awake and well, the family can return to their hotel or home. As the procedure uses the child’s own stem cells (autologous), there is no risk of allergic reactions. Mild discomfort due to injections is rare but may occur.
This carefully designed process aims to give your child the best possible opportunity for healing and improvement, while ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the journey.
The only expected side effects are mild nausea and dizziness, which may occur as a result of the sedation used during the procedure. These effects are typically temporary and resolve quickly as the sedation wears off.
We understand that as parents, you want only the best for your child, and that’s why we take every precaution to ensure their safety and comfort. This therapy is not just a treatment; it’s a step toward a brighter future for your child. We’re here to support you every step of the way, as we work together to unlock their fullest potential.
At our clinic, we are proud to share that 97% of families have reported positive feedback following the procedure. While this is a high success rate, the extent of improvement can vary based on several factors, including the severity of autism, the child's condition prior to treatment (such as screen dependency, family issues, and current rehabilitation status), and how closely the post-procedure guidelines are followed.
The timeline for seeing improvements can also vary. Some families may notice changes within a few weeks, while others may experience gradual improvements over several months. It is important to remember that progress depends on a combination of factors, including ongoing therapy and support.
While no two cases are identical, we are committed to providing personalized care and guidance to ensure the best possible outcome for your child. Our goal is always to help unlock their potential, one step at a time.
The collection is performed under sedation for the child’s comfort. A bone marrow biopsy needle is gently inserted into the child’s hip bone, and the cells are collected in about 10-15 minutes. During the procedure, the child is asleep and does not feel any pain or discomfort.
This careful and minimally invasive process ensures that we obtain the most effective stem cells to support the therapy and help facilitate the healing and repair of neural connections in the brain.
For detailed and accurate information regarding the costs of stem cell therapy and the available payment methods, our dedicated patient consultant will be happy to assist you. They will provide personalized information based on your child’s specific needs and guide you through the payment options that best suit your situation.
We understand that every family’s circumstances are unique, and our goal is to offer flexible and transparent solutions to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you and your child. Please feel free to reach out to us directly to discuss the details.
While some families may report positive changes as early as 1-2 months, we always recommend waiting at least 6 months before assessing the full effects of the therapy. In some cases, it may take up to 9 months to see robust and lasting improvements.
Our clinic’s stem cell injection therapy and unique protocol have been successfully implemented on many children around the world, helping them achieve better outcomes and a brighter future. We are here to support you every step of the way as you embark on this transformative journey with your child.
To date, our team has successfully treated 3257 cases involving autism, and they continue to make significant strides in the field. Our professors are not only leaders in stem cell research but also board members at reputable university hospitals, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of medical advancements in the field.
With such vast experience and a deep commitment to improving the lives of children with autism, our doctors are dedicated to delivering the best possible outcomes for your child.
For privacy reasons, we always request consent from parents before capturing video footage, taking photos, or sharing their messages. Some families are happy to share their stories, while others prefer to keep their experience private.
If we have received consent from a family who speaks your language, we can provide their contact number for you to reach out. Additionally, we offer interview videos of fathers and mothers, featuring subtitles in your language, so you can hear firsthand about their journeys and experiences with the therapy.
We are here to support you, and we want to make sure you have access to all the information you need as you explore this therapy for your child.
That being said, dietary recommendations can play a significant role in the child’s overall health, especially in children with autism. We often recommend a GAPS-based diet, which has been shown to have beneficial effects for many children with autism. In addition, vitamins such as Vitamin D and Omega-3 are commonly used and found to be helpful for children, both with and without autism spectrum disorder.
While some families may already be following these dietary practices and providing vitamins and minerals, it is not a requirement. Even if you have not applied any special diet or given vitamins before the procedure, our unique post-therapy protocol will ensure that your child receives the necessary support, including supplements, detoxification, parasite cleaning, and bowel regulation for a comprehensive rehabilitation.
We are committed to providing you with all the resources and guidance necessary to support your child’s journey throughout the therapy process.
While there are various rehabilitation methods available, such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, behavioral therapy, and applied behavior analysis (ABA), these therapies generally focus on helping children manage and improve their behavior rather than addressing the underlying neurological imbalances.
Stem cell therapy, on the other hand, provides an innovative and scientific approach by working at the cellular level, offering the potential for more permanent improvements in brain function and communication abilities. It complements other therapies and can be used in conjunction with them to support the child’s overall development.
Our unique follow-up system includes a comprehensive protocol designed to support your child's progress after therapy. This includes:
We will not only provide you with the necessary products and recommendations but also maintain constant communication throughout this journey. Our goal is to ensure that your child receives the best possible care and support every step of the way, empowering you to see meaningful, long-lasting improvements.
While we strongly recommend that you take advantage of this 1-day injection procedure for optimal results, missing it will not cause any harm to your child. The therapy will still have its benefits, and your child will continue to receive the improvements from the initial stem cell treatment.
We are here to guide and support you through the process, ensuring the best possible outcome for your child.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can arise from a variety of factors, and ongoing studies continue to explore its root causes. However, there is no definitive cause for autism. Environmental factors, premature birth, genetic predispositions, heavy metal exposure, and other factors are often discussed as potential contributors.
Vaccines were once mistakenly blamed for autism due to the presence of mercury as a preservative, but it's important to note that vaccines have not contained mercury for over 20 years.
In short, autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that may develop due to a combination of factors, but there is no single proven cause.
Our clinic focuses on autologous stem cell injection therapy, meaning we use stem cells collected directly from the child's own body. The stem cells we use are not proliferated in a laboratory but are carefully collected and utilized in their natural state.
While cord blood is a valuable source of stem cells, proliferating or expanding those cells is a lengthy process. Additionally, retrieving cells from cord blood frozen in a nitrogen tank at -70°C is not practical. For these reasons, we do not typically use cord blood for our therapy.
Our clinic is proud to serve families from all around the world, speaking a wide range of languages. To maintain privacy, we ask for the consent of each family before recording videos, taking photos, or sharing their experiences.
Some families choose to share their personal stories with us, and with their permission, we provide access to their contact information for those who speak the same language. We also offer interview videos featuring testimonials from parents, with subtitles in your language for easy understanding.
