A Great Hope for Parkinson’s Patients

Parkinson's Disease is a degenerative nervous system condition that affects the movement. Symptoms often start quite gradually, with minor issues such as small tremors within the extremities (hands). Currently, there is no cure for Parkinson's Disease (PD); however, certain medications do have the capacity to help manage symptoms. Some doctors may also recommend surgery to address certain symptoms, which involves regulating certain areas of the brain.

According the Venkataraman and colleagues, "A subjective improvement was found in symptoms like facial expression, gait, and freezing episodes; 2 patients have significantly reduced the dosages of PD medicine. These results indicate that our protocol seems to be safe, and no serious adverse events occurred after stem-cell transplantation in PD patients."

As stated in a 2005 study held by Brian Snyder, “Stem cells offer the potential to provide a virtually unlimited supply of optimized dopaminergic neurons that can provide enhanced benefits in comparison to fetal mesencephalic transplants. Stem cells have now been shown to be capable of differentiating into dopamine neurons that provide benefits following transplantation in animal models of Parkinson's disease.”

 

Stem cell therapy may be a viable treatment option for Parkinson's Disease. Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to target and reduce inflammation which may help neurological conditions.

Stem cell therapy may have the benefit of replacing and repairing damaged dopamine-producing nerve cells within the brain.

At “The Healer Stem Cell”, we observe promising results with Cord Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells, cell numbers and viability has largely increased making the treatment more effective than Bone Marrow-Derived treatments that were used in the early 2010s. The development of these advanced cellular therapies is making it possible to combat the progression of the disease without the resulting motor complications.
