A cell is the basic functional structure of
the human body
Tissue is formed by more cells
Organs are formed by more tissues
Sistems are formed by more organs
A body is formed by many systems.

A mature cell has specific functions depending on
the organ where it belongs.
A mature cell has a limited number of replications.

What is a Stem Cell?
Is capable of reproducing itselfmany times: Produce a cell thathas identical properties as the
original.
Is capable of differentiation intoanother kind of cell. (transformationto another type of tissue).
Homing capability.
A special type of cell, referred to as a master cell.

How does the body naturally heal?
When in balance, there is a life cycle. Stem cell is born, travels to the tissue to be worked on, differentiates
into that type of tissue (becomes tissue cell), when a cell of that tissue
dies and is discarded, the new cell replaces it.We have continuous production of stem cells.
Out of balance, accelerated damaged cells.
Could be many reasons. Body does not release enough stem cells to repair damage. Chronic disease.

Embryonic
They are located inside the blastocyte or embryos up to 8 weeks offertilization.
Adult stem cells.
They are located all over a formed body with higher concentration on:
Cord blood and placenta
Fat Bone Marrow

Totipotent
Could grow and form a complete new organism
Pluripotent
Could form any other kind of cell Multipotent
Could diferentiate only on a cell of its line.
Unipotent
Only can form one type of cell

Why embryonic stem cells are
controversial?
Pros: They are Highly prolific- Very easy to duplicate
They are Pluripotent - Can be differentiated into all kind oftissue
Cons: Has to come from a blastocyte - Embryo
They are Pluripotent- could differentiate into unwanted kind
of tissue on unwanted locations. They are Highly prolific- risk of growing theratomas
Gene information is also transferred to recipient.

Adult stem cells
Pros: They are Highly prolific- but not unlimited
They are Pluripotent or multipotent
Primitive undifferentiated cells Easier access
Cons:
Limited on proliferation Limited in quantity on some areas

What is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem cell therapy = use of stem cells to treat medical conditions.
Difference between Infusion and Transplant
Infusion:adding to your body. Reinforces your currenttissues and systems (immunologic, neurologic andmetabolic)
Transplant: replacing an organ. Usually involves anorgan transportation and storage, and an aggressivepatient preparation.

Autologous- own tissue. Same donor and recipient.
Homologous / Allogenic- Tissues from the samespecies
HeterologousTissue from other species
Types of Transplant

Risks and secondary effects of Stem
cell therapy infusion
Autologous Risk: Infection
Secondary effects: head ache, bruise skin.
Allogenic
Genetic Disease transmission
Low viability if not stored/processed properly
Tissue rejection
Secondary Effects: same as above and variable with thecomplications.
CAUTION: the more different the tissue is, the more
aggressive the risks are. (example: animal stem cells)

Myths of stem cells
In the near future Stem cells will cure all and everyone! Stem cells cause theratomas.
Stem cells from your own body cannot treat your ownillness.
All Stem cells are illegal.
Stem cells therapies are super expensive, 50K+.
Stem cells from Shark cartilage are much better.
Stem cells from Placenta or Fat have 10x the number ofcells compared to bone marrow or umbilical cord.

Trends Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy
Been here for a few years and continues to grow.
Cord Blood Stem Cell Therapy
Still Being studied.
Not so regulated
Consequences because of being allogenic.
Fat tissue Stem Cell Therapy
Growing interest (easy to provide in a Drs office)
Specially for Esthetics
Embryonic Stem Cell Therapy Is going to take even longer to be useful.

The ProcedureCase Study:
Consultation, Blood work, Specialist assessment (if needed).
Patient Preparation
Procedure:
Aspiration of Bone marrow with local anesthesia
Cell preparation, Dilution, Cell concentration
Infusion by IV and/or Catheter
Direct injection to organs, Lumbar, joints, retro bulbar, thyroid, subcutaneous,
injuries, etc.
Recovery/Observation after procedure
Usually, 3 day and 2 nights trip, but could be done in 1 day.

Patient steps for treatment
1. Study patients condition (Questionnaire, X-Ray,MRI, blood work, reports)
2. Medical team determines best therapy for specific
case
3. Coordination and Scheduling (date of procedure,
transportation, accommodation, meals, etc.)
4. Patient travel and logistics support.
5. PROCEDURE
6. Follow up (1 day, 7, 30, 60 and 90 days)
