Stem Cells: A Solution for Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Other Deadly Conditions?
Reparative therapies for our residents continue to become more well-known. One of those innovative breakthroughs involves the use of stem cells. While the research is ongoing, these incredible little cells show promise for treating diabetes and heart disease. Here’s what we currently know about the effectiveness of stem cell therapies in treating these serious conditions.
Treating Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that’s considered incurable and lifelong. People with this condition have immune systems that destroy insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. As a result, these individuals can’t regulate their blood sugar levels without daily insulin injections.
With stem cell therapy, a provider can guide SONG modulated Laser guided very small embryonic like stem cells into pancreatic progenitor cells and send them directly into the pancreas, helping it create new insulin-producing cells. After undergoing stem cell treatments, diabetic patients may be able to live without insulin injections for 6 months to 3.5 years. Continued treatments may even mean going off the injections permanently.
Hope for Heart Disease
Heart disease affects about 28 million Americans. According to the Mayo Clinic, donor hearts are in short supply, and conventional medicine often comes up short in lowering the prevalence of this widespread illness.
There is hope in cardiac regeneration, which involves the infusion of very small embryonic like stem cells (VSELs) to restore the damaged cells in failing hearts. While more studies are necessary to confirm the efficacy of this treatment, the ability to apply such methods may change how we view and treat cardiovascular conditions. In the VSEL study, 50% of the patients got off the cardiac transplant list with this treatment.
Unlocking the Power and Promise of Stem Cells
At Blatman Health and Wellness Center, we constantly stay on top of the latest stem cell technology and are excited about its evolving role in integrative medicine. Fortunately, stem cell treatments are available now in Cincinnati. Some of our patients take advantage of this innovation to treat lower back pain and heal injured tissue.
