 Crucial Differences in the Mechanism of Action of Stem Cell Transplantation and (Chemical) Drug Therapy

Cell transplantation is a vastly different approach to medical therapy and cannot be immediately understood  by mind accustomed to deal with (chemical) drug therapy.

In order to comprehend this statement, you should visualize that 

• everything in the living body is in constant motion: electrons, protons, and other elementary particles of each atom, all atoms, all molecules, all cell organelles of every cell, as well as all fluids, which represent between 75 and 55% of body weight (depending upon age), 

and that 

• there is electromagnetic radiation associated with all such movement, a subject almost completely neglected by medical science,

• and finally the following.

Every cell in your body is programmed to die, and it does so before you die. (The sole exception may be certain neurons.) 

All cells of our body are being continuously replaced, albeit each kind with different speed.

In every disease the principal cells of a diseased organ(s) die faster than the sick body is able to replace them. 

When the quantity of principal cells of a diseased organ(s) drops below certain limit, such organ(s) dies. 

If it is a vitally important organ, without which one cannot live, such as heart, or brain, for example, and surgeons cannot replace such a dying organ(s), the sick organism will die, too.

Current medicine knows of one treatment only when it becomes mandatory to replace dead cells, tissues, or organs: transplantation.

Transplantation of organs from human donors, such as heart, kidney, liver, etc., have become fairly common nowadays. These are life saving major surgical procedures, usually carried out as a 'treatment of last resort'. 

Besides the surgical risk, there is always a problem of rejection: the body of the recipient patient rejects transplanted organ from another body with guarantee, and the only way to prevent it is by taking immunosuppressants for the rest of patient’s life. These drugs can stop a rejection for some time, but only at the expense of serious, often life-endangering, complications.

Some organs cannot be transplanted, such as brain, immune system, so that many diseases cannot be treated by organ transplantation.

Stem cell transplantation has historically preceded organ transplantation by several decades. It will apparently dominate the medicine of 21^st century. The main reasons for such statements are:

• Stem cell transplantation is a minor procedure for a patient, and for that reason it can be, and should be, used in the earlier stages of those diseases that current medicine cannot cure, or even treat. It means that there is no logical reason to wait until the end-stage, as is the case with organ transplantation.
  
• One of the reasons why stem cell transplantation is such a simple procedure for a patient to go through is the principle of 'homing'. 
  
  'Homing' means that the respective stem cells do not have to be implanted into a damaged organ, (i.e. liver stem cells into liver), they can be implanted into more accessible superficial tissues, (e.g. under the aponeurosis of an abdominal  muscle), because they will find their way into the damaged organ, as if  'attracted' by it, and will do so within 7 days of the date of implantation.
  
• Every diseased organ can be treated by stem cell transplantation.
  
• Besides sometimes serving as a replacement for dead cells of a diseased organ, the transplanted cells can bring back to life (or repair) those cells of such organ which actually have not died, just stopped functioning as a result of the disease. 
  
  In other words, besides transplanting new stem cells there is usually another mechanism of action of stem cell transplantation: a 'direct stimulation of regeneration (or repair)'.
  
• If stem cells are properly prepared, such as by BCRO method, they can be implanted without immunosuppression, and thus avoid all complications caused by the use of such medications.

The therapeutic effect of drugs of chemical origin is not as broad as those of any of the 200+ known types of cells transplantated into a body with insufficient quantity or quality of a particular cell type(s).  

Drugs of chemical origin are used to modify a specific function, and their effect is usually narrowly focused.

You should be aware that there are two schools of medical thought in the field of stem cell transplantation today:

According to the German school, stem cell transplant's combination(s) used for the treatment of complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus is different from that used for a patient with complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. 

A patient with complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus can be successfully treated by stem cell transplantation also(!), with the exception of significantly obese patients in whom the treatment of obesity has been repeatedly unsuccessful.

The German school does agree with the U.S. school in some clinical situations, such as for example in cases where the patient is a small child that just became ill with type 1 diabetes mellitus: the treatment by implanting of pancreatic islet cells only would be perfectly adequate here.

In summary, the German school requires that the treatment be 'individualized' by 'tailoring' the combination of stem cell transplants to a specific disease of a specific patient.

Under the Oath of Hippocrates physicians should treat their patients the best way they know how. 

When the disease(s) of a specific patient requires and responds to drugs of chemical origin, he should be treated that way, when patient's disease(s) requires and responds to stem cell transplantation, there should be no hesitation to use such a treatment, and when a combination of both is necessary, so be it.

(Although we follow the classical German school in our clinical advice, we will gladly prepare individual stem cell transplants in any dosage requested by those physicians who follow the U.S. school of thought.)

There are no incurable diseases only those that we do not know how to cure yet. 

Given the opportunity the stem cell transplantation will lower the number of incurable diseases.

The above can be studied in a textbook of E. Michael Molnar, M.D. "Stem Cell Transplantation, a Textbook of Stem Cell Xeno-Transplantation", published by Medical And Engineering Publishers, Inc., Washington, D.C., in February 2006, the first textbook for medical profession and students in the world about this subject.

  (Please, beware that stem cell transplantation is not a 'wonder' treatment for all diseases known to mankind, and so it may be of no use in your particular case.)

as well as a possibility to

• order stem cell transplants manufactured by our company  for actual patient treatment,
  
  with worldwide delivery.

(Long distance consultation will soon be available via telemedicine link as well.)

Whenever you contact us on this web site in order to 

• get such a free advice via our online questionnaire, 

we will respond promptly.

Besides that we assign each prospective client an ID code, so that there is no need to use the patient's name in future communications, or on vials containing the patient's stem cell transplants. The combined effect of such steps is that sensitive medical data will not get into the wrong hands.
