Pluripotent Stem Cell Therapy - What Results Can I Expect?

Thursday, November 02, 2023

In the realm of regenerative medicine, few therapeutic approaches have garnered as much attention and intrigue recently as pluripotent stem cell therapy. As we delve into the therapeutic promises and potential outcomes of this powerful tool in biological medicine, understanding the fundamental science behind it is essential.

Origins of Pluripotent Cells

At the core of pluripotent stem cell therapy lie embryonic stem cells. These unique human cells are the youngest stem cells in biology. They come from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst. Once isolated, these embryonic stem cells are grown under specific conditions in laboratories, leading to the formation of pluripotent stem cell lines. What sets pluripotent stem cells apart, especially when contrasted with somatic cell types and other specialized cells and types of stem cells — the adult stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue, bone marrow stem cells (autologous cells), umbilical cord tissue from umbilical cord blood, placental stem cells (donor cells), and hematopoietic stem cells (blood cells) — is their unparalleled versatility. Their "neutral genetic blueprint" empowers them to release a cascade of pluripotent transcription factors that signal repair in any of the 220+ tissue types present in the human body. This fundamental property grants pluripotent stem cells their unmatched capability for comprehensive tissue repair. 

Administering Pluripotent Stem Cell Therapy

In the clinical settings, these laboratory-grown types of cells are administered to patients, typically via IV (intravenous) injections or as local injections directly into tissues. This form of stem cell treatment seeks to leverage the innate capabilities of these cells, promoting repair, rejuvenation, and regeneration of damaged or diseased tissues and restoration of homeostasis of bodily systems, like endocrine system, cardiovascular system and respiratory system.

Expectations and Outcomes

The question remains: With such immense potential, what can patients truly expect from this potent cell-based therapy?

While pluripotent stem cell therapy offers profound therapeutic possibilities—spanning from the regeneration of epithelial cells in the skin to the repair of nerve cells in the brain, and treatment of myriad forms of human diseases, such as cardiovascular disease  —the results are, understandably, varied. This variation arises from the intricate complexity of human biology, where each individual's body responds uniquely to interventions.

Years of research in animal models, interventional studies and clinical studies underscore a consistent theme: pluripotent stem cells reignite our body's inherent healing mechanisms. They do not merely act as a band-aid; they go to the root, signaling repair, rejuvenation, and in many cases, multi-tissue cellular reprogramming. They tap into the body's reservoir of undifferentiated cells, prompting them into action.

However, it's essential to approach this treatment with realistic expectations. While the therapeutic potency of these specialized cell types is well-established, the variation in outcomes remains as diverse as human biology itself. Some individuals might witness swift and significant improvements in the first week of treatment. Others might experience a more gradual improvement over time. This spectrum of responses isn't indicative of the treatment's efficacy per se, but rather a reflection of each individual's unique physiological composition and healing paths.

What are the key factors influencing optimal outcomes?

As we dive deeper into understanding pluripotent stem cell therapy's outcomes, certain patterns and prerequisites emerge, shedding light on how to maximize the treatment's potential:

  1. Physical Preparedness: The physical state of the body at the onset of therapy plays a crucial role in dictating outcomes. A body that's nutritionally balanced and in prime physical health often responds more favorably to stem cell treatment. Reducing factors like chronic inflammation and ensuring optimal cellular health can enhance the therapy's impact.

  2. Psychological Resilience: The psychological component of healing is often underestimated. A positive mindset, coupled with realistic and informed expectations, can profoundly influence therapeutic outcomes. Trusting in the body's intrinsic ability to self-repair and staying committed to the healing journey can amplify the benefits of the therapy.

  3. Biology's Innate Wisdom: It's pivotal to trust in our body's inherent intelligence. At times, pluripotent stem cells, once introduced into our system, might prioritize repairing damage or addressing degeneration we aren't consciously aware of or tuned into. Recognizing that our body might focus on unseen or undiagnosed issues before addressing more symptom-based concerns is integral to the healing process.

  4. Whole Person Approach: Beyond the physical and mental realms, a holistic approach to healing encompasses various factors. This might involve complementary therapies, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications, all converging to create an environment conducive to maximizing the benefits of pluripotent stem cell therapy.

How are patients supported during Stemaid treatment, for best outcomes?

Optimal outcomes from pluripotent stem cell therapy are not just about the cells themselves but also the body's readiness to accept and integrate them. This readiness is a multifaceted condition influenced by several key physiological factors. 

  • Cellular Environment: The health of the cellular milieu is fundamental. A body rich in nutrients and low in toxins provides an ideal environment for stem cells to thrive and enact repairs. At Stemaid Institute, patients receive daily healthy organic lunch, and are guided by the medical team to keep to a nourishing diet outside of program hours. In treatment, we keep supporting the organs of elimination with Biotherapeutic Medicinal Products and detoxifying the body with Chelation (EDTA/DMSA), Botanical Medicines, and EBOO Ozone therapy and other supportive therapies. 

  • Inflammatory Status: Chronic inflammation can be a significant barrier to healing. Lowering inflammation can help create a more receptive state for stem cell integration and function. In the Stemaid Programs, we support patients to receive good sleep (with supplements, botanicals, and hormones), nutritious food, low stress environment, sunshine and time in nature. We also provide IV nutritional therapies (peptides, nutraceuticals) that support anti-inflammatory pathways.

  • Immune System Balance: An immune system that is neither overactive nor suppressed is crucial. It must be finely tuned to allow the stem cells to work without being hindered. In fact, we could say that the stem cells and their biological product, Plurisomes, are together the most potent immune modulating agents in the Stemaid Programs. We also provide immune modulating herbs, IV Peptides, Ascorbate and EBOO Ozone all do a great job in supporting powerful immune function. 

  • Circulatory and Oxygenation Efficiency: Good blood flow and oxygenation are vital, ensuring the stem cells can be delivered efficiently to the areas they are needed most. Cabo is a beautiful and peaceful environment where patients find the inspiration to get out into nature, to move their body in fresh air, either walking, running or swimming in the ocean. Movement is key for circulation. We also support microcirculation and oxygenation with Therapeutic massages, Medical Qi Gong, Tibetan Foot baths and Bioresonance mats.

  • Hormonal and Endocrine Factors: Hormones regulate numerous body functions and can affect stem cell activity. Balancing hormones can support stem cell therapy by fostering a conducive growth environment. In the Stemaid Programs, we check hormone status upon arrival and supplement with botanical medicines or bio-identical hormones as needed. 

  • Neurological Health: The nervous system's health impacts how stem cells communicate and integrate into body tissues. Neural cells, synapses and pathways must be functioning well for stem cells to carry out complex repairs, especially in nerve tissue. All of our therapies are neuroprotective and neurosupportive. Pluripotent cell products, Plurisomes™ (PLU), cross the blood brain barrier and repair brain tissue readily. Combining PSC and PLU is recommended in the program. 

  • Genetic Expressions: Transcription factors and gene expression patterns play a role in determining the differentiation and function of stem cells. Tailoring therapy to these patterns can improve outcomes. We recommend patients learn their genetic status from genetic tests and are supplementing with nutrients that are supportive of the uniqueness through nutrigenomics. If patient do not know their unique genetics, we use bioresonance technologies that give us a close look at the genetic health status of the body. 

In essence, the more attuned the body's physiological state is to receiving pluripotent stem cells, the greater the likelihood of a successful and transformative outcome from the therapy. Once you are at Stemaid Institute, you can adjust your treatment strategy even further with the help of our medical team. Do not hesitate to communicate your questions and needs with us daily. 

Pluripotent stem cell therapy stands at the forefront of regenerative medicine, representing hope, innovation, and a testament to human biology's power to self-regulate, and self-repair. However, as with all treatments, individual outcomes are nuanced. Each person's healing journey is distinct, and understanding, combined with a whole-person approach grounded in trust, patience, and knowledge, can set the stage for achieving the best possible therapeutic outcomes.
