Overview

Did you know?

Every human being begins in utero as stem cells. These cells have the ability to develop into any of the more than 200 types of cells in our bodies. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell. [1]

While articles about stem cell therapy are prevalent in today’s headlines, stem cell technology itself is not new. The use of adult stem cells for treatment of a variety of conditions is based on thirty years of international research and clinical experience. These therapies have been shown to produce life-changing outcomes for thousands.

The history of stem cell research began in the early 1900s in Europe where a researcher realized that various types of blood cells came from a particular stem cell. It was not until 1963, however, that the first description of the self-renewal activities of cells was documented [2]. Today, stem cells are now being used to serve as a repair system for the body because further studies have shown that stem cells can divide, restore, and replenish.

But why travel for stem cell therapy?

For most conditions, stem cell therapies are not available in many countries, including the US. When available, the cost for these therapies is very high. Stem cell centers abroad have had more experience treating many of the health issues stem cell therapy can improve.

As with many other goods and services, the global marketplace has given rise to competition. Within the healthcare universe the result as been the creation of a three dimensional reality for consumers when traveling internationally for medical services: a rise in higher quality care; dramatic cost-savings; and a level of superior service and patient experience.
