Stem Cell Therapy as Rejuvenation and Other Disease Treatment

Dec. 20, 2009 - PRLog -- Manila, Philippines – Asian Medical Tourism – offers stem cell research and treatment for a wide range of degenerative disorders such as diabetes mellitus, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and aging in itself. The most commonly studied and used method—autologous adult stem cell therapy—involves the use of bone marrow, blood, skin and most recently, fat.

This patented fat stem cell therapy makes use of the patient’s own fat cells usually from the abdomen, reinvigorated in the growth solution, and later on injected back into the body. It restores a youthful appearance, energy and vigor. This is pioneered by Dr. Florencio Q. Lucero, a US-trained and board certified Filipino plastic surgeon. He currently maintains a good practice both in the Philippines and Dubai, and holds the exclusive Philippine license to make use of the breakthrough technology, having 25 years of medical experience under his belt.

Research in stem cells started in the 1960’s by Canadian scientists, Ernest A. McCulloch and James E. Till. Mammalian stem cells are multi-cellular organisms and are classified according to two broad types. They are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are specialized embryonic tissues. Adult stem cells are different from embryonic stem cells since they act as a repair system for the body. Recently, stem cell research has found the potential for treating a wide range of disorders using adult stem cells.

Some of the degenerative disorders that can be treated using stem cell treatment are diabetes mellitus, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. They are different from diseases like brain tumors since degenerative disorders cause the progressive deterioration of the body over time due to normal bodily wear or lifestyle choices. The most commonly used and studied method of stem cell treatment is the autologous adult stem cell therapy. The stem cell treatment usually involves the bone marrow, blood and skin. The most recently developed stem cell treatment involves the use of fat. The fat stem cell treatment pioneered by Dr. Lucero uses the patient’s owns fat cells in the treatment.

The patient’s fat and peripheral blood is usually harvested from the body through liposuction, which usually takes an hour. After the liposuction, it takes three hours to incubate and stimulate the stem cells. The whole stem cell treatment has been known to be safe since the treatment only uses the patient’s own stem cells thus, there is no risk of rejection by the immune system.
