Regenerative Medicine— the New Frontier of Stem Cell Therapy

Debilitating disease and chronic pain can be devastating, and when pain has become too much to bear, a decision must be made. Surgery creates more injury to the body and can be traumatic to overall health, while medications can create a toxic environment prone to additional illness and inflammation for extensive periods of time. Many patients may not be candidates for invasive treatments due to age, current health conditions, religious views, and other factors. This has led millions to search for alternative solutions to activate the body’s natural healing capabilities without harmful injections, narcotics or surgeries.

    Stem cell therapy is an innovative, ground-breaking technology. Stem cells are used to harness the power of the body and restore structure and function to damaged, dysfunctional tissues and organs. A stem cell is a “blank” cell that has the ability to become any other type of cell—blood cells, muscle cells, brain cells, nerve cells, etc. This type of cell is able to multiply at an astounding rate to become new tissue that could not otherwise be repaired, promoting natural healing and regrowth. Stem cell therapy may be used to treat or invoke positive responses to reduce the effects of leukemia; heart disease; blindness; arthritis; spinal cord injuries; and in the near future, possibly Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes and dementia. Data from new studies are being published at a rapid rate, as this method of healing and renewal has become a part of mainstream integrative and alternative medicine practice.

    Successful treatment and regeneration of tissue with stem cells began more than 30 years ago using bone marrow and umbilical cord cells. Extensive research and testing have opened the door to placental stem cell treatment, in which the discarded placentas of healthy, planned cesarean sections are utilized. Like the Fountain of Youth, placental stem cells have the power to recover and grow at an unbelievable rate when compared to other cells. They are loaded with a higher concentration of young, fresh cells, and thus, harvesting the cells results in a more viable treatment outcome and reduced risk, which makes the procedure available to a wider variety of patients across the spectrum. After being harvested, the placenta is frozen in a way that it can be defrosted and injected with a compound that enables the stem cells to be extracted at a later time.

    SC Stem Cell, located at Forest Acres Well Care (FAWC), in Columbia, is excited to provide its patients with stem cell treatment, and proud to offer the only Food and Drug Administration-registered and regulated stem cell product on the market today—along with a safe, patented extraction and preservation method that can be traced back to the donor, if so desired. FAWC believes that all stem cells are not created equal. FAWC stem cell treatment options are of excellent quality, infused with collagen and inflammation healing properties—all at a very affordable cost.
