Today, stem cell therapies are also being studied at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine to prevent acute lung injuries. Embryonic, placental, and umbilical cord stem cell treatments and research continues to focus on unlimited potential to treat, reduce the symptoms of, and perhaps potentially cure, degenerative disease processes such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Facilities throughout the world, including those in stem cell treatment facilities in Mexico, the Ukraine, South Korea, and Western Europe continue to research adult stem cells, stem cell therapies, and potential stem cell treatments for everything from chronic illnesses to repairing heart, lung, or brain tissue damage by injury or disease processes.

Recently, over $230 million dollars in grants was awarded to a variety of California companies and universities for basic stem cell research in the treatment of diseases like AIDS and cancer.  Today, most stem cell research and development is non embryonic in nature, but individuals anxiously awaiting the legalization of stem cell treatments and procedures in the United States may have some time to wait, prompting many citizens to travel to facilities such as that of Integra, with Dr. Omar Gonzalez or ProgenCell, located in Mexico, or EmCell facilities, located in the Ukraine.

In an effort to hasten the availability of stem cell treatment and research in the United States, a group of American doctors have formed the American Stem Cell Therapy Association, encouraging FDA approval of stem cell research.  Until then, Americans are traveling abroad to reap the benefits of stem cell research and technology.

More expatriates are returning to their native countries for medical care. This trend is due in part because of increased quality of care in many countries, as well as the affordability of such care. 

Asians traveling to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia enjoy affordable state of the art and high-tech treatment and care for orthopedic surgical procedures, cardiac care, and vision care. Latin Americans are returning to Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina for cutting edge technology in cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures, infertility treatments, and anti aging treatments and procedures. Eastern Europeans are traveling to destinations such as Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and Armenia as well as Russia for drug detox treatments, infertility treatments, and stem cell treatment and technologies.

Rising healthcare costs in the United States, Britain, Canada and France are compelling natives as well as foreign citizens to return to their homelands for such care, which utilizes highly trained physicians, world-class treatment and quality care that nevertheless is not burdened by high malpractice insurance costs, long wait times, and an increasingly disturbing trend by physicians and insurance companies in some countries to hesitate to take on patients diagnosed with chronic and long-term illnesses that drain resources, time, and manpower.

Information, education and resources offered to such expatriates enables educated and informed decisions regarding medical care, preventive medicine, and treatment of conditions ranging from cancer treatment to spine or knee surgery to stem cell treatments in foreign facilities. Destinations such as Wooridul Spine Center in South Korea, EmCell stem cell research in Ukraine and Ageless Wonders in Panama offer international travelers the best that medicine has to offer.

Would you be surprised to find out that most of the cutting edge technologies, developments, procedures and surgeries are not developed in the United States?  Do you remember the first successful heart transplant?  It didn’t occur in the United States, but Cape Town, South Africa in the late 1960s. Since then, cardiac transplantation is in the top five most commonly performed organ transplants in the United States. South Korea’s scientists are among the leaders in stem cell research, as is stem cell research development in Japan and other Asian countries. Laser assisted vision correction, also known as LASIK, was pioneered in Germany in the mid 1980s, but was not available in the United States until the mid 1990s.

Why does it take so long for treatments and procedures to be accepted in the United States? Most commonly, because most procedures, medications, and medical protocols need to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While the safety of such technologies and drugs are essential, individuals seeking the benefits of stem cell research must travel to Mexico, Asia, Europe or Central Europe for treatment.

The growing trend in medical tourism is caused by an increasing dissatisfaction with the healthcare system in the United States, as well as Britain and Canada.  Medical procedures in orthopedics, cardiac care or cardiology, obesity, and degenerative diseases are being studied, researched and treatments developed in locations such as EmCell, located in Kiev, Ukraine, ProgenCell, located in Tijuana, Mexico, and Integra Medical Center, located in Tamps, Mexico, just south of the Texas border.

Until such procedures are placed on the fast track within the FDA, travelers from the United States will be venturing to destinations such as Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Mexico, and Central European destinations for immediate and effective, affordable medical care.
