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.

Growing numbers of individuals seeking alternative or advanced forms of medical treatment, including stem cell therapies, travel to foreign destinations every year. According to their reports, such numbers are on the verge of ‘exploding’ as individuals seek safe and effective treatments for dehabilitative injuries, diseases and terminal illnesses at affordable prices not currently found in the U.S

Stem cell technologies and advancements are being made on an almost daily basis. From Japan to China to the U.S. to Europe, Africa and Russia, the world’s scientists and medical experts have been studying, and using, stem cells treatments and stem cell therapy to treat a wide range of illnesses, injuries and disease processes.

To date, scientific research into stem cells has identified multiple types of stem cells and sources. The most commonly studied, and used, stem cell therapies today involve the use of embryonic stem cell therapy, adult stem cell therapy and research and umbilical cord stem cell therapy.

Today, stem cell research offers potential treatments for the future that may cure many disease processes, enable people with spinal cord injuries to walk again, and perhaps even see an end to cognitive impairment diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease. Facilities like ProgenCell, located in  Tijuana, Mexico, are leaders in stem cell research and technology. ProgenCell focuses on the use of autologous (from the patient) adult stem cell therapy and treatment.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal, produces in-depth profiles of stem cell treatments and facilities around the world that offers international travelers affordable, effective and available stem cell therapies and technologies that offer hope for millions suffering from a multitude of genetic and acquired disease processes.

Stem cell research and development continues to move forward at an accelerated pace. Recently, researchers at Children’s Hospital in Oakland, California completed studies that found that placenta stem cells may very well prove an important and valuable source for curing blood related disorders such as sickle cell anemia and leukemia.

Children’s Hospital in California is not the only facility that has been researching treatments and cures for formerly lifelong disease processes. Nearly every day, researchers and scientists find  new ways in which the potential of stem cell research may be utilized in the pursuit of cures for neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s and many different types of cancer. Today, stem cell therapies are used to treat autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease and myasthenia gravis. Stem cell treatments have been used in the cosmetic and plastic surgical field as well as in the treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.

Individuals suffering from cirrhosis of the liver, wounds, gangrene, multiple forms of anemia, and autoimmune diseases and disorders are looking for researchers to find effective and viable treatments through research of adult stem cell, embryonic, umbilical and placental stem cells.

Excellent facilities for stem cell research and therapy may be found in Mexico, Asia and Europe. Integrative Medical Center in Mexico and EmCell, located in Kiev and the Bangkok Hospital Medical Center in Thailand are just three well known destinations where international travelers seeking stem cell treatments may go for treatment for chronic illnesses and treatments in cardiovascular, immunodeficiency, cancer and neuromuscular diseases and disorders. Stem cell therapy research and treatments offer patients hope and will continue as long as research and developments continue to discover their untold benefits.

Stem cell research, treatments, procedures and protocols are the wave of the future and offer individuals suffering from a multitude of illnesses and disease processes a chance at enhanced quality of life and potential remissions and cures.

Adult stem cells are commonly used today as stem cell treatment for bone marrow transplants, blood stem cell transplants and transfusions in stem cell treatment of such diseases such as leukemia, other types of cancers and blood disorders.

The potential use for adult stem cells in fields of treatment and research for brain diseases such as the aforementioned Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, as well as neuromuscular diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis offer hope for the future of medicine. Adult stem cells culled from bone marrow has long been used in the treatment of leukemia and is currently being developed for treatment of cancers and blood diseases.

The Integrative Medical Center, located in Tamps, Mexico is one such facility that offers patients hope. Another is EmCell, located in Ukraine and another is the Bangkok Medical Center Hospital in Thailand. Each offers hope and potential treatments for auto immune diseases like systemic lupus, myasthenia, Crohn’s Disease, Buerger’s Disease, and muscular dystrophy. Stem cell cures for neural degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and spinal cord damage are on the horizon. Stem cell treatment and recovery for wounds and injuries include enhanced surface wound healing, recovery from gangrene, and faster surgery recovery time.

The connection between stem cells and health cannot be ignored. Stem cell therapies have not yet been approved in the U.S., but consumers have options when it comes to stem cell therapies offered in Mexico, Asia, and throughout Europe.
