Unfortunately, many people think that because a medical treatment or therapy isn’t practiced in mainstream medical practice that it isn’t effective, safe or practical for the treatment of many conditions. However, many therapies, many of them thousands of years old, have been practiced, effectively and with positive results, for individuals around the world for conditions ranging from asthma to cancer.

Some of these treatments include what is known as chelation and ozone therapy. Ozone therapy, is known by many different names, including O3 therapy. Ozone therapy has been used around the globe since the mid 1800s, but today is known as a naturopathic form of medical treatment. Health care practitioners in Australia, Europe, and the United States have utilized ozone therapy as a germicide and antibacterial, and dozens of medical journals have published articles relating the effective benefits of this therapy.

Chelation therapy is considered a type of alternative or holistic medicine that reduces or removes a variety of wastes from the body. As food digests, amino acids and enzymes break down foods, infuses them with nutrients and transports them to organs and blood cells. Chelation actually defines a process by which minerals such as iron or lead adheres to or combines with red blood cells, removing excess accumulation of such minerals or toxic wastes in the body.

Advanced Medical Group, located in Juarez, Mexico is one such facility that provides alternative or integrative medicine, such as hyperbaric oxygen in Mexico, chelation in Mexico and ozone therapy in Mexico for heart treatment, diabetes treatment in Mexico and cancer treatment in Mexico, among others. Dr. Soto of Advanced Medical Group studied under ‘the grandfather of chelation’, Dr. Ray Evers at the H.R. Evers Center in Alabama.

In the past few years, the concept of traveling to other countries to receive medical treatment is no longer scoffed at.  Long gone are the horror stories or the jokes about substandard treatment in third world countries that people supposedly flock to save money, only to end up with disastrous results.  As a matter of fact, many such stories are based on rumor and have propagated because of misconceptions regarding foreign medical care.

As a matter of fact, foreign destinations are often the leaders in developing medical treatments, procedures and surgeries. Take Jordan Hospital Medical Center, for example.  Jordan Hospital Medical Center is a world renowned facility that specializes in providing the latest and best technologies in the medical health field.  The first to perform open heart surgery, the facility was also the first to perform a live liver transplant.

Wooridul Spine Hospital, located in Seoul, South Korea is a highly rated, accredited and certified spinal care and spinal surgery center that brings patients from around the world for cutting edge technologies in spinal surgeries.

The truth of the matter is, medical facilities, many of them located outside of U.S. or British borders are more highly rated and developed when it comes to equipment and technology, offer international patients and travelers the newest quality care procedures and techniques in the world.

A majority of medical facilities abroad are certified and accredited not only by national accreditation facilities but by international accreditation organizations such as WHO, JCI (Joint Commissions International), ISQUA (International Society for Quality in Health Care) and ISO (International Organization For Standardization).  When it comes to superlative, excellent and affordable healthcare, options are available, and often recommended, beyond domestic borders.

PlacidWay, an international medical tourism and health and wellness portal, is focused on breaking down barriers and offering reliable and up-to-date information regarding foreign facilities, surgeons and health care professionals to offer global choices when it comes to medical care options.

Ayurvedic medicine, Yoga and meditation are century old treatments for a variety of health issues, including cardiac care, mental health care, joint and muscle health and health of internal organs.  Various yoga exercises help organs and glands to produce healing chemicals and keep organ tissues and structures in balance with each other. Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation are commonly suggested as natural and alternative treatments for depression.

 

Yoga and meditation are not only a great form of physical exercise, but are becoming increasingly popular as methods of reducing stress and treating depression. Yoga and meditation are very inexpensive to learn and practice. There are no drugs involved, thereby alleviating drug side effects. The practice of Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation also help to reduce high blood pressure, tension, anxiety, and even fear. Americans are growing increasingly opened to mind-body practices called complementary and alternative medicine, also known as CAM.

Ayurvedic medicine, also known as Ayurveda treatment is one of the oldest systems of medical treatment in the world. Ayurvedic treatments which are also know as Herbal treatments are a large part of this form of alternative or natural health care.

Destinations such as those found in India, Thailand, and Singapore offer this ancient health and wellness teaching to international patients. Facilities such as the Indus Valley Ayurveda Center and the Athreya Ayurvedic Resorts in India are just two prime examples of the best these ancient traditions have to offer.

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.

Whether you’re going for fun, the history, health tourism or any combination of the three, the Ukraine is a great place to visit. It’s one of the oldest and largest countries in Europe that enjoys great geographical, historical and architectural landmarks. These days, people go for exotic vacation destinations not only to relax, but also to enjoy cheap but professional medical procedures like plastic surgery.

 

The Ukraine is not very different from other great European countries as far as medical standards are concerned, so you need not worry about putting your health at risk by undergoing medical treatment in the Ukraine. However, the economics of the country allow more competitive prices than those of many other developed countries.

 

Medical treatment in Ukraine meets high standards of care and excellence and is one of the leading locations for stem cell research in middle Europe. Clinics in Ukraine offer treatments for stem cell therapy, anti-aging treatments, cancer and chronic disease treatments using a vast wealth of knowledge, not only culled from traditional medical practices, but from exciting developments in stem cell research.

To date, no stem cells therapy options are available in the U.S., so many Americans travel to international destinations to benefits from stem cell treatment procedures. The U.S. has approved funding for Phase I clinical trials of some types of stem cell therapies that may provide productive and beneficial use in the near future.

The potential cost of stem cell therapy in the U.S. may be prohibitively expensive, leading most to seek cures for illnesses, injuries and disease processes in China, Thailand, Japan, Europe, such as the EmCell Clinic in Kiev, Ukraine and India for such care.

The cost of a stem cell therapy is determined by geographic location of treatment facilities as well as the injury, illness or disease being treated. Medical travelers should research and study human stem cell therapy, treatments and protocols in foreign destinations.

Questions to Ask:

• Can you offer proof that these stem cell treatment therapies work?
• Can I speak with former patients who have undergone such therapies?
• Who are (and what are the credentials) of the physician or surgeon administering stem cell treatment?
• How long has the organization offered such treatments?
• How safe is the stem cell treatment? Are there risks involved?

The Future of Stem Cells Therapy

The World Stem Cell Summit in Madison, Wisconsin in September 2008 anticipated growing numbers of individuals seeking stem cell based therapy, alternative or advanced forms of medical treatment, and travel to foreign destinations. Everyone has a right to seek safe and effective treatments for dehabilitative injuries, diseases and terminal illnesses at affordable prices not currently found in the U.S.
