A stem cell is a cell whose job in the body is not yet determined. Every single cell in the body 'stems'from this type of cell - hence the name stem cell. Stem cells are a class of undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types. Commonly, stem cells come from two main sources:
Both types are generally characterized by their potency, or potential to differentiate into different cell types (such as skin, muscle, bone, etc.). In our stem cell treatments, we use: Adult stem cells Adult or somatic stem cells exist throughout the body after embryonic development and are found inside of different types of tissue. These stem cells have been found in tissues such as the brain, bone marrow, blood, blood vessels, fat cells (adipose tissue), skeletal muscles, skin, and the liver. They remain in a quiescent or non-dividing state for years until activated by disease or tissue injury. For our stem cell therapies we use adult stem cells derived from:
Depending on the condition being treated, our doctors will design a stem cell treatment plan to offer the best potential for a positive outcome to the patient. Stem cell therapy using these types of stem cells has not been noted to cause any adverse affects in thousands of treated cases. Althoughh the level of positive change to the symptoms related to the condition being treated may vary, all patients will benefit from the rujuvenative qualities of adult stem cells.
Our clinics procure their stem cells from laboratories that utilize the most modern methods of stem cell production, in that the facility must be GLP (good laboratory practice) approved. This means that it has to have an international accreditation recognized by first-world medical authorities.
Quaility cannot be compromised when injecting biological preparations into human beings, so production only occurs in a sterile environment free of infections and contaminants.

Stem cells taken from your own fat cells.Adipose tissue is drawn from your body via mini lipo suction at one of our partnering hospitals. The stem cells are then cultivated from your fat tissue and expanded in our lab to reach the required numbers for stem cell administration. Stem cells taken from your blood. Vials of blood are drawn from your body at our medical centre. The stem cells are then cultivated from your blood and expanded in our lab to reach the required numbers for stem cell administration. Stem Cells which are harvested from the otherwise discarded umbilical cords from natural full-term births. These cells are classified as ADULT STEM CELLS; however, because these stem cells are only nine months old when the cord blood is harvested, they appear to have a greater level of plasticity (the ability to generate differentiated cell types) and thus greater restorative and regenerative potential than stem cells derived from adult tissue. These stem cells are purified cells in a juvenille state which hold no rejection issues with the patient. The purifed stem cells we use are generally a combination of 2 types of stem cells :
The stem cells are early passage multipotent progenitor cells derived from human cord blood that are capable of supporting hematopoiesis and differentiating into multiple lineages including: osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic, neurogenic, myogenic, and cardiomyogenic.
Stem cells isolated from umbilical cord blood by immunomagnetic separation techniques. They are normally found as hematopoietic cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and endothelial cells of blood vessels. These umbilical cord blood stem cells are of very high quaility. Each vial of our stem cells is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis, approved by a qualified microbiologist. You will be issued a copy of this certificate, which will include measures of viability and purity. This includes tests done on the mother as well as the cord blood before and after culture, covering amongst other things: HIV, Hepatitis B, and bacteria.
