My wife and I were watching our local news station (Channel 2 Houston) and we saw a segment from Celltex Mesenchymal Stem Cell company based here in Houston. Long story short I talked to my neurologist about this and he knows Dr. Stanley Jones the co founder of Celltex. My doctor is very excited about this type of stem cell therapy.
It's a seven step process.
1.) Contact to get started.
2.) Enrollment $6500 fee (includes consultation, blood test, extraction & culture, pre-therapy evaluation).
3.) Extraction & culture (painless, comes from the fatty tissue around your stomach).
4.) Pre-therapy evaluation.
5.) Travel to a state of the art hospital in Cancun, Mexico.
6.) Therapy
7.) Post follow up visit.
I asked how they administer the stem cells into the body (Ex. surgery etc.). I was delighted to find out there is no surgery required. They make the stem cells into nose drops and apply them in your nasal cavity (painless). The stem cells then travel to the brain via two routes through the blood brain barrier. They did an MRI on test mice models and used a dye to see the stem cells. I was amazed to see how many stem cells were in the brain.
I am set up for a consultation with Dr. Jones next week. I am very excited about this treatment. Based on all the research Ive done this treatment sounds very promising.
Has anyone else done this procedure? From what Ive read there are no risks associated with this type of therapy. Your body will not reject the cells since they are your's and with no surgery involved this seems like a no brainer to me.
I will post results as they come. They said it's a ten week process total. It take 5-7 weeks to culture your cells. Then you fly to Mexico.
I forgot to mention there are three fees associated with this treatment. Enrollment fee ($6500), travel expenses and hospital expenses.
