The umbilical cord tissue is a rich source of stem cells that can help the treatment of many autoimmune diseases that would otherwise have required surgery or remained untreatable, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . Every year, millions of babies are born worldwide, and their umbilical cords amount to medical waste. This regenerative therapy is curbing this wasteful practice and making the best out of the stem cell-rich tissues. The many advantages of umbilical cord tissue cell therapy set it apart from some other types of preventative procedures. This article details everything you need to know about umbilical cord tissue cell therapy and how it can be of use to you or a loved one. What Are Umbilical Cords? - The umbilical cord is what connects a fetus to the placenta. It connects to the fetus from the abdomen and transports oxygenated nutrient-rich blood to keep the unborn baby alive and healthy, said Dr. David Greene . It also carries blood that has little nutrients and oxygen back to...

One of the first things most people want to know about regenerative procedures is how safe it is for them. Many people can’t believe that a procedure could offer so many benefits without excruciating invasive procedures. If you are in this category, this article will lay your fears to rest. It contains a detailed explanation of what regenerative procedures mean and the regulations, researches, and concerns about the cutting-edge medicine that is saving thousands from pain and inactivity. What is Regenerative Medicine? - Regenerative medicine is a medical procedure that seeks to replace deformed or diseased tissues, organs, cartilage, tendons, and even the whole immune system using the body’s natural healing agents, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . The human body is a complex network of not just organs and tissues but also hormones, proteins, and, most importantly, cells. These underappreciated components of the body facilitate the functions of our organs.  For example, melatonin h...

Have you ever had a splitting headache that lasted for several hours or days? You are fortunate if this headache stopped after you used medication or rested. Some people have to live with migraines for the rest of their lives. If you have ever had a migraine, you must understand that it is an excruciating condition that can hinder a person’s social, academic, and professional life, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . Now imagine the pain that people that suffer from chronic migraines have to bear. They experience excruciatingly painful headaches that last for several hours, days, and even weeks. In the United States, the condition affects women and children more than more, and about four million adults suffer from chronic migraines. Before the discovery of regenerative medicine, researchers had problems finding a suitable treatment for migraines. People living with the condition could only try their best to avoid things that trigger their migraines or rely on medications to suppress the p...

Regenerative medicine refers to therapies that are able to repair, restore and regenerate damaged tissues in the body. These therapies represent a significant advancement from traditional ones that only offer symptom relief as a proverbial ‘band-aid’, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . The revolutionary treatments have been in the limelight in recent years due to high-profile athletes such as Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods utilizing the restorative effects rather than undergoing surgery.   Regenerative procedures come in two forms. Those that require a biologic harvest from the patient (bone marrow or adipose tissue), or those that come from an external source (such as platelet-rich plasma,  amniotic fluid/membrane, and umbilical cord blood/tissue). Together with the specialists at R3 Stem Cell, who have clinics throughout the United States, we delve a little deeper into the various therapy forms and who they might suit best.  Fat and Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells: These...

Stoke is a relatively common occurrence in the United States. In fact, someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. This means that over 700,000 people in the United States have a stroke every year. While strokes and heart attacks are sometimes used by the general public interchangeably, there is a difference, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . A heart attack occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough oxygen. However, a stroke occurs when the brain is not getting enough oxygen. A stroke is a serious condition that can lead to death or permanent disability in some people. Fortunately, for those that survive a stroke, it is possible to see a full recovery in some cases. Strokes occur when the blood supply to the brain is blocked for a period of time. As a result, brain cells begin to die. Depending on where these cells are located in the brain, the body will have some kind of reaction, added Dr. David Greene. For example, if brain cells die in the area of the brain t...

Imagine you are brushing your teeth, and all of a sudden feel intense searing pain, worse than anything you have ever felt before. This is the reality of people who are suffering from trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia is a rare condition that primarily affects people over 50 years of age. It is considered one of the most painful conditions a person can experience and can be very difficult to diagnose since its symptoms overlap those of other conditions, added   Dr. David Greene Arizona . Unfortunately, there is currently no known cure for trigeminal neuralgia. Patients who develop the condition typically rely on treatment of painful symptoms, but will always live with the condition. The trigeminal nerve is in charge of carrying information from your face to your brain. Trigeminal neuralgia may start with small and short bouts of pain. But it typically increases to longer and more frequent bouts of pain. Little things like talking, chewing, applying makeup, and brushing you...

Joint replacement surgery is a relatively common procedure, especially amongst those who are older in age. As we age, our joints begin to break down due to wear and tear, or injury in the past. As a result of this breakdown, many patients begin feeling pain. While your first instinct may be to resort to surgery to help fix this pain, surgery is not always the answer, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . While surgery does work part of the time, there are also times where surgery does not remove the pain the patient is feeling.  In addition, surgery carries significant risks and potential side effects. As a result, most orthopedic specialists will recommend their patients do everything in their power to avoid surgery if possible.  Below are surgical alternatives for patients who are trying to push off surgery as long as possible. Rest: While rest may seem too easy to actually work, in many cases, joint pain is caused by overuse of the joint. This can be due to a particular sport s...

For the past 5 years and most especially in the past 2 years, the phrase “stem cell therapy” has been wildly flung, promoted, and popularized by the media. As Dr. David Greene Arizona mentioned, In most cases, these promotions and advertisements are in good faith as stem cell therapy has made quite the splash in the world of new useable and effective medical treatments, but it is wise to put in the research in order to make sure you receive stem cell therapy from the best and most reputable clinics. R3 Stem Cell Clinics stem cell therapy Phoenix Arizona has many other locations across the nation, and most recently, has begun operating overseas. These clinics have performed tens of thousands of successful procedures across the United States to provide patients with the best opportunity for healing and we have seen extraordinary results. These clinics use only the most effective harvesting and centrifuge methods to help patients receive the best possible stem cell therapy given to their...

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that is often overlooked by most people. Stem cell therapy often takes the spotlight when it comes to regenerative medicine options. While stem cell therapy is excellent and has a lot of potentials, platelet-rich plasma therapy also offers a lot of potential for patients suffering from various ailments, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . Platelet-rich plasma therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona can be of great help to many people who are not even aware of its benefits. Whether you are suffering from chronic knee pain, or simply want to look younger, platelet-rich plasma may be able to help you out. Platelet-rich plasma is made from blood. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that is made up primarily of water and proteins. This is a key component of the blood because it allows red and white blood cells to move easily throughout the entire body, added Dr. David Greene . Platelets are the components in the blood that help it to c...

Every day, people ask R3 Stem Cell if the regenerative biologics being used in treatment come from aborted fetuses (ABSOLUTELY NOT). As a world leader in stem cell therapies with over a decade of experience in offering safe and effective treatment, it is very important for R3 to educate prospective patients and their families on where the biologics are obtained. So here’s the skinny on the cells.   First of all, R3 Stem Cell has never used aborted fetuses for any of the treatment biologics. There are several reasons for this: It’s an ethical issue. However one feels about using aborted fetuses for either stem cell research or treatment, no one can deny it’s a polarizing discussion. Fetal stemcells may not be safe. I’ll discuss this below. While R3 Stem Cell has never used aborted fetal tissue for treatment, there are International stem cell clinics that do include it in their protocols. Why??? Allow me to explain.   Stem cells are not all the same. There are actually 2 broad ...

Heart failure is a serious medical condition in which the heart is unable to effectively pump blood throughout the body for its normal function. It has a wide range of structural, electrical, or functional causes. Common causes include cardiomyopathy, hypertension, heart valve problems, and coronary artery disease. Treatment for various types of heart failure depends on its underlying cause and severity and may include a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, implantable devices, and surgical procedures. Despite major advances in medicine over the past decades, CHF therapy options are underwhelming in the results they produce, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . CHF is still related to unacceptably high death rates. Current CHF treatment may improve symptoms and signs, reduce heart failure-related hospital admissions, and above all to improve a patient's survival, but there is no definitive cure. Stem cell therapy for CHF: Stem cells are the body’s own pluripotent cells that a...

Cell-based therapies, specifically ones that involve mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or extracellular vesicles, have become an effective tool in treating coronavirus. As multipotent and non-hematopoietic cells, MSCs can differentiate into various dermal lineages, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . Interestingly, they are present in different tissues of multiple sources that may range from many to fetal adult tissues.  Let’s plunge into the discussion to see what makes mesenchymal stem cells an excellent therapeutic strategy.   Mesenchymal Stem Cells A Therapeutic STrategy: As mesenchymal stem cells have proven benefits in regenerative medicines, they have become an excellent option to use as an effective cell-based therapy. It is because these powerful cells can regenerate and replace injured organs and tissues. However, there is no denying that the potential of MSCs is way beyond just offering tissue repair. They can deliver numerous positive outcomes and therapeutic utiliti...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a very common condition that affects many people throughout the United States. In fact, almost 23% of the population has been told at some point that they suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. It is a very painful condition that is considered a leading cause of work disability among adults in the United States, added Dr. David Greene Arizona . In addition, many people with rheumatoid arthritis find themselves limiting their social activities due to pain and experiencing a diminished quality of life. Fortunately, there are ways to manage rheumatoid arthritis and help improve a patient’s quality of life. Rheumatoid arthritis is considered an autoimmune disease. This is because it occurs when the body’s immune system attacks healthy joint linings. It tends to affect both sides of the body, not just one. And, in addition to affecting the body’s joints, other parts of the body may be affected as well such as the lungs, heart, skin, eyes, blood, and nerves. Many people wh...

Acute pancreatitis can cause a sudden onset of abdominal pain that does not go away over time. It can be caused by several factors, but the over usage of alcohol is a large contributor.  Dr. David Greene Arizona added that Stem cell therapy is now being explored as a treatment for patients suffering from acute pancreatitis pain.    What is Acute pancreatitis? - Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas. It is painful, develops quickly, and can, in some cases, be fatal. Some mild cases resolve without treatment, but severe, acute pancreatitis can trigger potentially life-threatening complications. The mortality rate ranges from less than 5% to over 30%, depending on how severe the condition is and if it has reached other organs beyond the pancreas.  The pancreas is a long, flat gland located behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. It produces digestive enzymes and hormones, which regulate how the body processes glucose, for instance, insulin. The most co...

ALS disease is named after New York Yankee first baseman Lou Gehrig who developed it in 1939. More formally known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a neurodegenerative disease of an unknown cause that is characterized by degeneration of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. It often moves very quickly from weakness in limbs to progressive paralysis and eventually, respiratory failure added Dr. David Greene R3 Stem Cell CEO. It typically occurs in the forties through seventies. is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It has been very difficult to find effective treatments for ALS. What are Stem cells? - Stem cells are the body’s own cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. These daughter cells either become new stem cells or differentiate into specialized cells (blood cells, brain cells, heart muscle, etc.) There are several sources of stem cells: Embryonic stem cells : come from 3 – 5 days old embryos. These are...
