After 20+ years of Stem
Cell Research, there have been remarkable medical breakthroughs... it's
estimated that we'll have them available in the USA
within the next 10 years.
Surgical Travels has them available NOW...
We try to stay on the cutting edge of every
new medical technology on a worldwide scale, and more
times than not,
those innovations first become available outside of the USA. Stem
Cell Research (and now treatments), has been going on for many years. It
was first thought that only Embryonic Stem Cells could be used, but today
technology allows a patient to use their own stem cells, and never have a
rejection.
The most remarkable development in stem cell research today
(and one of
the most remarkable in all of medicine) is that "Adult" stem
cells can
be harvested from the very body that is diseased, and in a laboratory
process, their regenerative gene (stem cells) can be literally "switched on".
Then they are introduced intravenously back into
the patient, one session per week over a period of 4 to 12 weeks,
depending on the disease. THIS treatment has had remarkable results in
patients with complete paralysis and muscular degenerative diseases,
cancers, heart disease, Alzheimer. Autism, and the research goes on...
The future is even brighter than
that... laboratory tests (this is hard to believe,
but check out the videos below) are actually growing back organs in
laboratories - perfect replacement organs... and it has proven to grow
back limbs. Even the US Army has invested $42 Million for research
and treatment on veterans that have been injured in Iraq and
Afghanistan. This
is NOT hocus-pocus medicine... it's very real !
Private companies are funding research in
dozens of United States Universities, and in countries such as India,
China, South Africa, Panama, and even Mexico, and partnering with
accredited medical facilities where stem cell research
can be used in actual patient procedures.
Annually, THOUSANDS of Americans and seeking these treatments, and
unfortunately, there are many unethical opportunists in the practice...
but Surgical Travels has relationships with only the best !

to see the CBS News Video on

(Note: This story was initially produced for 60
Minutes, however CBS found it more appropriate
to run it on their Sunday morning news show... )
As with anything this remarkable, there are already scams
and exaggerations that can lead
to false hope. This treatment procedure is NOT for everyone... a patient
must have un-infected stem cells available for harvesting either in
their blood, fat tissue, or bone marrow. The procedures are still
experimental, and though many short term results have proven remarkable,
no long term study information is available. The work that has been done
however, has produced remarkable results, and this procedure is a
viable and effective alternative for many who have little hope with more
traditional treatments.
