Heretofore, there has been no effective treatment for Parkinson’s disease - except replacing dopamine with L Dopa, which has onerous side effects, including the untreatable movement disorder tardive dyskinesia. There has also been no effective treatment for Alzheimer’s or Lewy body dementia, nor essential tremor - which often leads to PD and dementia. While Beta blockers can help essential tremors, but they do not eliminate them and have side effects. There is also no effective treatment for hearing loss or tinnitus. This article describes exciting early results using exosomes (tiny vesicles secreted from stem cells) with which we have evidence of helping all of these problems.

Patients with chronic pain are often forced into back surgery as a last resort. Back and neck surgery, however, have a high failure rate for back and neck pain, a high incidence of often serious complications, and when they fail, there is often no way to salvage a good result and relieve pain. Stem cells derived from umbilical cords (not embryonic or fetal) fight inflammation and help tissue heal. Properly used, they are completely safe for treating back and neck pain, with no serious adverse effects.

Mesenchymal stem cells, which are isolated from umbilical cords donated by mothers after term cesarean sections (NOT fetal or embryonic), have remarkable properties to stimulate tissue health and growth and decrease inflammation. These properties can be used to thicken hair with simple scalp injections.

Virtually all human diseases and degenerative processes are mediated by inflammation. While inflammation is a necessary part of healing, unwanted or excessive inflammation results in stroke, heart attack, and the progression of cancer, as well as all autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Stem cells are evolutionarily developed and genetically programmed to help heal our body and resist inflammation - and all its attendant disease processes.
