Stem cell therapy has been around us for the last decades. However, there are still many misconceptions about its functioning and origins. Today we will share the truth about the top 5 myths regarding SCT: Myth 1: Stem Cells Can Cure Anything False. Althought stem cells have been found benefitial for several diseases that were consideres “untreatable” that doesn’t mean that they are a magic pill.Stem cell therapy can potentially treat: Autism Alzheimer’sAutoimmune conditionsCOPDCrohn’s DiseaseHeart FailureKidney DiseaseLiver DiseaseLupusLyme DiseaseMultiple SclerosisNeurological conditionsNeuropathyOrtho and sports injuriesParkinson’sSpinal Cord InjuryStrokeTraumatic Brain Injury (TBI) The long term therapeutic properties of stem cells are still being investigated, and although there have been many studies completed showing their positive effects on patients, results cannot always be specifically guaranteed. The reason for this is because every body responds different, so while one patient can present some specific advancements, other can improve in other area. Myth 2: Only USA Has Good Quality Treatments False. Althought United States has great institutions, labs, and cell banks, that does not mean that other countries can not offer incredible quality as well. In fact, the reason why Rehealth is located in Cancun Mexico, is because the United States still has stringent regulations and laws against stem cell and cell derived therapies. On the other hand, the Mexican government regulates Stem Cell Therapy and allows its practice. The Cofepris is the government institution in charge of the health sanitary regulations, certifications, and safe practice measures. Licences, and strict regulations are required to operate. Myth 3: SCT Sources Are Not Ethical False. One of the significant misconceptions that stem cell therapy has had to overcome theis the belief that all stem cells are embryonic (sourced from a fetus), which is not true. Most stem cells used in a clinical setting are derived from bone marrow, adipose or harvested umbilical cord tissue. These forms of stem cells are not sourced from embryos and thus do not carry a negative moral connotation. Myth 4: Umbilical Cord Stem Cells are not “Live” Cells False. The tissue found inside donated umbilical cords is called Wharton’s Jelly and contains millions of youthful, undifferentiated stem cells. Stem cells are grown in a cell media culture, which allows the cells to replicate and produce higher numbers over a few generations; this is called cell expansion. This process can turn a few million stem cells into billions, ready for use in treatments. Myth 5: Stem Cells Might Be Rejected By Your Body Since adult stem cells, such as fat derived stem cells, are derived from the person’s own body, there is no risk of rejection or infection.On the other hand, allogeneic stem cell therapy, when properly expanded, harvested and certified as mesenchymal stem cell, should be positive and negative to some markers. Real mesenchymal stem cells are extremely safe and usable for diffferent applications.
