There are a variety of nervous system disorders. While these conditions differ in their cause, symptoms and course, most involve a degeneration of nerve tissue. Common disorders include:

1. Spinal cord injuries involving a break in the spinal cord prevent the brain from transmitting signals to nerves branching from below the break in the spinal cord. The higher the break in the spinal cord, the greater the loss of body function and control.    

2. Stroke involves the death of nerve cells in the brain due to a lack of oxygen. This is caused by the blockage (ischemic stroke, often due to a blood clot), or rupturing (hemorrhagic stroke) of one or more blood vessel in the brain. Depending on the area of the brain that is damaged, a stroke can cause death, coma, paralysis, speech problems and/or memory loss.  

3. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is caused by the body's immune system attacking and damaging the outer covering of nerve cells (myelin) in the brain and spinal cord, resulting in decreased nerve functioning. This leads to the progressive loss of motor control, sensation, and several autonomic nervous functions, eventually resulting in death. 

 4. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease) is caused by progressive deterioration of motor nerves in the spinal cord and brain, leading to a loss of muscle strength and coordination, eventually resulting in death. 

5. Parkinson's Disease is caused by progressive deterioration of the nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. Dopamine, one of the substances used to transmit signals from nerve to nerve, is normally produced in this area. The nerve deterioration caused by Parkinson's Disease reduces the amount of dopamine available, resulting in symptoms such as shaking (tremor) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination.     

6. Alzheimer's Disease, one form of dementia, is a progressive, degenerative brain disease in which the accumulation of abnormal structures such as dead and dying nerve cells and senile plaques cause nerve cell death. This results in impaired memory and cognitive function, as well as abnormal behavior.   

HOW STEM CELL TRANSPLANT THERAPY HELPS  

Although research is still underway, stem cells and stem cell treatment show promise in the treatment of a variety of central nervous system disorders. Our international clinics has successfully used neuronal stem cells to treat a range of neurological disorders. In most cases, Stem Cell Complex is administered via intravenous infusion. Where the condition is caused by a localized deterioration of nerve cell bundles, the treatment may serve to elicit regeneration at the site of damage. In cases where damage is widespread, the treatment seems to act systemically. Thus far, stem cell treatment has often proved highly effective. However overall results have been mixed, depending on the specific condition and individual patient.                            

With certain conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis, results have been apparent almost immediately after treatment. In other cases, improvements have taken longer to develop. In both cases, additional courses of treatment have sometimes been required to achieve maximum benefit, especially if the individual has had the disorder for a long time.               

In cases of spinal cord injury, stem cell therapy has increased sensation and movement, and improved bladder and rectal control. In these cases, the effectiveness of the treatment appears to depend greatly on timing; the sooner stem cell therapy is applied, the better the results and the prognosis.
