WHAT IS THIS THERAPY FOR?
Stem cell therapy
The fact that PST (placenta /
stem cell therapy) is very non-specific in nature makes it look like it
is the "new panacea" about healing with the lack of credibility it
involves. BUT as the very well documented :
- exercise ,
- good nutrition
- taking anti-oxidants
are also non- specific and are
recommended for many different conditions, because they impact the most
basic systems in our body:
- the immune system
- hormonal system
- circulation
systems
the Placenta Stem cell Therapy optimizes those systems and can be used for many
conditions. According to our experience since 1991,
we have found that this therapy is very effective for the following
conditions:
GENERAL INDICATIONS:
- Chronic fatigue
- Stress & anxiety
- Insomnia; memory problems
- Prior or after a big surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy
- People that want to keep their body and mind in top condition.
- To improve the quality of life of patients with cancer.
- Prevention and treatment of Geriatric conditions like senile dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
- Degenerative diseases like Osteo-arthritis of knees, hips and back areas.
- Other ailments including Retinitis Pigmentosa, Cerebral Palsy or Epilepsy.
IMMUNE SYSTEM CONDITIONS:
- Auto-immune diseases, like Rheumatoid
arthritis, Generalized or Discoid Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis,
Auto-immune Hepatitis, Dermatomyositis, Psoriasis and Muscular Dystrophy.
- Chronic infections like AIDS, Hepatitis C, Lime disease, Tuberculosis, etc.
- When the immune system is down because of steroid therapy, cancer therapy or depression.
CIRCULATION:
- Arteriosclerosis, High Blood Pressure, Poor vein circulation.
- Tinnitus, Chronic dizziness.
- Complication in patients with Diabetes: Kidney insufficiency, peripheral neuropathy
- Migraine/tension headaches.
HORMONAL SYSTEM:
- In men:
- Sexual dysfunction
- prostate problems
- diminished libido
- poor energy
- In women:
- Dry skin (premature aging)
- Nocturia (night time frequent urination)
Results
or benefits of this technique will vary according to the patient's
condition and level of deterioration. This is not a cure although
it can put certain conditions in a state of remission.

WHY Placenta / Stem Cell Therapy (PST)
The effects
of the implantation of term human placenta have been known for more than 25
years in Europe, but there were very few ways to explain the results of
it until recently that the content of the placenta was discovered.
They not only found the HGH and IGF-I but many more hormones, growth
factors and powerful immune system substances (listed below) that
would explain the healthy, fast and amazing
results that are achieved with this therapy. And to even try to replace them
one by one would be terribly expensive and almost impossible to get in the same
"package" as the placenta organ.
Here
is a list of the
substances that have been found in the placenta tissue at the term of
the
pregnancy along with the function. The presence of these
substances and their function is well documented, especially by
the Placenta
International Journal, a very scientific and serious magazine that
publishes all discoveries about Human Placenta every two months:

The Placenta has numerous
Neuropeptides: Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), Calcitonin Gene-related
Peptide (CGRP), Somatostatin,Mmet-enkephaline, Helodermin and Substance P-like,
Endothelin-1, Eritrophyotin (for bone marrow stimulation) and many more.
Some of these substances
have been recently produced by international labs like HGH for longevity
purposes and recently Tumor Necrosis Factor was synthesized to treat some
cancers. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor is also been used for the the
therapy of angina pectoris. Interferon has been used for a while to treat
patients of Hepatitis C.
As you can see Biological
Products are having a tremendous impact in Medical care and they are a source
of political issues, especially the stem cells from the embryo, given the moral
and ethical implications.
It is now of common medical
knowledge that the use of umbilical cord blood for the treatment of leukemia or
lymphoma, replaces in some cases the bone marrow transplantation because of the
content of stem cells contained in it. In 2001, an American company discovered
that the human full term placenta has 10 times more the amount of stem cells
than the blood of the umbilical cord. This is a wonderful breakthrough because
we don't really need to kill an embryo in order to get the stem cells.
The Placenta comes after
a beautiful and healthy baby was born through a cesarean section in order
for the placenta not to be contaminated with bacteria from the normal vaginal
path.
PROCEDURE: One
of the great advantages in our clinic is that Dr. Gonzalez has
developed a unique methodology where each patient is treated according
to the condition to be treated. Local anesthesia is used most of
the time and very tiny and precise incisions are made in certain
areas decided at the time of the consultation with Dr. Gonzalez. The
powerful tissue is placed under the skin and closed with one stitch.
For the next six months to a year, the tissue is slowly
integrated and reabsorbed by the body. The whole procedure takes less
than 40 minutes. This is an office procedure and should not limit your
daily activities.
The placenta is
obtained from a healthy young mother that has to meet very particular
and rigorous screening test. The method to obtain it has to be
according the best standards, by qualified personal and supervised by
Dr. Gonzalez. The organ donation tests
and other tests are performed so sterility is guaranteed (PCA-HIV, VDRL,
IGM-TORCH, HBVAg. HACV-ag). (click here for a copy of sample laboratory results). That is why we are proud to claim this method of Placenta therapy is effective, simple, long lasting, non-toxic and risk
free.
We also use these important
Alternative Medical treatments:
Neural Therapy, a German therapy that uses
Procaine and other local anesthetics in acupuncture points.
- Pharmaco-acupuncture, a new way of working with the
acupuncture points by injecting B-complex vitamins and different
kinds of herbs in the acupuncture points.
- Cell Therapy,
a Swiss therapy that uses cells, to deal with degenerative
conditions. This is a great alternative to work on specific areas
in the body like arthritis in the knees or back, trigger points in
fibromialgia, rheumatica, etc. It is made with thousands of Human
cells with a proprietary solution. A mixture of this is injected into
very specific areas, under the skin, around the affected area, after
the acupuncture session. In time, it regenerates the area with a
remarkable difference in stopping the pain and degeneration process.
Placenta / Stem Cell Therapy (PST) has an Impact in Three Major Biological Systems:
IMMUNE SYSTEM: (IMMUNOMODULATING THERAPY)
The
scientific community is focusing much attention on this complex system
because so many illnesses result from aberrations in this area. These
are the auto-immune diseases (Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Multiple
sclerosis etc.) Many conditions like tuberculosis (TB), shingles or chronic infections
start when the Immune system is down because of many conditions
like stress, steroid therapy, cancer therapy, or AIDS..
PST
provides all the substances listed before, without the toxicity due to
their perfect balance in an organ (placenta) that is not
designed or manipulated by humans. These substances, along with
the increase in "Natural Killer" (NK) cells - these cells
are responsible to attack cancerous or infected
cells while they are circulating in our body - reset the Immune
system the way it was when we were younger.
If this
system is in top condition, the degenerative illnesses are delayed or
stopped, the auto-immune conditions are helped and chronic infections
are better controlled. The fact that the immune system is "awake" is
the reason this therapy is now considered a preventative measure
against cancer. Some people call it a Cancer Vaccine. The patient that
already has some form or level of cancer can include this
biological therapy as part of his repertory of treatments, parallel to
the conventional protocol for cancer.
HORMONAL SYSTEM:
Studies
done in men and women have shown that after the placenta is implanted,
the hormonal profile is reset to the way it was years before.
In men,
there is a noticeable improvement of the initial rates of male
hormones, and a new glandular balance that gives more energy and
increases the libido. Recent discoveries about Prostate enlargement
involve an alteration in sexual hormones as the main reason the
prostate grows out of control. This explains why the PST can help this
condition tremendously.
In
women, the treatment appears to be an interesting alternative to
Estrogen Replacement Therapy, given that there is a conversion of minor
androgens to estrogen, and an increased secretion of progesterone
without the possible side effects.
The fact
that the placenta has so many Growth factors, explains why the patients
referred all the signs of anti-aging effect described as results
of HGH replacement therapy, Increased resistance to common illnesses,
higher energy levels, better memory, increase of muscle mass and
diminished visceral fat, preserved or improved bone density, lowered
blood pressure, increased exercise performance, etc.
CIRCULATION SYSTEM:
As we all know, the most
important nutrients that the body needs to be alive and healthy are,
Oxygen and Glucose, and those are delivered by millions of blood
vessels all over the body. With aging the circulation becomes less
efficient, and if you add other factors like smoking, being sedentary,
diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other lipids, the
result is that very important organs like the brain, heart, skin and
ultimately the whole body suffers the effects of that inefficiency:
poor memory, drier and paler skin, no energy and basically all
the signs of aging appear. One of the first signals of improvement with
this therapy is that the skin color becomes pinker and warmer after
just two or three days of the implants, and the skin texture is better
in just 3 to 4 weeks. That effect could be explained because of the
Vascular Growth Factors that the placenta has along with the millions
of Stem Cells.
