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)
    • PMS syndrome
    • Menopause syndrome
    • Pelvic congestion
    • Nocturia (night time frequent urination)
    • Poor energy.
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:

Substance

Function

Human Growth Hormone  (HGH)

Insulin -like Growth Factor (IGF-1)

Growth Factors

Corticotropin releasing Hormone (CRH)   

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)

Anti-inflammatory effect

Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH)

Releases Sexual Hormones

Interleukin - 6  (IL-6)

1.      B cell differentiation factor (Hirano et al 1986).
2.      Citotoxic T cell differentiation factor(Takai et al
3.      Hepatocyte Stimulating Factor (Gauldie et al )
4.      Nerve differentiation Factor (Satoh et al 1988).
5.      Promoter and mediator of Natural Immunity.

Inlerleukin- 10 (IL-10)

Down regulates cellular activation. Inhibits production of pro-inflammatory cytokins by monocytes and    macrophages

Interferon-alfa
Interferon- beta
Interferon- gamma

Antiviral and antitumor activities, Activates macrophages. Enhances citotoxic lymphocyte  and Natural Killer cell activity.

Tumor Necrosis Factor

Antitumor activity

Dynorphin

Endogenous  Opiate

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor

Angiogenesis

Inhibin, Activin and Follistatin

Regulatory proteins; Growth Factors; Immune Factors

Hepatocyte Growth Factor

Mesenchyme-ephithelial interactions

Carboxylesterases

Detoxification and metabolic activation of various drugs, environmental toxicants and carcinogens

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.
