S “Stem cell treatment performs better, and certainly more safely, than pharmaceutical drugs for a great number of disorders.” — Dr. Chadwick C. Prodromos, MD
tem cell treatment (from adults, not embryonic or fetal) is incredibly safe and effective for a wide variety of disorders, including MS, arthritis, autism, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, ALS, spinal cord injury, ED and Peyronie’s disease, chronic kidney disease, spine/back disorders, lupus, retinal disease, lung disease, and many more. The FDA is oriented toward pharmaceutical drugs and, unfortunately, overly restrictive FDA regulations have driven almost all effective stem cell treatment out of the US since the FDA began regulating biologic tissue in 2005. Active clinics include our Prodromos Stem Cell Institute (www.thepsci.com) in Antigua, and others in Panama, The Caymans, Mexico, Colombia, and Costa Rica. Stem cell treatment is actively fostered in Asia—notably in South Korea and China, where groundbreaking research work is being done. Stem cells are occasionally available in small studies in the US that are very restrictive, difficult to get into, and include placebo groups.
Treatment Safety
Stem cell treatment performs better, and certainly more safely, than pharmaceutical drugs
for a great number of disorders. Because stem cells have been adapted through evolution to heal damaged tissue, they have no toxicity to our bodies, unlike pharmaceutical drugs. The stem cells used are called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Whether your own cells, those derived from donated umbilical cords after full-term Caesarean sections, or from other adults, there is no rejection of the cells. A paper we published in a respected peer-reviewed medical journal last year found no reported serious adverse events from joint injections of MSCs. Additionally, we are currently wrapping up a study that also shows no serious adverse events from intravenous use—the primary mode of stem cell administration. The provider must be qualified and experienced, as adverse events can occur from any treatment if it is improperly performed.
Treatment Methods
We provide intravenous stem cell treatment for MS, autism, kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other disorders. Infusion takes under an hour and in most cases the patient feels nothing. Occasionally patients will feel flushed, have
