There is no longer any doubt that intravenous administration of umbilical cord blood can bring tangible benefits to children and adults with disorders of the nervous system (ASD, cerebral palsy, cerebral palsy, organic brain damage, etc.). This is evidenced by the results of international and our own clinical studies.
However, parents often do not understand the difference between umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation and intravenous cord blood administration for the treatment of neurological diseases?
First of all, let’s explain a number of terms about stem cells:
- Stem cells from umbilical cord tissue are called mesenchymal stromal cells or MSCs.
- Stem cells from umbilical cord blood are called hematopoietic stem cells or HSCs.
They give rise to all blood cells and immune cells. This allows the use of HSCs to restore normal blood function lost as a result of disease: leukemia (blood cancer), pernicious anemia, etc.
At the same time, for treatment, HSCs must “populate” the patient’s body. Therefore, before transplantation, the patient’s own hematopoietic cells are “killed” with high doses of chemotherapy, and then hematopoiesis is restored using healthy HSCs from donor cord blood, which engraft and create a new permanent immune system.
Treatment with cord blood for disorders of the development of the nervous system is a completely different technique that provides new additional resources to the body for its restoration!
The patient does not need a course of aggressive preparation. Cord blood cells are used as a unique “living elixir”.
They will launch a whole cascade of restorative reactions in the patient, including activating the formation of new healthy nerve cells, “teaching” diseased cells how to reprogram themselves to restore and interact correctly with each other, returning normal function to tissues and organs.
Then the donor cells will leave the body. Therefore, the DNA of the donor and the patient does not mix and there is no risk of rejection or development of cancer! This is why biotherapy is unique, effective and safe!
