Lung Disease Is Treatable Thanks To Adult Stem Cells
Release date: 11/30/2009
Many patients with lung disease, be it COPD, Emphysema, or Pulmonary Hypertension are told by their doctors that their condition is untreatable other than some medication that will help control their symptoms.
Lung Disease Is NOT Untreatable!
Many patients with lung disease, be it COPD, Emphysema, or
Pulmonary Hypertension are told by their doctors that their condition is untreatable other than some medication that will help control their symptoms. Their doctors say that their lungs will never get better. However, thanks to stem cell research using adult stem cells, lung disease patients now have a chance to improve their condition.
Glenna Irwin- Lung Diseases Kept Her From Singing
Take the case of Glenna Irwin. Glenna has
COPD, Emphysema, Pulmonary Hypertension, and
bronchiectasis. Glenna loved to sing in her church choir. However, her list of lung diseases kept her so short of breath that she was unable to continue with her love. Even walking without becoming short of breath was too much for her.
Stem Cell Therapy In The Dominican Republic
Then, Glenna found Dr. Zannos Grekos, a Florida cardiologist, who is also a Science Advisory Board member of the Repair Stem Cell Institute who treats patients with their own adult stem cells in the Dominican Republic. Glenna eventually went to the Dominican Republic for the treatment and therapy and she is happy she did. From the stem cell news article:
Glenna believed that she may have found the answer to her “incurable” lung problems. Glenna noticed a big improvement in her condition two days later, when she was able to walk through the Miami airport without stopping for breath. A week later, she was able to sing in her church choir again. Just eight weeks later, her pulmonologist confirmed that her lung function was much improved.
Stem Cell Process Explained
- Blood is drawn from the patient's arm, similar to a blood donation
- The stem cells are then separated from the blood and then multiplied
- Then, the adult stem cells are implanted into the pulmonary artery using a catheter in a noninvasive procedure- no surgery is needed!
Other Stem Cell Success Stories
We previously featured Barbara Mckean, a COPD, Emphysema patient who is now off oxygen thanks to this stem cell treatment. Since a patient's own stem cells are used, there are no side effects from a person's own cells. This is a safe therapy.
