Prof. Shimon Slavin, MD, the longtime bone marrow transplantation wizard and stem cell research guru at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem who retired recently to set up a Center for Cellular Therapy & Cancer Immunotherapy, and says his patients are not willing to wait until embryonic stem cells are available for implanting into humans.

Some patients with cancer, multiple sclerosis and other diseases were already beginning to benefit from using adult stem cells from relatives who were only partial matches or that were taken from the patients themselves before chemotherapy destroyed their immune systems.

Slavin said he had patients with diseases thought to be incurable but who had been disease-free for up to 20 years, adding that the technique could also benefit organ transplant patients.

Your RSCI is proud to add the world's #1 cellular therapist as a highly recommended treating doctor. It was 22 years ago when he declared at a cancer conference that cellular therapy was the future of cancer treatment. He was laughed off the podium. Today, when Shimon Slavin attends a conference, they genuflect at his feet. In 2001 he again made medical history by taking a doomed 3 year old "Bubble Baby" out of her bubble using cellular therapy. The paper he wrote in 2002 rocked the medical world. He pulls miracles out of his hat every month in his new facility.

If you have a serious disease (see next paragraph) email Dr. Slavin. I have no higher recommendation.

Dear Don:

We are considering patients with the following diseases:

• Solid tumors: cancer [best to be notified as soon as diagnosis is made so we can cryopreserve tumor cells and make the treatment plan to begin when tumor burden is low;
• Genetic diseases: severe beta thalassemia major; sickle cell anemia; Gaucher’s disease; etc.
• Deficiency syndromes: severe aplastic anemia; Fanconi’s anemia; severe combined immune deficiency (SCID); infantile osteopetrosis;etc.
• Autoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis; systemic lupus erythematosus; psoriatic arthritis; multiple sclerosis; inflammatory bowel diseases [Crohn’s disease; ulcerative colitis]; etc.
• Regenerative medicine: peripheral nerve injuries; spinal cord injury (SCI); brachial plexus injury; repair of cartilage disorders in the knees; peripheral vascular disease; reconstruction administered healing of complex bone fractures; and more in the near future..

The World-Leader in RSC treatments for neurological and autoimmune diseases:

No center in the world can match this conglomerate of hospitals for:

1. Number of Diseases treated, and
2. Number of Patients treated

They use only cells that actually work, disdaining embryonics and foetal cells for SCIENTIFIC reasons, not because of moral issues. That makes me and them an army of two shouting that argument.

Primary is autologous stem cells from the patient's own body. Second is fresh cord blood stem cells that are made to order.  These cord blood stem cells are never frozen as they believe that even a cryo freeze can lower the viability and quality of the Repair Stem Cells.

Recently, in response to dozens of stories in the press about Western patients being helped by Beike, the science company behind StemCellsChina.com, Western doctors try to give the impression that the miracles performed daily by Beike's doctors are "unproven." Our Chairman, Don Margolis, recently responded to one such article. Here is an extract:

As the article says, Beike uses both cord blood stem cells and autologous (from the patient) stem cells. They intentionally disdain embryonic stem cells, NOT for moral reasons but because as far as injecting them into sick humans goes, they are scientifically worthless. In that sense they are light years ahead of the West, whose own anti-scientific standards include ignoring what works and fighting for funding for what does not and can not work, i.e. implanting embryonic stem cells into the bodies of sick humans.

The article's headline calls Beike's work unproven. They are unproven only by those whose standards force our patients to either trek across the globe for treatment or stay home and be told that, according to those standards, their suffering is untreatable. I prefer to believe that it is those self-serving anti-scientific Western standards which are unproven, not Beike's treatments.

Here is the long list of stem cell treatments offered by Beike:

Carlos and his TEAM of seven assistants have a record no one else in the world can even dream of matching for SCI, but there ARE some great researchers trying.

If you or a loved one has spinal cord injury, and is ASIA A or ASIA B, you may want to write Dr. Lima and describe the condition.

Keep one thing in mind: This stem cell therapy is about years of hard work AFTER the stem cell treatment. Some patients are simply not up to the commitment of REHABILITATION.

This ultra modern Five Star hospital was the first private heart hospital in Thailand. Headed by the esteemed Dr. Kitipan V. Arom, MD, co-founder of the famed Minneapolis Heart Institute (who also happens to be the Chairman of our Scientific Advisory Board), the team at Bangkok Heart has successfully treated more than 125 dying heart disease patients by using the patient's own Repair Stem Cells exclusively, certainly making them one the most experienced teams in the world.

Bangkok Heart was the first hospital in the world to treat private patients (not in a clinical trial) by directly injecting Repair Stem Cells into the heart muscle. These days, their team is also implanting Repair Stem Cells into the arteries of coronary artery disease patients as well. "Dr. Kit" is proud to lead his team and continue as one of the pioneers of Repair Stem Cell treatment today.

Dr. Kit has statistics on his results which he can share with you if you wish. Many of his patients have volunteered to give up their medical privacy and talk to new patients such as yourself if that is your need. If you or a loved one suffers from late-stage heart disease and you are running out of options, YOU yourself can contact one of the world's leading Repair Stem Cell treatment doctors just by sending Dr. Kit an email and outlining the diagnosis.

Fernandez Viña, MD (pronounced VEEN-ya) is one of the world's most prolific RSC researchers. His treatable diseases cover a wide range and he is a highly honored research cardiologist, interventional cardiologist and endovascular surgeon who is revered all the way to China (literally)!

He is, at the moment, the best hope for diabetics who would rather not opt for blindness, for amputation, for kidney failure, or a too-early death.

But his large list of accomplishments would take far too many pages to list here.

So let's settle for his personal list of stem cell treatments which are working in most cases.

• ALS- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
• Brain Conditions/Diseases
• Cardiovascular Diseases
• Cardiomyopathy
• COPD-Congestive Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Type 1 Diabetes
• Emphysema
• Heart Diseases
• Lung Conditions/Diseases
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Muscular Dystrophy
• Pulmonary Conditions/Diseases
• Pulmonary Fibrosis
• Stroke

For doctors who say that current stem cell therapies are "unproven," Dr. Fernandez Viña has the following response:

"How many patients must to be treated to say this is a cure? How many patients must die waiting for the word "cure?"

A lot of diseases are not totally cured with drugs but the laboratories talk about curing (HIV, Tuberculosis and a lot of malignant deseases). They say that the drugs "cure" but in reality the drugs improve the quality of life. Stem cells "cure" in the same sense. If a person is dying of diabetes and we improve the prognosis and he no longer needs insulin injections, we increase the C peptide, decrease the HbA1c, decrease protein in the urine, decrease the risk of amputation or kidney failure, in my book that is a "cure."

Dr. Zannos Grekos, MD, a cardiologist in Naples, FL has just opened an adult stem cell treating clinic in the Dominican Republic, a two hour flight from Miami. His specialty is Repair Stem Cell cardio-vascular treatments, but here's the full RSC list:

• Coronary Artery Disease
• Congestive Heart Failure
• Cardiomyopathy
• Peripheral Artery Disease
• Peripheral Vascular Disease
• Diabetes Type 2
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Pulmonary Fibrosis
• Emphysema

1. Thorough pre-testing, which shows him how to best perform #2:
2. Prepping the patient before the implant to maximize chances of success
3. Disdaining bone marrow cells for blood derived cells cultured in Israel because "They work better than anything I've seen, and yes, I know how expensive they are!"  
4. All other stem cell cardiologists (and there are hundreds of them) choose from two common but different methods of implanting the cells: direct injection into the heart muscle or catheter implant into the coronary arteries.  With a new, very expensive machine, he does both in one procedure!  "I have learned that a significant minority of patients do well after one implant but eventually need the other to get the full benefit.  Now they can get them both at once."
5. Finally, more important than most realize, is the post stem cell treatment testing and drug regimen.  His program includes 18 months of visits and testing, all in this one package.

It is expensive, but it is the only place in the world you can get the whole package--an accurate diagnosis, the best heart stem cells, the most complete protocol, and the most thorough post-treatment care---from one continuous source.

Everything is done in his Naples FL offices (a modern three story building) except implanting the Repair Stem Cells, which is done in the Dominican Republic.  He has taken what TheraVitae has created and transformed it into the best therapy for seriously ill heart patients anywhere. But that just begins to explain his ability to use what he has learned in miraculous (there is no other word) ways others can't even imagine.

The XCell-Center at the Institute of Regenerative Medicine in Cologne, Germany offers therapies for various indications using adult (repair) stem cell treatment, the first private institute in Europe accredited to do so. Medical experience, based on about 400 treatments (as of October 2007),shows positive results in most cases. Parallel to the therapies, the XCell-Center is working on scientific proof of the clinical data with the aim of making it available to medical experts.

The XCell-Center at the Institute of Regenerative Medicine in the Eduardus Hospital in Cologne brings together therapeutical use of autologous adult stem cells and medical research. It is the XCell-Center's mission

• to make the therapeutical application of autologous adult stem cells available at the highest medical level,
  
  
• to extend existing knowledge on the effect of autologous adult stem cells with the help of clinical studies, thus optimizing therapeutical use for a lot of diseases

The XCell-Center treats patients with their own endogenous adult stem cells. In actual fact, the XCell-Center is the first private institute worldwide to hold an official license for the performance of entire stem cell therapies. In accordance with German tissue law and the German Medicines Act, the XCell-Center has a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certificate for the extraction of bone marrow from the ilium, the production of peripheral blood stem cells, and the preparation and transplantation of stem cells.

In the XCell-Center, patients with various degenerative diseases are treated at the highest medical level. The Xcell-Center clinic currently treats patients with the following conditions and diseases:

• ALS- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
• Alzheimer's Disease
• Cardiovascular Diseases
• Cerebral Palsy
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Type 1 Diabetes
• Erectile Dysfunction
• Macular Degeneration
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Osteoarthritis
• Parkinson's Disease
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Stroke

An extract from a well thought-out article on the subject of "now" or "10-20 years later" for stem cell therapies--- by Dr. Cornelius Kleinbloesin, Managing Director of X-Cell:

Even if not all of the interactions have been conclusively researched to date, the status of the current medical insights has indeed reached a level that allows the non- hazardous treatment with adult stem cells and puts medical professionals in a position to assume responsibility for its use.

Given the proven treatment success of regenerative medicine, the question of whether more research is needed prior to therapeutic use has already been answered.

Those who nevertheless demand stem cell therapy be postponed until we know more about it are taking away patients’ rights to make their own decisions as they search for medical solutions – for the kind of help stem cell therapy does offer.

The Repair Stem Cell Institute couldn't agree more.
