Parkinson’s Disease: An involuntary dance

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system characterized by hand tremors, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination. Although the exact cause is still unknown, toxicity is believed to be the main culprit.

Why the toxicity?

Cells in the brain, called neurons, are responsible for producing dopamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates movement. In Parkinson’s disease, these dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra die due to the accumulation of abnormal proteins.

Usual treatments

Conventional treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving the patient’s quality of life. Some of the most commonly used methods include

Medications: Levodopa, Carbidopa, dopaminergic agonists, anticholinergics, etc.
Physical therapy: Exercises to improve flexibility, balance, and coordination.
Speech therapy: To improve articulation and swallowing.
Surgery: Deep brain stimulation in advanced cases.

Xtend Optimal Health Way

• Search for the root causes and conditions of Parkinson’s. Create a personalized short and long term program.
• Prepare the cellular environment prior to treatment.
• Receive Stem Cells Heal, recover and optimize with Stem Cells. Follow up, revise, improve and reiterate.
• Post-treatment action plan.

A new horizon: VSELs stem cells.

VSELs (Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells) are adult pluripotent stem cells with great potential for cell regeneration. These cells are found in the patient’s own bone marrow and adipose tissue, making them a safe, autologous option with a low risk of rejection.

How can VSELs help?

• Replace damaged neurons: VSELs can be reprogrammed to become dopaminergic neurons, replacing lost cells in the brain.
• Protect existing neurons: VSELs can release neurotrophic factors that protect dopaminergic neurons and stimulate their growth.
• Reduce inflammation: VSELs have anti-inflammatory properties that may help combat the chronic inflammation associated with Parkinson’s disease.
  A hopeful future
• Research using VSELs stem cells to treat Parkinson’s disease is still in the experimental phase, but early results are promising. Improvements in patients’ mobility, muscle stiffness and quality of life have been observed.
