Cirrhosis

Liver disease is a group of conditions of various origins that cause the liver to stop functioning properly. It can be caused by infections, excess alcohol intake, autoimmune inflammation, certain medications, or inherited metabolic disorders of iron and copper.

Patients with chronic liver disease develop cirrhosis; an irreversible scarring of the gland, which results in progressive liver failure and an increased risk for complications such as bleeding of the esophagus, retention of fluid and toxins in the body, and disorders caused by blood coagulation.

Liver cirrhosis can progress towards brain intoxication (hepatic encephalopathy) and other life threatening conditions. To date, only a liver transplant could save the life of patients affected by this disease.
However, recent tests on animals demonstrate that stem cells from bone marrow or the umbilical cord can help rescue liver failure and contribute to liver regeneration.

Bone marrow derived adult liver stem cells have the capacity to regenerate the liver, offering a potential alternative treatment to a liver transplant.

Clinical trials using autologous stem cells for patients diagnosed with severe liver disease have had encouraging results. Research shows that it is safe to mobilize stem cells from the blood marrow into the peripheral blood by collecting and re-infusing the stem cells after in vitro expansion.

For some conditions, especially autoimmune liver diseases, a combination of both peripheral blood stem cells and umbilical cord blood stem cells might be preferred as it increases the efficacy of the treatment to “reset” the immune system at a more normal level.

Cell therapy is combined with a holistic comprehensive approach. The entire treatment takes five days to complete and includes lifestyle and diet recommendations as well as personalized natural supplement prescriptions for immune system support.

Patients are followed up at regular intervals, post stem cell therapy to monitor their progress.
