Cancer refers to a group of diseases characterized by an abnormal cell growth at the initial disease location that may spread to other locations in the body. Approximately 560,000 deaths in the United States were attributed to cancer in 2008.

Scientific evidence shows that one third of all cancers are related to lifestyle and environmental risk factors such as smoking, obesity, nutrition, infections, and exposure to toxins.

The use of stem cell therapy, in combination with classical therapeutic modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, is currently being developed for the treatment of several types of cancers.

Blood stem cell transplantation is now considered a viable alternative for patients suffering from blood cancers, especially when a donor cannot be found for allogenous (from another person) bone marrow transplant.

Studies in China have shown positive results in various hematological diseases, and the survival rate of patients treated with their own peripheral blood stem cells was better than those who received the conventional therapies alone. This was especially evident for diseases such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma. The conclusion of these studies is that our own peripheral blood stem cells collected through apheresis and injected back into the body after special treatment could improve the prognosis of malignant hematological diseases.

Similar results have been found in certain types of solid tumor cancers. Autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation appears to be a promising therapeutic modality for patients suffering from lung cancer, neuroblastoma (cancer of immature nerves that occurs in children), breast and ovarian cancer.

Cellulogix offers stem cell treatment for cancer with the collection of stem cells in peripheral blood through apheresis, a process that includes a reconditioning of cells and re-injection of the cells into the venous system.

Since behavioral and environmental factors play an important role in the development of cancer cells, cell therapy is combined with a holistic and comprehensive approach of the disease process. The entire treatment takes five days to complete and includes lifestyle and diet recommendations as well as personalized natural supplement prescriptions for overall health and immune system defense.

Follow-up and support is offered to all post stem cell treatment patients.
