What are stem cells?
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the unique ability to develop into various cell
types in the body. They serve as a foundation for the formation and repair of tissues
and organs. Stem cells are crucial for growth, development, and tissue maintenance.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into
a variety of cell types, such as osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells),
and adipocytes (fat cells). They play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration.
What are stem cells good for?
Stem cell therapy holds promise for various medical benefits, including:
1. **Tissue Repair and Regeneration:** Stem cells can differentiate into specialized cells,
aiding in the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues and organs.
2. **Treatment of Diseases:** Stem cell therapy may offer potential treatments for
conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and heart disease.
3. **Reduced Inflammation:** Stem cells have anti-inflammatory properties, which can
contribute to the reduction of inflammation in certain diseases.
4. **Orthopedic Applications:** Injuries to bones, joints, and cartilage may benefit from
stem cell therapy, promoting healing and tissue regeneration.
5. **Immune System Modulation:** Stem cells can modulate the immune system,
potentially providing solutions for autoimmune disorders.
It’s important to note that while there is promising research, stem cell therapy is still an
evolving field, and its widespread use is often subject to ongoing clinical trials and
regulatory approvals. Consultation with healthcare professionals is crucial for informed
Are stem cells safe?
Research suggests that umbilical-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) can be
safe when properly processed and administered. However, like any medical
intervention, the safety of using these stem cells depends on various factors, including
the source, processing methods, and the specific protocols followed.
Clinical trials and ongoing research contribute to our understanding of the safety and
efficacy of umbilical-derived MSCs. It’s important to consult with healthcare
professionals and adhere to established guidelines when considering the use of stem
cells for therapeutic purposes.
How long does the treatment last?
A basic treatment can be administered in an afternoon. The overall length of the
treatment depends on the specifics of what we’re doing.
What are exosomes?
Exosomes are small vesicles released by cells into the
extracellular environment. They play a role in cell-to-cell communication by carrying
proteins, nucleic acids (such as RNA), and other bioactive molecules. Exosomes are
involved in various physiological processes and contribute to the regulation of the
immune system, tissue repair, and development.
In the context of regenerative medicine, exosomes derived from stem cells are of
particular interest. They are explored for their potential therapeutic effects, promoting
tissue regeneration and modulating the immune response. Exosome-based therapies
are being researched for a range of conditions, including neurological disorders,
cardiovascular diseases, and inflammatory conditions.
What is the difference between exosomes and stem cells?
while stem cells are the source of differentiation and tissue regeneration,
exosomes act as communicators by transporting signaling molecules. Researchers are
exploring how these components can be harnessed individually or in combination for
therapeutic purposes.
What Our Clients Are Saying
The stem cells with Michael were one of the best things I have done. I had some severe health issues, damage no matter what I did, I couldn’t fix. I had viruses and hundreds of seizures, and afterward, I had issues speaking and thinking. After the stem cells, I could speak and think again. I’ve been Michael’s patient for a few years, and it was life-changing.
I am diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I got a treatment with stem cells from Michael Lande in September 2022. I started to see the result about 1-2 months later. My skin became visible firmer, tighter, and more contoured. I’ve noticed that my body lost the puffiness I’m used to, and my muscles got more robust. I added power yoga to my daily exercises, which I always avoided because I felt exhausted from any physical power activities before, and I could only do stretching regularly. Eventually, my hairstylist pointed out that I had so many new young hairs growing, so he was surprised and asked me what I had done with them. This is a big deal because living with Hashimoto’s disease means that you are only supposed to lose your hair with age more and more. Now, six months later, I have such a thick head of hair that I don’t remember if I ever had it.
I was a very successful salesman for 40 years. It is a highly demanding and rewarding lifestyle. I was constantly on the go, meeting with clients, managing existing ones, and overall loving life. Then in 2018, my whole life changed. Within a year, I had one major stroke followed by 3 TIA’s. It was accompanied by Severe depression and anxiety, even to the point of having suicidal thoughts. I went to 2 elective in-patient health centers to try and get a hold of myself, including the Gudin Center in Los Angeles. Because of the strokes, I also had issues with my eyesight and balance. I was frequently disoriented and got lost very easily. Everything got worse one day when I was in my apartment in Laguna Beach putting together a clothing rack when I lost my balance and fell. Luckily. Instead of hitting my face on the rack, I turned my body and landed on my shoulder. I severely injured my shoulder and eventually ended up in Tulum with Doctor Mike. I felt like I couldn’t move my arms when I got here. The rest of my body was not so good either.
I was still depressed, my anxiety was regular, and my balance was off. I was at the point where I needed personal assistance for normal daily activities. It was when I decided to come to Vortex Vitality Clinic for an Integrated Stem Cell Package. My first trip down here was in December and lasted for three weeks. I also received regular chiropractic, massage, and other therapies like Dis-inflammatory Intravenous drips and nebulized exosomes for my lungs. I returned home, and my surgeon informed me that I wasn’t a candidate for the surgery I had been considering. I then came down for another two weeks of treatment. I’m feeling much better now. My balance has improved. I can move my arms better and catch something somebody unexpectedly tossed at me. I couldn’t believe it!!! When this happened, it gave me hope! Overall I feel like it’s improved my quality of life in every area, and I plan on coming here more often to do more treatments.
