A degenerative disease results in cells, tissue, or organs diminishing over a period of time, commonly due to environmental and behavioral factors as well as genetic predispositions. Effects of degenerative diseases can range from something as small as a rash, to a life threatening condition such as heart disease. Regardless of the severity, degenerative diseases are nothing short of debilitating. However, stem cell therapy is now being used to help stop these torturous ailments from progressing, and can ever reserve the damage they’ve caused. Stem cells are different from other cells because they are undifferentiated, giving them the remarkable ability to differentiate into a specialized cell. Stem cells are also able to self-regenerate and renew through cell-division, even after long periods of inactivity. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell. The ability to regenerate and renew parts of the human body that were once diminishing is now possible through stem cell therapy! At MetroMD we tailor our stem cell treatments to each patient in order to achieve the most optimal result. We offer FDA banked cord blood stem cells for injection or IV drip administration, as well as bone marrow stem cell treatment, which we harvest from the upper iliac bone of the specific patient receiving the treatment.
