Northeast, India Yet To Popularize Stem Cell Therapy To Combat Successfully Against Deadly Health Issues

Painful surgical knife, laser and radiation treatment are still ritually followed in major parts of India including North eastern states to combat over life threatening health issues as assured natural recovery process through stem cell therapy is not yet popular.

In US non-FDA approved stem cell treatment process on each disease is $10,000. Since its outcome is worth paying, people in US are more frequent to this process of cell infusion treatment at large due to which the charges for each course of treatment have been slashed from $10,000 slab to $8,000 and $7,000 low rate. In India stem cell treatment could cost around $ 12,000 but depending on varied cases demand the cost could vary high or low from the above estimated figure.

This therapy is done through bone marrow and umbilical cord blood cell transplant where transmuted stem cells do the repairing act. To give successful end result to the patient undergoing complicacy like spinal cord injury, Alzheimer disease, stroke, cancer and Parkinson disease through stem cell treatment.

Why stem cell treatment is the best alternative to surgery or other medical cure process?

• First it is a blood free treatment process where a patient can walk out soon from the hospital within few days after undergoing this advanced medical process unlike surgery.

• No fear of blood loss unlike surgery process which definitely enables a patient for fast recovery and averts other possible complicacy after the treatment.

How stem cell treatment is processed?

• It is an effective process where adult stem cells containing autologous mesenchymal and CD34+ components of bone marrow blood are extracted through sophisticated technology from the patient or any of his relative for successful end result. 

• Similar process of stem cell extraction from live saving human umbilical cord tissue (allogeneic mesenchymal) is also processed.

• Research study has shown that stem cell process is more effective when extracted from Umbilical cord blood rather than bone marrow as it contains rich cells that can morph well into patients’ blood cells to combat against varied contacted diseases.

• Substantial part about stem cell treatment process from umbilical cord blood is that it is very effective in recovering from life threatening diseases.

On what stem cell treatment is effective?

• Samples of extracted stem cells are used for treatment of spinal cord injuries, osteoarthritis, stroke, burns, macular degeneration, diabetes, heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Including cure of life threatening diseases through blood transmutation like cancer, leukemia, cardiac cases, metabolic disorder and sickle-cell anemia could be treated through this stem cell therapy.

• Stem cell treatment process is nothing but complete renewable of damaged cells of a patient through infusion of active suitable cell through sophisticated transplantation process into the tissues for effective natural healing.

Technology Insight

• STEMvision – To optimize count of hematopoietic colonies developed from four major sub-types of hematopoietic progenitor cells like BFU-E, CFU-E, CFU-G/M/GM and CFU-GEMM in 35 mm image frame within 30 seconds approx.

• RoboSep – Automatic identification, isolation and labeling of immune cell through robotic pipetting arm. The updated version of STEMCELL Technology enables segregation of more than four samples of cells at a time with possibility of exceeding even 16 samples.

In this big contribution the cell biologists, clinicians including geneticists play a vital role in harvesting appropriate stem cells from reliable sources for assured recovery of the patient.

In India, Apollo hospital which is pioneer in stem cell therapy for varied malignant and non-malignant diseases has extended hope in Northeast by establishing its unit in Assam at Guwahati capital city so that people can save time and expenditure on long distance travel to best medical destination to seek hope from such advanced treatment.

Already in Northeast, GNRC neurological treatment centre had implemented this technology in 2014 end on December. But still GNRC health unit of Assam need to further enhance its technology for resolving multiple cases to enhance peoples’ reach who cannot prefer far distance treatment. Till date GNRC remains solely the only unit in entire Northeast for stem cell processing where Apollo extension has further added hope of more sophisticated treatment.
