Stem cell research has been a subject of debate for years. Thankfully, the vast majority of people today are in favor of the use of stem cells. This is in stark contrast to the public’s attitude two decades ago. The change in public opinion is largely owing to the positive results of stem cell therapy. It has proven an effective method of combating a variety of diseases and disorders. In doing so, it has given countless people a new lease on life. At Acupuncture Stem Cell, we are proud providers of stem cell therapy in Santa Monica.
What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are essentially the foundation for all other cells in the body. They provide the materials from which brain cells, bone cells, blood cells, and other specific cells develop. Stem cells are also capable of self-renewal. This means they can be divided to create more stem cells, which themselves can mature into different cells to meet the body’s requirements.
Stem cells are broken down into two categories. First, we have adult stem cells. These can be found in adult fat, bone marrow, and other mature tissues. Adult stem cells are limited in what they can do. They are most effective when mimicking nearby cells. While they can be used to replace or repair cells from which they are further removed, adult stem cells aren’t nearly as versatile as their alternative. This brings us to the second category of stem cells: embryonic stem cells. When controversy arises from the use of stem cells, it is generally embryonic stem cell therapy which is the cause. This is because embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos, generally of between three to five days in age. The great advantage of embryonic stem cells is their flexibility. Because they have not had the opportunity to mature, embryonic stem cells can be manipulated to become any form of cell.
How We Utilize Them
At Acupuncture Stem Cell, we utilize recent advancements made in stem cell research to provide our clients with effective and comprehensive treatment. Our QiLaser Guided Stem Cell Therapy program uses finely tuned lasers to escort stem cells to the damaged area of a patient’s body. From here, the stem cells are held in the targeted area to promote swift integration. After a brief period of time, they merge with the surrounding tissue to become blood cells, brain cells, bone cells, or whatever form of cell the patient is in need of. Through our stem cell therapy, we can combat a number of illnesses, including congestive heart failure.
