Stem cell treatment of Diabetes mellitus type 1 & 2
Diabetes type 1
The autoimmune reaction of the body to the pancreatic beta cells in the islets of Langerhans and the resulting destruction of these beta cells, cause an immediate insuline deficiency, resulting in type 1 diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a degenerative disease, which is traditionally treated using insuline injections. These injections replace the missing hormone, but the complications can be far-reaching. Hyperglycemia is a common contributor to a number of complications like
•Heart and vascular diseases
•Eye and kidney complaints
•Poor vascularisation
•Damage to nerve cells (neuropathy)
•Diabetic feet
•High susceptibility for infections
•Erectile penile dysfunction
Diabetes type 2
Type 2 diabetes used to be known as maturity onset, or non-insulin dependent diabetes. Although type 2 diabetes typically affects individuals over the age of 40, today it occurs at an increasingly younger age, especially in people who have a family history of diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is by far the most common form, affecting 85 - 90% of all people with diabetes. Experts estimate that nearly one-third of people who have type 2 diabetes don't even know it. If the condition is left uncontrolled, the consequences (like with diabetes type 1) can be life threatening.
The Xcell-Center Diabetes Mellitus treatment
Our innovative adult stem cell therapy with autologous stem cells (originating from your own body and being reimplanted) is unique in Europe and fights type 1 and type 2 diabetes at its roots, reducing hyperglycemia and consequently the abovementioned complications.
The stem cells are first collected from a patient’s bone marrow, extracted from the hipbone (iliac crest) then implanted back into the body days later. Prior to re-implantation of the cells, the bone marrow is processed in one of our labs, where the quantity and quality of the stem cells is also checked.
These re-injected stem cells have the potential to transform into multiple types of cells and are capable of regenerating damaged cells such as pancreatic beta cells. Our innovative stem cell treatments use the self-healing potential of each patient’s own body to stimulate regeneration or repair. And since the implanted cells are autologous, there is practically no chance an immune reaction will follow.
Results
In the bar graph below you can see the results of a survey of 23 of our diabetes (type 1 and type 2) patients, results up to January 2008. The survey was conducted one to six months after the treatment.
•Three out of 23 patients reported no change in use of medication or feeling of well-being after the treatment.
•Ten out of 23 patients reported a reduction of 25% - 50% of use of insulin and/or oral anti-diabetics and a perceived improvement of well-being. Their HbA1c level was the same or had improved (lowered).
•Ten out of 23 patients reported a strong improvement, with a more than 50% reduced use of insulin and/or oral anti-diabetics. No severe hypoglycemia was reported. Some patients reported a closed leg ulcer. Their HbA1c level was the same or had improved (lowered). They reported a big perceived improvement of well-being and an almost complete absence of pain.
•No patients reported a measurable or perceived deterioration of the quality of their life (regarding usage of medication, pain or feeling of well-being).
Of these 23 patients, nine suffered from (poly)neuropathy. The following bar graph shows that one patient felt a reduction of neuropathy, while eight patients felt a marked reduction of their neuropathy, being almost or entirely pain-free.
Cost
The cost of the treatment depends on the method of cell application. An XCell-Center doctor will evaluate the medical records and blood work of a prospective patient to determine which application method would be most appropriate.
The price of the angiography treatment is 8,925 Euros.
The price of the direct injection treatment is 7,545 Euros. For More informatio clieck here

"Miacle"
In his first clinical trials, Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega, M.D., researcher on the effects of goji juice for years, discovered that “blood sugar levels decrease in 64 percent of the patients with diabetes, and more than half of them decreased or eliminated their medications.”
Here’s one testimonial:
I was taking 14 medications, and never anticipated the quality of my life improving. My blood sugar numbers were running in the 280s – the lowest would be approximately 250. After the tenth day of drinking goji juice, my blood sugar was 118, and that was not in a fasting environment, and was without any of the 14 medications that I would normally be taking. I’m a goji-for-life person. I can’t imagine taking it out of my daily routine.

According to medical research, goji causes the red blood cells to release oxygen to the cells more efficiently via an enzyme called 23BPG. This tends to make better use of the available oxygen.
Dr. Victor Marcial-Vega, M.D. has been studying the before- and after-effects of various treatments on the blood, with thousands of his patients.
He discovered that when the blood is too acidic, the red blood cells tend to clump together, and there is normally a higher level of bacteria in the blood as well.
Dr. Marcial-Vega discovered that in only 24 to 36 hours after drinking Goji juice, the blood became more alkaline, and the red blood cells had separated, making oxygen delivery to the cells more efficient. Some of his research was published in the August 2006 issue of Breakthroughs In Health magazine (vol. 1, issue 1), as follows:
He noticed that as the alkalinity changed, so did the reversal of all illnesses, including cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic renal failure, obesity, high cholesterol, arthritis and other illnesses associated with physical or mental discomforts, including attention deficit disorder, anxiety and depression.
“Blood sugar levels decrease in 64 percent of the patients with diabetes, and more than half of them decreased or eliminated their medications” (p. 13).
The ancient Himalayan healers were also aware thousands of years ago that people were much healthier, stronger, had more endurance, and even lived longer when they consumed goji.
A well-known story is told of Li Qing Yuen, a Chinese man born in 1678, who lived to be 252 years old! His life span has even been verified by scholars, who found that “each day he consumed a ‘soup’ made of the Goji berry.”
And like with most natural products, there are no unpleasant side-effects associated with normal use.

Prevention Research in South Asia.
India is facing a diabetes epidemic with around 35 million diabetics suffering from the disease, with approximately 30% of these likely being undiagnosed cases.
Ramachandran and his team studied 531 adults aged 35-55 years with impaired glucose tolerance, and divided them into four groups:
1.a group that received 250 mg metformin tablets twice a day;
2.a lifestyle modification group which was directed to exercise every day for a minimum of 30 minutes, plus given dietary instruction;
3.a group that was given both of the above interventions (metformin and lifestyle modification); and
4.a control group that was given standard health-care advice.
The study participants were monitored at regular intervals, over a 3-year period.
The study revealed that “Lifestyle modification was the most cost-effective intervention, followed by metformin.”
However, this “prevention” approach merely postponed the onset of diabetes, rather than prevent it, according to Ramachandran.
A far better approach is to simply solve the underlying cause of diabetes, since this has been proven to not merely postpone the disease, but to completely reverse it in over 80% of diabetics.
Unfortunately, such a strategy doesn’t seem to fit the current medical paradigm of “treating” or “controlling” diabetes. Could this be because it’s far more profitable to keep treating the ongoing symptoms of diabetes for the rest of the diabetic’s (dramatically shortened) life?!
Major Research report
Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis recently reported a “major development” in the search for a cure for diabetes.
The research doctors report they have successfully transplanted embryonic pig pancreas into diabetic monkeys, and within weeks the monkeys showed dramatic improvement in insulin production.
Dr. Marc Hammerman of Washington University says, “They are a lot healthier. We’re very close to being able to cure them. So if this is carried forward it is a cure for diabetes, potentially juvenile diabetes and adult onset diabetes. That’s huge.”
Additionally, Dr. Hammerman also says the transplants were done without the need for risky immune suppression drugs that prevent rejection, and that more research on monkeys is needed.
What does this mean for diabetics today?
First of all, human trials are still at least five years away. Full approval would be yet another 4-7 years — or longer — assuming those human trials prove effective and problem-free.
And secondly, most diabetics simply cannot afford to wait that long… especially since about 80% of diabetics can already reverse their diabetes by using far safer, less expensive, and already-proven treatments.
