Cannabinoids (CBD) Help Patients with Hard to Treat Muscle Spasticity From Multiple Sclerosis
Four out of five people with multiple sclerosis experience muscle spasticity. Muscle spasticity causes increased muscle tone, uncontrollable muscle contractions, and spasms. Like severe muscle cramps, muscle spasticity can be quite painful and is one of the most...
Mesenchymal Stromal Cells are Safe and Well-Tolerated in ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurologic disorder that causes muscle weakness, and disability. In ALS, nerve cells degenerate causing muscle weakness and atrophy. ALS affects the nerve cells that connect the brain to the spinal cord (upper motor...
Stem Cells Show Promise for Helping Alzheimer’s Disease with Neurodegenerative Disease via Multiple Mechanisms
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, and though its prevalence is growing, there are currently no medical interventions that are able to reverse or slow the disease. Most current therapies address the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease rather than the...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer's disease causes patients to have difficulty recalling memories and performing tasks. Alzheimer's disease is progressive, which means it gets worse over time. Once Alzheimer's disease begins, patients either stay the same or get worse. Most people notice...
Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Nerve Cell Protection and Blood Vessel Growth
Much of the initial excitement surrounding stem cells was that they have the potential to become other types of cells. Add cardiac stem cells to a heart damaged by a heart attack, for example, and perhaps those stem cells will become new heart cells and restore heart...
5 Illnesses Associated with Low Vitamin D
At some point or another, you’ve probably heard about the importance of getting enough vitamin D. This nutrient helps us stay healthy at every age, supporting the body’s ability to absorb calcium and block parathyroid hormone release to support strong bones. Yet,...
Stem Cells Showing Promise for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration and Reduction of Back Pain
Chronic low back pain is a common condition that can significantly reduce the quality of life. The degeneration of the intervertebral disc is one cause for low back pain, and there is no therapeutic intervention that effectively reverses this type of degeneration....
The Role of Vitamin A in Gut Bacteria & Immune System Health
Gut flora has been established as an important player in keeping us healthy. This microbiome comprises more than 1,000 different species of bacteria consisting of at least 3 million genes. In addition to aiding in digestion, gut bacteria also contribute to the...
Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Restore Function After Stroke
An ischemic stroke is a devastating event. An ischemic stroke is caused when a blood clot blocks blood flow to a portion of the brain. If the blood cannot deliver oxygen and nutrients, brain cells in the affected area die. Whatever functions that area of the brain...
Should You Try the Natural Face-lift?
With more than 60 different muscles, the face works hard to produce expressions countless times throughout the day. It’s no wonder that frown lines, crow’s feet, and laugh lines begin to emerge over time: after years, the same expressions we make over and over again...
Should You Be Taking C60 Supplements?
In a world where prescription drug use and invasive treatments have become the norm, many individuals are looking towards supplements as a means of improving health and minimizing their risk for serious diseases. Patients are becoming their own advocates and...
Hyperbaric Oxygen for Parkinson’s Disease with Severe Depression and Anxiety
Parkinson's disease is widely known as a neurological condition that causes motor symptoms. Typically, patients with Parkinson's disease have pill-rolling tremor, cogwheel rigidity, and a shuffling gait. However, about half of all patients with Parkinson's disease...
