One of the top leading causes of death in the elderly population in the United States is Alzheimer’s. There are over 5 million people in the United States who are living with Alzheimer’s.

While Alzheimer’s is not fully understood, scientists do believe it is caused in part by amyloid plaques and tangled bundles of fibers. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s.

Some many diseases and illnesses lack efficient mainstream treatment options. This is detrimental for patients, as often, they feel like they have very few options for managing the pain and symptoms they are suffering from. But for many illnesses, there is a solution to more conventional medications and treatments, and the solution comes in the form of regenerative medicine. What is Regenerative Medicine? - Regenerative medicine aims to treat illness and disease by replacing tissue or organs, added Dr. David Greene R3 Stem Cell CEO. It’s very different from the more conventional medical approach, which typically focuses first on fixing symptoms. Regenerative medicine aims to solve the problem at the root, thereby often helping to eliminate a large amount of pain, discomfort, and suffering. Regenerative medicine approaches include tissue engineering and cellular therapies which use stem cells to help replace damaged or dead cells in the body. In many cases, regenerative medicine is ben...

Regenerative medicine has made headlines in the world of medical treatments, and over the years, has gained a lot of popularity and publicity because of its promise for healing with little risk in comparison to other more invasive procedures. Regenerative treatments combine many different fields of science from biology to computer sciences in the hopes of understanding and utilizing the human body’s natural structures and processes of restoration to treat what we used to think were untreatable injuries and diseases.

There is a myth being propagated by quite a few stem cell clinics that the best way to perform regenerative procedures is by only using your bone marrow. Most of the time, it is NOT the best option by a long shot, added Dr. David Greene R3 Stem Cell CEO. In fact, I will lay out the reasons why bone marrow stem cell therapy is typically a terrible option for individuals looking to gain relief from orthopedic conditions. First of all, a bone marrow aspiration is not without risk. Studies show that up to half of the individuals undergoing an aspiration from an area of the hip known as the iliac crest can end up with chronic pain for over six months. In addition, the peer-reviewed literature shows a significant incidence of additional complications including pelvic fracture, vascular injury, bowel perforation, and more. It’s not a risk-free procedure. The nerve endings surrounding the pelvis are very sensitive, and they don’t like it when a big fat needle is placed through the area. Usual...
