✔ A leading cause of death among people with ALS is failure of the respiratory system to take in oxygen sufficient for the cells ✔ Slurred speech, and trouble eating or drinking ✔ Incapability of the lungs to take in adequate oxygen and release sufficient carbon dioxide may interfere with thinking, result in headaches, and increase ones likelihood of catching pneumonia ✔ Paralysis in most of the voluntary muscles ✔ One may display episodes of emotional incontinence (bouts of uncontrollable laughter and crying) ✔ Getting up unassisted may not be possible after a fall ✔ One may also experience difficulty in swallowing and eating ✔ While one may experience paralysis in some muscles, others may get weak or not be affected at all ✔ Symptoms may extend to other parts of the body ✔ One may also experience imbalance, slurred speech, and fatigue ✔ One may experience weakening of muscles, spasming, and twitching in either one part of the body or more than one part ✔ Mishandling of protein in the nerve cells leading to accumulation of abnormal protein thereby causing their death ✔ Immune system turning against own body ✔ Higher than normal concentration of glutamate around the nerve cells which can be quite harmful to them ✔ Gene mutation or alteration to the DNA material ✔ According to the ALS Association while sporadic ALS occurs in 90-95% of the total cases, familial ALS is less common, occurring in 5-10% of the cases. ✔ ALS can be of two types – sporadic (occurring without any family history) and familial. ✔ Loss of muscle control is also accompanied with loss of ability to eat, speak, move, and breathe. ✔ Death of motor neurons makes the brain lose control over muscular movement. ✔ In ALS motor neurons progressively degenerate, and eventually die. ✔ Motor neurons are a type of cells in the brain and spinal cord that give instructions to the muscles to move. ✔ It literally means “no nourishment to muscles.” ✔ Alternatively known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is caused by the death of motor neurons. ✔ It is a kind of motor neuron disease (MND) affecting the voluntary or skeletal muscles. Most people on the Cancun Riviera speak English and Spanish, and some even other languages. The incredible and warm weather year-round attracts tourists from all over the world so English has become a common language in the city. and Canada to the Cancun International Airport (CUN) The advantage of coming to this paradisiac destination is that there are 100+ direct (non-stop) flights from the U.S. Playa Del Carmen is located in Quintana Roo, Mexico, it is a beautiful beach-side city with lots of tourists from various nationalities and ages. The spa is less than 10 miles from Yuma, Arizona. Besides an on-site laboratory, it features a cafeteria, a restaurant, a therapeutic spa, and a state-of-the-art operating room.

In Los Algodones, we have a 20-bed stem cell spa center styled like a typical Mexican hacienda. It is a 250-bed state-of-the-art facility. We have partnered with San Javier hospital in Guadalajara, a multi specialty center, for stem cell therapy for motor neuron diseases. Right from arranging hotel stay to transportation, once you are in Mexico we take care of each and every aspect of your trip. Stem cell is a growing science, and we give a lot of importance to research. Anand Srivastava, has played a pivotal role in setting up regenerative medicine research programs at Salk Institute for Biological Studies, UCI, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. We are pioneers of stem cell research and conduct our own investigative work. Other clinics do not follow the process of differentiation before injecting stem cells back into the body. For the purpose of treatment we use induced pluripotent stem cells which bypass ethical concerns connected with embryonic stem cells. We follow the process of differentiation to assign specific functions to stem cells which are otherwise rendered blank in the lab after extraction by reversing the clock on them. We offer personalized stem cell protocols made up of 3-4 applications on an average as part of an entire therapy instead of doing single applications and then waiting for results as is the common practice among other stem cell clinics in Mexico.Īpplication of Differentiated Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Stem Cell Protocols Unique to Individual Cases Why Us for Stem Cell Treatment in Mexico for ALS?
