Autoimmune Disorders

The function of the immune system in a body is to fight against various diseases, germs, and infections caused by foreign invaders in the body. While defending the body against infection the immune system also protects the body’s cells from the attack. But, with autoimmune diseases, the role of the immune system gets reversed because it recognizes the body’s own cells as invaders and starts defending its own cells, tissues, and organs. Any organ system can be affected in a person suffering from an autoimmune disorder.

At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, we take advantage of the regenerative properties of human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) to alleviate symptoms of autoimmune conditions and improve the immune system response and function. These types of diseases affect the overall quality of life of individuals and our cellular healing therapies treat them by attacking the cause at its root. Our advanced stem cell treatment has brought significant life-changing outcomes in patients who came to us for a trusted solution to their autoimmune condition.

Our team of doctors and stem cell specialist work together to diagnose and treat a wide variety of autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Lyme disease, Crohn’s disease, and more.

Since there are various types of autoimmune diseases, symptoms vary with specific conditions. For instance, patients with rheumatoid arthritis may experience joint pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, fatigue, weight loss, and even a fever. Those with Crohn’s syndrome report symptoms like abdominal pain, cramps,  diarrhea, fever, fatigue, reduced appetite, and weight loss.

Despite its varying types, there are some very common or similar symptoms that every patient with any type of autoimmunity condition goes through. These are:

• Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling
• Skin issues
• Muscle ache
• Fatigue
• Dizziness
• Abdominal pain or digestive discomfort
• Numbness in hands and feet
• Fever recurring at intervals

It is also important to note that the intensity of the symptoms ranges from severe to mild, and further, they also vary from individual to individual. Also, for some types of autoimmune disorders, the symptoms are very specific to body parts being attacked by the disease like the skin, heart, joints, etc.

Till now, researchers have studied and identified over 100 types of autoimmune diseases, the causes of some of which are known and some are still unknown. Here are the most common types listed for you.

• Rheumatoid Arthritis – This autoimmune disease is a chronic disorder that causes inflammation and pain in affected parts of the body (mainly joints). The immune system attacks its healthy tissues and cells and affects the lining of the joints, causing pain and swelling.

• Multiple Sclerosis – Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune condition of the central nervous system where the immune system attacks its own body by eating away the protecting nerve coverings.

• Lupus – This is an inflammatory disease that attacks cells, tissues, and organs of the human body and affects body parts like the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, joints, and brain. 

• Psoriasis – Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin problem in which dead cells build up on the surface of the epidermis skin layer. This causes skin rashes, itchiness, and patches, and also triggers infections including cold and anxiety. 

• Crohn’s Disease – This is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that impacts one digestive tract and affects the process of digestion. It is mainly caused by inflammation of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

While the exact cause for each type of disorder is still unknown, researchers have found the below factors primarily responsible for developing an autoimmune disease in an individual.

• Genetics – Family history plays a crucial role in causing autoimmune disorders in individuals. If you inherit genes from your parents with this condition, you are more likely to get the disease.
• Environmental factors – Excessive exposure to sunlight or harmful conditions like chemicals, mercury, solvents, cigarette smoke, etc. increases the risk of autoimmune disorders.
• Gender – Females in the age group 15-44 are more likely to get affected by autoimmunity conditions compared to males in the same age group.
• Ethnicity – Some diseases are common to specific groups of people or in certain regions. For instance, Europeans and Americans are more likely to get affected by autoimmune muscle disease, whereas African Americans, Latinos, and Hispanics, tend to get impacted by disorders like Lupus.
• Nutrition – Your diet pattern and nutrition intake also contribute to the cause of your autoimmunity condition. These directly impact the severity and risk of the condition.

Other factors – Apart from the reasons listed above, other health conditions like obesity can trigger symptoms of autoimmune disorders.

Stem cell therapy for treating autoimmune diseases starts with the diagnosis of the cause of your disease. First, we study and assess the symptoms of your conditions to identify which type of autoimmune disease you have been impacted with. To proceed with the diagnosis, we will ask you to fill up a patient application form where you are required to put all your details, symptoms, and past ailments.

It is important to share every small detail of your symptoms, family histories, and other pre-existing medical conditions with us because it will help us understand your problem better and find the best fit and personalized treatment for you. You can schedule a consultation with our doctor to get involved in a one-to-one discussion and seek the best treatment advice. If required, we will also conduct some blood examinations like Complete blood count (CBC) as these blood markers will ascertain that you have an autoimmune disease.

Besides collecting all the above information and conducting tests, you need to provide information like whether you have any experience with chemotherapy, past surgeries, allergies, etc. This information is imperative in our stem cell treatment for autoimmune diseases in Mexico.

Stem cells have the potential to have a positive impact on the quality of life of those suffering from autoimmune disorders. Research shows that for autoimmune conditions the best source of stem cells is the Wharton’s jelly of the umbilical cord of healthy mothers following a baby’s birth.

• These cells have the biggest capabilities to generate healthy tissues in the areas where they are required.
• The stem cells can effectively replace damaged tissues made by the misfiring immune system in a body.
• The application of stem cells for autoimmune diseases can restore your health free from the sufferings of serious conditions.

The treatment slows down the progress of the condition and in some cases might completely stop the progression of the disease.

The stem cells can be administered into the patient’s body in different methods. Depending on your health condition and the severity of the autoimmune disease, the entire treatment protocol is decided by our medical team. The various ways of stem cell administration are –

• Intravenous Infusions – In the intravenous administration process, stem cells are injected into a vein, usually in the arm, allowing them to circulate through the bloodstream and target the damaged tissues affected by the disease.
• Intraarterial – Intra-arterial administration of stem cells is the procedure of injecting stem cells directly into an artery, allowing them to travel through the bloodstream to reach specific organs or tissues supplied by that artery.
• Intramuscular – For intramuscular administration, stem cells are injected directly into the muscle tissues which is a more targeted method of application.
• Intrathecal (lumbar puncture) – Administering stem cells intrathecally involves injecting them directly into the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord to target the root source of autoimmune-affected cells and tissues.

The revolutionary stem cell treatment for autoimmune diseases in Mexico by Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute is the most advanced approach to combat and manage serious health conditions. It harnesses the body’s intrinsic healing mechanisms to restore tissue health. In autoimmune diseases, the Th1 and Th2 immune responses become imbalanced. Stem cells act as medicinal signaling cells that aid in immune system modulation and promote the expansion of TH3, TH17, and T-regulatory cells.

The stem cell treatment fights off autoimmune diseases in the following ways –

• Stem cells possess the unique capability to modulate the immune system and they suppress pathological responses while preserving the ability to combat disease.
• Mesenchymal stem cells, in particular, migrate to inflamed tissues and generate anti-inflammatory agents, acting locally without suppressing the overall immune response.

Mesenchymal stem cells also stimulate the production of T regulatory cells, which play a crucial role in protecting the body from immunological self-attack.

Our regenerative medicines therapies are guided by extensive clinical expertise and globally researched protocols for optimal outcomes. We promise to embrace a holistic and comprehensive approach where each patient’s unique presentation informs tailored protocols comprising safe doses.

Our treatments encompass additional healing modalities like IV nutrients and physiotherapy (for specific conditions) to support recovery. We also incorporate nutritional guidance and continued support in the subsequent months to ensure comprehensive care in our treatment plan. If you are suffering from any of the autoimmune diseases or simply going through symptoms, the reasons for which you don’t know, you are advised to get on a call with our doctors for the best advice and treatment solutions.
