Stem Cell Therapy:
Brain Cancer

Seventeen thousand Americans are diagnosed with brain cancer each year. The brain is part of the central nervous system, which controls every other function of our bodies. For this reason, brain cancer is especially destructive, eventually robbing the sufferer of their motor skill and ability to reason. Brain cancer also has a relatively low incidence of recovery.

Brain cancer, just like any other cancer, is caused by a proliferation of cells that have lost their ability to stop multiplying. Cells are built with a genetic code that tells them when and how to multiply. Cancer is essentially the failure of this genetic code. The cells—in this case, the brain cells—simply continue to multiply until the cells build up and form a tumor. Tumors interrupt normal functioning of the brain.

For a long time, the only treatments available for brain cancer patients were highly invasive and equally devastating to the life of the person suffering with cancer. Radiation and chemotherapy both cause side effects such as extreme fatigue, nausea, weight loss, hair loss, and interrupt the ability of the patient to carry on with their normal life. In the case of brain cancer, they’re also highly ineffective. Even those who go into remission have a high chance of reoccurrence.

Science has given us another answer.

Stem Cell Therapy as a Treatment Option for Brain Cancer

Stem cell therapy strikes to the root of the problem—cellular malfunction—in a non-invasive way that brings new hope to anyone dealing with brain cancer. Scientists have isolated a protein, bone morphogenic protein-4 (BMP4), which targets the cells responsible for brain cancer and tumor growth. This protein counteracts the progression of brain cancer, and stem cell therapy provides a way for us to use this protein to treat the cancer.

Stem cells are the basic building blocks of all other cells in the body. While most cells have a specific function, stem cells are a sort of all-purpose cell; they can take on the function of other cells if need be. Their main function is to help rebuild damaged cells in the body by mimicking the healthy function of the damaged area. This is how stem cell therapy works. When the cells in a specific part of the body lose their ability to function normally, stem cells can take over the job.

With the discovery of BMP4, stem cell therapy offers those living with brain cancer the chance for a cure. Doctors can isolate this protein from stem cells and transplant it to the cancerous area in the brain. By using this naturally occurring protein, they can stop the proliferation of cancerous cells and kill the tumor. The best news? Stem cell therapy, unlike other cancer treatments, is non-invasive. The doctor is essentially telling the body to heal itself and helping that process along.

Stem cell therapy is the most promising treatment for brain cancer available today. Because brain cancer is a case of cellular malfunction, stem cell therapy goes directly to the problem and helps the cells to function normally once again.

I believe that stem cell therapy is a modern miracle, a cure where there once was none. It isn’t a futuristic dream; it’s happening now. If you or someone you know has brain cancer, and you’ve tried other treatments without relief, there is still hope. I can find the stem cell therapy that is right for you and help you heal your brain cancer.

I work with doctors, both in the US and abroad, to find your cure. Suffering with brain cancer is no easy task. Let me help you discover the answers you seek. Everyone deserves to live a long and happy life, and I believe it is my purpose to help others use stem cell therapies to make the most out of their lives.
