Stem Cell Therapy:
Childhood Brain Cancer

Cancer. It’s a frightening diagnosis. When your child is diagnosed with brain cancer, it is more than frightening—it’s devastating. Where there was once a happy, healthy child, laughing and playing with friends, there is now a scared little kid, uncertain of what is going to happen to them. The toll is more than physical. Brain cancer destroys the emotional health of not only the child, but the entire family as well.

As with all cancers, brain cancer is caused by the abnormal growth of cells that have lost their internal control mechanisms. All cells come with a genetic code that determines their function and how they multiply. When this genetic code fails and the cells mutate, brain cancer can result, interrupting the ability of the cells to do their jobs correctly.

Until now, the only treatments available for children with brain cancer have been almost as devastating to the child as to the cancer itself. Radiation and chemotherapy cause severe side effects like nausea, weight loss, hair loss, and extreme fatigue, and this impairs the ability of the child to run and play as most children do. In the case of brain cancer, these treatments are also highly ineffective. Even when a child goes into remission, their chances of once again having cancer are seriously increased.

Now we have another answer. Stem cell therapy goes right to the source of the problem in a non-invasive way that offers a cure to any child suffering with brain cancer. In recent years, researchers have made major medical advances, isolating a protein known as bone morphogenic protein-4 (BMP4), which actually attacks the cells that are causing the cancer. This protein can stop the progression of your child’s brain cancer and completely rid them of the malfunctioning cells. Instead of simply killing a tumor and hoping it won’t grow back, this protein rids the brain of the cancerous cells and creates newer, healthier non-cancerous brain cells.

Stem cells are the foundation for all other cells. Every other cell in the body has a specific function, but stem cells are a sort of all-purpose cell. They can perform any function by mimicking other cells. If they come into contact with brain cells, for instance, they will take on the function of brain cells—healthy brain cells. They are the body’s natural healing mechanism. Doctors can use stem cells to fight brain cancer through stem cell therapy. When the cells in a specific part of the body lose their ability to function normally, stem cells can take over the job.

How does stem cell therapy promote brain cancer treatment?

Stem cell therapy provides a cure for children living with brain cancer. Doctors can isolate the BMP4 protein from stem cells, transplant this protein to the cancerous area, and stop the growth of abnormal cells. The best news? This is more than simply killing the tumor. Stem cell therapy goes directly to the problem and helps the cells to once again function normally.

These stem cell therapies are an amazing medical marvel, providing a cure where once there was none. If your child has brain cancer and has not yet found a cure, stem cell therapy will give you the answers you seek. Watching a child suffer with brain cancer and the effects of traditional treatment is excruciating, but you no longer have to suffer alone. Stem cell therapy will give you back your hope

I work directly with doctors and hospitals to find a stem cell cure for your child’s brain cancer. I have extensive expertise in the field, and my network of doctors will be able to determine which stem cell therapy is most appropriate for your child.

Everyone deserves to live a long and happy life, and this is most especially true of children. I’ve made it my purpose to create a pathway between doctors performing these life-saving stem cell therapies and the children who so desperately need them.
