David's Story of Stem Cell Therapy for Lupus - Stem Cell Institute Panama

Five years ago, David was struggling. Diagnosed with lupus and Sjogren’s syndrome, he was living with a slew of health issues that were only getting worse. It started in his feet with numbness that gradually moved all the way up to his waist. 

Not only that, but David also began experiencing saliva draining down his throat at night. This was caused by his throat and neck muscles not working correctly, running the risk of drowning on his own saliva while sleeping. He suffered from cold sweats at night as well as memory loss.

“It felt like I’d pass very soon.”

That all changed after David visited Stem Cell Institute in Panama to receive stem cell therapy for lupus. He has now been symptom-free for years and no longer worries about the future due to his health problems. Instead, he’s looking forward to a very long and happy life.

Stem Cell Therapy for Lupus and Sjogren’s Syndrome

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues and substances. This can target a specific organ or affect various tissues throughout the body. Consequently, damage to multiple organs can result from this immune response. 

Diseases where the immune system malfunctions include: 

Stem cell therapy for lupus and Sjogren’s syndrome offers a promising alternative for treating autoimmune diseases compared to conventional methods in the form of immunosuppressive agents. While drugs like steroids and methotrexate provide temporary relief, they come with the risk of long-term side effects and require lifelong treatment. 

Studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells can repair damaged tissues and regulate the immune system, halting harmful responses and preserving its ability to fight disease. 

At Stem Cell Institute in Panama, we’ve taken this research one step further. We use specially selected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) known as Golden Cells™ that migrate to inflamed areas. These produce anti-inflammatory substances locally without suppressing the body’s overall immune response. What’s more—they stimulate the production of T regulatory cells that safeguard against immune self-attack.

Lupus

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues throughout the body. It can affect various organs, including the: 

  • Skin 
  • Joints 
  • Kidneys 
  • Heart
  • Lungs 
  • Brain 

This leads to inflammation, pain, and damage. 

Symptoms vary widely and may include:

  • Fatigue 
  • Joint pain 
  • Skin rashes (particularly a butterfly-shaped rash on the face) 
  • Fever 
  • Sensitivity to sunlight 

While the exact cause of lupus is unknown, factors such as genetics, hormones, and environmental triggers likely play a role. 

Sjogren’s Syndrome

Sjögren’s syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s moisture-producing glands, such as those that produce saliva and tears. This results in symptoms like dry eyes and mouth, which can lead to: 

  • Discomfort 
  • Difficulty swallowing 
  • Dental issues
  • Eye infections 

Beyond dryness, it can affect multiple organs, leading to fatigue, joint pain, and organ damage. The cause of Sjogren’s syndrome isn’t currently known. However, environmental triggers and genetics likely play a role in its development.

Golden Cells™ from Stem Cell Institute in Panama

Our approach to stem cell therapy for lupus began years ago. After years of treating thousands of patients, our team started to notice remarkable recoveries in certain individuals following treatment. While many patients showed signs of improvement, this group showed an exceptional level of recovery. 

This grabbed the attention of our scientific and medical staff. The result was a thorough retrospective analysis of our extensive patient data spanning several years. During this analysis, our team meticulously examined the records of our most successful cases, aiming to identify any discernible patterns or connections. 

The investigation revealed a striking trend: the majority of these outstanding cases were associated with six specific cell lines. To validate these findings, comparisons were made against moderately successful cases and inactive cell lines. Employing high-throughput screening techniques, our team analyzed these mesenchymal stem cells.

A distinct molecular signature was identified in these six cell lines, which was significantly enhanced by the unique process they underwent. Named Golden Cells™ by Dr. Riordan, they have become a crucial component in our treatments at the Stem Cell Institute. They serve as a cornerstone in our commitment to delivering exceptional therapeutic outcomes to our patients.

Do You Have a Stem Cell Treatment Protocol for Lupus?

While we do not have a treatment protocol specific to lupus, our autoimmune disease protocol can directly impact and possibly improve the worst symptoms of the condition. Stem cell therapy can help:

  • Reduce inflammation
  • Modulate the immune system
  • Help tissues regenerate

All of the above may help patients living with the daily battle of lupus or other conditions like Sjogren’s Syndrome experience improvements—just like David. 

David’s Life Since Stem Cell Treatment for Lupus and Sjogren’s

David’s life has improved immensely since undergoing stem cell therapy for lupus and Sjogren’s syndrome. He’s stopped experiencing symptoms about two weeks after his first treatment and has been symptom-free for four years.

Since then, David has returned to Stem Cell Institute in Panama for continuous treatments. He explains why by saying:

“People always ask me, ‘If this thing works so well, why do you keep going back?’ If it fixed the lupus and the Sjogren’s disease, I’m sure there are other things breaking down in their old age that it’s probably going to fix, also.”

One of the biggest benefits is that he doesn’t worry about the future like he did before treatment. “I could start making plans for the rest of my life again,” explains David, “I was making plans for the end of my life before that.”

“Stem Cell Institute, I believe, saved my life.”
