Managing Autoimmune Disease
Rheumatoid Arthritis is more than just joint pain; it’s a systemic failure where your immune system attacks healthy tissue.
How Stem Cells Help
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are powerful immunomodulators.
- T-Cell Regulation: They signal T-Regulatory cells to “calm down” the overactive immune response.
- Anti-Inflammatory: They release cytokines that drastically reduce inflammation markers (CRP/ESR) in the blood.
The Protocol
- Systemic IV: High-dose infusion to target the immune system globally.
- Localized Injection: If specific joints (knees/hands) are severely damaged, we inject them directly to stimulate cartilage repair.
Outcomes
Patients typically report a reduction in “flare-up” frequency and severity, often allowing them to reduce harsh medications like Methotrexate or biologics.
