Progencell Stem Cell Therapy Aides Doctor Diagnosed with Parkinsons

AI Thread Summary
Dr. José Luis Salgado Ruiz, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease six years ago, faced significant challenges as his condition progressed, impacting his ability to perform daily tasks and ultimately forcing him to leave his medical practice. Traditional treatments failed to provide relief, leading him to explore stem cell therapy at ProgenCell in Tijuana, Mexico. This facility uses techniques to extract bone marrow and activate stem cells, aiming to rejuvenate damaged neural tissues and improve motor function. While some patients report positive outcomes, there are concerns regarding the temporary nature of these treatments, as symptoms often return more severely. Ethical and technical issues surrounding access to such therapies also contribute to the ongoing debate about their efficacy and long-term benefits.

When Dr. José Luis Salgado Ruiz was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease nearly six years ago, he thought his career and his future were over. Parkinson's Disease, also known as PD, is a neurodegenerative condition that affects the central nervous system. The condition causes tremors, slowed movement, as well as a decrease in motor skills, speech, and daily living skills and activities such as buttoning clothes, tying shoes, cooking, writing, and range of motion and mobility.

No longer even able to hold a stethoscope, Dr. Salgado was forced to give up his medical practice. Traditional medications and therapies failed to alleviate his symptoms or improve his condition. "My condition started with a very small involuntary movement of my left index finger, but gradually worsened until the tremors involved my entire hand and arm," says Dr. Salgado. "Then, the tremors advanced to my legs. It was devastating."

As his condition worsened, Dr. Salgado was willing to try anything to restore mobility and improve function to enhance his quality of life. Dr. Salgado contacted ProgenCell, a stem cell research and treatment facility located in Tijuana, Mexico. Recent research into stem cell technologies found that stem cell therapies have the ability to rejuvenate and replace damaged neural tissues and nerves, as well as improving necessary synapses between nerve endings responsible and required for fine motor movement and mobility.

"At ProgenCell, we extract a bone marrow from the hip bone or tibia under local anesthesia, and then utilized our proprietary techniques to activate the stem cells to grow. The patient is infused with an IV (intravenous) procedure and also with a special injection in the lumbar area to deposit the solution into the spinal fluid that washes the brain," reports Dr. Hugo Navarrete, a specialist of neurology at ProgenCell.

Thanks for everything, I'm so glad that I spoke to you and found such a wonderful stem cell treatment. If you need to visit this hospital then feel free here: 1.303.578.0719, info@placidway.com

My wife's family suffers from Parkinsons and they have done these type of treatments. They have been around a while in some form or another.

First, they are treatments, and they are not cures and do not last very long. And second, when the symptoms come back, they always came back much worse.

The problem with stem cell treatments is that they are treatements for most conditions and not cures. When you consider injuries where it is healing damaged cells, yes it is a cure. Otherwise it is just a continuous transplant that will keep developing the disease from the body.

There are ethical( relating to access of treatments ) and technical issues, but you get the gist of the real problem.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
