The stem cells in your bone marrow helps keep you healthy day-in and day-out. But when injury or disease strikes, these stem cells rush to the damaged or diseased tissues and facilitate healing and restoration. Not unexpectedly aging saps the vitality of these stem cells.  Dr. David Steenblock, in fact, found clear evidence that the marrow of older folks just does not have what it takes to effect healing, while the bone marrow of people under 40 is vital enough to ably facilitate healing. Acting on this discovery, he set out to develop new therapies to “revitalize” the bone marrow of people over the age of forty. This background will help you better understand this better:                                              

            Each of us has in the hollows of our bones both red bone marrow tissue and yellow fat. When we are children our bones are full of active healthy bone marrow that is growing and releasing healthy stem cells 24/7 year round. This is the reason why children can heal so much better than older people.

As we get older our bodies make less new tissue including that in our bones, and as a result there is a shift in the amount of red bone marrow to fat present. This decrease in the quantity of stem cell-rich red bone marrow in our bones is one reason healing and repair is slower and less efficient. Interestingly, Dr Steenblock observed that older folks who hike in the high mountains or donate blood tend to have healthier, more abundant red bone marrow than their less active peers. This is due to that fact that exertion at high altitudes as well as blood donation creates a state of hypoxia or oxygen deprivation in the body. This prompted Dr. Steenblock to add Intermittent Hypoxia Therapy to his bone marrow revitalization approach.

            In addition, the bone marrow in people with Parkinson’s disease or dementia has diminished in quantity and quality to the point that most of the cells have entered into state called “senescence”. They are in-a-word too old to do anything but sit in-place and take up space. To offset this Dr. Steenblock tried prodding the body to mobilize these tired old stem cells into the patient’s blood stream by use of some hormones called colony stimulating factors. He figured once these devitalized cells had left the bone marrow new, healthier stem cells would be created to replace them.  And this is exactly what he found! Indeed, Dr. Steenblock discovered that in two weeks time patient bone marrow had produced upwards of 10 times more healthy stem cells than were present prior to the injection of colony stimulating factors!

            Over time Dr. Steenblock added other things to his comprehensive stem cell revitalizing approach and tested this on patients. The clinical responses seen were far superior to what had been seen in older folks given simple whole bone marrow transplants, i.e., marrow was harvested and given back without pre- or post- transplant use of Intermittent Hypoxia Therapy, CSF injections, etc. Many also experienced anti-aging effects like better skin color, a healthier “glow” and fewer wrinkles.

After Dr Steenblock was satisfied with his improved or enhanced bone marrow transplant method he then pushed the envelope by added the use of stem cell rich fat tissue (by itself and in combination with stem cell-rich bone marrow.) So far the clinical results have been very impressive, even dramatic! You will find some of these patient accounts on www.strokedoctor.com as well as www.stemcellMD.org

What Dr. Kondrot has to say about stem cells

“There has been quite a bit of interest in the use of stem cell therapy to treat Macular Degeneration and other health problems. There has also been a lot of misinformation and controversy regarding stem cells and the sources for obtaining these cells. My interest was stimulated several months ago when Dr. Robert Rowen shared with me his father’s very positive experience in having his Macular Degeneration treated with stem cell therapy. Shortly after that, I also spoke with David Steenblock, D.O., author of a book titled, “Umbilical Cord Stem Cell Therapy.” This research has led me to the conclusion that stem cells certainly can be beneficial in the treatment of Macular Degeneration and that microcurrent stimulation can be an important ancillary tool in insuring the success of the stem cell transplantation. Dr. Steenblock has made great advancements in the treatment of Macular Degeneration through stem cell therapy and I am happy to announce that I will be working with him to administer stem cell therapy, for the treatment of Macular Degeneration.”

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is surely one of the most fiendishly insidious diseases known to humankind. It basically whittles away sufferer’s motor functions, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, with the end result being an active mind trapped in an inert body.  Thankfully, evidence has accrued from both animal and human studies that point to the fact that certain bone marrow derived stem cells can extend motor neuron survival and possibly confer some clinical benefits. Emory University is, in fact, in the process of conducting a study right now in which ALS patients have stem cells isolated from their own bone marrow injected into their spinal canal.

Of course, there is no way Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis sufferers here in the US can get treated with pure autologous (= from self) bone marrow derived stem cells outside of FDA approved clinical trials.   However, there is no law or regulation that bars doctors here from harvesting an ALS patient’s own stem cell rich bone marrow and giving it back to him or her via IV or lumbar puncture or such.  Case-in-point: Dr. David Steenblock has been doing whole bone marrow treatments for more than five years now (More than 1,000 to-date.) This body of pioneering clinical work includes more than a few ALS patients.

So what kind of results has these whole bone marrow treatments produced in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis sufferers? Well, if you have about 4 minutes to spare, you can meet one of them (Geno) and learn what he has experienced on the heels of not one – but 5 such whole bone marrow transplants. In-a-word, this fellow reaped fairly impressive clinical improvements in lock-step with each of his treatments. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDeIhrBh12w
