International Stem Cell Institute announced the launch of highly effective Stem Cell Therapy treatments aimed at providing a better quality of life for those suffering with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
ISCI Executive Director Rita Alexander maintains, "Every parent wants their child to live a happy, healthy life as a baby, as a toddler, as a first grader. CP is a tremendously overwhelming condition -- it's really hard to understand the daily frustrations parents go through when a child is diagnosed with CP. And while the condition can't be completely cured, our stem cell treatment is dramatically improving the quality of life for many children, much beyond their parent's expectations. The results are truly amazing."
Cerebral Palsy is not a disease like chicken pox or measles. It is an umbrella term for a group of related disorders stemming from different causes. The condition seriously affects muscle movement, and is caused by abnormalities in the brain. One million children in the US are afflicted with CP, and more will be diagnosed as we see an increase in the survival of premature infants and multiple births.
According to Alexander, CP is often associated with injury in the womb or during birth, and especially evident in premature infants. Alexander notes, "The earlier we can treat an infant or child with Stem Cell Therapy the greater the positive impacts on their future development." She continues, "We're working with very young children and infants. Stem Cell Therapy is a very gentle treatment, it's gentle enough for a six month old baby."
The procedure - safely and comfortably administering placental stem cells into several key parts of the body - is an alternative CP treatment proving effective for infants and even older children afflicted with CP. Alexander relates, "The good thing is parents don't have to wait for the new developments in this field, the procedure is available right now and affordable for most families."
