HUCT/Stem Cells for Joint Repair

[Deach]

I assist my brother with his 4 Regenerative Joint Repair Clinics. At the clinics, they inject joints (knees, hips, shoulders, ankles, etc) with Human Umbilical Cord Tissue (obtained from healthy babies born of healthy mothers, also know as Whartons Jelly). I'm always inspired by the number of patients who have avoided having knee/shoulder/hip replacement surgery from this natural approach to healing.

If a potential patient has cancer, stem cell injections are usually not recommended, as the cells naturally migrate to the area of most need, and in this case the tumor will likely draw these healing cells.

I'm looking for any research or personal stories pertaining to HUCT injections with individuals with CLL or other blood related cancers. I have chronic tendonitis in one knee. I was diagnosed with CLL 3 years ago. My CLL treatment with Acalabrutinib has been spectacular to date. All side effect have dissipated to nothing and my numbers are great. Only issue is some ITP, but my platelets have leveled out around 50 with no major bleeding issues whatsoever.

Our clinics will soon begin to offer IV stem cell therapy with the hope of helping people with arthritis and other ailments. Dr. Neal Riordan is the guru for these therapies.

I've had conversations with my awesome oncologist with the City of Hope, but thought I'd throw the topic out there to see what info my brothers and sisters in this forum might have.

Progress in the treatment of osteoarthritis with umbilical cord stem cells

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Note the Conclusion

The study of osteoarthritis, particularly the use of stem cell therapy, in joint disease research has attracted considerable attention. Some precise studies have been carried out on the function and characteristics of WJ-MSCs and their application in cartilage regeneration to treat osteoarthritis. According to reports from basic research and clinical trials, it is safe and effective to use WJ-MSCs to treat osteoarthritis. However, there are several avenues that merit further study, such as (1) correlation between the degree and course of articular cartilage injury and the efficacy of stem cell therapy. (2) Induced signaling pathways and related mechanisms of directed differentiation of transplanted WJ-MSCs. (3) Design of in vitro experiments to artificially control and regulate the growth and differentiation of stem cells in vivo. (4) Design of clinical trials and standardization of the timing of injections and transplantation options. Therefore, in subsequent studies, we need to address the shortcomings of current research, lay a solid theoretical foundation for the clinical application of WJ-MSCs in the treatment of osteoarthritis, and possibly attempt the reversal of osteoarthritis.

I would love to see a follow up post if you find helpful information on this. Fascinating process and I have a friend who used the stem cells to good outcome for a ligament injury.

Thanks for the posts everyone! I am well aware of the positive results our clinics see in regards to joint regeneration, what I am really curious to learn about is any negative contraindications for someone with CLL. Could adding Mesenchymal Stem Cells have an adverse affect of any kind with regards to CLL, bone marrow, blood production, cancerous white B-cell production, etc. I'm meeting with my oncologist again soon, but trying to gather all the info possible on the subject specific to people with CLL. Keep 'em coming!
