Does anyone have any experience and/or other information regarding stem cell therapy used to treat TBI and/or strokes?

Hi swbell,

For injections into musculoskeletal areas, if you have US$ 10K+, can fly to Mexico, they pick you up from the airport and take you to the clinic and over a period of 3 - 5- 7- 10 days, you get treated (in and out of clinic over that time) for whatever.

Dream Body Clinic only provides certified stem cells that are the highest quality stem cells. Our Lab is certified to produce stem cells and certified as a stem cell cryo-bank. These 2 permits are from COFEPRIS (Mexico’s FDA). This guarantees that they have the highest quality standards in the collection, expansion and application of mesenchymal stem cells. This is to ensure a highly safe product that is free of pathogens. Our quality control is based on good manufacturing practices and the standards recommended by the International Society of Cell Therapy and the Latin American Mesenchymal Stem Cell Society of which we are members. The laboratory enters the qualification of ISO 5 (Cleanroom), which mean they meet the necessary requirements to make injectable products. We have specialized equipment such as binder brand incubators and laminar flow hoods that guarantee the complete innocuousness of the cellular product. The cells are obtained from Wharton Jelly (Umbilical Tissue) and Placenta tissue which is extracted from previously selected donors under a rigorous medical screening that includes complete clinical history, serologic tests (HIV, Hepatisis C and B, syphilis, and Chagas), with high inclusion criteria so that they can be candidates for the donation. Once the sample has been obtained, several studies evaluated by third-party laboratories authorized by COFEPRIS are carried out, such as flow cytometry, microbiological tests (mycoplasma and endotoxins).

In NHS in UK, pilot trial with injections into the brain. Here is a link to a study of 12 people, study ending 2023. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show...

According to this web page, first time stem cells injected directly into the brain was in 2010. Not sure if that is true as have not verified.

So the word on the street is, because Mexico has no health regulations officially, they opt in to comply to safety procedures, it reduces the interference in experimental research with stem cells in Mexico, so they have done a lot more and are at the forefront in the world. Apparently if you have stem cells injected in the USA, you never get the same strength as Mexico as regulation prevents it. Basically Mexico takes the cells, blossoms them up in a petri dish to multiply, then multiplies them again, then again until it becomes a very strong injection which has seen local healing to things like meniscus in the knee within days as confirmed by scan! The website in Mexico does not refer to brain injections for stroke. Email them and ask if they can send you any info for stroke. Share it here if you get a reply.
