The role of our immune system is to protect us from infection and diseases, although sometimes it may become overactive. When that occurs, the immune system may accidently attack healthy cells, resulting in autoimmune disorders. General signs of autoimmune dieases are typically vague, which includes: inflammation, low-grade fever, muscle aches, and fatigue.

Treatment varies based on the disease, but universally a reduction of the inflammation provides excellent relief for autoimmune conditions. Stem cell therapy can benefit autoimmne disorders, such as:

• Multiple sclerosis
• Lupus
• Lyme disease
• Psoriatic arthritis
• Rheumatic arthritis
• Scleroderma

How does stem cell therapy reduce symptoms of autoimmune diseases?

• Reduces inflammation
• Regulates immune responses
• Activates and recruits tissue specific cells
• Limits and remodels scarring

The Procedure

Stem cell treatments at TheSwissClinic are minimally invasive, most often an outpatient procedure so patient may go home the same day. Recovery times vary patient to patient, we strive to keep our patients downtime to the minimum. What happens at our clinic on the day of your procedure:

• Physician makes a tiny puncture through your skin either in abdomen or thighs, to harvest a small amount of fat.
• The fat is then processed in a Lipogems device using sterile saline solution. During this gentle process of micro-fragmentation, fat is washed, rinsed and resized into smaller clusters all while maintaining its natural healing phenomenon. This closed-loop system removes blood, fatty oils and inflammatory cells, leaving behind the concentrated fat (pericytes) which is therapeutic.
• Prior to stem cell therapy infusion, mannitol, a type of intravenous fliud, is administered. This is to facilitate the stem cells in crossing the blood brain barrier, for a more effective stem cells delivery.
• Physician injects the resultant cells into the blood stream intravenously. The amount administered is altered according to ones individualized treatment plan.
