Medical Tourism Resource Guide offers stem cell therapy for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We have multiple facilities in Mexico (Tijuana, Guadalajara, etc) to help treat the MS.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), is a serious condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. In MS nerve damage is caused by inflammation, because of a lack of of myelin sheath - the protective covering of the nerve cells. Nerve damage can lead to unwanted symptoms including muscle, bowel and bladder, eye, numbness, brain and nerve, sexual, speech and swallowing, and other issues.

Multiple Sclerosis has limited treatments, but some patients are having success with stem cell therapy.

Scientists have improved upon their own previous world-best efforts to pluck out just the right stem cells to address the brain problem at the core of multiple sclerosis and a large number of rare, fatal children's diseases. Source.

For the first time ever, stem cells from umbilical cords have been converted into other types of cells, which may eventually lead to new treatment options for spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis, among other nervous system diseases. Source.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Stem Cell Therapy in Mexico

It was just over a year ago that the worlds first laboratory-grown hamburger was introduced to the world.The in-vitro meat (aka test tube meat, cultured meat, cruelty-free meat, and my favorite, shmeat)took four years to growfrom cow stem cells and cost a meaty $332,000.Cultured in-vitro meator frankenburger, as the press dubbed itis the brainchild of a Dutch biologist, Mark Post, of the University of Maastricht. The single burger, created from 20,000 strands of muscle tissue grown in petri dishes, got some lukewarm reviews.

It wasnt unpleasant, Chicago food writer Josh Schonwald wrote. More enthusiastically, food researcher Hanni Rutzler commented, Thats some intense flavor. Because the meat was cultured from muscle with no fat cells, it lacked juiciness, and was reminiscent of an overdone dry turkey burger. Still, the consensus was that it tasted better than expected, had the consistency of real meat, and for a first try, was not discouraging. Post told NBC News, Im very excited. It took a long time to get this far. I think this is a very good start.

While anyone who has seen videos of the horrific conditions factory-farmed cows, pigs and chickens endure in their short, tortured lives might agree that in-vitro meat is a good idea, theres an even more pressing reason to figure out a way to grow meat: the production of meat on planet Earth is killing us. It takes up more than half of our agricultural capacity, and as the economies of China and other developing nations grow, and as their citizens demand more meat on their dinner tables, that capacity will be strained even further.

Here are some of the more staggering statistics:

Already in the Gulf of Mexico, there is a dead zone the size of Massachusetts, the water so compromised that no fish can live in it. Combine this with the meat itself, often pumped full of antibiotics and hormones, not to mention potentially harmful bacteria due to the inadequate inspection protocol, and it all adds up to a catastrophe in the making.

Enter the in-vitro meat enthusiasts. A study at Oxford University demonstrated that the production of in-vitro meat is far more energy efficient than factory farming, and resulted in far fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Successfully growing meat would eliminate the enormous stresses factory farming puts on the environment, and it would meet the growing developing worlds demand for meat.

While it is doubtful lab-grown meat could take the place of the real stuff at 300 grand a burger, that price could come down, drastically, as Mark Post and other scientists perfect the process and as a market begins to emerge for it.There is money behind the effort. Big money. Sergey Brin, the billionaire co-founder of Google, has largely funded the frankenburger initiative.

Hes as determined as we are to make this happen, Post told Time magazine. A year after the burgers debut, Brin continues to fund the program, and Posts team has grown. The goal is to produce meat indistinguishable from slaughterhouse meat. The color needs work as well as the taste and texture. The first burger was artificially colored (its natural color resembled chicken more than beef). Future lab burgers will be produced with a substance called myoglobin, the protein that makes red meat red. Scientists will grow fat tissues to make the burger juicier.

To bring the price down, they will need to grow the meat in a new medium. Currently it is grown in fetal bovine serum (FBS), which comes from unborn slaughterhouse calves. Aside from the animal welfare aspects of that fact, fetal bovine serum is extremely expensive. Various vegetable and yeast-based broths are being explored asalternatives.

Science adviser The post of chief scientific adviser to the European Commission came under attack again on 19August when nearly two dozen non-governmental organizations called on the incoming president of the commission to scrap the job. In an open letter to Jean-Claude Juncker, groups including Friends of the Earth Europe added their weight to an existing campaign to abolish the science role. The letter argues that the position concentrates too much influence in one person. The mandate of the commissions current chief scientific adviser, Anne Glover, is scheduled to end later this year.

Trial enrolment The US Food and Drug Administration published a plan on 20August to ensure that women and racial and ethnic minority groups are adequately included in clinical trials. The action plan aims to collect data on population subgroups in trials, to encourage and enable more women and minority groups to enrol, and to make the demographic make-up of trials more transparent. It will be implemented in stages over the next five years. The agency also published guidance on evaluating how medical devices might function differently in men and women.

Helm et al./The Cryosphere

Satellites pinpoint ice loss The massive ice sheets in Antarctica (pictured) and Greenland are together shrinking at a rate of 500 cubickilometres per year the fastest pace since satellite altimetry began 20 years ago. The European Space Agencys CryoSat-2 probe collected precise elevation data for both ice sheets (Antarcticas shown on right). The greatest ice loss (shown on left in red) between 2011 and 2014 occurred at Pine Island glacier in western Antarctica and at Jakobshavn glacier in Greenland. The findings were reported on 20August by researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute in Potsdam, Germany (V.Helm et al.Cryosphere 8, 15391559; 2014).

MERS model Marmosets are the best animal model for Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Research on the MERS coronavirus was hindered by the lack of an animal model that showed the same respiratory symptoms as humans when infected with the virus. In two studies published on 21 August, researchers from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases showed that the virus could infect marmosets, and that the animals symptoms mimic the severe pneumonia seen in humans (D.Falzarano etal. PLoS Pathog. 10, e1004250 (2014); N. van Doremalen et al. J. Virol. 88, 92209232 (2014)).

African farming The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), a science-based non-governmental organization in Nairobi has helped 1.7million African farmers to rejuvenate 1.6million hectares of land, and to double, or even triple, crop yields over the past five years through its Soil Health Programme. AGRA reported the results on 22 August. The programme tests and teaches techniques to improve soil fertility and makes chemical fertilizers more affordable for poor farmers. Depleted soils cost African farmers US$4billion a year in lost productivity.

Stem-cell go-ahead Regulators in the United States have cleared the way for a clinical trial of a prospective stem-cell-derived treatment for type 1 diabetes. On 19August, ViaCyte of San Diego, California, said that the Food and Drug Administration has given it permission for a phase I/II clinical trial of a product that consists of pancreatic precursor cells packaged in a mesh pouch. ViaCytes treatment could become one of only a handful of human embryonic-stem-cell-derived products to be trialled in people, and will be an important test for the effectiveness of Californias state stem-cell institute, which provided funding to develop the product.

Icelandic volcano After a reported eruption on 23August turned out to be a false alarm, Icelands Brarbunga volcano continued to rumble deep underground. Since seismic activity began on 16August, thousands of earthquakes have shaken the ground north and east of the volcano. They show where magma is squirting up from below and forming a freshly cooled sheet of rock, or dyke, a few kilometres deep. As of 25August, the dyke was thought to be nearly 35kilometres long and to contain 300million cubic metres of magma. Aviation authorities remained on alert in case an eruption spewed ash into the air. See go.nature.com/iidaau for more.

Ebola in fifth nation The Democratic Republic of Congo became the fifth African nation to confirm cases of Ebola, on 24August. On the same day, a Senegalese epidemiologist was reported as the first person working for the World Health Organization (WHO) to contract the disease. On 22August, the WHO said that the official count of 2,615cases and 1,427deaths probably underestimates the true size of the epidemic. It blamed community resistance to reporting cases and a lack of adequate treatment facilities. The agency thinks that the epidemic could last for another 9months. See page355 for more.
