Stem Cell Therapy for Lyme Disease

Lyme Disease is an infectious or bacterial disease caused due to the bite of infected ticks by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. This disease can affect the central nervous system, skin, heart, and eyes, making it the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. People living in wooded or hilly areas, or those with pets, are at higher risk of contracting Lyme disease.

Within a few minutes, the body starts reacting to the bite causing cardinal symptoms. In severe cases, the infection can cause degeneration in the central nervous system. Stem Cell Therapy for Lyme Disease is an innovative treatment option to reverse the damage to central nervous system cells and structures due to infection. Moreover, Stem Cell Therapy still requires a bit of patience, research, and ethical considerations to be practiced around the globe.

The primary cause of Lyme disease is the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, which is transmitted to humans via tick bites. The transmission occurs when immature or adult ticks infected with the bacterium bite humans. Immature ticks are less than 2 mm in size, making them difficult to detect, while adult ticks are more visible and should be removed promptly if found on the body. The disease is most actively transmitted and ticks reproduce in the winter season.

Symptoms can appear within 3 to 30 days of infection.

Common symptoms include:

Headaches, fever, tremors, joint/muscle pain, and swollen lymph nodes

Red rash (erythema migraines) with a bull's-eye appearance at the bite site

In more severe or untreated cases, symptoms may include:

• Swelling and pain in larger joints
• Dizziness and palpitations
• Severe neck stiffness and headaches due to cerebral inflammation
• Facial paralysis
• Lesions in joints and other areas
• Severe and intermittent joint pain
• Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (persistent symptoms even after antibiotic treatment)

The initial treatment involves diagnostic blood tests to confirm Lyme disease. Once diagnosed, antibiotic therapy is the most effective treatment. Typically, a few weeks of antibiotics can lead to a favorable prognosis. However, residual symptoms may persist even after treatment, and in severe cases, cellular damage may not be treatable with conventional therapies. In such cases, bacteria may develop resistance to medications, necessitating alternative treatments.

Recent advancements in stem cell therapy (SCT) suggest it could be a promising alternative for treating Lyme disease and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, alleviating Lyme disease symptoms.

Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy:

• Reduction in painful symptoms
• Immune system regulation
• Assistance in eradicating Borrelia bacteria

Stem cell therapy has shown effectiveness in treating over 350 diseases associated with Lyme disease. The efficacy of SCT depends on the duration (acute or chronic), the patient's condition, and age. In severe cases, multiple treatments may be necessary.

Neurological diseases like stroke, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease have high mortality and morbidity rates, impairing brain function. Conventional treatments include endovascular thrombectomy (ET), intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA), and other medications.

A modern approach involves using exosomes with stem cell therapy. Research shows that exosomes can enhance:

• Angiogenesis
• Neurogenesis in ischemic boundary zones
• Neurite remodeling
• Synaptic plasticity

Combining stem cell therapy with exosomes can improve functional, tissue-level, and cellular recovery in individuals with neurological diseases. Post-Stroke Benefits of Exosomal Therapy:

Oligodendrogenesis: Formation of new oligodendrocytes Remyelination: Restoration of the myelin sheath

Axonal Sprouting: Growth of new axons

Exosomes also boost the expression of neuroprotective microRNAs (miR-133b, miR-210, miR-184, miR-17-92), aiding in disease prognosis.

These innovative treatments offer a comprehensive approach to managing Lyme disease and associated neurological disorders, providing hope for improved patient outcomes and quality of life.

Generally, Stem Cell Therapy has a satisfactory safety profile, good prognosis, and effectiveness.

However, no medical procedure is 100% safe; the most frequent or common risk factors of SCT can be:

Pain around the injection area

Bleeding from site of injection

Fever

Allergic reactions

Lethargy and fatigue

The Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at The Renue Centre is a holistic approach to treating Lyme Disease.

Your Renue Journey does not end after your last day of SCT. We follow up with you to assert your progress, following four phases:

Pre-treatment: Clinical evaluation, lab test results, and other diagnostic procedures.

You will take our Renue Epigenetic Test powered by TruDiagnostics that will assert your biological age and other important health markers. Your TruDiagnostics test is part of The Renue Difference. It provides your doctor with critical information about your health and your true age (biological vs. chronological). After the epigenetic test and we have received all your medical records, your Patient Advisor will assist you in planning your travel to Puerto Vallarta.

Treatment day: Stem Cells obtained from the specific area are then processed to be suitable for administration inside the patient's body. In case of chronic disease duration, the patient will require more sessions and cells to counter the effects of long-term degeneration in the body. In case of severe disease, the treatment is given in either three consecutive sessions or each session 45-days apart. The number of stem cells administered is also customizable according to the weight, health condition, and age of the patient.

30, 60 & 90 days after the treatment: To check for flare-up frequency and improvements

Six months after treatment: Lab tests, flare-up frequency, clinical evaluation, quality of life, and disease prognosis

SCT to live a better life: Benefits and outcomes

The effectiveness of Stem Cell Treatment can improve all your symptoms, causing a considerable impact on your quality of life and daily activities.

As part of The Renue Difference, you will receive three Hyperbaric Chamber sessions that greatly improve SCT efficacy and stimulate the body cells to combat Lyme Disease (LD). These sessions comprise three days: one day before treatment, after treatment, and on the day of treatment.

According to results, clinical outcomes, and pre and post-treatment observations, SCT has been shown to help

Reduce LD progression

Speed up tissue repair

Regrow and repair tissues after six months

After the SCT procedure, an MRI test depicts the further need for the treatment at a specific body site.

Talk to our Patient Advisor to learn more about SCT at The Renue Centre.

Expected results and prognosis:

Expected result 1: Immediate control of associated symptoms of the LD post-treatment and improvement of the body rash

Expected result 2: Less sleeping disturbances, swelling of lymph nodes, improvement in joint pain and swelling, and decrease in the frequency of severe headaches

Expected result 3: A more satisfying prognosis with improved life quality, less fatigue, and energetic feeling, fewer chances of recurrent symptoms of the disease

Allergic reactions are preventable through pre-injection history and care. Moreover, anti-anaphylaxis drugs and Stem Cells Therapy can also be given to reduce the chances of allergic reactions in the patients. Fever, lethargy, and pain are managed through the appropriate drugs along with the treatment. Bleeding and swelling of the injured site are manageable via proper technique.

The benefits and effects of Stem Cell Therapy depend on several factors: the patient's health condition, underlying issues, lifestyle, and others. To assess your expected results, we would like to know more about you. A medical advisor will talk to you about your diagnosis and treatment options and collect information for the attending physician; they can answer all your initial questions:

Will the therapy work for my case?

What does the treatment involve? Is it painful?

Is it expensive? How much does it cost?
