Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects people of various ages, regardless of status or origin, making this widespread issue a concern for many. The course of this disease and its consequences are nearly impossible to predict. Although many specialists say that this chronic disease cannot be stopped, a new method in medicine has emerged that allows for combating this problem.
With the help of stem cells, it is possible not only to stabilize the patient's condition but also to halt the progression and worsening of the disease. Multiple sclerosis occurs when immune cells mistakenly attack the myelin sheath of neurons as if it were a foreign body, leading to scarring on brain tissue. The progression of multiple sclerosis adversely affects all bodily functions, particularly memory, coordination, thinking, and vision.
Treatment for multiple sclerosis in Israel using stem cells is markedly different from the use of chemical drugs. This method allows for the complete renewal of the myelin sheath, giving the individual the opportunity for full recovery.
The use of stem cells is justified by their unique property of being able to transform into the cells of the tissues where they are placed. Therefore, they are used to restore brain cells and the sheaths of nerve fibers.
Multiple sclerosis arises from reduced immunity, and stem cells enhance it, making it more resilient. Additionally, the cellular therapy applied helps to restore the scars formed as a result of myelin destruction in the brain.
Stem cell treatment in Israel occurs in several stages. The first stage involves harvesting material from the body and growing cells in a laboratory. After this, half of the grown material is injected into the body, while the other half is frozen for future use. Six months later, the patient undergoes a repeat intravenous cell infusion.
This treatment method is also effective because the patient does not need to stay in the hospital for an extended period; after implantation, they can comfortably go home and engage in their usual activities. The results will be most effective if cellular therapy is combined with other available treatment methods.
