UMBILICAL CORD STEM CELL THERAPIES

For the first time ever, South Africa now has top notch regenerative therapies available with umbilical cord tissue. As the world’s leader in offering umbilical cord stem cell and exosome therapies, R3 brings its decade of experience with over 21,000 procedures to the African continent to help patients achieve a better quality of life with safe and cost effective therapies.

Patients from all over the African continent already contact R3 Stem Cell for treatment, and now there are two locations in South Africa available. The first is R3 Stem Cell Johannesburg, which is a contemporary clinic where you will be greeted warmly like a member of the family. The clinic is not far from the Johannesburg International Airport, where R3’s team picks up patients at no charge.

Hotel accommodations are optional, and include the following first rate hotels at reasonable rates.

R3 Stem Cell Durban / Umhlanga is the second South African stem cell clinic. For those in the Durban area, or who would like a beachside experience, then it’s an excellent opportunity! In actuality, the R3 Stem Cell clinic is very similar to Johannesburg, with a contemporary interior that is spacious and inviting.

Patients come in to R3 Stem Cell South Africa from Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Soweto, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Pietermaritzburg, Benoni, Bloemfontein, Tembisa, East London, Vereeniging and surrounding areas. Along with from the entire African continent for the umbilical cord stem cell and exosome therapies. Why?

For years, it’s been shown in peer reviewed research studies worldwide just how exceptional the outcomes are with the donor biologics. Patients do not need to have any tissue harvested from them (no bone marrow or fat), and also do not need to worry about any issues with rejection.

In fact, the umbilical cord tissue does not provoke a rejection response. It is immunologically privileged, without HLA-2 markers that would normally provoke a rejection reaction. In addition, the mesenchymal stem cells in the tissue have never been shown to cause or exacerbate a tumor/cancer. While in theory it could happen, research studies have continually shown umbilical cord tissue to be non-tumorigenic.

What’s in the umbilical cord tissue? In actuality, there are a plethora of regenerative elements that assist with patient’s regeneration of damaged tissue. These include stem cells, growth factors, cytokines, hyaluronic acid and exosomes as well. The combination is similar to an orchestra, where the individual musicians work together to create an incredible sound. In the case of regenerative therapy, that sound is patients recovering!

Where does the umbilical cord tissue come from?

R3 gets asked all the time if we’re harming babies. The answer is no! The umbilical cord tissue is donated by consenting mothers after a scheduled c-section in the USA. The screening process prior to donation is extensive. The questionnaires alone contain over 200 questions regarding risk factors, lifestyle, family history and more. All of the answers and tests are reviewed by a Medical Director prior to the tissue being released.

Extensive blood work is performed on the mother as well as the umbilical cord tissue at third party, accredited labs. FDA regulations require extensive quality assurance, with a long list of diseases that must be tested for along with microbiological entities (bacteria, virus, fungus).

Only when ALL of the items tested for are negative, is the tissue eligible for use with patients. The umbilical cord tissue is kept cryopreserved after processing, and is thawed out a few minutes prior to the procedure. Stem Cell viability averages 85%, and patients do not need testing prior to the procedure for compatibility. As mentioned above, the umbilical cord tissue is immunologically privileged so it does not lead to a rejection response.

What are the results with umbilical cord stem cell therapy?

In the past 5 years, R3 Stem Cell’s global centers have performed more procedures than ANY other regenerative company. The procedures have been performed using over 20 customized protocols to help patients with over 50 different conditions!

These include:

• Orthopedic – Arthritis, Tendonitis, Sports Injuries, Back/Neck Pain
• Autoimmune – RA, Lupus, Psoriasis and more
• Organ Failure – Heart, Kidney, Liver, Lung failure
• Neurologic Conditions – Stroke, ALS, MS, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, etc
• Urologic – Erectile Dysfunction
• Diabetes – Type 1 and Type 2

One of the main reasons patients currently seek treatment is for Anti Aging. And you know what? It’s fantastic for that! There are several studies that have shown umbilical tissue, exosomes and amniotic fluid are great at reducing overall body inflammation, modulating the immune system, and reducing the markers of aging dramatically.

R3 constantly asks for feedback from patients after procedures. Year over year, 85% of patients state they would do it again and/or recommend the procedure to friends and family. That is truly incredible, and just one of the reasons R3 is the go-to stem cell patient provider in Africa.
