Treatment Evaluation Process
In order to be evaluated for treatment, patients must complete an online medical history form. Once you've completed the online medical history and submitted it, a patient relations consultant will contact you. He or she will assist you with the rest of the evaluation process. Upon treatment approval, your consultant will also assist you with treatment scheduling and trip preparation.
The XCell-Center is a private clinic group and institute for regenerative medicine located in Düsseldorf and Cologne, Germany. Bringing together therapeutical use of autologous adult stem cells and medical research, it is our mission to:
Provide therapeutic application of autologous adult stem cells to patients at the highest medical standard;
Extend existing knowledge on the effects of autologous adult stem cells by supporting pre-clinical and clinical research.
We offer patients with degenerative diseases the opportunity to undergo an innovative and promising stem cell treatment.
Since the start in January 2007, more than 3000 patients have safely undergone our various stem cell treatments.

The other patients did not notice any clinical change or did mention natural disease progression.
According to 21 of those patients, their physicians did confirm their improvements; five patients were able to decrease and four patients could even fully discontinue their Parkinson's disease related medication.
Most patients reported a decrease of motor parkinsonism (N=29), including rigidity and tremor, resulting in improved speech (N=24), dexterity (N=23), swallowing (N=20), handwriting (N=20), and stability (N=19). Thirty patients also noticed increased motivation and/or initiative.

Our daughter, Iarina, has suffered a massive stroke sometimes around birth, with very serious consequences: secondary epilepsy, severe motor retardation, hemiparesis on her right side. Iarina was experiencing 50-60 epileptic seizures daily (possibly more), even though she was taking antiepileptic medicine. Her right foot and especially her right hand were very affected. Iarina was not even able to open her right fist to pick up a toy.

When she was 1 year and two months old, she was not able to sit up on her own; she could turn over on her side only with great difficulty. During the night we had to turn her from one side to the other so that she would not remain in the same position for 8-9 hours. During the day, she was happy enough to remain sitting in a baby chair for 2 hours or more. But even more frightening for us as parents was the fact that Iarina was not trying to speak at all, although we constantly encouraged her. We could only hope that she understood us. We do not need to describe how upset we were as parents, knowing that the chances for improvement for our daughter were minimal or even non-existent.
Stem cell treatment in Cologne / February 2008

show soon:

By the time that we arrived at XCell-Center, Iarina was already able to walk by herself. Her balance was not the best in the world: she was falling every few steps, but still- the progress that she had made was obvious. In spite of the progress we saw in Iarina, we were somehow hesitant to do another transplant. Like any parent, we wondered if there might be possible side affects. But after speaking again with the clinic's doctor and after being reassured that there is no risk of tumors and only good things can come out of this treatment, we decided to do it.

Just like the first time, Iarina went thru the intervention very well: no nausea, no back pain, ho headaches. Once again, she was surrounded by the attentive and caring medical staff of the Clinic. Iarina was able to leave the clinic shortly after the procedure. Positive affects started to show soon: she became capable of lifting her right hand up to her head; her vocabulary was a little bit improved. But the most important progress was that in a few months her right heel finally was able to reach the floor when she walked.

This was not happening before the second transplant. We had been told that in order to achieve this, Iarina would probably need to have an Achilean tendon surgery. We also had her wearing a leg orthosis (to prevent genum reccurvatum) for about 10 months. Since then, her leg position has become better and no one is expecting her to need tendon surgery! With the stem cells as a foundation, and with doing a complex set of exercises twice daily with a specialized physiotherapist, we hope we will manage to "fix" that leg for good!
