Bone Marrow Stem Cells
Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy
Dr. Edgar Payan’s Advanced Cancer Treatment (ACT) protocol prioritizes strengthening the body’s natural defenses rather than relying on therapies that can weaken it. Chemotherapy, for example, often damages the immune system by reducing the body’s ability to produce blood cells, which leaves patients vulnerable to infection and weakens their overall health. Dr. Payan’s ACT protocol is designed to preserve and support the immune system from the start.
Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy and Biocompatibility
By using Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy, the patient’s own stem cells are harvested, purified, and reintroduced into the body through an IV. This technique avoids the risks associated with donor cells and minimizes rejection or adverse immune reactions. Since the therapy uses the patient’s own cells, it is highly compatible with the body, supporting natural healing while also targeting cancer cells effectively.
Safe, Minimally Invasive Procedure
This approach is minimally invasive, requiring only mild sedation for a bone marrow aspiration that typically lasts 15-20 minutes. After harvesting, the cells are enhanced and infused back into the body, making this a safe and straightforward process that offers significant potential for regenerating healthy tissue and reinforcing the immune system.
Accessibility of Advanced Therapies
In the United States, treatments like Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy and Dendritic Cell Therapy are not typically covered by insurance and can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. At CMN Hospital, Dr. Payan’s ACT program offers these therapies to qualifying patients with no additional fees, making advanced cancer care more accessible.
Stanford Study Highlights on Breast Cancer
Research from Stanford University demonstrated that Stage 4 breast cancer patients receiving cancer-free stem cells had a median survival rate of 60 months, compared to 28 months for those receiving untreated cells. This study underscored the life-extending benefits of autologous stem cell therapy in advanced cases. In Dr. Payan’s protocol, the benefits are enhanced by avoiding chemotherapy, which often compromises the immune system and the body’s ability to heal.
Why Avoid Chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy, while helpful in some cases, often impacts the body’s ability to produce blood cells, making it harder for the body to heal. This reduction in blood cell production limits the body’s defenses, leaving patients more vulnerable to infections and side effects. Dr. Payan’s approach avoids this issue, focusing instead on bolstering immune cells—such as T cells, B cells, and NK cells—thus improving the overall chances of recovery.
Integrated Dendritic Cell Therapy
Dendritic Cell Therapy, a cornerstone of Dr. Payan’s ACT program, is included for all qualifying patients. This therapy works by activating T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells, creating a targeted immune response. While this therapy is costly in the United States, CMN Hospital provides it as part of a comprehensive care plan with no additional fees for eligible patients.
Comprehensive, Inclusive Care
At CMN Hospital, Dr. Payan’s ACT program includes therapies like Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy and Dendritic Cell Therapy as part of a holistic approach. The program supports healing by maintaining the immune system’s natural ability to fight cancer, reducing the harsh side effects commonly associated with other treatment methods, and offering high-quality cancer care in an all-inclusive framework.
Fighter Cells in the Human Body's Bone Marrow
Bone marrow is a vital source of various immune cells that play crucial roles in defending the body against infections and diseases, including cancer. These cells, often referred to as “fighter” cells, are central to CMN Hospital’s Advanced Cancer Treatment protocol, which harnesses the body’s natural defense mechanisms. Here are the key fighter cells produced in the bone marrow:
1. T Lymphocytes (T Cells)
- Helper T Cells (CD4+ T Cells) – Aid in the activation and function of other immune cells.
- Cytotoxic T Cells (CD8+ T Cells) – Directly attack and kill infected or cancerous cells.
- Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) – Modulate the immune response to prevent autoimmune reactions.
2. B Lymphocytes (B Cells)
- Plasma Cells – Produce antibodies that target and neutralize pathogens.
- Memory B Cells – Remember previous infections and respond quickly upon re-exposure.
3. Natural Killer (NK) Cells
Natural Killer Cells are essential for attacking and destroying virus-infected cells and tumor cells without prior sensitization, which makes them invaluable for cancer therapy.
4. Monocytes
- Macrophages – Engulf and digest pathogens, dead cells, and cellular debris.
- Dendritic Cells – Present antigens to T cells to initiate an adaptive immune response.
5. Granulocytes
- Neutrophils – Rapidly respond to infection by engulfing and destroying bacteria and fungi.
- Eosinophils – Combat multicellular parasites and participate in allergic reactions.
- Basophils – Release histamine and other chemicals during allergic responses and inflammation.
6. Mast Cells
Mast cells release histamine and other mediators involved in allergic reactions and inflammation.
7. Megakaryocytes
Megakaryocytes produce platelets (thrombocytes) that are crucial for blood clotting and wound healing.
These cells, produced in the bone marrow, constitute the body's primary defense mechanisms. They are integral to CMN Hospital’s approach, which leverages the patient’s own cells to bolster immune responses, minimize adverse effects, and maintain healthy blood cell production.
Overview of CMN's Approach
At CMN Hospital, Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy is a minimally invasive treatment requiring only mild sedation. This safe and effective procedure involves extracting stem cells from the patient’s own bone marrow, purifying and enhancing them, and then reintroducing them into the body through an IV. This process regenerates healthy tissue, strengthens the immune system, and targets cancer cells, all without the complications associated with donor-derived treatments.
Why Use Your Own Stem Cells?
Biocompatibility
Since the therapy uses the patient’s own stem cells, there is no risk of rejection or adverse immune responses. This eliminates the need for a donor and the complications that can arise with genetic mismatches.
Non-Invasive Process
The bone marrow aspiration is performed under mild sedation, ensuring patient comfort. Stem cells are collected from the hip bone in a quick, 15-20 minute procedure.
Purification and Reinfusion
Once harvested, the stem cells are purified and enhanced before being reintroduced into the body. This process boosts the immune system, helping the body naturally target and eliminate cancer cells while regenerating healthy tissue.
Effectiveness and Long-Term Safety
Autologous bone marrow stem cell therapy is a safe procedure, with extensive research indicating low risks of complications. While individual results may vary, many patients experience significant improvements. Side effects, such as temporary soreness or fatigue, are typically mild and manageable with proper care.
Why Choose CMN Hospital?
CMN Hospital specializes in using autologous stem cell therapy as part of a comprehensive cancer treatment program. We focus on minimally invasive procedures that prioritize patient safety and comfort. Our therapy supports the body’s natural immune system, offering an effective treatment without the toxic side effects associated with aggressive chemotherapy.
