Got straight from the Tiantan Doctors in charge (allegedly) ...

"Tiantan Puhua Hospital in Beijing is the only hospital that provides stem cell therapy specifically to treat Parkinson’s disease. Our hospital is one of the largest in Asia and offers some of the best neurological treatment through advanced stem cell procedures for a wide variety of neurological diseases.



The clinical trial with Spheramines are similar in that that both treatments involve hRPE stem cells implantation (human Retina Pigment Epithelial cells, are adult stem cells that naturaly produce dopamine.) both treatments are involve stereotactic brain surgery for delivering the stem cell into the functional target in the brain.



However, there are some significant differences:



1. Spheramines are special carriers in which the stem cell are delivered that helps the cells to survive inside the body.

2. Tiantan Puhua hospital does not use Spheramines technology. Instead, we use a unique treatment called: self stem cell activation and proliferation treatment:

Every treatment involves daily IV (intravenous) of neuro-trophic factors and medicines that prepare the micro environment in the patient’s brain to accept the cells, help their survival and help their proliferation.

3. This daily IV also activates the inactive stem cells in the patient’s own brain.

4. Tiantan’s program include daily physiotherapy that is essential for the stem cells growth and proliferation.

5. Tiantan’s treatment is not applied under the limitation of clinical trials, and therefore every treatment is tailored according to each patient individual condition, symptoms, age, etc."
