Long before we came to know about stem-cell therapy, or regenerative medicine, this procedure has been making medical wonders for the last seven decades.
The popularity of this medical practice may be attributed to two things—the moral issues that hover over the fact that is still under medical studies, and the numerous testimonials of patients who have undergone the procedure and benefited from its efficacy.
Stem-cell therapy, in layman’s term, is simply a purely biological therapy by which fresh cell from a donor, from umbilical cord of a newborn baby or from our own cells (blood, fat, bone marrow), or from other source like sheep fetuses, are injected into the human body for treatment or restoration of functions and cell count of various organs and tissues, for fighting against incurable and inveterate diseases.
Stem cells have the power to regenerate new cells and tissues by performing a repair and a renewal process, restoring functionality. Regenerative medicine has the potential to provide a cure to failing or impaired tissues.
With the reemergence of this medical wonder, a doctor who believes in the power of regenerative medicine is dreaming to be at the forefront of this method by bringing into the country Regenestem last year.
Regenestem is widely acclaimed in North America as one of the premier, most trusted, and most cutting-edge that specializes in regenerative medicine, sports medicine, pain management, molecular orthopedics and Cell-based therapy.
Dr. Eric Yalung returns to the Philippines after his successful tenure as a medical consultant at Regenestem in Miami, Florida, US. With his years of expertise as one of the most prominent doctors in the field of cosmetic surgery, Yalung opens Regenestem Manila—its very first branch in Asia.
Regenestem Manila is the very first clinic in Asia of the Global Stem Cell Group, which is an international company focused on providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date stem-cell treatments to patients from across the world. This state-of-the-art medical center is home to a number of experienced doctors and medical staff covering a range of medical specialties with Yalung at the helm as medical director.
Regenestem Manila specializes in regenerative medicine using safest, most advanced technology available today. Regenestem Manila brings Asia its expertise in the fields of regenarative medicine, sports and athritis medicine, molecular Orthopedics, Cosmetic Surgery, Anti-Ageing at Dermatology.
According to Yalung, regenerative medicine is the future of medicine. However, he also admitted that the doctors are still divided. “Some doctors are still not believers of this method…to be honest it is still under medical studies. But like us, who believe in this procedure, we have seen its wonders.”
Yalung, however, said they want to educate their patients about the procedure, so they will understand the step by step process that can help them with their ordeal. “We do not over promise, or tell our patient that we will cure them. But we make them understand what will be done to them, the effects to their bodies. Because we only do autologous stem cells, which are derived from the patient’s own blood, bone marrow or fats, there is no side effect other than the method will have no effect to you at all.”
Since he started practicing regenerative medicine, according to him, he has witnessed how this method changed the lives of the people who experienced great improvement after getting the treatment.
One of the many central advocacies of Regenestem Manila is to introduce a highly effective, efficient and modern treatment to arthritis to the Philippine market. It is widely known that arthritis is one of the most bothersome and painful diseases that choose no age and gender.
“Here in the country, a lot of people—young and old—suffer from arthritis, and we want to share to them that there is hope for this debilitating disease. We have several patients that have undergone our treatments, and we’ve seen how they are now enjoying their new-found comfortable, pain-free mobility,” Yalung said.
Yalung added that the center offers high-tech facilities in the treatment and prevention of arthritis. It boasts of a wide range of treatments that addresses varied orthopedic conditions and injuries.
The center can also fully facilitate and organize stem-cell treatments to patients in the Philippines who wish to undergo the procedure in the US or any other country where there is a Regenestem treatment facility. Currently, there are Regenestem clinics at the US, Mexico, Dubai, Argentina and Chile.
