HyperMED NeuroRecovery - The Final Frontier - 'Repair and Functional Restoration' The final frontier in the treatment of complex degenerative neurovascular disorders including brain and spinal cord injury is focused on ‘repair and functional restoration’. This involves the use of growth factors to promote axonal sprouting, activation of idling and non-functional neurons whilst promoting neovascularization (new capillary formation) of damaged areas. Research efforts to bridge spinal cord and brain cell lesions are also underway experimentally, using transplanted tissues and bridging devices. Developing biotechnology techniques and DNA restructuring show incredible promise, but the exquisite topographic organization of the ascending and descending nervous system pathways including the brain and spinal cord provide an extremely difficult hurdle still to be overcome. Success in these reconstructive efforts will undoubtedly overlap with the best outcome being the patient with capability to improve ‘neurovascular’ support into the damaged regions.
The objective of HyperMED Australia is to raise the awareness of HBOT coupled with Stem Cells applications to promote the best possible outcome for our patients. Stem Cells are NOT a magical bullet and not recommended as a 'cure all'; however Stem Cell application may well be the missing link; coupled with appropriate medical strategies that could make the incredible difference in the quality of life and existence of an individual. Used appropriately Stem Cells will ultimately change the management of virtually all degenerative disease including acute and chronic injury.
HyperMED Pre-Implantation Protocol 'Stem Cells have the greatest impact when patients receive pre implantation immune conditioning and enhancement protocols. However the current maze requires some careful consideration!
American Journal Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology (Nov 05)] reports a single 2-hour exposure to HBOT at 2 ATA doubles circulating CD34+ progenitor stem cells (primordial cells targeted to salvage and restore damaged structures); and at approx. 40-hours HBOT: CD34+ cells increases eight fold - 800%!
