Important facts about Cord Blood infusion treatment
  • Moderate improvement in motoric and cognitive functions after the treatment is highly probable, based on published results of clinical studies. These clinical studies have been conducted on patients with cerebral palsy and stroke.
  • Risks of cord blood infusion are very low, well known and transparent. They are comparable to the risks of blood cells transfusion.
  • Some patients experience higher improvement and others lower.
  • CBC Health is accustomed to accommodating patients from all over the world with the help of our Medical Concierge. We provide assistance throughout the whole process of getting to and from our European clinics.
Industry Support for Cord Blood Stem Cell Treatments
What they (stem cells) do is to pump out very powerful growth factors, molecules and proteins that enhance native mechanisms of recovery, such as new synapses of neurons that are there, new blood vessels, and they have a very profound effect on modulating the immune system."
Dr. Gary Steinberg, Professor and Chair of Neurology
Stanford University School of Medicine
"Factors secreted by the transplanted (umbilical cord) cells were able to offer a neuroprotective effect. This may relate to the cells secreting vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF), brain-derived growth factors (BDNF), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), all of which have potential benefits for the treatment of stroke."
"We believe that the primitive cells found in whole umbilical cord blood can help reduce swelling in the brain faster and rescue some brain cells that are on the brink of death."
