STEM CELLS PRESERVE, REPAIR AND RESTORE EYESIGHT
Faltering or failing eyesight is devastating to anyone, particularly to seniors. Approximately 200,000 Americans, many of which are seniors, slip into darkness each year with macular degeneration being one of the leading causes of irreversible visual loss in the United States. According to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, persons aged 75 years or older, age-related macular degeneration was the major cause of the increased prevalence of blindness. Macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy are eye diseases commonly associated with aging. In 1999, the American Journal of Ophthalmology wrote about Macular degeneration, “Reduced blood flow in the central retinal artery has been identified as a possible cause.” (American Journal of Ophthalmology, 128: 75-80) Without oxygen, the eye can not fight off diseases and leaves the eye vulnerable to infections. Sight-robbing diseases increase dramatically when oxygen deprived eyes are combined with other individual health factors including poor nutrition, elevated cholesterol, high blood fats and triglycerides, high serum bile acids and inflammatory aliments, along with others. Add this list of personal health issues with harmful personal lifestyle choices, such as smoking and not exercising, and the percentage for being diagnosed with an eyerelated disease or infection takes a quantum leap. Rather than permitting an individual’s eyesight to slide into darkness, Mission Viejobased physician, Dr. David A. Steenblock, D.O., approaches eye-related diseases and infections, with different, more progressive protocols. Dr. Steenblock utilizes advanced regenerative medicine therapies and protocols, including Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation to help treat, stop and reverse eye related infections and diseases. In a 2008 abstract in the Journal of American Medical Association, (JAMA. 2008;299(8):925-936.), Clinical Applications of Blood-Derived and MarrowDerived Stem Cells for Nonmalignant Diseases, by Richard K. Burt, MD; Yvonne Loh, MD; William Pearce, MD; Nirat Beohar, MD; Walter G. Barr, MD; Robert Craig, MD; Yanting Wen, MD; Jonathan A. Rapp, MD; John Kessler, MD stated, “Stem cells harvested from blood or marrow, whether administered as purified HSCs or mesenchymal stem cells or as an unmanipulated or unpurified product can, under appropriate conditions in select patients, provide disease-ameliorating effects in some autoimmune diseases and cardiovascular disorders.
In lieu of using lasers, phototherapy or prescription drugs, which can cause unwanted and unplanned side-effects, he works with patients to analyze their individual factors. After analysis, Dr. Steenblock sets forth a “game plan” to treat the whole individual using protocols to improving fragile, often leaky blood vessels with healthy blood vessels found within the macula. Dr. Steenblock also often employs medical treatment whereby Stem Cells are transplanted from the patient’s own body back into the patient. The Stem Cell protocol is administered intravenously and subcutaneously offering oxygen-rich cells back into the body. The Stem Cell protocol is virtually painless and is available through the Dr. David A. Steenblock, D.O., Inc., Clinic in Mission Viejo, California. The procedure takes place within the Steenblock Clinic in approximately one hour or less. Dr. David A. Steenblock says, “Stem Cell therapy offers ground-breaking results to patients who are looking to retain their vitality by maintaining or improving their eyesight. By using the patient’s own healthy stem cells, damaged or deficient cells are sought out, repaired or replaced and the result is better cells that deliver more oxygen. Stem cells are the wave of the future -- here now!
