What are Stem Cells ???
“Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell
types in the body during early life and growth.”

What is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) ?Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease” is
actually a neurodegenerative disease which badly damages the nerve cells
present in the brain and the spinal cord.

Advancells Treatment for ALSStep 1
Bone Marrow CollectionStep 2
Laboratory ProcessingStep 3
Stem Cell Implantation
• The collection of bone marrow is done from the hip bone (iliac crest) of the patient by using a thin needle to mini-puncture the skin under local
anesthesia.
• The stem cells from the collected bone marrow are evaluated to measure their strength and vitality in our
government-approved (CGMP),ultramodern laboratory.
• Through the process of intravenous administration or Lumbar puncture, the stem cells
are implanted onto the patient’s body.

PROCEDUREADVANTAGES WITH STEM CELL
TREATMENT
Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis (ALS) Therapy are also given like breath care, occupational therapy, speech therapy,
physiotherapy, nutritional care etc.
•Autologous bone marrow-derived stem cell therapy is safe and feasible in patients of ALS.
•Short-term follow-up of ALSFRS-R scores suggests a trend towards stabilization of disease.
Case Example
(Pre Stem Cell treatment symptoms)
Name of Patient : Jorge, Portugal
• First diagnosed with ALS in April 2008 at 60 years of age.
• There were several symptoms : sleeping problems, constipation,
excessive salivation, excessive phlegm, fatigue with no apparent
reason, difficulty to breathe, sudden loss of weight, a reduction in
muscle mass, muscle fasciculation and severe reduction of force.
• He had lot of difficulty to breathe without ventilator support and
also general lack of strength all over the body.
Post Stem Cells TreatmentName of Patient : Jorge, Portugal
After the stem cell treatment his current health status seems to be stabilized.
There were slight improvements on breathing, hand movement flexibility and muscle strength.
His neurologist in Portugal has confirmed these improvements by doing some simple tests and by comparing his health status now with what it was a few months before the treatment.
He recommend this treatment for all those patients who are surviving from ALS because “There is always hope, so you may want to consider taking this treatment”
In totality, there were 32 patients who were diagnosed previously to have had ALS. They underwent stem cell
treatment at Advancells and we followed their progress.
Some Facts
Fifty percent patients were
reported to have improved.
56.3% experienced improved
muscle strength, 37.5% reported
better sensory function and
motor function improved for
30.4% patients.
