Endless Possibilities

Stem cell treatments and therapies are a hot topic these days, but sometimes it is hard to know what is really going on with stem cell research, development and treatments around the world. The confusion associated with stem cell R & D and treatments arises when people generalize claims or truth about stem cells. In many parts of the world, the United States included, stem cell treatments are not available as part of the regular health care system and there is limited access to treatments that could potentially save and prolong life. To help you decide for yourself about stem cell treatments and therapies, research and development, we’ve put together a list of eight things you need to know about stem cells.

Not all stem cells are right for all people. There are several different kinds of stem cells and sometimes the mistake is made in thinking that a stem cell is a stem cell, but it’s not the case. We have stem cells inside of us, but certain stem cells are not helpful in repairing or healing other cells in our bodies. Stem cells can be created. Breakthroughs have been made that mean we no longer have to rely on embryonic stem cells to see lasting change in the health and wellness of people around the world. Much of the controversy surrounding stem cell use has been alleviated by this discovery; however, not enough has been shared and ingrained in dinner table conversation for people to accept that it’s option. Stem cell treatments don’t work for everyone, but the research provides a great deal of evidence to suggest that stem cells are the best hope people will have for prolonging life and maintaining a high quality of life in the future. Your own stem cells might not be what is needed to conduct treatment. SCI is going to be able to connect people using the SCIApplication to buy and sell stem cells; this means that people who require stem cell transplants or treatments will have access to cells that are available and are a match for their needs. Everyone has their own version of “better” — while many people swear by stem cell treatments, it’s important to remember that the term “better” is a relative term and that much work goes into confirming research and development progress. SCI is leading the way in the realm of R & D to help patients find the relief they need. Lack of access is forcing people to do “whatever is necessary” to gain access to stem cells. When it is thought that stem cell treatment might prolong your life, you might be willing to do anything to get that treatment, including leave the country at a substantial cost to you. SCI’s blockchain-based platform is going to connect patients and stem cell specialists that are within a few hours’ travels of one another, so expensive travel and lengthy treatment times will be a thing of the past. We’re better for the work being done. While some might not agree that stem cells are the answer to the health care crisis around the world, the work that is being conducted in research and development, treatments and therapies cannot be denied as progress. SCI is leading the way to help educate and inform people about the possibilities of stem cells so that there is no more confusion about what is possible for people. There’s a lot of research sitting on the shelf because of legislation. Great strides have been made in the R&D departments of stem cell labs around the world but because of bureaucracy and other roadblocks, patients can’t access to the stem cell treatments that could drastically improve their lives.

There is always a great deal of discomfort in society when the possibility of life-changing treatment is just over the horizon and we wonder and worry if it’s really true. Trying not to get our hopes up, we feed into the negative media and probable cause, but the reality is that much of the research and development being done regarding stem cells is providing amazing results that bring hope to a lot of people around the world. SCI is helping to fuel that hope and provide direct access to the source of that hope — stem cells — for people around the world.
