Stem Cell Treatment for Anti-Aging

We provide safe highest quality stem cell infusions in our state-of-the-art center in the beautiful Caribbean island nation of Antigua to improve health, decrease inflammation, and potentially increase lifespan - in combination with a comprehensive anti-aging program. Stem cells are evolutionarily developed and genetically programmed to help heal our body. For this reason, they are arguably the most important part of our body’s anti-aging capability. 

Protocol:

We obtain stem cells from our partners at Vitro Biopharma in Golden, Colorado, a world leader in the production of cultured umbilical adult (not fetal or embryonic) mesenchymal stem cells. They supply cells for universities such as Harvard and Stanford and for FDA studies. The cells are flown into Antigua on liquid nitrogen expressly for our patients where they are infused intravenously. The entire treatment is painless and takes under an hour. In conjunction with our stem cell infusions, we also provide a comprehensive anti-aging regimen described below, not found at other stem cell centers. 

TruAge: 

In an ongoing study that includes 22 patients so far, we have found that most, but not all, patients had evidence of aging reversal and decreased susceptibility to cancer as measured by the condition of their DNA after stem cell injection. We test patients before and after stem cell treatment using the 'Tru-Age" simple blood test. This measures their telomere length, DNA methylation, and mitotic index. It also gives a physiologic age, vs chronologic age, which declined in most patients. This is one of the only studies of any treatment showing evidence of actual anti-aging effects. 

Collaboration:

The field of anti-aging medicine has grown from theoretical practices to real bench-proven methods, especially over the last 10 years in large part due to the work of Dr. Steve Horvath, PhD, from UCLA, Dr. David Sinclair, PhD, from Harvard, and several others who are pioneering this exciting field. Dr. Horvath has been able to determine our Biologic (vs actual Chronologic) age, via his Horvath Clock. This epigenetic-based clock uses changes in methylation on your DNA to determine how old you are on a cellular level. This has been quite revolutionary and also quite accurate and can predict someone’s age on blind specimen testing up to 6 months per Dr. David Sinclair’s interview recently. Currently, this Horvath clock can be used to experiment in lab settings with blood samples (most accurate) to determine one’s approximate biological age. Although this treatment is not yet generally accessible to the public, this technology has given significant insight into what anti-aging approaches actually work in these research labs.

Dr. David Sinclair, PhD, is a Genetics professor at Harvard and has made incredible leaps into the field of actual anti-aging in his rodent models. He has been able to use amazing molecules like NAD+ via its precursors NMN and NR to actually reverse the age of elderly mice. In fact, in one of his last papers, he was able to take an aged female infertile mouse and restore fertility. Dr. Sinclair has also been able to double the lifespan of mice using certain molecules that improve the expression of the Sirtuin 1-7 genes, the genes that can actually make cells more youthful These molecules include NAD+, Resveratrol, Metformin, time-restricted feeding, and Rapamycin. Dr. Sinclair mentions several of these studies in his New York Times bestselling book, Lifespan. We collaborate with functional medicine specialist Eduardo Maristany MD who is a leader in applying the work of Drs. Sinclair and Horvath, as well as that of other prominent physicians in the anti-aging space, with whom he collaborates. Dr. Maristany consults individually with each patient to provide a customized optimal anti-aging regimen that also includes advanced genetic testing. This regimen amplifies the efficacy of the stem cell infusion.

Summary:

We believe that our combination of the highest quality mesenchymal stem cell injection in partnership with state-of-the-art medical anti-aging treatment provides an optimal and unparalleled anti-aging treatment regimen. This program is only available at the Prodromos Stem Cell Institute.
