How Can Stem Cell Therapy
Treat Autism?
Stem Cell Treatment for Autism
New research suggests that stem cell treatment has the potential to help those with autism achieve improved cognitive ability and behavior. Including more focus and attention.
Promising Results: New research suggests potential for improved cognitive ability and behavior. More focus and attention.
As the parent of a child with autism spectrum disorder, you know each day means facing unexpected challenges and that no days are alike. Some days may lift your spirit as you see improvements in communicating and behavior. Other days, however, may be filled with seemingly random tantrums and poor social interaction that make it feel like little future progress is possible.
Yes, it’s frustrating. But advanced stem cell therapy with Signature Cells offers new hope to families impacted by autism.
Conditions We Treat:
-
Ease inflammation throughout the body that aggravates symptoms of autism.
-
Promote healing of nervous system tissue that can improve behavior and enhance attention and focus even months after treatment.
-
Improve memory and learning to help emotional and mental development—at any age.
Advanced Treatment Options are Available
Few treatment options for autism have been available until now. But recent research shows that stem cell therapy—a non-invasive procedure—takes advantage of the body’s natural repair processes to help reduce symptoms and promote healing at the cellular level to help autistic children look forward to a brighter future.
Improvements in Children Reported from Ongoing Research:
-
More expressive language, using complete sentences and phrases in the right context
-
A clearer understanding of how things work, that food needs to be cooked, smartphones need to be charged, etc.
-
More receptive communication, such as acknowledging appreciation
-
More interest in playing with siblings and others
-
Better success in school and higher grades
