Aly El-Aawar—diagnosed with kidney disease, now freed by Dr. Bars
How are you doing now compared to how you were feeling before receiving treatment with us?
My Autoimmune kidney disease – igA nephropathy, has been improving in the short time since receiving stem cells and other treatments with Dr. Bars. I have been feeling more energetic, my kidney function has been slowly increasing, and protein leakage in my urine has been decreasing. Overall, I cannot express enough how amazing the experience was at the clinic!
What treatments or methods did you try before coming to Dr. Bars?
I have seen different specialists for my condition in Canada, the US and the UK. I have tried the recommended drugs for my condition with no success, from prednisone to immunosuppressants and blood pressure medications.
Why did you end up coming to Dr. Bars?
I decided to receive treatment from Dr. Bars because I had no success with previous medications and specialists in treating my condition. Dr. Bars was very approachable and knowledgeable and gave me hope.
What impressed you about how our doctors helped you (the consultation, the lab work interpretation, the treatments, etc.)?
The thing that impressed me most was how approachable and caring they were and how much time they spent with each patient compared to other doctors. I cannot express how grateful I am for this. They were also very knowledgeable, tailored the treatment to my case, and made changes as needed throughout the process with constant check-ins.
If you could go back in time to do it all over again, is there something you would do differently?
I would have loved to meet Dr. Bars and everyone at the clinic sooner and receive treatment here. It would have avoided many side effects of medication and discouragement throughout my struggle.
Can stem cells be used to treat Kidney Disease?
Stem cell therapy holds significant promise in addressing autoimmune kidney disease by leveraging the remarkable regenerative capabilities of stem cells. In autoimmune conditions affecting the kidneys, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. Here’s how stem cell therapy can play a transformative role:
Immune Modulation: Stem cells possess immunomodulatory properties, meaning they can help regulate and modulate the immune response. In autoimmune kidney diseases, this capability is crucial as it aids in suppressing the overactive immune response, thereby mitigating inflammation and preventing further damage to the kidneys.
Tissue Repair and Regeneration: Stem cells have the unique ability to differentiate into various cell types, including those found in kidney tissues. By introducing stem cells into the affected area, the therapy aims to promote the regeneration of damaged kidney cells, fostering tissue repair and improving overall organ function.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases. Stem cells release anti-inflammatory molecules that help reduce inflammation in the kidneys. This anti-inflammatory effect can alleviate symptoms, slow disease progression, and enhance the overall well-being of the patient.
Stimulation of Endogenous Repair Mechanisms: Stem cell therapy not only introduces exogenous stem cells but also stimulates the patient’s own stem cells to participate in the repair process. This comprehensive approach enhances the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Improved Blood Flow: Stem cells contribute to angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels. In the context of kidney diseases, this can enhance blood flow to the affected areas, promoting better oxygenation and nutrient supply, which are vital for the healing process.
Request an in-person or virtual consultation with a medical specialist at Alternative Medicine By Bars to review medical history, lab results, MRIs, and determine eligibility for stem cell therapy for kidney disease.
