Prodromos Stem Cell Institute performs world-leading stem cell treatment on the island nation of Antigua. The institute produces peer-reviewed published clinical research studies. These are four of the most promising advances. 

Anti-aging

Stem cell treatment has long been thought to have anti-aging properties. In an ongoing study, the institute performed DNA epigenetic testing on patients before and after treatment. This blood test looks at telomere length, DNA methylation, and mitotic index (an index of the proclivity to contract cancer), as well as giving a physiologic, as opposed to chronologic age. In these areas most patients have shown improvement and greater youth after treatment. This is the first evidence that stem cells have a role in increased longevity. The cells are infused IV in under an hour with no side effects or pain. No supplement or other treatment is comparable. 

Additionally, 85% of patients with fatigue or short-term memory loss reported improvement. Intravenous use of stem cells is combined with joint injections for arthritis, skin and hair treatment, and intimate treatment where that is an issue. With no pain or side effects, many patients repeat treatment yearly.  

Back and Neck Pain

Chronic back or neck pain is one of three top reasons for doctor visits. The first treatment for back and neck should always be physical therapy. There was no good solution for failed surgery until now. Cortisone shots are generally ineffective. Medications interfere with healing and only cover up the problem, leaving many side effects. Surgery is quite painful and unsalvageable when it fails. 

Dr. Podromos hypothesized that stem cells, with their natural healing and anti-inflammatory properties, would provide substantial relief for chronic back and neck pain and has now treated roughly 60 patients in Antigua. Treatment consisted of completely safe facet and translaminar epidural injection with no serious adverse events, very little discomfort, and recovery usually only in one week. Most patients had substantial improvement at a rate similar to surgery but without pain and complications. Those who responded to stem cell treatment had continued improvement more than a year later. 

Stem cell treatment is the treatment of choice for patients with back or neck pain who do not respond to physical therapy. We believe every patient considering surgery should try stem cell treatment first.

Autism 

We treated a number of patients with autism with simple intravenous stem cell infusion with no side effects. All improved initially, and 88% showed continued benefit one year or more after treatment. Significant evidence of improved brain function was found after performing electroencephalograms.

Autoimmune Disease

We have had good success with rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and other autoimmune disorders. Five hours after treatment, the red, cold hands (for consecutive 18 days) of a patient with Raynaud’s syndrome, were normal. 

Hair Restoration

Stem cell injection is consistently effective in thickening hair. 

Sports Medicine

NFL pro bowl player Ryan Jensen was restored to play in an unprecedented 5.5 months after tearing three knee ligaments without surgery. Additionally, international ski champion AJ Ginnis recorded his best-ever time after stem cell treatment. 

Named in Tony Robbins Book

Tony Robbins, bestselling author describes Dr. Prodromos in Life Force. “Dr. Chadwick C, Prodromos MD is a Princeton-educated, Johns Hopkins and Harvard trained Orthopedic surgeon internationally renowned for pioneering work on ACL reconstruction and editor of the textbook on the subject for Orthopedic surgeons. His passion for preserving rather than replacing joints has led him to becoming a world leader in the use of stem cells to avoid joint replacement for osteoarthritis. Due to FDA limitations in the U.S., he opened a center in Antigua, because the prime minister, Gaston Browne, declared his goal to make the destination the stem cell capital of the world. In this environment, he's able to use cultured cells and can avoid joint replacement in most severely arthritic patients, while also never using destructive cortisone and stopping all pain-killing and anti-inflammatory medicines…”
