  • Autoimmune diseases occur when some of our antibodies attack, for some reason, more or

  • less known, our bodies. In other words, instead of attacking the microbes, viruses and other

  • foreign particles in the body, these confused antibodies attack their own cells in organs,

  • skin, nerve cells etc. Although there is little known about the causes of these diseases,

  • it seems that an unhealthy diet, stress and free radicals are the main guilty factors.

  • Depending on the type of antibodies that get damaged, the immune system of a patient with

  • an autoimmune disease attacks a particular organ, tissue and specific cells.

  • Treating Autoimmune Diseases Nowadays, autoimmune diseases are treated

  • with immune suppressive agents like methothrexate, steroids, gold, infliximab (more recently),

  • or cyclosporine. These approaches bring temporary improvement, but they have several disadvantages

  • such as possible long-term adverse effects as well as the need for a life-long treatment.

  • However, currently, advances in medical research and new treatments are able to give hope to

  • those suffering by autoimmune diseases. Benefits of Stem Cell Therapies for Autoimmune

  • Diseases Stem cell therapy is a new treatment protocol

  • investigated in hundreds of specialized clinics and research centres worldwide.

  • Stem cells have the capability to transform and replace cells that have been destroyed

  • or damaged. Stem cells have the capability to repair the

  • patient's immune system.
