Dr. Gonzalez has been providing and has developed different and unique methods to treat many conditions with Placenta/Stem Cell Therapy since 1991, taking care of patients from many countries like South Africa, Australia, Malasia, UK, Portugal, Romania, Canada, USA and others. His approach to medicine is to incorporate the best techniques available with the optimal results and minimal or no side effects, from the Anti-aging patient that wants to maintain their health the best possible way to the difficult and abandoned from the establishment patient that wants to regain hope and a better future.

Using Stem Cells
One of the great advantages in this clinic is that Dr. Gonzalez develops a unique methodology where each patient is treated according to the condition to be treated.  Local anesthesia is used most of the time and very tiny  and precise incisions are made in certain areas decided at the time of the consultation with Dr. Gonzalez. The powerful tissue is placed under the skin and closed with one stitch. For the next six months to a year, the tissue is  slowly integrated and reabsorbed by the body. The whole procedure takes less than 40 minutes. This is an office procedure and should not limit your daily activities.

The placenta is obtained from a healthy young mother that has to meet very particular and rigorous screening test. The method to obtain it is done using the best standards and by qualified personnel, supervised by Dr. Gonzalez. The organ donation tests and other tests are performed so sterility is guaranteed (PCA-HIV, VDRL, IGM-TORCH, HBVAg. HACV-ag).  In short, this method of Placenta therapy is effective, simple, long lasting, non-toxic and risk free.

We also use these important Alternative Medical treatments: Neural Therapy, a German therapy that uses Procaine and other local anesthetics in acupuncture points.

• Pharmaco-acupuncture, a new way of working with the acupuncture points by injecting B-complex vitamins and different kinds of herbs in the acupuncture points.
• Cell Therapy, a Swiss therapy uses cells, to deal with degenerative conditions.  This is a great alternative to work on specific areas in the body like arthritis in the knees or back, trigger points in fibromialgia, rheumatica, etc.  It is made with thousands of Human cells with a proprietary solution. A mixture of this is injected into very specific areas, under the skin, around the affected area, after the acupuncture session. In time,  it regenerates the area with a remarkable difference in stopping the pain and degeneration process.

Placenta / Stem Cell Therapy (PST) has an Impact in Three Major Biological Systems:

IMMUNE SYSTEM: (IMMUNOMODULATING THERAPY)

The scientific community is focusing much attention on this complex system because so many illnesses result from aberrations in this area. These are the auto-immune diseases (Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, Multiple sclerosis etc.) Many conditions like tuberculosis (TB), shingles or chronic infections start when the Immune system is down due to many medical conditions like stress, steroid therapy, cancer therapy or AIDS.

PST provides all the substances listed before, without the toxicity due to their perfect balance  in an organ (placenta) that is not designed or manipulated  by humans. These substances, along with the increase in "Natural Killer" (NK) cells  which are  responsible to attack   cancerous or  infected cells while they are  circulating in our body - reset the Immune system the way it was when we were younger.

If this system is in top condition, the degenerative illnesses are delayed or stopped, the auto-immune conditions are helped and chronic infections are better controlled. The fact that the immune system is "awake" is the reason this therapy is now considered  a preventative measure against cancer. It is also commonly known as a Cancer Vaccine. The patient that already has some form or level of cancer   can include this biological therapy as part of his repertory of treatments, parallel to the conventional protocol for cancer.

HORMONAL SYSTEM:

Studies done in men and women have shown that after the placenta is implanted, the hormonal profile is reset to the way it was years before.
In men, there is a noticeable improvement of the initial rates of male hormones and a new glandular balance that gives more energy and increases the libido. Recent discoveries about Prostate enlargement involve an alteration in sexual hormones as the main reason the prostate grows out of control. This explains why the PST can help this condition tremendously.

In women, the treatment appears to be an interesting alternative to Estrogen Replacement Therapy, given that there is a conversion of minor androgens to estrogen, and an increased secretion of progesterone without the possible side effects.
The fact that the placenta has so many Growth factors, explains why the patients referred all the signs of anti-aging effect described as  results of HGH replacement therapy, Increased resistance to common illnesses, higher energy levels, better memory, increase of muscle mass and diminished visceral fat, preserved or improved bone density, lowered blood pressure, increased exercise performance, etc.

CIRCULATION SYSTEM:

The most  important nutrients that the body needs to be alive and healthy are, Oxygen and Glucose which are delivered by millions of blood vessels all over the body. With aging the circulation becomes less efficient, and if you add other factors like smoking, being sedentary, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other lipids, the result is that very important organs like the brain, heart, skin and ultimately the whole body suffers the effects of that inefficiency: poor memory, drier and paler skin, no energy and basically all the signs of aging appear. One of the first signals of improvement with this therapy is that the skin color becomes pinker and warmer after just two or three days of the implants, and the skin texture is better in just 3 to 4 weeks. That effect could be explained because of the Vascular Growth Factors that the placenta has along with the millions of Stem Cells.

PROTOCOL FOR IMC  STEM CELL THERAPY:

This method is the result of many years of experience. It has been very effective in making a powerful impact on the conditions we work on at Integra Medical Center. The steps of the protocol are as follows:

• Initial Medical Consultation and Evaluation by Dr Gonzalez
• Electro Interstitial Scan (when applicable)
• Implants Procedure
• Injections Procedure
• Low Level Laser Procedure
• Final Evaluation.

The initial consultation is the time when Dr. Gonzalez dedicates time to reviewing the clinical data and evaluating the patient in such a way to determine the plan for the best location of the implants. Also, it is the time when any patient's questions are clarified and most importantly, the patient's expectations are discussed. All possible outcomes of the treatment are explained.

The patient is then sent for the Electro Interstitial Scan evaluation as a point of reference and to see how the body is functioning bio-electrically. After this evaluation, the patient goes to a procedure room where they are prepared for the most important part of the therapy: stem cell implantation.  Under local anesthetic, several (between 4 to 6) mini-surgical incisions are performed where the implants are then placed.

The body's response to the IMC stem cell therapy and the healing power comes from:

• The tissue full of Stem Cells, (ten times more stem cells than  the ones contained in umbilical cord blood) is absorbed by the blood and lymphatic capillary systems and migrates locally and systemically to the main organs (brain, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, etc.) where the stem cells regenerate and revitalize  the basic functions of these organs.

• Growth Factors like
  • HGH (anti-aging effect)
    
  • Endothelial Growth Factor (Circulation)
    
  • Neuron Growth Factor (Brain and Neuron)
    
  • Hepatocyte Growth Factor (Liver function).

• Immune- modulating proteins like TNF, ILs are slowly absorbed and biologically integrated to the body systems, promoting internal anti-inflammation, regeneration, revitalization, anti-tumor and antiviral activity. 

Depending of the case, but most of the time after the implantation procedure is finished, several injections of a cell preparation are made. The liquid cell preparation is designed to access specific areas with the mentioned biological power.

Low Level Laser therapy is then applied to activate the stem cells, promote healing and tissue repair of the implanted and injected areas.  

A final evaluation of the patient is made, where we make sure the patient is ready to go back  to the place where they are staying overnight.

The patients usually go home on the day following the implantation procedure, with some discomfort but with lots of hope for a better  and healthier future.

Using Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the "surgical" part of The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and involves the insertion of very fine needles in very specific points of our body in order to promote natural healing and balance our complex bioelectrical system.

The science of TCM is the study of the human pathology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. TCM made great progress in the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. to 220 A.C.) after that it had ups and downs until Peoples Republic of China was founded and an integration of both medicines (western and eastern) began.

Principles:

• The essential energy is called Qi
• Everything in the universe exists with two main forces called Yin and Yang
• The five elements theory (wood, fire, earth, metal and water)
• Everything in our system is inter-connected
• There is a unity of man and nature (diet, exercise, work, stress etc.).

Diseases are believed to be caused by Pathogenic factors:

• Six excesses.- Climate factors (wind, cold, heat, damp, dryness and fire).
• Pestilence.- Bacteria & viruses.
• Internal injuries by the Seven Emotions.
• Improper diet.
• Fatigue or lack of exercise.
• External injuries

When there is a conflict between the pathogenic factor and the anti-pathogenic factor (immune system) then disease appears.

In Chinese Medicine, disease is dealt with:

• Herbs.
• Acupuncture.
• Moxibustion.
• Massage / suction cups.
• Pharmaco-acupuncture.

The body is believed to have multiple channels where the Qi and the anti-pathological energy flows. Any obstruction of this flow, any accumulation of pathological energy will cause disease. An insertion of a particular needle in specific points in our body, either gets rid of this negative energy or makes it flow again.
