At Stem Cell Institute in Panama, we like to let our patients tell their real stories. Their cases range from neuroimmune conditions to sports injuries, demonstrating how mesenchymal stem cells, like our Golden Cells™, may support the body’s natural healing, modulate immune responses, and reduce inflammation. Derived from donor tissue, our unique cells are the next step in regenerative medicine.
Transparency builds trust, which is why these patient experiences reflect the potential of stem cell therapy under rigorous quality protocols. Individual results can vary, but hearing real-life testimonies about their personal journeys offers hope in a way few other methods can. At the heart of these stories are our proprietary Golden Cells™—umbilical cord-derived MSCs selected for quality and clinical potential.
What are Golden Cells™?
Golden Cells™ are proprietary to Stem Cell Institute, specially selected hUC-MSCs (human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells). Our clinic is a leader in regenerative medicine that has delivered over 80,000 procedures to patients globally. We identified these unique cells for their exceptional potential to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
Autism: Gaining Communication and Connection
For many families, the emotional and behavioral challenges of autism are overwhelming. Genna M. knows the power of stem cells first-hand. She brought her daughter, Lila, to the Stem Cell Institute in Panama due to her behavioral and social engagement issues stemming from autism.
Genna is happy to say that she has seen major improvements for Lila since stem cell treatment, but things weren’t always so easy. Despite early interventions, Lila still experienced significant tantrums, fairly non-verbal and difficulty in social engagement issues. Her family felt overwhelmed from the age of two onward, but seeking stem cell treatment for autism was a “leap of faith” that has brought significant gains for Lila.
After our first treatment, we noticed significant gains. We were actually blown away. Within two to six weeks, around the three-week mark, she started having a burst of verbal expression—words we had never heard her say before. She also would feel like there was a connection, there was this clarity, and she was able to be present.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Supporting the Immune System and Function
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease impacting the nervous system. Symptoms often include difficulties with:
- Walking/mobility
- Balance
- Energy
- Speech
Stem cell therapy for MS using Golden Cells™ may help by modulating the hyperactive immune system and reducing inflammation.
Adam Dash can speak to the power of stem cells firsthand. He suffered from mobility issues due to MS, which prevented him from enjoying the active lifestyle that he loves. This included “textbook symptoms” like developing a chronic limp and fatigue.
“I was looking for my symptoms to be reversed and have normalcy again in my physical being,” explains Adam. “I could not even walk to my mailbox, and saying that it was upsetting is an understatement.” This led him to do his own personal research and eventually learn about stem cell therapy for MS at the Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama.
Adam began noticing small improvements in his condition a couple of nights after his first treatment. This gave him hope that “there was light at the end of the tunnel.” Since then, he’s made great strides in gaining a normal routine and hopes to eventually take up recreational sports again.
One of my doctors used to say, ‘What we’re trying to do is put the odds in your favor.’ There’s no guarantees of anything, here or in life in general. However, I think if you want to try to put the odds in your favor to get improvement for your autoimmune condition, I think this is the best chance you have.
Autoimmune Conditions: Balancing the Immune Response
Stephanie was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 1992 and later Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or Hashimoto’s for short. It’s an autoimmune disorder characterized by a hyperactive immune system attacking the body.
This often results in symptoms such as:
- Lethargy
- Muscle pain
- Severe brain fog
Due to her condition, Stephanie found herself struggling to do normal, daily tasks and experienced persistent pain in her neck. She came to us for stem cell therapy for autoimmune diseases after reading about Dr. Riordan’s history of research and dedication to finding better ways to help people heal.
I think it’s important to share my testimony because there are people out there who don’t understand what stem cells do. They don’t understand how it can help someone, so that’s why I believe so strongly in this and would like to let other people know that it’s an extremely good option for them.
Heart Health: Encouraging Repair and Regeneration
Acclaimed guitarist Sonny Mayo is mainly known for his work with major rock and metal bands. However, his biggest achievement may be surviving two heart attacks due to genetic coronary artery disease despite living a healthy lifestyle. After exhausting traditional treatments, Mayo heard about stem cell therapy and decided to seek care at the Stem Cell Institute in Panama.
Through intramuscular and IV stem cell treatments for heart health, Mayo experienced remarkable improvements not just in his heart health but overall well-being, including reduced inflammation and better joint health within a month. Deeply grateful, Sonny has become an advocate for stem cell therapy along with his other charity, Rock to Recovery.
Sports Injuries: Getting Back in the Game
George Kittle is a professional football player who turned to stem cell therapy for sports injuries here at Stem Cell Institute Panama. He was struggling to manage recurring sports injuries without relying on surgery or prolonged rest.
Describing his sports-related health issues, Kittle said:
I play football. It’s a very physical game, and it takes a toll on your body. One of the worst things I dealt with was double Achilles tendinosis in both my Achilles tendons. The sheath wasn’t moving very well, and everything was rubbing, causing friction. It’s not a very fun thing to deal with when you’re dealing with your Achilles tendon and you’re playing a [professional] sport.
Since starting stem cell therapy, Kittle has experienced significant health improvements, especially with his Achilles tendinosis. This has enabled him to stay on the field all season and avoid downtime.
He attributes better energy, sleep, and mental health to this innovative, minimally invasive approach, underscoring stem cell therapy’s value for rapid recovery and sustained athletic performance.
Wellness & Longevity: Supporting Overall Health
Dr. Woody F. is a physician from Alabama who first learned about stem cell therapy more than ten years ago at a medical conference. Inspired by its potential, he has since visited the Stem Cell Institute five times, but not for illness. Instead, Woody returns to our clinic to support his ongoing health and vitality.
“I’m a big believer in regenerative medicine,” Woody explains. “I think regenerative medicine is the future of medicine, and the future is now.” Despite being healthy through nutrition and exercise, he was personally attracted to the health and wellness benefits of stem cell therapy.
At 75, he credits stem cell therapy with helping him remain mentally clear, easing post-exercise soreness, and maintaining an active lifestyle. Both he and his wife feel welcomed by the care team, and he confidently recommends the Institute to patients and friends who want to explore the benefits of regenerative therapy.
