Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease caused by a misfiring immune system (autoimmunity) attacking the body’s own healthy tissues in the joints, causing inflammation, pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in the joints.

It is a chronic disease that leads to long-term joint damage, loss of function and disability. People with this disease have antibodies in their blood which target their own body tissues, resulting in inflammation.

In some people the disease is continuously active and gets worse over time. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple organs in the body can be affected. Early diagnosis and prompt subsequent treatment of symptoms may avoid joint destruction, organ damage and disability.

Rheumatoid Arthritis usually affects joints on both sides of the body equally. Wrists, fingers, knees, feet, and ankles are the most commonly affected. Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis include:

• Joints pain and swelling
• Stiffness in the joints in the morning and after sitting uninterruptedly
• Over time, joints may lose their range of motion and may become deformed.
• Chest pain when taking a breath (pleurisy)
• Dry eyes and mouth (Sjogren syndrome)
• Eye burning, itching, and discharge
• Numbness, tingling, or burning in the hands and feet
• Sleep difficulties
• Fatigue

Until the most recent decades, Rheumatoid Arthritis can only be treated by taking two classes of medications: the first comprises fast-acting drugs such as cortisone and aspirin; and the second line of drugs comprises slow-acting drugs, also called Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs). These include Trexall, Rheumatrex and Otrexup belonging to the methotrexate class of medication, and Plaquenil, a hydroxychloroquine class of drug that helps with preventing bone density and encourages disease remission. Along with these medications, traditional treatment also include joint strengthening exercises, rest, education on safeguarding the joints, etc.

Nowadays, aside from traditional medication treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis, advanced research and treatment such as Stem Cell Therapy Plus is giving new hope to Rheumatoid Arthritis patients. Anecdotal evidence shows that the usage of Stem Cell Therapy Plus cause better and faster healing of damaged tissues and can regulate the immune system to stop any pathological responses while combating the effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Stem cells are those cells that can easily become the cells of different organs where their need arises. This means that stem cells can evolve into cells of the brain, heart, muscle, organ, tissue or cartilage and so to treat many complex diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Diabetes, etc. Stem cell therapy is at the heart of a new field of science and medicine called regenerative medicine.

Since stem cells have the unique ability to renew themselves and give birth to generations of cells with different degrees of differentiation, the use of this therapy becomes extremely encouraging and promising for those who suffer with debilitating diseases. They also replace damaged cells in different body parts without any risk of being rejected and without causing any side effects.

Anecdotal evidence shows Stem Cell Therapy Plus can cause better and faster healing of damaged tissues and can regulate the immune system to stop any pathological responses while combating the effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Besides, mesenchymal stem cells introduced by Stem Cell Therapy Plus manufacture anti-inflammatory agents to reduce inflammation of damaged cells and tissues while not suppressing the patient’s immune system. They also generate T regulatory cells, immunity cells that protect the body from immunological self-attack.

Unlike traditional Stem Cell Therapy which can only be applied via injection in the selective hospitals/ clinics, Stem Cell Therapy Plus delivers stem cells through high-tech bio-active softgel capsules which can be shipped in secure packages and delivered right to your home. The lyophilized (freeze-dried) method employed in softgel capsules produces stem cells which remain biologically active (a proven technique for gently conserving biological substances) without damaging the effectiveness of the valuable, big, bio-active matter. Being enteric coated, softgel capsules by-pass the stomach and dissolve in the small intestine whereby the stem cells and other active ingredients are fully absorbed by the body. Therefore, to receive the results and benefits of Stem Cell Therapy Plus, all you need to do is to take 1 – 3 softgel capsules a day at the comfort of your own home.
