Dr. Niehans stated the ultimate aim of cell therapy in this way: "What I am
striving after is not only to give more years to life but especially to give more life
to years." Niehan's aim was to "make all the organs struck by old age capable
once more of functioning properly and, at the same time, bring fresh strength to
the whole body by revitalization of the sex glands."
The problem that cell therapy is designed to solve include the following:
general loss of vitality,
physical and mental exhaustion,
convalescence after illness,
premature aging,
signs of deterioration of the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, and digestive
organs,
lack of drive and declining mental efficiency,
weakness of the immune system,
arthritis and other degenerative diseases of the connective tissue,
underfunction of the endocrine glands,
disturbances of menopause,
Parkinsonism,
chronic pain, migraine, headaches, neuralgia, back pain, sciatica,
atherosclerosis of the brain, heart, and peripheral circulation.
Cell therapy successfully revitalizes and extends youth. Cell therapists see their
patients' skin tone and complexion improve, their vitality increase, their youthful
optimism and energy return, and various other infirmities of aging much
improve.
Dr. Niehaus used cell therapy for alot more than youth extension. He used live
cell injections not only to regenerate diseased or aged organs but also to
stimulate development of underdeveloped or retarded organs. In fact, Niehans's
successful treatment of dwarfism provided him with some of his earliest
notoriety in the United States.
The basic therapeutic effect of cell therapy was described Dr. Niehans as
"organotropic cellular regeneration in the impaired organs." In other words, the
therapy stimulated the disease and aging-damaged organs to regenerate. This
restoration usually takes anywhere from three to six months after the injections.
Any immediate effect, explained Niehans, would have to be caused by
hormones, not cellular regeneration.
Doctors who use cell therapy have reported that atherosclerosis patients also
benefit. In a study performed on laboratory rats, cell therapy increased the
residual pliability of aorta tissue to the extent that when stretched, it returned to
its original shape much faster. This is a characteristic of younger tissue.
Experiments on connective tissue have shown that cell therapy can increase the
strength and pliability of this important structural element of the body. The
youthful appearance of your skin is determined in large part by the health of
your connective tissue. But that's not all. How youthfully your joints, muscles,
and blood vessels function also depends on the condition of your connective
tissue. Since the success of several cosmetic surgery operations depends upon
the strength and elasticity of the skin, a course of cell therapy before
rejuvenating surgery is a good idea for older patients whose skin has lost its
elasticity.
