Stem Cell Tourism: Affordable Regenerative Care

By Dr. Benjamin Busch, DO

What is stem cell tourism? As healthcare costs continue to climb worldwide, many patients are turning to medical tourism for innovative therapies like stem cell therapy and exosome therapy. These are highly sought after as potential remedies for chronic pain, injuries, degenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative illness , and other ailments. Yet, for many, finding safe, effective, and affordable stem cell therapy remains a challenge—until now.

ViveWell Health is excited to be at the forefront of this shift. Because of our secure partnerships with premier U.S. umbilical cord stem cell processing labs, we’re able to offer patients access to large doses of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC’s), hematopoietic stem cells (HSC’s) and exosomes at prices that are more affordable than international options. For patients exploring stem cell or exosome tourism, this is a unique opportunity to receive high-quality care within the United States.

Expanded Access: Partnering with Top U.S. Research Facilities

By partnering with leading U.S. medical research labs specializing in umbilical HSC and MSC stem cell processing, ViveWell Health brings access to much larger doses of HSC’s and MSCs at significantly reduced prices. We maintain unmatched quality and safety right here in the U.S. (Yamada, Behfar, & Terzic, 2021), while eliminating many of the concerns typically associated with medical tourism abroad, such as varying regulations and standards (Al-Shammary & Hassan, 2023).

Our relationship with a FDA-approved HSC processing facility further ensures safety and efficacy, setting us apart in the field of affordable exosomes and stem cell therapy (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2022).

Affordable Exosome and Stem Cell Therapy: Now Within Reach

We offer 40 million MSC’s for just $5,000—a dramatic reduction from our previous rates of $4,000 for 5 million MSCs and $5,500 for 10 million MSCs.

We offer 30 million HSC’s for just $5,000— a previously unavailable therapy for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

This shift makes affordable stem cell therapy accessible to more patients than ever before, bringing down the costs without sacrificing quality or safety (Brown et al., 2021).

Exosomes vs Stem Cells: A Synergistic Approach to Regenerative Health

For patients considering which option to pursue, it’s important to understand the difference between exosomes and stem cells. HSC’s, or hematopoietic stem cells, can decrease inflammation and rejuvenate autoimmune conditions. MSCs, or mesenchymal stem cells, help regenerate and repair tissues, acting as the foundation for healing. Exosomes, in turn, are powerful signalers that direct this healing, ensuring the healing message reaches the damaged areas more effectively (Phinney & Pittenger, 2017). Together, they form a potent combination in regenerative medicine, offering a customizable approach to meet specific patient needs.
