Three burning questions
for The Zen Institute's
Dr. Mary Jane Torres
By CAITY ROXAS
Q & A
“What is stem cell
therapy”
Stem cells are one of the
human body’s master cells, with
the ability to grow into any one of
the body’s more than 200 cell
types. Stem cells contribute to
the body’s ability to renew and
repair its tissues. Unlike mature
cells, which are permanently
committed to their fate, stem cells
can both renew themselves as
well as create new cells of whatever
tissue they belong to.
Stem cell therapy helps
promote the reparative response
of diseased, dysfunctional or
injured tissue using stem cells or
their derivatives.
Combining science and
technology, The Zen Institute
redefines stem cell therapy, to
make it work safely and
effectively to every patient.
“How does stem cell
therapy work”
The therapy makes use of soft,
natural tissue filler in many different
procedures, including breast,
buttocks, and lips augmentation
and many others. This has many
benefits: increasing cell lifespan,
hormone production, energy,
stamina and libido; improving
immune system, function of organs,
metabolism, muscle and joint function
and skin, hair and nails texture.
“How beneficial is stem
cell therapy"
The stem cell therapy puts into
use the cells of the patient’s own
body and hence the risk of rejection
can be reduced because the cells
belong to the same human body. It
can treat a number of conditions like
Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord
injuries, Alzheimer’s disease,
schizophrenia, cancer, diabetes and
many others.
