A Guatemala City clinic that treats patients with stem cells drawn from their own peripheral blood, given intravenously or injected into a specific site.
BioHuman is a private clinic in Guatemala City, at 6a Avenida 6-63 in Zona 10, on the second level of the Edificio Sixtino I. The site is in Spanish and publishes two local telephone numbers.
According to the clinic's stem cell page, its approach is autologous throughout: it says it uses only cells taken from the patient being treated, and that these are collected from peripheral blood by an ordinary venepuncture rather than by liposuction or a bone marrow harvest. The site presents the avoidance of an invasive harvest as a deliberate feature of its method.
The site says cells are given in one of two ways — intravenously where the problem is systemic, or by injection into a particular site such as a knee joint, a wound or an area of damaged skin. It describes the procedure as an outpatient one, carried out by trained healthcare staff under the supervision of a doctor.
The conditions the page lists run to around seventeen and span several unrelated fields of medicine, including type 2 diabetes, lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, joint damage and osteoarthritis, motor neurone disease, erectile dysfunction, heart disease, kidney and liver disease, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, pulmonary fibrosis, bone marrow damage, ischaemic ulcers and ligament injury. No outcome data accompanies the list, and no individual clinician is named on the page read. Prices are not published.
