A stem cell therapy provider in Escazu, Costa Rica, working with Cellebration Life Sciences and treating autoimmune, orthopaedic and neurological conditions.
Cellebration Wellness is a stem cell therapy provider based in Escazu, on the western edge of San Jose in Costa Rica. According to its website it works in partnership with Cellebration Life Sciences and offers both treatment and stem cell banking. It markets chiefly to patients travelling from the United States, and lists a United States telephone number alongside its Costa Rican one.
The conditions the site names are wide-ranging: autoimmune disease including Crohn's disease, psoriasis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis; orthopaedic injury and chronic pain; type 1 and type 2 diabetes; neurological conditions; spinal cord injury; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cirrhosis of the liver; hair loss; and what it describes as anti-ageing and rejuvenation. The breadth of that list is worth noting: no independent evidence is offered for most of these uses, and the directory neither endorses nor verifies them.
The site names Dr Anand Srivastava, PhD as head of its science team and describes him as considered by many to be the father of stem cell research, trained at the University of California San Diego and the University of California Irvine, with past associations to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and the Salk Institute. That description is the site's own and the directory has not verified it; readers should treat such a title as marketing language rather than a recognised position. Dr Nan Trasa is listed as chairman and chief science officer.
The site refers to a science team of twelve but does not name them, and it does not name any treating physician who would actually see a patient in Costa Rica. It does not state which tissue its cells come from on the pages read, does not name any accreditation, does not give a founding year and does not publish prices. A reader should ask the clinic directly who would perform the treatment, where the cells come from and what it costs.
The site names the following conditions. The list is unusually broad, no supporting evidence is given for most of these uses, and the directory does not endorse any of them.
The site describes its business as advanced stem cell therapy together with stem cell banking, but does not set out on the pages read how the cells are prepared or given.
Both people named hold science rather than treating roles; the site does not name the clinician who would carry out treatment.
According to the site the clinic is at Suite 401, Building 202, Avenida Escazu, in Escazu, San Jose, Costa Rica. It gives a Costa Rican telephone number and a United States number and fax, which fits its focus on visiting patients. The pages read do not describe the premises, any laboratory of its own, or any accreditation.
The site gives no prices and says nothing about the cost of treatment.
