Regenerative medicine clinic on Roatan, Honduras, with a second site in the Bahamas, offering stem cell, exosome, platelet and experimental gene therapies.
GARM, which stands for Global Alliance of Regenerative Medicine, is a private clinic based at Parrot Tree Resort on the island of Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras, with further locations at the Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort and on Paradise Island, Nassau, in the Bahamas. It was founded by Dr Glenn C Terry, an orthopaedic surgeon certified by a United States specialty board, and its stated focus is on musculoskeletal and spinal problems alongside treatments aimed at ageing.
The treatments offered cover several categories. Cell treatments include the patient's own cells, donor cells, laboratory-expanded cells and a type called MUSE cells. The clinic also offers exosomes, which are small particles released by cells, and platelet-rich plasma made from the patient's blood. Beyond cells it lists intravenous drip therapies, metabolic treatments and plasmapheresis, a procedure that filters the blood plasma. Several further services, including treatments for thinking and memory, aesthetic treatments and chronic disease programmes, are listed as not yet available.
A distinctive part of GARM's offering is gene therapy. It lists a follistatin plasmid gene therapy as available and a VEGF plasmid gene therapy as coming soon. These are experimental treatments. The clinic also runs clinical trials on behalf of regenerative medicine companies, acting as what is known as a contract research organisation, so some of what happens on site is research rather than established care. The site describes a door-to-door concierge service for arriving patients but does not publish prices or state which languages are spoken.
The clinic lists a wide range of uses, from joint pain to genetic and autoimmune disease and general ageing. Several are experimental. Ask specifically what evidence exists for your own condition and whether you would be treated as a patient or as a trial participant.
The main clinic is at Parrot Tree Resort, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras, with additional sites listed at the Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort and Spa on Roatan, on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas, and at the Kao Kamasa Spa at Hurricane Hole Superyacht Marina, Paradise Island. The clinic offers a door-to-door concierge service for travelling patients. It refers to more than a decade of treating patients but gives no founding year, and does not state which languages its staff speak.
No prices are published. The website invites visitors to book a consultation but does not state the cost of a consultation or of any treatment.
