In cases of Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's or other neurodegenerative disease, adult stem cells can slow the degenerative progression of your symptoms while restoring blood flow to the brain and repairing or replacing damaged tissue.

This enables the doctors to target your stem cells inside the brain to re-establish blood flow and repair damaged nerve cells (neurons).

Doctors at Okyanos utilize a specifically developed Okyanos protocol for opening up the blood brain barrier to help deliver stem cells directly to the brain; a technique that has been proven effective in independent studies This enables doctors to target your stem cells inside the brain to re-establish blood flow and repair damaged nerve cells (neurons) as well as target the restoration of myelin, halting the future progression of symptoms.

For example, during a stroke, brain cells are irreparably damaged; stem cells could kick - start the regenerative process and undergo specialization to replace the lost cells.
