HOUSTON Diseases like arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's have no cure, but with a revolutionary procedure from Celltex patients see a dramatic difference in their livelihood.

Celltex chairman and CEO, David Eller, talked with Deborah Duncan about how the company is leading breakthroughs in regenerative medicine. Celltex has a proprietary technology that isolates, grows and cryopreserves hundreds of millions of one's own stem cells.

Stem cells are extracted from an individual's own fat. It is multiplied and cryopreserved for future therapy, only for the patient. The cells are stored in a U.S.-based, FDA registered lab until treatment. Celltex works with established, certified hospitals in Mexico, until stem cell therapy is legalized in the United States. Treatments are administered by licensed physicians. These stem cells can relieve a variety of chronic conditions and improve quality of life for these patients.

Debbie Bertrand was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2001. The MS made it difficult for her to walk and use her hands. She had numbness in her feet, loss of balance, drop foot and had to use a wheelchair in public.

Bertrand learned about Celltex and banked her stem cells in 2011. She's had several rounds of treatment, and after each treatment, she's seen great improvement.

Bertrand had no side effects from the stem cell therapy. She has reduced the number of MS medications she takes from five to two. She no longer has to use a wheelchair and uses a walker to walk. She has improved so much, she is able to walk 6,000 to 8,000 steps each day. Bertrand has a more normal gait, has better circulation in her hands and feet, and has increased energy, strength and alertness.
