What is cellular therapy?
Cellular therapy is a scientific method developed in Switzerland by Prof. Paul Niehans to regenerate human tissue and revitalize the body.
The method consists of implanting cell extracts of mammals selected for their biological value, which modulate the immune system and thus improve the function of certain specific organs and enhance the vitality of the entire organism.
History of Cell Therapy
In 1912, the price Nobel Alexis Carrel has demonstrated for the first time the revitalising effect of young cells on a culture of old and degenerated cells. Mr Carrel told : « The hope of the humanity is based on the prevention of the degenerative and mental illnesses, but not in the relief of the symptoms ».
Professor Niehans discovered the cell therapy in 1931 by chance : one of his collegues asked him help for a critic case : during an operation of the thyroid gland, the parathyroid gland was damaged, the patient was suffering from strong convulsions and his state was critical. Niehans hadn’t the time to execute the surgical implant of the whole gland. Using a trocart, Niehans prepared parathyroid cells obtained from a calf. The success of this therapy led Niehans to abandon literally the surgical transplantation of the intact glands for doing only implants through injections.
In 1937, stimulated by the great neurosurgeon and neuroendocrinolist Cushing, Niehans has implanted for the first time cerebral cells, principally of the hypothalamus and of the hypophysis. From 1948, he amplified the therapeutic system with liver, pancreas, kidneys, heart, duodenum, thymus, spleen.
In 1949, he continued with the first injections of the lyophilized (freeze, dried) cells. Pope Piuis XII was treated with these cells.
