Alexis Carrel
The Nobel prize winner demonstrates the revitalising effect of young cells on cultures of aged cells.
The method
Cell therapy
A biological method developed in Switzerland, aimed at supporting and revitalizing the body, now offered under the name Revitalization cure, in compliance with the current regulatory framework.
What it consists of
A biological therapy
It is based on the supply of cellular extracts, as part of a process to revitalize the body. The preparations used today are cellular dilutions of bovine approved by Swissmedic.
For whom
An individual assessment
Each situation is examined by the doctor during an admission assessment, based on a medical questionnaire. The indication and the protocol are established on a case-by-case basis.
Safety & framework
A supervised protocol
Prior assessment, preparations approved by Swissmedic, daily medical follow-up and single-use equipment: the cure takes place within a strict medical framework.
True to its origin, compliant with today's regulations
For decades, the clinic applied the original cellular therapy of Prof. Paul Niehans: freeze-dried cells from animal origins and ultrafiltrats from sheep. More recently, following a change in the sanitary law, we adapted our treatments: they are now based on cellular dilutions of bovine approved by Swissmedic, the Swiss authority for therapeutic products.
What this means in practice
- Preparations authorized by the Swiss sanitary authority (Swissmedic)
- A guarantee of safety and compliance, in the continuity of the method
- The same spirit of revitalization, now called Revitalization cure
From Alexis Carrel to today
1931
Niehans's discovery
Faced with a critical case, Prof. Niehans performs the first cellular implantation by injection.
1937
Expansion
Stimulated by the neurosurgeon Cushing, Niehans extends the method to other tissues.
1949
Lyophilization
First injections of lyophilized cells (frozen then dried under vacuum), which would give their form to the current preparations.
Today
A supervised tradition
The clinic perpetuates the method with cellular dilutions of bovine approved by Swissmedic, in compliance with Swiss regulations.
An indication always determined by the doctor
Cell therapy has historically been considered in a context of fatigue and loss of vitality related to age. It does not constitute a promise of healing: each situation is assessed individually during an admission assessment, which determines the indication and the protocol.
Main indications
- Premature ageing
- Osteoarthritis
- Insufficiency of the endocrine glands (menopause disorders)
- Decline of the immune defences
- Circulatory disorders
- Depression and exhaustion related to stress
- Decline in memory and concentration
Eligibility is assessed individually by the doctor, based on a medical questionnaire. The cure is contraindicated in particular in cases of infectious or inflammatory diseases, allergy to animal proteins, severe liver or kidney impairment, autoimmune disease, hyperthyroidism, insulin-dependent diabetes or severe hypertension (non-exhaustive list).
