Autologous stem cell transplantation available through Adistem procedures provides an infusion of several million new stem cells capable of differentiating into any one of the 200 different cells that make up the human body. These cells can be mobilized to regenerate, repair and/or replace damaged or destroyed cells or tissues. Adistem has developed an autologous procedure in which the patients' own stem cells are "reactivated" by a colostrum-derived protein growth factor and returned to their body.

AdiStem's system has been designed to automate the proprietary process and methods for extracting and purifying a high yield of stem cells.

Dormant stem cells are harvested from 100cc of a patient's fat and peripheral blood through liposuction. The harvested dormant stem cells are incubated in stimulating growth factors, isolated and infused back into the patient intravenously. The whole procedure takes up to 4 hours in the operating room of the hospital under local anesthesia. It takes about an hour to harvest, 3 hours to incubate and stimulate the stem cells and infuse them back to the patient.

No foreign substance whatsoever is introduced to the body and so medical risk is very low indeed.
