In terms of health, doctors who are experts in biohacking agree that prevention is still the best ally and even when the disease has already manifested itself, there is a way to stop its development or damage.
Today, science has advanced to the point where it is now possible to know which diseases can develop based on our genome. “Knowing our genome is vital to create strategies to prevent these diseases from developing and to be able to maintain health and quality of life, regardless of our age,” says Dr. María del Mar Guerra, also executive director of MEDAE.
In the case of people who are now 60 years old or older, specialists agree, it is most likely that they have already developed some diseases, as indicated by statistics. Fortunately, they indicate, there is a tool to slow down the deterioration and help prevent the disease from progressing: cell therapy (NEOCELL).

Helping older adults recover their health and quality of life
Born from regenerative medicine, NEOCELL carries mesenchymal cells into the bloodstream, which distributes them throughout the body to perform three vital functions:
1. Prevention: When stem cells come into contact with tissues and organs, they remind them how to function properly.
2. Regeneration: Stem cells also repair damaged organ tissue, whether due to wear, disease or inheritance, and remind organs to continue producing more cells.
3. Stopping: By repairing organs and tissues, as well as reminding them how they should function, the development of diseases, as well as their ravages, is consequently stopped.
Extra benefits of stem cells
Experts say stem cells also offer other benefits:
1. Aesthetic: Improves the quality of hair and skin, because let’s not forget that the skin is an organ.
2. Promotes a better mood and protects against cognitive decline: When they reach the brain through the bloodstream, stem cells remind neurons how to function and balance the secretion of neurotransmitters, including those linked to well-being and memory, such as dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine.
3. Strengthens the immune system: In the blood, stem cells regenerate the production of white blood cells or leukocytes, responsible for acquired immunity.
This therapy is often an excellent adjuvant in the treatment of chronic-degenerative diseases linked to age such as diabetes, hypertension, Alzheimer’s, etc., and can accompany treatment of diseases such as cancer.
“Today, all Mexican adults have the opportunity to begin taking care of themselves in order to maintain their health, regardless of how many years they live, and for those who are already older, there is a gift, born from regenerative medicine, that will help them improve their quality of life,” he concludes.
