General

What do capillary perivascular cells do?2021-03-18T17:17:49+00:00

The primary function of your capillary perivascular cells is to provide reparative support of blood vessels and the tissues that contain blood vessels. They repair, regenerate and reduce inflammation of your damaged tissue when there is injury, disease or other health-related conditions. When your body’s reserve is limited, its ability to regenerate healthy cells decreases and limits your recovery. By helping your body to repair and regenerate cells and reduce inflammation, these cells increase your ability to recover from various inflammatory conditions.

What are capillary perivascular cells?2021-03-18T16:10:24+00:00

Capillary perivascular cells are a unique set of naturally occurring cells within your body. They occur in all tissues of the body anywhere there are blood vessels. They can develop into more specialized cells to repair, regenerate and reduce inflammation in case of injury, disease or other health conditions

What is the BrioMD process?2021-03-18T18:23:29+00:00

Obtaining your capillary perivascular cells is a minimally-invasive 60-minute procedure. Once the FDA registered lab processes and concentrates your cells, your physician will begin your customized therapy.

How is BrioMD different?2021-03-18T18:23:07+00:00

We are very different from our competitors in many ways. Our process yields the highest number of cells compared to any other company without using any enzymes or other additives. We also provide the safest and least painful harvesting process.

Unlike all other available treatment options, we do not alter your cells in any way and do not add any drugs, enzymes, or growth factors. Our patented process separates cells from your perivascular fraction so your healing cells can work to repair your damaged cells. This process yields a much greater number and concentration of cells to use for treatment – more than any other process or procedure available today.

Why BrioMD?2021-03-18T18:23:43+00:00

At BrioMD our mission is to provide the most advanced cellular therapy, in the safest manner with the highest cell count without using any drugs, enzymes, or growth factors to help our patients improve their quality of life.

BrioMD has assembled a group of forward-thinking and innovative scientists, clinicians, and researchers to develop the safest, most effective treatment option for cellular therapy without using any enzymes or growth factors. As leaders in perivascular cellular therapy, we set the highest standards and are dedicated to achieving maximum results for the patient. We are also committed to research and data analytics to evolve and improve our results. Our technology is the most advanced process in the world today for perivascular fraction processing and treatment. We have developed, over years of research, the preferred protocols for the administration of cell therapy for the conditions we treat.

Conditions Treated

Can patients with dormant or cured cancer still be treated?2021-03-18T15:48:44+00:00

Capillary Perivascular cell therapy is thought to be safe and does not affect dormant cancers. If someone has had cancer that was treated and responded successfully, there is no known reason to withhold cellular therapy. In these cases, contact and visit your local treatment center and they can help determine your options.

Does BrioMD treat cancer?2021-03-18T15:47:53+00:00

No, BrioMD does not treat cancer. Many people are confused by this because they have heard of cancer patients receiving cellular therapy. These patients had ablative bone marrow therapy and need cells to repopulate their blood and marrow. BrioMD does not perform cellular therapy on cells from bone marrow. We use capillary perivascular cells obtained from an area of your abdomen, low back or thigh area.

Cancer treatment is of great interest to BrioMD. We are currently working with leading physicians to develop treatment options/protocols with the goal of being able to successfully treat certain conditions of interest.

Do you treat any other conditions not listed on the website?2021-03-18T15:47:26+00:00

BrioMD is continually working on treatment options and protocols for conditions and diseases not listed on the website. For more information, please call your local treatment center to schedule an appointment to discuss your medical conditions and questions.

What types of conditions/diseases can be treated?2021-04-19T17:24:52+00:00

As leaders in the field of cellular therapy and research, our team of physicians and clinical advisors have developed and patented best practices, pathways, and guidelines for each condition we treat. We are the only treatment center in the United States to do so.
