Stem Cell Therapy for Joint Pain with Larry Townes
Larry Townes discovered knee and joint pain relief at Stem Cell Institute in Panama. Stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis alleviated his discomfort within a month, prompting him to seek regularly recurring treatment.
Stem cell therapy offers hope for osteoarthritis sufferers by potentially repairing damaged tissues and modulating the immune system, facilitating pain relief and enhanced mobility. Our meticulous screening process selects superior cells, dubbed Golden Cells™, ensuring optimal treatment quality and efficacy.
Larry’s Experience with Stem Cell Therapy in Panama
Hailing from northeast of Dallas, Texas, Larry Townes was experiencing a lot of pain in his knees as well as in other joints. After some research, he discovered Stem Cell Institute in Panama and the possibilities of Stem Cell Therapy for his osteoarthritis.
Describing his reaction to treatment, Larry says:
“I’d say three to thirty days after I received stem cells, my pain was gone. Really, it helped me so much. I really do believe in stem cells so about every 11 months I come back and do it again. It’s been so great for me. So to all my friends and the ones I don’t know out there, if you have joint pain, remember that stem cells are the way to go.”
How Stem Cells May Help Treat Osteoarthritis
Also known as degenerative joint disease or degenerative arthritis, osteoarthritis affects over 32 million people in the United States. Osteoarthritis isn’t an actual disease. It’s an umbrella term for a group of abnormalities that affect the joints. They cause the joints to degrade over time, including subchondral bone and articular cartilage.
Common symptoms of osteoarthritis include joint:
Pain
Stiffness
Locking
Some sufferers may also experience effusion, which is when too much fluid builds up around a joint in your body.
Cartilage helps protect the bone, but it can be worn away. This can cause muscles in the affected area to weaken due to reduced movement caused by pain, and ligaments may become looser as a consequence.
Apart from potentially repairing damaged tissues, our Golden Cells™ are selected to maximize the potential of regulating the immune system. This may assist in halting harmful responses while maintaining disease-fighting abilities. We’ve noted improvements in patients receiving stem treatment cells for osteoarthritis at our facilities.
Benefits of Stem Cell Treatment
Treating joint pain with Golden Cells™, which are specially-selected human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCT-MSCs), comes with several advantages over other treatments. This includes:
Not being reliant on harvesting stem cells from the patient’s hip bone or fat under anesthesia, which can be an uncomfortable experience
An increasing amount of evidence suggests that stem cells derived from healthy umbilical cord tissue demonstrate greater robustness compared to those sourced from other origins
Stem cells can be administered multiple times, over several days with consistent dosages containing high cell counts
Umbilical cord tissue offers a plentiful source of stem cells
After a years-long retrospective study of patient outcomes, we have identified the best cells to provide our patients—Golden Cells™
What are Golden Cells™?
Following years of treating thousands of patients, our team conducted an exhaustive retrospective analysis over two years, identifying six distinct cell lines with a unique molecular signature. They have been termed Riordan Golden Cells™. This discovery empowers us to select superior cells for treating chronic diseases, advancing the widespread use of specialized mesenchymal stem cells.
Our found Neil Riordan, PA, PhD, explains it this way:
“This is the first time in history that anyone has been able to retrospectively analyze which MSCs have more benefit. I like to say that an MSC is not an MSC. They are not all created equal. If you are picking a basketball team, would you want me on your team or LeBron James, possibly the best basketball player of all time? We are both humans, but our abilities on the court are not equal. It’s the same with MSCs. Some perform better than others. That’s why we’ve been working to select the best cells for use in patients with chronic disease. Now we can retrospectively analyze existing data on outcomes. We are the only stem cell company with the data to do that.”

Stem Cell Treatment for Osteoarthritis – William’s Story
Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease that causes chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, severely impacting quality of life. Stem cell treatment may help alleviate its symptoms, including chronic pain, stiffness, and diminished mobility associated with this degenerative joint disease.
William had been undergoing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for osteoarthritis for 15 years, but its effectiveness had waned. His doctor recommended Stem Cell Institute in Panama for more effective treatment. Initially skeptical, he was eventually convinced and his first visit resulted in significant pain relief. William continues to benefit from our revolutionary Golden Cells™, experiencing positive outcomes and expressing high satisfaction.
William’s Orthopedic Surgeon Recommends Stem Cell Treatment for Osteoarthritis
William was sent to us by his orthopedic surgeon who also happens to be the doctor for the world-famous LA Clippers NBA team and the Los Angeles Angels MLB team. Before stem cell therapy, William had been undergoing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for osteoarthritis. PRP involves injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets into the affected joint.
PRP is believed to:
Reduce pain
Reduce stiffness
Improving function
William had been undergoing PRP therapy for 15 years. Unfortunately, his doctor felt the treatments were no longer working as well as they used to. It was at that point that his doctor recommended stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis at Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama.
From Skeptic to Believer
William wasn’t initially sold on the idea of coming to Panama to receive stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis. It wasn’t until he spoke to his niece that he started to become more open. She had come to our treatment center four years before William’s first visit. Like him, she turned to stem cell therapy after her previous treatment for an autoimmune disease had stopped affecting her condition.
William’s niece was also recommended Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama, by her immunologist. “She got the injections and hasn’t been sick a day since,” says William. “She hasn’t had another injection at the Mayo Clinic. She had a baby which she was told she’d never have, and got remarried. So it changed her whole life.”
He goes on to say:
“So I asked her if it was a real, legitimate place and she said it was the best medical facility she’d been to. And she’s a PhD psychologist. So my experience, her experience, and the multiple people I’ve talked to in the lobby…all have had great success with stem cells.”
William, Stem Cell Institute Patient
After Stem Cell Treatment
Describing his first stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis at Stem Cell Institute, William says:
“My first visit was a roaring success”
William, Stem Cell Institute Patient
Both his knees and shoulders stopped hurting after his first treatment. However, his doctor recommended that he return for a second round of treatment. This was due to the lack of cartilage in his knees and shoulders. William’s doctor believes that another round of stem cells will help him avoid knee and shoulder replacement surgery in the future.
Coming to Stem Cell Institute in Panama
William always enjoys his time getting stem cell treatment for osteoarthritis at Stem Cell Institute in Panama. “The staff is excellent and the doctors are great,” he says. He’s also impressed by how easy it is to travel.
Describing coming to Panama, he says:
“The logistics are really good. They meet you at the airport to take you to the hotel. The hotel is connected to the stem cell clinic by a lobby so you don’t have to ever leave the place… I’ve been doing my treatments and really have nothing but good things to say.”
There, he reveals the story behind the discovery of Golden Cells™ and their significance in stem cell therapy. After treating thousands of patients and observing unique recoveries, our team embarked on a thorough investigation. We reviewed our results for two and a half years, ultimately identifying six distinctive cell lines with unique molecular characteristics.
These were named Riordan Golden Cells™ and they are now the cornerstone of our patient treatment approach.
As Dr. Riordan explains:
“This is the first time in history that anyone has been able to retrospectively analyze which MSCs have more benefit. I like to say that an MSC is not an MSC. They are not all created equal. If you are picking a basketball team, would you want me on your team or LeBron James, possibly the best basketball player of all time?

That’s why we’ve been working to select the best cells for use in patients with chronic disease. Now we can retrospectively analyze existing data on outcomes. We are the only stem cell company with the data to do that.”

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (Golden Cells™) for Autism with Luciano S.
Luciano S. started coming to Stem Cell Institute in 2019 following an autism diagnosis. Since then, his condition has improved by leaps and bounds. Check out the video below and read about his experience receiving our specially-selected mesenchymal stem cells, known as Golden Cells™, for autism at Stem Cell Institute in Panama.
Luciano’s Autism Diagnosis
Anthony has been bringing his son, Luciano, to Stem Cell Institute, our clinic in Panama, for the past few years. These visits began following Luciano’s autism diagnosis. “Life for Luciano before we came to Stem Cell Institute for infusions was rough,” says Anthony. “I mean nothing short of rough.
“I think he was frustrated, withdrawn, isolated. And that’s a very rough thing for a parent to see.”
Luciano struggled with coordination and communication. Being unable to communicate was very frustrating for him, which led to tantrums and becoming more withdrawn. He never initiated communication. “You always had to draw it out of him,” explained Anthony. “It was almost nonexistent. No eye contact, not very social, and it was tough. Very tough.”
This all changed following Luciano’s autism diagnosis. His diagnosis kicked off a process of applying for treatment and traveling to Stem Cell Institute in Panama City, Panama, for autism stem cell treatment.
“When we identified the issue, I told my wife “I know where we’re going” and she agreed. And so obviously we went through the application process and we were approved. We came down to [Stem Cell Institute in] Panama and I will tell you that the second day, he went up to a little girl at the pool and introduced himself.”
Anthony can’t describe this moment without becoming emotional. “It’s an emotional thing to talk about, right? Because it was the first sign that he could have a normal life.”
Since then, Luciano has progressed by leaps and bounds. “He’s far more secure and verbal to a point where sometimes you just want to say ‘Shhh,’” Anthony says laughingly.
Detailing Luciano’s progress, Anthony says that he is:
Inquisitive
Kind
Happy
He’s also much more social, wanting to play with his sisters and friends.
“You took a little kid who was almost in the dark, and I wouldn’t say afraid, but uncomfortable in almost every situation. Now you have a child that’s in the light, that’s comfortable in almost every situation. And that’s life-changing for him, his sisters, and his parents.”
Anthony is more hopeful for his son’s future than ever before, saying, “I think now he’s on his way to streamlining into society and education.”
Updates on Luciano’s Progress
Luciano has been coming to us for a few years now and returned for his third visit in 2022. According to Anthony, treatment with our proprietary Golden Cells™, a type of mesenchymal stem cells for autism unique to Stem Cell Institute Panama, has been “paradigm-shifting for his autism.”
“He has progressed faster and quicker. All his therapists and neuropsychologists have said that while we see typically at his age the gap widening, they are now seeing the gap narrowing for him.”
Anthony was able to go into more detail in 2023 when he and Luciano came in for another treatment. “My son is a very active little guy,” says Anthony. “He enjoys jiu-jitsu, playing golf, and running and playing like any normal boy.”
“So obviously these are huge, huge, huge events in our lives. This has been paradigm-shifting and life-changing for us. And after the Stem Cell Institute, my wife has a life again. She’s running around a lot with his therapies and the girls and their soccer and their basketball and the jiu-jitsu and all of that. So it’s crazy, but it’s a good crazy.”
The Stem Cell Institute Experience
When describing Stem Cell Institute, Anthony says that his experience with us has been “nothing short of fantastic. It’s been fabulous.”
“From the second someone at the front desk greets you to the nurses, the techs, and the doctors are just phenomenal. Everybody understands the uncomfortableness so people put your mind at ease and make you feel comfortable. They understand the fear and anxiety, not just in the child, which there is a lot, but also the anxiety in the parent.”
Anthony understands that some people may be hesitant about receiving medical treatment outside of the United States. However, he says that the cure is researching Panama itself. He says, “If you read a little bit about Panama, you quickly understand that it’s the Switzerland of Central and South America.”
The key to Panama’s prosperity is in the Panama Canal. This has led to safe streets as well as a strong banking system. Anthony enjoys the culture, food, and ability to communicate in English when he visits Panama City. For those who may still be sitting on the fence, he encourages you by saying, “You never feel uncomfortable. The city has a tremendous amount to offer.”

Stem Cell Treatment for Autism with Golden Cells™ – Renzo T.
86-year-old John Avanzini talks about improvements in his health after undergoing stem cell therapy at the Stem Cell Institute in Panama.
Transcript:
I’m John Avanzini. I’m here with Stem Cell Institute and I’m here to tell you what a change it’s made in my life. I had such a problem with the neuropathy in my feet. It was really terrible in the morning getting started walking but even after my first session, I was able to walk to the bathroom without discomfort.
I’ve also seen a tremendous tightening of my skin. I’ve got skin like a young person again. I’m 86 years old just a couple of days ago. Feeling wonderful. Traveling the world, and now I do have a problem with my kidneys, but creatinine is under control and moving forward, I believe I’m going to have a complete healing myself.
I look forward to the next time I’m here, which I’m scheduling now for my third time. I’m scheduled to be here just six months from today. And at that time, as usual, they’ll be meeting me at the airport. They’ll be escorting me quickly to my room. I’m staying in the best hotel in the city – very beautiful room. And the doctors and nurses here, first class.
And I really look forward to my next visit here, and maybe I’ll meet you here next time!
