The Asian Stem Cell Institute
(A Center for Anti-Aging and Regenerative Stem Cell Therapies)
Whether to be treated for pathological conditions, or for preventive and anti-aging therapies, patients in the Philippines and those abroad, have been coming to the Asian Stem Cell Institute (ASCI) in the Medical Plaza Ortigas �Pasig City, to have their concerns addressed. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Cristina Puyat, MD., who is also the clinics Medical Director, the ASCI is the premier and most comprehensive anti-aging center in the Philippines.
The clinic, also designed by Dr. Maria Cristina Puyat, has a clean, comfy, and relaxed ambiance � reminiscent more of hotel spa rather than a stem cell treatment center.
Facing the leather couches and center table is a huge flat screen TV where guests may watch movies while waiting for their test results or their treatments.
Behind the sliding doors surrounding the lobby and reception areas are consultation and treatment rooms that span the complex; two class 100,000 Clean Rooms for Operations; multiple treatment rooms; compounding and infusion an entire wing devoted to Aesthetics; a facility with hyperbaric oxygen equipment; and two-in house Class 10 Sterile laboratory facilities.
Patients who undergo stem cell harvesting via Peripheral Blood Collection, tumescent liposuction, and/or bone marrow extraction, are accommodated in the surgical suites. Nutritional IV therapy, hydro colon therapy and other treatments may be done in one of many other treatment rooms.
While one laboratory functions as a processing area for stem cells and other cellular therapy, the other is where customized nutritional supplements and nutraceutical medicines are made. Both laboratories are kept with safety and security systems to monitor sterile conditions and prevent contamination.
The hyperbaric chamber exposes a patient to pure oxygen under high-pressure as a treatment by itself, or as an adjunctive, supportive treatment for stem cell treatments. Studies have shown that a hyperbaric oxygen chamber helps to increase number of stem cells in a patient�s body.
All of the clinic�s equipment and laboratories are designed to facilitate treatments and therapies safely and effectively to patients. In particular, they serve to put patients through the four pillars of ASCI�s preventive and anti-aging program, which include: Detoxification; Hormone Balancing; Vitamin and Nutraceutical Supplementation; and Cellular Therapy.

A Filipina Doctor in Dresden, Doc Cri Puyat of Asian Stem Cell Institute
For Dr. Cristina Puyat of Asian Stem Cell Institute, her trips to Dresden, beautiful as it is, involved more serious study for her completion of her Master�s Degree in Preventive and Anti-Aging Medicine. For two years, she was a student of the Dresden International University under its Masters Studies Program in cooperation with the German Society of anti-Aging Medicine, which was opened to international students beginning in 2007. �I was excited to learn that I could be involved in such a prestigious school.� She said
Dresden, that fair city by the River Elbe in Germany, draws visitors each year for its fascinating architectural heritage, art treasures, world-renowned orchestras and choirs, and a history founded in both the Arts and Sciences. These plus the charming landscape and the relaxing, romantic ambience of the Elbe, truly makes a visit to Dresden an unforgettable experience.
The Master Studies is designed for licensed physicians involved in private practice or public health. It is advanced training for doctors who wish to add the science of preventive medicine to their professional competencies. Doctors who complete the program, including a successful defense of their thesis, are awarded the degree of �Master of Science in Preventive Medicine� which is recognized in Germany and internationally as well.
Preventive and anti-aging medicine is, by its nature, multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary. There are many illnesses and conditions associated with aging. These would include conditions like hypertension, arteriosclerosis and other heart-related diseases, to arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, dementia, and various cancers.
�Additionally, our courses covered studies ranging from stem cell and cellular therapy, to nutritional medicine, to hormone balancing, age management and anti-stress therapies.� She said.
Dr. Puyat of Asian Stem Cell Institute was also encouraged by the camaraderie among the classmates from various countries: Russia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Jordan, United States of America, France, Thailand, Germany, Spain, Greece, England, Lithuania, Qatar, Australia, and of course the Philippines. The eclectic mix of doctors in the Masters Studies Program is also a reflection of the multi-disciplinary nature of preventive medicine.
�Everyone at the DIU was really friendly and we all spoke to one another about our thesis projects, we compared notes, and learned from one another as well,� she says, adding �I created friends that will last a lifetime.�
