Quick answer

Can stem cells help with autoimmune diseases?

It is a protocol with mesenchymal stem cells that seeks to modulate the immune response and reduce systemic inflammation. It does not promise a cure: it aims for fewer symptoms and a better quality of life. It is for patients with a confirmed diagnosis, evaluated case by case and coordinated with your rheumatologist or specialist; it does not replace them.

Updated October 31, 2026

Is it for me?

For patients with a diagnosed autoimmune disease. Each case is evaluated individually, including those with a compromised immune system.

If you recognize yourself in any of these

You have a diagnosed autoimmune disease.
You have frequent flare-ups.
Immunosuppressants have caused you side effects.
You still have persistent systemic inflammation.

It is not for you if there is

Active cancer
Acute infections
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Severe, uncontrolled immunosuppression

The initial evaluation confirms it.

What will be done?

What it is

It is an immunomodulation protocol that uses mesenchymal stem cells to modulate the immune system’s response against the body itself and reduce inflammation. It is coordinated with your rheumatologist or specialist; it does not replace them.

Conditions it treats

Rheumatoid arthritis
Lupus erythematosus
Multiple sclerosis
Crohn’s disease
Severe psoriasis
Sjögren’s syndrome

How it works

Immune system retrainingReduces the autoimmune attacks on the body itself.
Tissue regenerationRepair of tissue damaged by chronic inflammation.
Cytokine regulationModulation of proinflammatory molecules in the immune system.
Immune toleranceRestores the balance between defense and self-tolerance.

Step by step

1
Initial evaluation
A consultation with Dr. Guerrero Silva. He reviews your history and tests to decide whether you are a candidate and what to aim for with treatment.
45-minute consultation, virtual or in person
2
Protocol design
A plan made for you: type of stem cells, concentration, delivery route and complementary therapies such as IV therapy, laser or magnetotherapy.
Depending on your case: IV therapy, laser or magnetotherapy
3
Treatment
Performed in facilities licensed by the Bogotá Health Department. The cells are processed in biosafety level II laboratories.
Continuous medical supervision
4
Follow-up
Medical check-ups after treatment to verify how you respond and adjust the protocol.
We don’t promise cures: we pursue real, sustainable, measurable results

How many sessions and what results?

Every case progresses differently: these are the usual milestones of follow-up. We do not promise cures; we aim for real, sustainable and measurable results.

Sessions: Usually 1 to 3 initial ones, plus follow-up. The number depends on the condition and the clinical response.
Medication: Do not stop your immunosuppressive treatment on your own: it is coordinated with your rheumatologist or specialist.
Safety: Each case is evaluated individually, including patients with a compromised immune system.

First weeks
- First changes between 4 and 8 weeks
- Less systemic fatigue
1 to 3 months
- Less frequent flare-ups
- Better joint function
6 months or more
- Immune stabilization, between 3 and 6 months
- Possible gradual reduction of medication, with your specialist

Frequently asked questions

Can stem cells cure an autoimmune disease?

We don’t promise a cure. We do achieve effective modulation, symptom reduction, and sustained quality-of-life improvement backed by clinical evidence.

Do I need to stop my current immunosuppressant treatment?

Not on your own. We coordinate adjustments with your rheumatologist or specialist based on clinical progress.

How long does it take to see an effect?

First changes appear between 4-8 weeks. Immune stabilization may take 3-6 months.

Is it safe for patients with a compromised immune system?

Mesenchymal stem cells have a high safety profile in immunocompromised patients. Each case is evaluated individually.

How many sessions do I need?

Generally 1-3 initial sessions plus follow-up. The exact number depends on the condition and clinical response.

How does stem cell therapy help with rheumatoid arthritis specifically?

For rheumatoid arthritis, mesenchymal stem cells help modulate the immune system’s attack on the joints, reducing inflammation, joint pain, and the frequency of flare-ups — often alongside a gradual reduction in immunosuppressant medication, coordinated with your rheumatologist.
