Success Stories
See what our patients say about our therapy for autism:
“Our son was diagnosed with autism at 18 months old. We’ve been doing treatments for a year now, he’s conversing, recognizes others, is more social, is learning better… whereas before he used to have a huge meltdown. Innate Healthcare Institute treatment has been really life-changing for us.”

“Wow! I can’t believe it’s been five months! Mason is still making progress in leaps and bounds! He is mimicking new words each and every day! I’d say he could babble about 2-3 words before treatment, and now can mimic about 25-30! It’s been so crazy to see! He’s also able to identify picture cards and can correctly identify upwards of 30 pictures! He’s still engaging more with his brothers, and is engaging with friends of ours that he’s never acknowledged before! It’s been such a wild ride! Everyday we’re amazed by something he does or says. My favorite thing he’s recently begun is responding to the word, “no!” It’s so amazing! As a child that has little awareness of danger, and often elopes, the ability to say, “no” and have him react appropriately is so great.”
– Gorman Family
“Cooper had been suffering from lack of focus and energy, reduced social engagement, and digestive problems stemming from a low immune system. It was a challenge to get Cooper to pay attention to things, and to respond to others when he was addressed. Since recently discovering Innate Healthcare Institute, Cooper has improved across all measures including boosted verbal skills, healthier digestive system, more energy and overall general happiness and excitement. Cooper has displayed increased energy and awareness of those around him. He is much more active, and enjoying playtime much more than before. And after being in special needs classrooms since the age of 3, Cooper will joining a traditional 1st grade class this fall!”
– Cooper and Casey
“We’d tried so many different treatments until we found Innate’s treatment. I was worried about any side effects cause London has one kidney smaller then the other. But since starting the treatments we’ve seen growth, eye contact, better balance, she can walk up and down stairs, her cognition and following directions is better. The number one thing we see has been more talking. We even found out that her smaller kidney has grown.”

What Is Autism?
Autism, also referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to autism. Symptoms include challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. It is commonly thought that autism is influenced by a combination of neurological, gastrointestinal and immune system factors. Leading many experts to state that ASD is an autoimmune condition.
Autoimmune disease is a category representing more than 80 conditions. These conditions are highlighted by a person’s own immune system attacking healthy tissue. A healthy immune system defends against infection and disease, repairing the body and even preventing cancers. However, in autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes healthy tissue as “bad” and attacks it. This weakens the function of the tissue and can even turn life threatening.
Autism Symptoms
As stated above there are no set signs and symptoms for autism. According to autismspeaks.org not all children show all the signs and many children who don’t have autism show a few signs. Here are some signs and symptoms that may indicate ASD:
- Few or no big smiles or other warm, joyful and engaging expressions
- Limited or no eye contact
- Little or no back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles or other facial expressions
- Little or no babbling
- Little or no back-and-forth gestures such as pointing, showing, reaching or waving
- Little or no response to name
- Very few or no words
- Very few or no meaningful, two-word phrases (not including imitating or repeating) at any age
- Loss of previously acquired speech, babbling or social skills
- Avoidance of eye contact
- Persistent preference for solitude
- Difficulty understanding other people’s feelings
- Delayed language development
- Persistent repetition of words or phrases (echolalia)
- Resistance to minor changes in routine or surroundings
- Restricted interests
- Repetitive behaviors (flapping, rocking, spinning, etc.)
- Unusual and intense reactions to sounds, smells, tastes, textures, lights and/or colors
stem cell therapy for autism
How It Works
Mesenchymal stem cells (aka medicinal signaling cells) are specialized cells in our body designed to improve the immune system and restore damaged tissue. Stem cell therapy with human umbilical cord tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) corrects the inflammatory process by modulating the immune system from a pro-inflammatory attacking state to an anti-inflammatory healthy state. They also have the ability to regenerate damage done from the autoimmune attack. Stem cells do this by secreting healing activators such as growth factors, cytokines, and exosomes to the surrounding environment.
In ASD it is proposed that there is an imbalance in the innate and adaptive immunity. Meaning there’s an alteration leading to the body to be in a pro-inflammatory state. Transplanted stem cells are able to increase anti-inflammatory cytokine production. This is done through multiple mechanisms of actions:
- Paracrine secretion of several anti-inflammatory and survival-promoting molecules (ie, VEGF, HGF, BDNF, NGF)
- Neuroprotective effects
- Hypoimmunogenic and immunosuppressive properties
Stem cell therapy for autism can lead to improvement in cognitive ability, behaviors, and sociability. We typically start to see results in 6 weeks or sooner. It is highly recommended to have continuous stem cell treatments for this condition.
Stem cell therapy is the most highly sophisticated treatment for autoimmune disease management since it modulates the immune system, turns off the autoimmune process of pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory, and also heals and regenerates the tissue naturally. There’s an intricate process called the Th1 and Th2 immune response which is out of balance in autoimmune disease. Stem cells, aka medicinal signaling cells, signal the immune system to become balanced through an increase of Th3, Th17, and T-regulatory cells. This is just a small fraction of what’s going on when this amazing medicine is put in our body.
For the technically minded patients, MSCs inhibit autoimmune innate immune activation by blocking dendritic cell maturation, suppressing macrophage activation, and producing IL-1 antagonist and IL10 which block antigen presentation and perpetuating autoimmunity. These are just some of the known mechanisms. Also, an increase in T-reg cells helps balance the immune system and keeps it out of a pro-inflammatory state.
How do we adminster stem cells for the treatment of autism?
The majority of our stem cell treatments for autism are done in the same manner. We do a combination of intramuscular injections (IM), which is just the same as a shot in the shoulder, or like getting a vaccine shot, an intravenous injection (IV), which is usually just on one day, and an intranasal administration. The intranasal (IN) administration is where we take a small device, called a Mucosal Atomization Device, and apply it to the end of the syringe. This is a small, bell-shaped, soft device that gets inserted into the child’s nose and turns the liquid into a spray. The cells are then administered into a specific part of the nose (the sphenopalatine ganglion) where there are an abundance of blood vessels and nerves that can deliver the cells to the brain.
What are the advantages of using allogeneic (transplanted) umbilical cord tissue derived stem cells (UC-MSC)?
- Umbilical cord tissue is one of the most abundant sources of stem cells, producing a greater number and quality of stem cells.
- Using UC-MSC means there’s no need for invasive procedures seen in bone-marrow or adipose derived stem cells. These methods also tend to produce inferior numbers and poorer quality of stem cells.
- There is evidence that UC-MSCs are a more viable source compared to other MSC sources. Meaning they perform better at what MSCs do naturally.
- UC-MSCs can be administered safely numerous times, each time adding more and more benefit.
What makes the protocols of Innate Healthcare’s stem cell therapy for autism unique?
Our healthcare institute located in Phoenix, AZ is different from other clinics because our regenerative medicines come from our own in-house lab. We follow our vast clinical experience and very well researched protocols from all over the world to achieve the best results. In addition, we treat using a very holistic, comprehensive approach. Some patient’s protocols may vary, as everyone is treated according to their unique presentation:
- We treat with very high, and safe, doses of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC).
- We use lab testing (included with specific protocols) for a more holistic approach to foreign and most domestic clinics. For Autism we test for intestinal infections, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants.
- We provide other treatments and protocols, depending on the needs of the patient. This could range from herbal medicines to pharmaceuticals to get the best possible results.
- Patients are encouraged to return to the clinic for additional care during following months.
- Our protocols have gotten us the amazing results that many families say they haven’t seen in years of treatments from other facilities.
At Innate Healthcare Institute, we combine an effective blend of regenerative and integrative medicine, treating the root of the health problem.
“At the 2-3 month mark, when everything began to kick in, we were just blown away. Every single time you see the immediate bump and then the long term one—we’ve seen such amazing gain.”
– Cuban Family
