Stem Cell Therapy Treats Type 1 Diabetes—and Potentially Much More

This week, we witnessed a remarkable milestone in stem cell therapy. A single infusion of a stem cell-based treatment may have effectively cured 10 out of 12 people with a severe form of type 1 diabetes. One year later, these 10 patients no longer needed insulin to maintain stable blood glucose levels, and their tests […]

Methylene Blue – The Rediscovered Panacea

When I was a child in the Yaroslavl region of the Soviet Union, our healthcare system was remarkably effective—decades ahead of its time. Many standard practices we took for granted are now being “rediscovered” by biohackers and integrative medicine clinics in the U.S. and Europe. These “Russian” roots are increasingly recognized at biohacking conferences, particularly […]

Regeneration / stem cells express program

Revolutionizing Healing with Stem Cells and PRP
Cell therapy is one of the most promising new technologies in medicine. In consists of injecting or implanting viable cells in the body. Some applications of cell therapy are highly specialized and complicated (especially pre-engineered immune cells for cancer therapy). The others, namely stem cell therapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are a potent and wide-spread solution for healing and rejuvenation. We offer these cutting- edge treatments to harness the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate. These are powerful, minimally invasive solutions for a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain and fatigue to aesthetic enhancements and overall wellness.

The Power of Umbilical Cord Stem Cells
In an array of available adult stem cells, we chose multi-potent cells from umbilical cord tissue, so-called umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These cells are obtained ethically from consenting donors following healthy births, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. When administered, umbilical cord MSCs cells seek out damaged tissues and initiate repair by reducing inflammation, promoting new cell growth, and improving overall function. This makes them ideal for treating degenerative
conditions, injuries, autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions and age-related
concerns.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): A Natural Healing Booster
PRP therapy is another transformative treatment that enhances the body’s natural healing process. It involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and reinjecting the PRP into the targeted area. Platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and new blood vessel formation. PRP therapy is widely used for orthopedic conditions, sports injuries, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and even sexual wellness.
Recently it was found that PRP fraction of venous blood contains a small number of highly potent Very Small Embryonic-like (VSEL) stem cells1. They share characteristics with embryonic stem cells, such as pluripotency markers and the ability to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. VSEL cells have the potential to significantly boost tissue regeneration by:

  • Stimulating new cell growth – VSELs can differentiate into multiple cell types, making them valuable for repairing damaged tissues.
  • Enhancing healing – In synergy with PRP’s growth factors, VSELs may contribute to accelerated tissue repair in orthopedic injuries, wound healing, and aesthetic applications.
  • Anti-aging and rejuvenation – Due to their regenerative properties, VSELs in PRP may support skin rejuvenation, hair regrowth, and overall cellular health.
  • Reducing inflammation – VSELs, like mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), may help regulate the immune response and decrease chronic inflammation.

Although stem cells and PRP can be delivered on spot in 1-2 hours, the effect is much stronger when the body is prepared. Our 3-days express cleansing program includes

  • lymphatic drainage (3)
  • whole body medicinal mud wrap (1)
  • Colonic therapy (1)
  • Red light therapy (2)
  • Food detox (2)
  • PEMF Organ support (2)
  • Whole body massage

During your stay, we will do one or two PRP/VSEL sessions or one umbilical cord MSCs
session

Microplastics & toxins cleansing

The Shocking Link Between Microplastics and Heart Disease

  • What is the #1 cause of death in men and women in the U.S.?
  • Heart disease.
  • What is the most common type of heart disease?
  • Coronary artery disease (CAD), which is responsible for the majority of cases.
    CAD occurs when arteries become blocked by plaques composed of fat,
    cholesterol, fibrin, white blood cells, and cellular debris.

For decades, this has been common knowledge, making heart disease a top priority in research, drug development, and healthcare. As a result, plaque formation and cardiovascular disease are among the most well-understood areas in biomedicine.

However, a groundbreaking discovery in 2024 changed the field forever. A team of Italian surgeons and scientists analyzed the chemical composition of atherosclerotic plaques removed during stent implant surgeries in CAD patients . Shockingly, they found that 60% of these plaques contained plastics, primarily polyethylene.

To further investigate, they monitored these patients for three years. The results were orange-alarming: patients with plastic-contaminated plaques died 4.5 times more often than those without plastics. This discovery provides undeniable evidence of the dangers posed by modern environmental pollutants.

In 2025, new studies revealed even more concerning findings. Microplastics were detected in large quantities in the brain, and individuals with dementia had significantly higher levels 2 . Additionally, microplastics were found to negatively impact the reproductive system.

What Can Be Done?

Once microplastics enter the bloodstream and brain through the small intestine, they are extremely difficult to remove. The liver, kidneys, and gut microbiome are not equipped to process these synthetic materials.

The good news? Repeated IV ozone therapy and Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) have been proven to remove over 90% of microplastics from circulating blood. This process is non-invasive and can be monitored without biopsies, as microplastics are easily visualized using dark-field microscopy of peripheral blood.

Our Plastics Removal Program also includes:

  • Restorative IV therapies
  • Kidney and liver detoxification protocols
  • Daily lymphatic drainage sessions

These treatments work together to enhance the body’s natural waste management
systems, offering a proactive approach to combating microplastic contamination.

Immune system & pathogen control

  • The immune system is an incredibly complex and finely tuned network. It comprises various organs and over 30 types of cells, all working together to defend the body against harmful invaders and cancer cells while avoiding self-harm through autoimmunity.
  • However, some viruses, bacteria, and fungi have evolved sophisticated ways to evade and even manipulate the immune system. One example is chronic Lyme disease, a complex microbial imbalance caused by Borrelia spirochetes. Another widespread issue is chronic post-COVID syndrome, often linked to reactivated Epstein-Barr virus. Additionally, conditions like leaky gut syndrome—an inflammatory disorder caused by microbiome-immune imbalance in the small intestine—further strain immune function. Compounding this burden is the ever-growing presence of autoantibodies in the bloodstream, leading to autoimmune diseases such as lupus, psoriasis, allergies, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
  • In short, our immune system needs a break!
  • Our immune system program begins with a detailed live blood analysis (LBA) using high-resolution phase-contrast and dark-field microscopy. This allows us to examine the functionality of red and white blood cells and platelets, as well as detect various bacterial and fungal pathogens present in the bloodstream.
  • We utilize a combination of biophysical and holistic therapies to restore andactivate immune function, including:
    1. Electric lymphatic drainage – stimulates lymphoid organs for detoxification
    2. Peloid therapy – provides rare minerals for immune balance
    3. Light, PEMF, ozone, and laser therapies – activate specific immune pathways
  • By balancing innate and adaptive immunity, we help:
  • Prevent immune suppression under stress and chronic fatigue
  • Regulate cellular and humoral immunity in autoimmune disorders
  • Improve lymphatic and blood circulation
  • Alleviate autoimmune symptoms
  • Boost energy levels and vitality
  • Our approach offers a natural yet powerful way to reset the immune system and enhance overall well-being.

Weight loss & metabolic syndrome

This Is Not Just Another Weight Loss Program

Recent research has confirmed that excess weight is more than just an inconvenience—it is now recognized as a disease, and for good reason. Carrying extra weight significantly increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, certain cancers, and mental health conditions. It also accelerates aging and shortens our healthspan—the number of years we live in good health.
If maintaining a healthy weight is as simple as eating fewer calories than we burn, why do so many people struggle with it? While diet and exercise are the key factors, very few overweight individuals can successfully achieve long-term weight loss through willpower alone.

The Science Behind Weight Gain

The reality is that we are genetically and hormonally wired to store fat. Our ancestors evolved to maximize energy storage for survival during lean seasons. And fat happened to be the most efficient nutrient for long-term energy reserves. However, in today’s world—where food is abundant and readily available—this evolutionary advantage has become a challenge.

A Sustainable Approach to Weight Loss

We understand this biological challenge. That’s why our program avoids extreme measures, such as prolonged fasting. Instead, we focus on gently rebalancing the body’s metabolic system by optimizing the gastrointestinal, circulatory, and lymphatic functions.
At the same time, we address chronic inflammation through a carefully designed vegan nutrition plan and supplement the process with a specialized weight-loss tea made from potent Mexican herbs.
By the end of the program, our patients leave with a comprehensive three-month naturopathic follow-up plan, along with practical knowledge and clear, actionable steps to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Total detox & liver cleansing

A unique program for cleansing the liver, blood, and vital organ systems from
pathogens, toxins, and waste buildup.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

  • Digestive system issues: bloating, constipation, heartburn, pain, cramps
  • Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Fatigue, weakness, lack of motivation
  • Skin rashes, acne
  • Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis
  • Allergies
  • Hair loss and brittle nails
  • Metabolic syndrome (high cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, blood pressure)
  • Apathy, anxiety
  • Mood swings, tearfulness
  • Brain fog, forgetfulness

Have you seen a doctor yet? Did it help? Many doctors of Western medicine focus on symptoms and pain relief. An allergist or
cardiologist may prescribe a course of pills, essentially teaching a person to live with illness.

The exact root of these symptoms may be, indeed, unclear. Ultra-processed food, microplastics, excessive organic chemical exposure, antibiotics, and parasites are common culprit. However, all of these disparate threats have one thing in common: they hurt our main waste management organ, the liver.

Liver contamination is a major reason for declining quality of life, weakened immunity, and the cause of cholecystitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, myocardial infarction, chronic fatigue, allergies and mental disorders.

The essence of our cleansing method is to free the liver and the body from toxins, heavy metals, preservatives, and accumulated waste from parasites, pathogenic bacteria, and fungi, as well as toxins resulting from poor nutrition and prolonged medication use. Ss far as we know no other program focuses to this extend on the liver, as well as the bile ducts and pancreas.
We begin and conclude the program with blood and bile microscopy, allowing us to visually monitor progress. The lab blood tests before and after the program will quantify the results.
This unique program was originally developed in the 1980s by Academic Ashot Khachatryan and later refined by his son, Dr. Artyom Khachatryan. Protected by over 60 patents and certifications, it is exclusively available at Santa Maria. The typical program. lasts 2–3 weeks at Santa Maria, followed by a three-month at-home restoration protocol.

THIS PROGRAM WILL HELP WITH

  • Detox and cleansing of liver, gallbladder, kidneys and skin
  • Activation of liver functions and bile production
  • Boost of energy and vitality
  • Improved mood and well-being
  • Liver and kidney function restoration

A Pleasant Bonus

After the cleansing, you will experience body rejuvenation, stable and comfortable weight maintenance, improved skin quality and elasticity, and better sleep quality.

We are so confident in the results, that we will use an AI program to calculate biological age before and after.
