Stem Cell Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis in Dallas
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-altering genetic condition that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. While medical advances have significantly improved life expectancy, many CF patients still struggle with chronic lung infections, breathing difficulties, and declining lung function.
At Innovations Stem Cell Center, we offer stem cell therapy as a complementary approach to help reduce lung inflammation and support respiratory function. We typically get 100 million cells or even more (counts may vary), compared with roughly 100,000 from bone marrow. More cells means more healing potential.
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. This mutation causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and obstructs the pancreas.
CF affects approximately 30,000 people in the United States and 70,000 worldwide. It is most common in Caucasians of Northern European descent.
The condition causes:
– Chronic lung infections and inflammation
– Progressive lung damage
– Difficulty breathing
– Digestive problems and malnutrition
– Reduced life expectancy
While not a cure, stem cell therapy may help manage lung-related symptoms by reducing inflammation and supporting tissue health.
Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis
Lung-related symptoms (most common):
– Persistent cough with thick mucus
– Wheezing and shortness of breath
– Frequent lung infections (pneumonia, bronchitis)
– Exercise intolerance
– Declining lung function over time
Digestive symptoms:
– Difficulty absorbing nutrients
– Greasy, bulky stools
– Poor weight gain despite good appetite
– Intestinal blockages
Other symptoms:
– Salty-tasting skin
– Nasal polyps
– Clubbing of fingers and toes
– Fatigue

Our Lung Delivery Protocol
For lung conditions like cystic fibrosis, we use a dual delivery method to maximize stem cell exposure to lung tissue:
IV Infusion:
Stem cells delivered intravenously travel throughout the body. Research shows they naturally concentrate in the lungs during the first pass through circulation.
Nebulizer Delivery:
We also deliver stem cells directly to the lungs via nebulizer. This allows stem cells to reach lung tissue directly, targeting inflammation where it matters most.
This dual approach – IV plus nebulizer – provides comprehensive coverage for lung conditions.
The Cystic Fibrosis Stem Cell Procedure
Our procedure is performed entirely in our Dallas office.
Step 1: Consultation
We review your medical history, current CF treatments, and lung function to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Step 2: Stem Cell Harvest (10–15 minutes)
Using local anesthesia, we harvest about 50cc of fat (3 tablespoons) from your abdomen or flanks.
Step 3: Processing (2.5 hours)
Your fat is processed in our FDA-compliant lab to isolate stem cells. We typically get 100 million cells or even more (counts may vary), and we count them for every patient.
Step 4: Deployment
Stem cells are delivered via IV infusion AND nebulizer for maximum lung exposure.
Total appointment time: approximately 3-4 hours. No general anesthesia. No hospital stay.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a candidate for cystic fibrosis stem cell therapy if you:
– Have been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis
– Experience chronic lung inflammation or infections
– Have declining lung function despite standard treatments
– Are looking for complementary approaches
– Are in stable condition (no acute infections)
– Have no active cancer
– Are old enough to safely harvest fat (discuss with our team)
Stem cell therapy works alongside your existing CF medications and treatments.
