Our STORY
Stem Cell Renew Institute (SCRI) was founded in 2009 by researchers and administrators fed up with the chicanery and unbridled greed rampant among many private clinical stem cell programs abroad. This is one reason you will read this mantra throughout SCRI’s literature and postings: “Patients & their caregivers deal directly with the scientists, technicians, doctors & other professionals who are part of the SCRI program. There are no brokers, marketers, or other middlemen involved in SCRI’s program.”
Not surprisingly, SCRI is a small organization run by those who do the day-to-day “grunt work.” It is in a sense both a collective and a family. Patients and others who have been through the program quickly pick up on and love the fact they do not have to wade through marketing pitches from professional salespeople, or slick brokers. In addition, they do not have to deal with people whose desire to help others is largely predicated on making money. Those who handle and care for them at SCRI are without exception people who have a passion for going the extra mile and a long history of doing this, often for little or no pay or other tangible rewards.
And most importantly, SCRI is results-committed and driven. Its doctors and researchers are tireless in their quest of things that reliably turn the tables on human suffering. In addition, the body of science that informs SCRI’s work and offerings is a very leading edge. Biochemist Dr. Abel Pena, who runs the SCRI laboratory, was trained by a leading US stem cell biologist and maintains the highest levels of safety and hygiene in his lab in Mexico. In addition, he has pioneered numerous methods for priming stem cells, i.e., getting them to respond to chemical signals in target tissues by becoming cells that tend to affect or support healing or relief. Stem cells primed using Dr. Abel’s methods have produced salutary, sometimes remarkable clinical responses in people with a wide variety of neurologic & other diseases and conditions.

Other SCRI positives:
Stem Cell Renew Institute has never worked with embryonic or fetal stem cells, and never will. Embryonic and fetal stem cells can produce tumors (These are classified as pluripotent” which means they can form teratomas and other tumors in certain instances such as being injected into the central nervous system). The adult stem cells Stem Cell Renewal Institute uses (umbilical cord, Wharton’s Jelly, placenta-derived, and a patient’s own bone marrow) are “multipotent” which limits the body cell types they can become (These stem cells do not form teratomas or such. Some private stem cell clinics in Europe and the US have injected adult stem cells into organs such as kidneys and eyes which caused problems and complications. Stem Cell Renew Institute never injected stem cells into an organ).
Let’s be very clear about these points and a few others:
(1) Stem Cell Renew Institute was established in 2009.
(2) Stem Cell Renew Institute has never used embryonic or fetal stem cells and never will (They can form tumors under certain circumstances).
(3) Stem Cell Renew Institute only uses multipotent adult stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood, Wharton’s Jelly, placental tissue, and a patient’s own bone marrow.
(4) Stem Cell Renew Institute administers stem cells by intravenous drip (IV) or intrathecal (spinal tap). Everything related to this is spelled out, a process called “informed consent”. Patients who prefer not to do this are given cells by intravenous or IV drip).
