odern medicine is based on the scientific method of observation,
a hypothesis of etiology and testing that hypothesis by therapeutic
trial. Thismethod has worked well in acute diseases of a single etiology.
With the success of this methodology came the sequela of chronic
debilitatingdiseasesofgreatercomplexitywithwhichthebasicscientific
method demonstrated to be difficult due to the nature of complexity.
Complexity in contrast to complication refers to unpredictability and
inconsistent response to a given intervention. Chronic diseases which
are the focus of Regenerative Medicine are models of complexity due
to their multiple interacting processes. This complexity thus demands
a different methodology which would cope with the ever-changing
multiple processes. A systems method or holistic approach would be
an iterative, repetitive process focusing on the fundamental process
of inflammation which underlies all diseases. Because inflammation
has many different factors, a systematic approach to balance these
underlying factors of inflammation while adjusting to the new
changes ensuing from intervention must be constantly monitored. The
implementation of stem cells in the chronic diseases of Regenerative
Medicine would also benefit from this systems approach by decreasing
the underlying inflammation and allowing the regenerative process
to focus on the disorder of extreme concern. Stem cells, given
intravenously, will follow the course of circulation by migrating to areas
of greater inflammation. Stem cells like other cells would thrive and
be more productive if placed in a stimulating environment. Therefore,
the implementation of stem cells in Regenerative Medicine should be
a methodical process to control generalized inflammation and allow
the stem cells, by providing a stimulating environment for the better
function, to focus on disorders where the conventional methods of
treatment are limited.
Biography
Myles Suehiro completed his graduation from
University of Colorado Boulder in 1965. He is a
recipient of several fellowships and certification
in Internal medicine including Fellowship in An-
ti-Aging Regenerative and Functional Medicine.
He worked as an Assistant Professor at Charles
R. Drew Post¬graduate Medical School till 1986,
after which he was appointed as the Director of
I.C.U. at City ViewHospital, Los Angeles andMed-
ical Director at Cardio-Pulmonary Lab in 1990. He
holds immensely vast experi¬ence in the field of
medicine (more than 45 years) and is interested
in the potential of treating rare disorders with the
help of regenerative and functional medicine. At
present he works as the Director of the Ha¬waii
Institute for Health and Healing, LLC.
