Dementia
Slowing decline and holding onto independence for longer
What is Dementia?
Dementia is a broader umbrella than Alzheimer's — vascular changes, Lewy body disease, mixed causes — and what we see day to day is confusion creeping into once-familiar routines, misplaced words, and families quietly taking over tasks a parent used to manage alone. The pattern and pace vary a lot by underlying cause, and getting that cause properly identified matters more than most people realise.
How regenerative medicine supports it
We start with a careful review of the diagnostic workup — sometimes referring back for imaging or bloodwork if the cause hasn't been pinned down — because treatable contributors like vascular risk factors can be addressed directly. Cellular and anti-inflammatory therapies are used to support brain function and circulation, tracked against standard cognitive and functional scales. We do not reverse established dementia, and in more advanced cases we're candid that supporting comfort and current function is the realistic goal.
Treatments we would consider
Options discussed for this condition
Listed for orientation only. What is actually prescribed depends on your records.
- MSC TherapyMedical team-guided stem cell therapy using mesenchymal cells for joint, immune and whole-body recovery.
- NAD+ IV TherapyNAD+ infusions supporting cellular energy, focus and longevity programs.
- HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)Pressurised oxygen sessions supporting wound healing, recovery and tissue oxygenation.
- Curcumin IV TherapyIntravenous curcumin for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support.
If the evidence for treating dementia this way is thin, we will tell you before you book — and the review is not billed.
Dementia — Questions Patients Ask
How is this different from what you'd offer for Alzheimer's specifically?
Alzheimer's is one cause of dementia among several, and vascular dementia or mixed dementia can respond somewhat differently to circulation-focused therapies. We'll want to know or establish the underlying cause before tailoring the programme, rather than treating all dementia the same way.
My father has vascular dementia after several small strokes — can this help?
Supporting blood flow and reducing further vascular damage is a genuine focus for vascular dementia, and some patients see functional stability as a result. We won't recover the tissue already lost to prior strokes, so expectations are set around slowing further decline.
Will this stop him needing full-time care eventually?
We can't promise that, and dementia is generally a progressive condition regardless of treatment. What we aim for is extending the period of independence and function where realistically possible.
Should we keep his current specialist appointments going?
Yes, definitely — we work alongside his geriatrician or neurologist and don't touch his existing diagnosis or medication plan. Our programme is supportive, not a substitute for his core dementia care team.
Is it too late to start if he's already quite confused day to day?
It's rarely 'too late' to assess, but the realistic goals shift — at a more advanced stage we're focused on comfort, stability and quality of life rather than significant functional gains. We'll be honest with your family about which category he falls into before starting anything.
