IRB-Approved Protocols
Right-to-Try Access

Every Child Deserves A Second Chance to Re-Connect

We are the first science-driven platform providing families legal, compliant access to advanced stem cell and regenerative therapies for autism—delivered under the Right-to-Try pathway and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved treatment protocols.

Unlike conventional models that focus only on behavior, we approach autism as a medical condition focusing on the underlying biology—systemic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance—using personalized, data-driven treatment plans designed to deliver measurable, whole-body outcomes.

Every protocol is developed alongside a prestigious board of advisors, rigorously reviewed for safety and compliance, and continuously refined using objective clinical data. This is not experimental care done casually. This is regulated innovation—done right.

BetterStem exists to empower families, transform lives, and set a new global standard for regenerative autism care.

Our Mission

More Than Treatment— We're Building a Movement

For decades, families affected by autism have been told to manage symptoms, not ask why. To accept limitations instead of demanding better answers. To navigate fragmented systems that focus on behavior while ignoring the biology beneath it.

BetterStem exists to change that.

The future of autism treatment is here—and it is rooted in science, accountability, and compassion. BetterStem is leading the way with evidence-based regenerative therapies designed to address the underlying medical factors associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder, including inflammation, immune imbalance, and metabolic dysfunction.

We believe children with autism deserve more than one-size-fits-all solutions. Every child is different—and so is every treatment plan. That's why our approach is personalized, data-driven, and continuously refined using measurable clinical outcomes.

Safety and integrity are non-negotiable. Our protocols are developed alongside leading experts, reviewed by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), and delivered through compliant legal pathways. This is innovation with guardrails—where progress never comes at the expense of trust.

At the heart of BetterStem is a simple but powerful mission: to give families real options, grounded in science, and expanded access to care.

No promises. No shortcuts.
But a new standard of care—built for the future.

🌟 How It Works

How Stem Cells Support Your Child's Brain

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) work at the cellular level to address the root causes of autism—naturally and gently supporting your child's development.

🛡️

Calm Immune Responses

MSCs help regulate the immune system, reducing overactive responses that contribute to brain inflammation. This calming effect addresses chronic neuroinflammation underlying autism.

🔧

Repair Brain Tissue

MSCs deliver growth factors and bioactive molecules that promote the repair of damaged or underdeveloped brain tissues, supporting natural recovery and development.

💧

Boost Blood Flow

MSCs actively promote angiogenesis—creating new blood vessels. This increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to underdeveloped areas of the brain.

🧠

Enhance Brain Connections

By fostering new synaptic connections, stem cells enhance neuroplasticity—allowing the brain to rewire itself and improve cognitive functions, learning, and memory.

💊

Deliver Healing Molecules

Stem cells secrete protective molecules including BDNF and VEGF, which collectively protect neurons, promote survival, and enhance regeneration.

Support Long-Term Health

Clinical studies show MSCs address root causes like inflammation and oxidative stress, potentially supporting long-term brain health and development.

The Power of Angiogenesis

Remember how we mentioned that children with autism often have reduced blood flow to key brain areas? This is where MSCs truly shine.

MSCs Stem Cells don't just reduce inflammation—they actively create new blood vessels through a process called angiogenesis.

More blood vessels = Better oxygen delivery = Improved brain function and development

The Science

Understanding Autism: The Challenge We're Solving

For decades, autism has been treated primarily as a behavioral disorder. But emerging research reveals a deeper story—one of immune dysfunction, inflammation, and reduced cerebral blood flow.

What Research Has Revealed

Reduced Cerebral Blood Flow

Children with autism experience hypoperfusion (reduced blood flow) in key brain areas, especially the frontal lobe—which governs speech, face recognition, and social behavior.

Neuronal Hypoxia

Poor perfusion leads to lack of oxygen to brain tissue, impairing the brain's ability to function and develop normally. Symptom severity often correlates with how poorly perfused these regions are.

Immune Dysregulation

Numerous studies show autism to be immune-mediated. Children with ASD have significantly elevated levels of C-Reactive Protein (CRP)—a marker of systemic inflammation—compared to healthy controls.

Experimental Evidence

Studies have shown that induced ischemia (restricted blood flow) can trigger autism-like behaviors, reinforcing that cerebral blood flow plays a central role in the disorder.

MRI brain perfusion imaging helps assess cerebral blood flow and tissue viability. It aids in diagnosing strokes, tumors, and other neurological conditions.
The BetterStem Solution

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs): A New Approach

Because autism is immune-mediated, MSCs—which are powerful immunomodulatory agents—emerge as a promising treatment candidate.

MSCs have successfully treated other immune-mediated conditions including Inflammatory Arthritis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Graft-Versus-Host Disease. Early research shows promising results for autism, with patients demonstrating long-term improvements in EEG activity and clinical symptoms, including increased sociability.

Why BetterStem

We Didn't Come to Offer "Another Stem Cell Option"

We came to fix what's broken.

In a field full of shortcuts, guesswork, and inconsistent protocols, BetterStem chose the opposite path: excellence, oversight, and measurable outcomes—every single time.

The Only One of Our Kind in the United States

We are the only organization in the United States delivering access to stem cell therapy for children through:

IRB-Approved Protocols

Institutional Review Board oversight ensures ethical standards

FDA-Regulated Products

Pharmaceutical-grade stem cell products with regulatory compliance

Right-to-Try Pathway

Lawful, structured access designed for families

While Others Avoid Compliance Because It's Expensive, Slow, and Demanding...

We lean into it—because children deserve more than the bare minimum.

"Most providers don't use Right-to-Try or rigorous protocols for one reason: it requires real oversight, real data collection, real supervision, and total accountability. There is no room for improvisation when the goal is to help a child."

Quality is Not a Marketing Claim

At BetterStem, quality is a mandate.

We track every child's progress using standardized clinical assessments, objective biomarkers, behavioral metrics, and longitudinal follow-up aligned with clinical-trial standards.

Standardized Clinical Assessments track measurable outcomes

Objective Biomarkers provide scientific validation

Behavioral Metrics document real-world improvements

Longitudinal Follow-Up ensures lasting results

The BetterStem Difference

This is why we are different.
This is why no one else does what we do.

And this is why families trust BetterStem to take the only approach that puts science, ethics, safety, and measurable progress first.

Critical Information

What Parents Need to Know About Stem Cell Regulatory Oversight for ASD

Not all stem cell treatments for autism are created equal—the difference comes down to regulation, legality, and transparency.

BetterStem is the only provider sourcing stem cells from a laboratory operating under an FDA-authorized Investigational New Drug (IND) specifically for Autism Spectrum Disorder, with IRB-approved treatment protocols and lawful clinical acquisition of cells.

Many clinics rely on commercially sold stem cells labeled for "research use only" and inaccurately describe their use as "off-label," despite stem cells not being FDA-approved drugs for any indication.

At BetterStem, we follow a clearly defined, compliant pathway and track outcomes longitudinally to ensure accountability, safety, and integrity.

The Challenges

The Autism Treatment Gap

Understanding the challenges families face reveals why a new approach is urgently needed

The Problem

No Standard Treatment

Autism currently has no effective FDA-approved medical treatment that addresses root causes.

Behavioral therapies help manage symptoms, but they don't treat the underlying biological mechanisms driving the condition.

The Mystery

Complex Origins

We don't fully understand what causes autism. What we do know is that it involves multiple biological systems.

The immune, metabolic, and neurological systems all work differently in individuals with autism, creating a complex puzzle.

The Impact

Growing Crisis

Nearly half of 25-year-olds with autism have never held a paying job.

$268B in 2015
Projected $461B by 2025

These challenges highlight the urgent need for innovative, science-based treatment approaches that address the root biological causes of autism.
