Un sismo de magnitud 7,4 se sintió en gran parte del país este 10 de agosto, con daños reportados en Pereira y la región.

Números de emergencia, disponibles 24 horas:

123 — Línea Nacional de Emergencias
112 — Policía Nacional
119 — Bomberos de Colombia
125 — Ambulancias
132 — Cruz Roja Colombiana
144 — Defensa Civil Colombiana

La línea 123 conecta con todos los servicios y es la primera a la que debes llamar.

Recomendaciones después del sismo: revisa si hay heridos y daños estructurales; si percibes olor a gas, no enciendas luces ni fósforos; no ingreses a edificaciones con daños graves; permanece atento a las réplicas y a la información de las autoridades. No intentes rescatar por tu cuenta a personas atrapadas bajo escombros, ya que puede poner en riesgo más vidas.

Consulta los canales oficiales: el Servicio Geológico Colombiano (sgc.gov.co) para información sobre el sismo y las réplicas, y la Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (gestiondelriesgo.gov.co) para la atención de la emergencia. Evita reenviar información sin confirmar y mantén las líneas libres si no tienes una emergencia que reportar.

Nuestra solidaridad con las familias afectadas en Pereira y en toda la región, y con los equipos de emergencia que están trabajando en este momento.

A magnitude 7.4 earthquake was felt across Colombia on 10 August, with damage reported in Pereira and the surrounding region.

Emergency numbers, all available 24 hours:

123 — National emergency line (Línea Nacional de Emergencias)
112 — National Police (Policía Nacional)
119 — Fire Brigade (Bomberos de Colombia)
125 — Ambulances (Ambulancias)
132 — Red Cross (Cruz Roja Colombiana)
144 — Civil Defence (Defensa Civil Colombiana)

123 reaches every service and is the line to call first. You do not need a local SIM card to dial it. Dispatchers work primarily in Spanish, so give your location first, then what has happened, then the service you need. The words ambulancia, policia and bomberos are understood clearly.

After a quake: check for injuries and structural damage, do not light matches or switch on lights if you smell gas, stay out of visibly damaged buildings, and stay alert to aftershocks. Do not try to pull people out of rubble yourself — it can cost more lives.

For official updates, follow the Servicio Geológico Colombiano (sgc.gov.co) on the earthquake and aftershocks, and the Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres (gestiondelriesgo.gov.co) on the emergency response. Please rely on official channels rather than forwarded messages, and keep the lines free unless you have an emergency to report.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected across the region, and with the emergency teams working right now.

Chronic inflammation is not always easy to recognize. Some people feel it as ongoing joint pain, swelling, stiffness or fatigue. Others have no clear symptoms at all while it continues quietly for years. Researchers now connect it to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and dementia.

The eleven habits in this carousel are the ones current research supports: steady sleep, moderate exercise, time outdoors, oral health, social connection, lower chemical exposure, and recovery practices such as infrared sauna and massage. Each one has been shown to move inflammatory markers in the right direction, and they work through repetition rather than intensity.

When inflammation persists despite those changes, regenerative medicine works inside the same process rather than around it. Mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes respond to the inflammatory signals already present in the tissue, and calming that signaling is their first action. Before any repair begins, they work to bring an overactive immune response back into balance. What patients tend to notice from there is the practical part: less pain, easier movement, and recovery returning to tissue that had stopped healing on its own.

The aim of stem cell therapy at Alevy is not to mask inflammation, but to help the body finish resolving it.

If your inflammation has not responded to lifestyle changes, send us a message and our team will talk you through your options.

What does the hyperbaric chamber actually do?

Inside the chamber, you breathe pure oxygen while the pressure around you is raised. Under those conditions your blood carries far more oxygen than it normally can, and it reaches tissue that limited circulation would otherwise leave underserved.

Repair depends on oxygen. New blood vessels, connective tissue, and immune activity all depend on a steady supply, and the areas that need it most are usually the areas receiving the least.

Our patients receive high-dose Wharton's jelly MSCs and the hyperbaric sessions support the conditions those cells depend on.

Jason came to Alevy when the pain had taken over his daily life. Walking a few steps meant having to stop and sit down.

He was managing it with medication and worrying about what long-term use was doing to his body.

After stem cell therapy, his pain reduced by 80%. He no longer relies on pain medication.

Do the type of stem cells used in your treatment matter?

Where stem cells come from determines how active they are, how your body responds to them, and how much therapeutic work they can actually do.

Bone marrow and adipose tissue are the most common sources used in clinics across the US. Both come from the patient. That means the cells carry the same age and biological history as the person receiving them.

Wharton's jelly MSCs come from umbilical cord tissue collected after healthy, full-term births. No risk to mother or baby. Because they come from newborn tissue, they are biologically younger, more active, and their quality does not decline based on the patient's age or health status.

At Alevy, that is the only source we use. Every batch is processed in our ISO-certified laboratory and tested for viability before any treatment is prepared.

Here's to the dads who show up — even when it costs them more than anyone else can see.

The ones who get down on the floor to play, even when their knees said not to. Who walked their daughter down the aisle and didn't let anyone notice what that walk took out of them. Who never missed a game, a recital, a Saturday morning and never once mentioned what it cost them to be there.

That kind of strength is quiet. But it does have a cost, and a lot of dads are carrying more of that cost than they let on.

This Father's Day, we want the dads in our lives to know: showing up and feeling their best don't have to be opposites. If pain or limitation has been making it harder to keep doing the things that matter, there can be another path forward.

Curious if regenerative therapy could help? Send us a message or check the link in our bio for a free consultation.

Stem cell therapy to help prevent:
🧠 Cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease
❤️ Arterial inflammation and cardiovascular disease
🦴 Bone loss and osteoporosis
⚗️ Hormonal failure and premature ovarian insufficiency
🔥 The chronic, systemic inflammation that connects all of the above

This is what a peer-reviewed study published in Stem Cell Research & Therapy (July 2025) documents across dozens of studies on mesenchymal stem cell therapy.

Prevention and intervention at the source.

Here's what the research found:
In Alzheimer's models, MSCs reduced toxic plaque buildup, stimulated new neuron growth, and restored cognitive function by repairing the brain's own signaling pathways.

In cardiovascular disease, MSCs inhibited plaque formation, repaired blood vessel walls, improved cholesterol profiles, and reduced the arterial inflammation that builds silently for decades.

In osteoporosis, MSC therapy increased bone density and restored the balance between bone formation and breakdown. This is confirmed across multiple studies and early clinical trials.

In premature ovarian failure, completed clinical trials showed measurable hormone restoration including resumed menstruation and documented pregnancies in patients who had lost ovarian function.

Umbilical cord-derived MSCs which are the foundation of our protocols at Alevy were specifically highlighted in this study for their high cell viability, low immune reaction risk, and suitability for systemic therapeutic use.

Aging well isn't just about looking younger or feeling better.

It's about protecting the systems that keep you alive and functioning before the damage becomes a diagnosis.
