![I JUST DID STEM CELL THERAPY: Was It Worth It? [2022]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ueIjgbZpoqA/mqdefault.jpg)
6 years ago I had stem cells extracted and reinjected into 4 disks in my lower back to re-inflate them. It was really successful and after 4 years I was getting tweeks so had them redone 2 years ago and haven't had any problem. I still workout and run with no issues.
That's awesome! Did you have imaging after the treatment that showed an increase in disc height?
dca+ LIAR..DISC DON'T REGENERATE, THEY HAVE NO BLOOD SUPPLY, I HAVE A SEVERELY HERNIATED DISC IN MY NECK SINCE 2015, I STILL LIFT WEIGHTS TIL THIS DAY, DAMAGED DISC GET BETTER BUT IT TAKES A LONG TIME, THAT'S WHAT YOU FELT, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STEM CELLS, JUST TIME MAKES IT BETTER, WON'T HEAL IT, BUT MAKE IT BETTER, DISC DONT HEAL ONCE THEY ARE DAMAGED
I need this. Where and who treated you?
@@nelsoncody5496 IT'S BS AND POTENTIALLY HARMFUL
@@nelsoncody5496My treatment was done as Dream Body Clinic: dreambody.clinic/
its a no brainer..I had stem cells placed both in my one shoulder and low back!!!! I now have full range of motion in my shoulder and my low back has no pain at all:)
Cool! Thanks for sharing. Curious What kind of cells did they use your own from your bone marrow or the Mesenchymal cells? What clinic did you go?
@@maxisworld9640 On my back i used my own stem cells...the shoulder it was the mesenchymal!
@@keithrichard391 oh nice thanks for the info.. where'd you go? Did they take the cells from your pelvic bone marrow?
That's awesome, Keith! So happy to hear about your great results and recovery!
Hello Keith, would you mind telling me where you got the stem cell therapy? Thank you.
Great job. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! This is so wonderful!
Thank you so much, F.T.!
Very cool. Thanks 🙏 for this information. I shared with my brother, a runner 🏃♀️ about this facility and your experience. It’s too bad our medical establishment haulted treatment in the states to help people with injuries.
Glad you enjoyed it, Bridget! Thanks for sharing!
Hi how is your sholder
I went on keto for 2 months & have been on a vegetarian diet for 2 years. I continued to exercise every day. All my arthritic knee & wrist pain went away. Cut sugar & processed food, incl. alcohol.
That's fantastic, pjcd1961! It's amazing what can happen when toxins are eliminated and lots of good stuff is coming in.
Wow - what did help you better ? Keto or vegetarian diet ?
Thank you for sharing this 😊 I'm doing the same but I smoke weed so that I can sleep. I don't think stem cells would work for me. It's not FDA approved.
There’s are different kinds of stem cells! The origin and how they’re kept makes a huge difference. Cryofreeze umbilical cord blood is what you want. Most of the clinics in medical tourism is not the same . Dr Joy Kong explains . She is 3 board certified and has her own stem cell co. And anti-aging . She is teaching Drs now .
@salwahigazi although, weed not FDA approved for sleep either.
Great video Doc!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it
Great information 🔥
Thanks so much, Erwin!
Thanks for the info.!
You're very welcome, Terri!
its so funny you interviewed a 58 yr old firefighter named Denise, I am also a 58 yr old firefighter namded Denise up in Canada with severe OA of both knees and just been referred for TKR of both, I have NO desire to go thru TKR and would love to try stem cell but its not approved in Canada yet. I will be looking into the dream body clinic for sure!
So glad that this video was helpful for you, Denise! BIG THANKS for your work as a 1st Responder!
I would recommend fasting to regenerate your stem cells. You reap 3X the benefits with dry fasting. Do some research.
You’re the man👍
Thanks Jaime! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, for sharing
Absolutely, Erwin! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for posting this video. I just recently completed a round of MSC (mesenchymal stem cell) IV exosomes for full-body tendon/connective tissue damage due to Cipro Toxicity. It's only been one month, but I can already tell I am healing. I had a shoulder labrum tear that had not been healing... just re-tearing every few days it seemed like. Within 10 days of taking the exosomes, the labrum is no longer tearing. Additionally, tendons all along my spine and shoulder girdles are healing! So thankful to live in the day of Regenerative Medicine (even though the FDA hasn't fully approved of it, yet.)
This is great news, Southern Saint! Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery!
Get a hold of some bpc-157. It's cheaper and does wonders for tendons and healing the gut lining.
@@-whackd I’ve considered adding BPC-157 to my regimen as I feel it could certainly help expedite healing. But it could never replicate what MSC exosomes do for all the cells in the body. Man, the human body is an amazing thing if you give it what it needs.
Amazing to hear buddy! Awesome!
I have cipro toxicity as well. I am not sure if I can afford the treatment. Did you do the MSC in PV? How much did it cost you? Thank you I appreciate any info you have. I am so broken and have been in dire pain for 5-6 years. I have no labrum mine broke off completely. BACK, knee, wrists, ankles. UGH
Also, good results are seen using photobiomodulation. Lowers risk and expense. Many docs are beginning to embrace non-invasive therapy.
Agreed! I'm a big fan of light therapy and have been using it clinically (and personally) for almost 18 years now.
There seem to be an increasing number of options even in this field. What photo bio modulation applications have you noticed works best compared with others? And do you think they differ by condition being treated ?
I've been looking into this for a few years (since meeting Bob Hariri, MD) and now I REALLY need it. But the stem cell sources are confusing. Can you shed any light on what they're using at the Stem Cell Institute Panama v. Dream Body Clinic v. American clinics (which seem to typically take stem cells from the patient).
Yes Kristine, it can be very confusing. I have two other videos that go into detail on those subjects and I would encourage you to watch them. Here are the links: ruclips.net/video/lp65NY9Y_N0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/J9tvvM5KNC4/видео.html
I just got stem cells in my knee 2 days ago. Most of my swelling is down and I hope I can get some good results as well.
That's terrific, Darren! I wish you a speedy recovery!
In or out of the US ? Allogenic or Autogolous ? For what knee condition ?
Thanks in advance !
My orthopedic read report and said it almost returns joint to new. He did PLP and HGH on his elbows and was extremely happy with results. I plan on doing this too.
Nice@@jackkennedy9475! I love hearing these kinds of success stories!
@@mtease9247 I wrote an eBook that answers all of those questions and you can get it for free here - painfixprotocol.com/stem-cell-mistakes-ebook/
Thank you for sharing this info…
I have a question… where did you hear of the Dreambody clinic and if you’ve found any forums where people discuss stem cell therapy clinics in Mexico ? If you have found any forums for discussion and names of clinics if you wouldn’t mind posting them ?
Much appreciation 🙏🏼😊
I hope this question gets a reply, I am keen on if he looked into other clinics, why this one? Did not realize so many in Mexico….
@@alisonvandusen7015 reason it's in Mexico is like (almost) everything else in the medical field, that being COST! It appears that doctors there are more into just making a good living caring for other humans as opposed to just fattening their gold storage by overcharging for procedures. I have, in my many years, only ONE DOCTOR in the U.S.A. who told me if I could not afford to pay for the treatment he would still do it at no charge. I nearly fainted when I heard that. He was a cardiologist, and I wish he had been a general practitioner. God bless him!
Great question, Lisa T. I originally heard about Dream Body Clinic from a friend of mine. I had spoken with a few clinics in the United States (in Las Vegas & San Diego) and two others abroad. After speaking with people and attending presentations at these places, I made the choice to go with Dream Body because their knowledge of the science and explanation of clinical procedures resonated with what I was looking for. I am not aware of any forum or website that lists all the clinics in Mexico.
Yes, Alison - There are lots of clinics in Mexico the offer stem cell therapy. however, it's my understanding that fully licensed clinics are not that common.
That's a beautiful story, John. Sounds like your doctor has a heart of gold! In this case, the reason the clinic is in Mexico is because with proper authorization & licensing stem cells can be cultured and expanded in Mexico. Whereas in the US, that is not possible due to regulations.
Stem cell therapy is awesome and this clip seems like more of an advertisement than a review. I know it's a short video, but I kind of expected that since you have "Is it Worth It?" in the title, that you would talk about costs ... or at least range of costs. Of course, affordability is relative, but if you'd have added maybe 2-3 minutes to your "Is It Worth It?" video some folks might conclude that they'll never be able to afford it. I remember watching a 2018 Joe Rogan episode that featured Mel Gibson talking about having taken his 92-year old father to Panama for stem cell therapy. It was "worth it" to Mel's dad. If I was more financially "healed", I would have started stem cell therapy 20+ years ago. I'm only pushing 77-years old and suffering pain in every degenerating joint. It's "worth it" for me to learn about the benefits of this therapy because it makes me happy for those who've received it. It really does give me hope. I'll always have the hope ... just not the money.
I just checked out the Dream Body Clinic and they have their prices listed on the website i.e. wrist stem cell treatment is USD$2,000. And like you said, the question "Is it worth it?" is subjective to each individual. 🤓
@@Celosian01 there are also natural ways of regenerating stem cells. I imagine that people who resort to clinics are in dire straits looking for a quick fix, but if we just pay attention to the language of our bodies and follow holistic recommendations we can at least prevent having to go to such desperate measures.
Im 43 years old and have multiple sclerosis for the past twenty years lol I never got a chance to do anything in life and this treatment is also to expensive for me
I understand, John. The reason I didn't go into cost is because it varies widely from one procedure to the next depending on the number of cells received and how involved the actual procedure is. My hope is that with increased awareness and demand for these procedures, there will be increased interest - more options for providers and lower costs as well as options for coverage by managed care .
@@painfixprotocol I just curious how much you paid in total, then I can a rough number in my mind for this treatment.
I healed my enlarged heart with stem cells. I have more work to do but my health and life are amazing and I'm forever grateful.
That's amazing, David! Thank you so much for sharing!
I am glad you are doing great, I am looking for stems cels tritment for my 6 year old granddaughter for diabetic 1, so my daughter having baby in January she wuld like to save abilacol cord blood to give tritment for her daughter with diabetes 1,can't find Dr who wuld do that tritment, do you know any referral Dr,they live in Colorado springs Colorado, or any one also can give us suggestions, thanks and God bless ,Brenda
Hello Brenda,
My recommendation, considering where they're located would be to reach out to Utah Cord Bank - www.utahcordbank.com/
Hlo Dr i saw your video it wss really helpful, after an injury I had a surgery for ganglion cyst removal in my right wrist after 1 year it came again (synovial fluid lump) u think stem cell therapy can help to heal my wrist completely cause i m in too much pain
I'm so glad the video helped! In the case of a ganglion cyst, I don't know if stem cells would be helpful in correcting the problem.
I was wondering if you would make another updated video of how you’re feeling with your stem cell treatment in the next few months or so ?
Thanks for asking, Lisa. I'm still feeling great! My strength and muscle mass have steadily increased in the time since this video was published. Overall, I'm super happy with my results.
@@painfixprotocol thanks for the feedback 😊🙏🏼
I got stem cells at this clinic March of 2022. My knee pain (mild Osteo Arthritis ) went away for about 6-8 months. Pain is back
Sorry to hear that, Bob. Do you know how many stem cells (and what type of cells) were used for your treatment?
I heard about stem cell therapy for hair loss but i need to do research on it.
My understanding is that stem cell therapy can help in the very early stages of hair loss. But for late stage hair loss, you're better off looking into other options.
@@painfixprotocol Oh ok thanks, that’s good to know. Do you know of it can improve a hair transplant done a year earlier?
Would stem cell therapy work for a sports hernia, or have you heard any positive results when injecting stem cells into torn tendons from a sports hernia? I know sports hernia varies in its definition, but a for mine it is a partial tear of the common adductor tendon & rectus abdominus tendon at the pelvic bone. Not a full tear and not detached from the pelvic bone.
Stem cell therapy is one of the better options currently available for tendon injuries. Here's a really interesting paper that talks all about that: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4685888/
I used stem cells on my double inguinal hernia. When they presented I was among the lucky, for once, as they were not painful.
they were reduced in size considerably, and have continued to give me no trouble as I returned to maximum activity.
It's been about 18 months and I still feel that they are getting smaller but I will not have them imaged again unless I don't see a bulge for at least one month.
I'm hoping I can get there but they did get smaller and continue to be a non-factor; other than their existence.
I am planning to get stem cell within the next few months. Wondering which clinic is best; dream body, there’s one @ Panama and R3 Mexico.
Great question! There are several clinics out there that have a really good reputation. Which is "best" will be determined by what issue or issues a person has and whether or not they match up with the offerings at that particular clinic.
I have multiple sclerosis and am hoping to get this treatment done soon
I went to Panama for the same reason
It helped for a little bit
But I started losing feeling in my left leg
It was like $36,000
If I had to do it again I’d lean on pass
That’s my opinion
I wish you good luck
@@katastrafika5253 it doesn’t effect every one the same hoping it will be better for me it’s my only hope
@@katastrafika5253 I’ve started to regulate my immune system and slow the progression with diet and lifestyle changes hope you can find healing/hug praying for us
Bravo Bing! With a soild foundation of nutrition and lifestyle under your belt, you dramatically increase your odds for a successful outcome! Wishing you an awesome result!
@@painfixprotocol thank you for your work every thing helps
Thank you for your video Dr. Yoni...you inspired me to travel to Dream Body Clinic and I had the same procedure you had done to my right ankle (I'm 37 years old and never healed properly from ankle sprains). I decided to try the procedure because my pain was pretty bad after significant exercise (tennis and/or jogging) but I didn't have pain while walking. Since the procedure 3 weeks ago I've had a lot of pain (and burning sensations) in my ankle from just walking around...I'm just wondering if you've heard of other cases where the pain gets much worse before it gets any better? At this point I'm just hoping my pain returns to pre-procedure levels to be honest.
Are you still feeling pain?
@@lidiyayakutilova3791yes. The pain is worse than ever. The procedure was a total mistake
I'm sorry to hear about your pain! I have not heard of cases where the pain gets much worse before getting better. Certainly, some people experience things like inflammation, swelling, soreness and muscle spasms after stem cell therapy and these considered "normal side effects". This article does a good job outlining the safety profile and risk of adverse events: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8445610/
What are the price points for the various treatment options that you sought. Thank you for your information!
50 million MSCc + PRP in the shoulder cost $3,000 and 25 million MSCc in the ankle cost $2,000.
Dream Body Clinic posts all treatment prices on their website - dreambody.clinic/
Thanks for this info!!
You're most welcome@@rafaelmolina6682
What is your recommendation on where it should be performed. There is a famous clinic in Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. I am searching for its name.
If you guys also name the clinic, surgeon, procedure type, cost, country performed, that would be veey helpful
There are reputable clinics in many places. I think it's good to consult with multiple clinics, ask lots of questions, ask for references. I went to Dream Body Clinic - in Puerto Vallarta - for my treatment and I am very pleased with the work they did. dreambody.clinic/
Do you sign up and go there are do I get X-rays done and email copies of them to the Doctor. Also is the price agreed on before the procedure and how is the payment made, cash, credit card? Wonder about the language barrier also. Tks for any extra information.
All prices are clearly listed on the Dream Body Clinic - dreambody.clinic/
The clinic is owned by an American and the staff is bilingual so speaking English is no problem whatsoever.
Imaging studies, included in the price and are performed prior to treatment.
To the lady that had stage 4 arthritic knee you give me hope ! I had a very successful autogulous stem cell procedure in 2014 with no joint space left at age 54. It took time but great ! I worked on my feet in healthcare for 30 yrs. But now my right needs it .. end stage arthritis but wondering if allogenic MSC’s would work well ? Were the stem cells that you received your own ? Meaning we’re they autogolous? Or were they allogenic umbilical cord MSC’s ???
I'm so happy to hear about the great results from your treatment, mtease9247! Denise's story is very inspiring and it's giving a lot of people hope. The cells that I received were allogenic - MSCs derived from umbilical cord/placenta from a healthy live birth.
Is this treatment not available in the US? My understanding is that Regenx has multiple locations doing stem cell injections along with PRP which is widely available and something that helped my shoulder
Stem cell therapy is available in the US but, there are lots of restrictions & limitations on what they can do. I cover this topic in detail in my eBook - painfixprotocol.com/stem-cell-mistakes-ebook/
Can it be used for a damaged sciatic nerve on the left hip, did it hauling shingles up a ladder.
Good question, Harry! Stem cell therapy can be very effective for nerve pain and neuropathic conditions. I would recommend reaching out to the clinic directly to see if you are a good candidate for treatment.
Clearly, it sounds like this is working for many people but isn't it accepted by the FDA? Mayo Clinic says "Only a few limited early studies have demonstrated improvement in new cartilage or bone formation needed to cure arthritis. Exactly how that cartilage regrowth occurs, or even how pain relief is achieved, is still unknown".
Thanks for commenting! I agree that more research is needed. However, the truth is that the US is way behind the power curve when it comes to Stem Cell Therapy - there were crippling restrictions in place in the US for far too long that prevented the exact research that we need which is why other counties are so far ahead of us with regard to regenerative medicine.
Excellent information but why no mention of cost? No bueno.
So glad you enjoyed it! The cost of stem cell therapy varies widely depending on the type of treatment you're receiving - Region of the body, level of involvement of the procedure itself & the number of cells you're getting all factor into this. In my case, the 50 million MSCs + PRP to my shoulder cost $3,000 and the 25 million MSCs to my ankle cost $2,000.

Thank you for th his info.
There's a lack of range of motion on my right arm can't get it all the way to the lower back as fluidly as my left arm. Problem seems to be in the right shoulder scapula due to an injury from bench press. Where you think I can get an injection on stem cells to reduce it? Been taken collagen that lessened the pain at least.
Good question, Joe. While stem cells are a great tool for some jobs, they are definitely not a "cure-all". The first step, is to get an accurate diagnosis for shoulder and determine whether or not it is the type of problem where stem cell therapy could help.
Thank you.
You're welcome, relleknoj! Glad you enjoyed it!
Where do they get the stem cells?
Great question! The MSCs used for my treatment were harvested from the umbilical cord & placenta following a healthy, live birth. It's a great use for tissues that are normally discarded as "medical waste."
Is there any help for someone with bone on bone knee pain? Thank you.
As long as there's still some cartilage present inside the joint, stem cell therapy can be helpful.
I’ve had two spinal surgeries for stenosis and have significant pain and some numbness in my back and legs, how would this treatment help?
Good question, Ryan. Given the surgical history and unique nature of your condition, I would encourage you to reach out to the clinic directly to find out if you are a good candidate for treatment.
Hi Doc. im so glad it worked for you. Do think it works for si joint degeneration and facet hypertrophy. Ive had prolotherapy and prp with my last 3rd injection 2 weeks ago. Im not sure if its worked yet😢 i still have a little discomfort.
Thank you! I've seen really good results over and over again with lots of different degenerative joint conditions. I hope your results continue to get better!
Hi Dr. Whitten....First of all, I love your clinical advice...it's spot-on!!! Secondly, what are your thoughts and recommendations on nutritional supplementation to maintain wellness after your therapy, in addition, are you open to receive new cutting-edge information on maintaining our own stem cell health?
Also is there any difference in effectiveness between Amniotic stem cells and stem cells harvested from your own bone marrow? And does PRP need to be done with either of the stem cell injections for effectiveness?
Great question! Yes, there are some differences between those procedures and I cover them in detail in my eBook - painfixprotocol.com/stem-cell-mistakes-ebook/
@@painfixprotocolThank you for you reply and sharing the e-book and article. So I just read the e-book and it doesn't mention anything regarding amniotic stem cells. I see umbilical cord stem cells. But I've read online that those are still two different types of stem cells (similar but still different). Do you know if there are any studies showing is umbilical or amniotic is more effect? I could not find any information comparing those two.
You're welcome,@@ckeena2. According to this 2018 paper: "...the origin of MSCs derived from all sources (Amniotic Membrane, Chorionic Plate, Decidua Parietalis and Umbilical Cord) of the placenta have not been determined, and there is a lack of comprehensive comparisons between MSCs." www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-23396-1/
@@painfixprotocol Thank you for sharing that as well. From reading reading the article, the differentiation documented from the two are: 1) Proliferation Rate: UC- MSCs rate is faster than that of AM-USCs. 2) UC-MSCs undergo trilineage differentiation at a higher level compared to AM-MSCs 3) US-MSCs secrete higher levels & a wider range of paracrine factors (possibly making it able to treat other diseases). It was a bit over my head, but if I'm understanding any of it at all, it appears Umbilical stem cells are the better option of the two?
I've been looking into themselves and have several Therapies in the last few years
❤ there's such a big difference between PRP which uses your cells and getting day-old cells
Which will have more Vitality the cells of a sixty-year-old man with the cells from a one-day-old
1 of my friends got 2 times a ADSC MSC +BPM2 treatment for his knee osteoarthritis(already got pain in his knee). That was 7 and 4 years ago respectively. Just spoke with him recently. He is fine. He does bodybuilding, leg workouts and Muay Thai. So kicking extensively. He is all good and symptom free. The key here is the added BPM2 protein! Although it comes with risks! But living pain free is awesome!
ADSC MSC you have to do every 3-4 years.
You can do Platelet Rich Fibrin injections as a maintenance every 6 Months, as it is anabolic, anti-catabolic and decreases inflammation in the synovium and in the joint in general!
That's fantastic, Tib! Thanks for sharing! I love hearing these types of success stories!
@@painfixprotocol Now there is something new called PODS BMP2. It's a slow, over 8 weeks absorbing BMP2. You can mix it into PRF or ADSC Intraarticular-Injections for cartilage growth!
I have what i believe is nerve pain in my ankle from an overuse injury. Would something like this help that type of damage?
Great question, Sean! For overuse injuries, I don't know that there's anything better than stem cell therapy combined with a solid rehabilitation program and high-quality nutrition.
@@painfixprotocol Would stem cell therapy help with ingunial hernia?
How does it work with herniated disc is that an injury that it'll work on my wife is struggling badly with no answers from anybody were willing to do just about anything we can to get her some relief
Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about your wife. This paper from 2022 talks all about the potential upside and limitations with using stem cell therapy for disc herniations: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8870062/
Can you post before and after mri imagines of the torn area?
Thanks for asking! In this instance, I didn't get a post treatment MRI. As I stated in the video that rotator cuff tear happened back in 2007. What showed on the MRI 15 years later was some scar tissue inflammation & swelling in the area. So long after the injury there just wasn't much left to see in terms of structural damage - so a post-MRI was not warranted.
Could you please give people a general idea of how much treatments realistically cost? I've had cadaver bone and prp placed into a tooth socket for a future titanium implant, and I believe the dentist charges me $550 for the donor bone, and unsure how much the PRP cost, but they drew the blood, and prepared the prp right there while I was getting my tooth hauled out. I'm thinking I would love to have my lower back looked at, a knuckle on my right hand, and a right toe joint, also. I'm 61 and nearing retirement, and want to finally be pain free if possible.
Thanks for asking. The cost of stem cell therapy can vary widely depending on which clinic you go to, the number of cells you receive and the type of cells (ie the origin) and method of harvest.

Of course i cannot afford for stem cell. I'm from Indonesia. The medical expert here cannot check it even with MRI. I'm really want to sharing my complete experience with u if u would. Thanks Dr. Yoni
So sorry to hear of your injury! I would strongly recommend seeing a qualified practitioner in your area.
Hi doctor, how long did it take you to feel any kind of improvement? It’s been 2.5 weeks for me and I haven’t noticed anything yet. Thanks
For me, it took a few months before I became aware of any changes.
So it's been 4 months now, did it work?
Did they change locations from Puerto Vallarta? They’re website says another city
Dream Body has indeed moved to a beautiful new clinic. It's located in Bucerias (about 20 minutes north of their previous location).
Now there is something new called PODS BMP2. It's a slow, over 8 weeks absorbing BMP2 (protein). You can mix it into PRF or ADSC Intraarticular-Injections for cartilage growth! The key here is the slow absorption!
Very interesting, Tib! Thank you for sharing.
Wow where can I find more info on PODS BMP2.
Hi Sir,
Thank you very much for such a detailed and helpful video.
Have you heard success in Stem Cells healing Neuropathy?
I am going to The Stem Cell Institute in Panama or BioExcelorator in Columbia in May to get the IV. I eat perfectly, all organic, never smoked, dont drink, intermittent fast (one hour eating window) drink distilled water, only use Thorne Vitamins. I have done 60 HBOT dives at 2ATA. All thats left is the Stem Cells to stop or hopefully reverse Neuropathy. What do you think?
What is the name of your Chiropractic clinic and location?
Thank you again.
Very respectfully,
Erik Petroni
You're welcome, Erik!
There's quite a bit of research on using stem cells to treat neuropathy.
Just specify what type of neuropathy you're referring to and I will send some links.
Very good info doc. Question, have you looked into CPI clinic in Tijuana? How are their stem cells compared to these? Their price is much much more expensive. Definitely there is a premium Im sure due to all the celebrities that go there….your thoughts on this?
So glad you enjoyed the video, Roberto!
I have looked at CPI superficially - I have not visited the clinic. Not really sure why the treatments they offer are so much more expensive than other reputable clinics in Mexico. I suspect it has something to do with the proximity to the US.
Very interesting and so glad it helped you Yoni! Do you know if it could be used/helpful on a knee replacement? I’m 5 months post op and still having significant pain at times and having to use cane/crutches although can put full weight on leg.
I am a 66y/o Triple boarded Interventional Pain management Anesthesiologist that practices in my own independent clinic in the Kansas City area. I can tell you that the pain source not addressed by your surgery is the ligament instability of the joint and the nerves that supply that area. Knee pain is not just a simple joint cartilage that is worn out. Plenty of people walk around with "bone on bone" conditions and have no pain. I have addressed this in many of my patients with TKR's by doing PRP followed by 10% dextrose prolotherapy injections under ultrasound to the periarticular ligaments to cause the nerves to calm (they are living tissue too) and over time, tighten down and stabilize the joint.
@@paincare6577 it’s so interesting that you’d mention ligament instability because just earlier today I was wondering if it had something to do with not so much my knee, but the muscle issues I’ve had. I do have some joint hyper mobility, not to the extent of EDS but for instance I can touch my thumb to arm and easily touch floor with hand. I had this TKR only because I broke my femur and after it healed, could not come off of that leg after standing on it awhile without feeling much stiffness and muscle (or ligament?) pain in that leg. Doc looked at my knee x-rays from a couple years ago (I have had 6 previous knee ops decades ago) and the x-Ray did look very bad and he suggested I get it replaced to see if that helped this other pain as it “all works together.” It has helped that but the past 4 months I’ve had bad muscle spasms in quadriceps to the point almost fell several times. It’s no longer going into those bad spasms but does “catch” in various places and it seems to be when the leg is going into extension - it’s almost totally halted knee rehab other than I can do straight leg raises with weights. I was doing step ups until this started, so it hasn’t always been a problem, just past 4 months. I see the surgeon for one year visit next week so will tell him what you said. At 7 weeks had a manipulation under anesthesia for 70 degree flexion and although he barely had to push to undo scar tissue, my muscles were so painful afterwards, and black, I was 50 flexion by end of week. Worked so hard to get it back which I did, but dang, these muscles have been the bane of my recovery. Thanks so much for your reply! Oh, and my knee didn’t hurt all that much as one would think seeing x-Ray, so totally relate to your saying there can be bone on bone with no or in my case, little pain. This new knee as of now gives me more problems than the old one, but I’m hopeful in time I’ll be glad I did it.
Apologies for the delayed response, Candleflower! I am sorry to hear about your struggles. I would encourage you to speak directly to experts at Dreambody to see if there's anything they can do to speed your recovery along.
@@painfixprotocol Thanks Yoni, I will certainly keep it in mind if this drags on much longer - see surgeon tomorrow. After breaking the femur thought a TKR would be a piece of cake - ha.

What was the cost range for your shoulder treatments?
Has anyone had success with healing bilateral hip tendonitis? I have struggled for 7 years and have already had PRP injections with no resolution. Totally plant-based and no dairy as well which has helped, but I still with pain that limits my workouts. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Stem cell therapy can be extremely helpful for tendon and ligament issues! However, the most important thing with a chronic problem like tendonitis is identifying and eliminating the cause would be essential. Physical medicine (with activity modification) is also highly effective for tendonitis - if you haven't already, I would strongly suggest seeking out a qualified rehab professional in your area.
Hi i am 19 years old and i saw that my left knee is bender towards right knee and then i went to doctor , he did x ray and all indetified that my cartilage is short in left knee . Pkease tell me and help me
Stem cell therapy has proven to be effective in cases like yours. However, it would also be important to determine the cause of the left knee issue. Is there a history of injury? Is there some biomechanical problem at the feet and/or pelvis. Ideally those issues would be identified & corrected before doing anything else.
Hi Doc, I had a question, they had stem cells for dental but Im worndering if stem cell works in the masseter muscle to alleviate pain? It messses up my bite whenever I need to get work bc that tooth is crowned and Id be really into this because that joint is always irritated and in pain. Thank you.
Good question. It doesn't sound like a good fit for stem cell therapy. Fixing any bite issues and dental problems you have would be a much better place to start. Once those are corrected, see where you stand with the masseter.
Does stem cell therapy work on torn meniscus due to an ACL tear?
Also, would it help to heal the ACL tear along with the torn meniscus?
Yes, Alok! On there are some very impressive MRI scans - before & after treatment - on Dream Body Clinic's website showing what's possible with meniscus damage.
I have this! Happened to me while pulling a ladder out from my F250 before my first job and I heard a pop in my knee. I then hopped out my truck because it was so high and my knee buckled and sprained my knee. This happened on May 8th. Received physical therapy from Workman’s Comp. Ankle healed but my knee is still bugging me. I quit June 26th 4 days after my grandfather passing. It’s now 8/1/2023 and still not recovered. No insurance
What stem cells were used ... placenta dirived blood and tissue ...as Dr Joy Kong protocol ....or your stem cells ... marrow or fat .... thanks
Great question, Judy! I received mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord/placenta tissue - which underwent cultured expansion in a laboratory.
Love this video! Where can I get stem cells treatment in Europe? Thanks in advance 🙌
So glad you enjoyed it! I believe stem cell therapy is available in Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Poland, Lithuania and others. However, I am not well versed in the legalities and differences in what types of treatments are available in these locations.
ANyone know anything bout cervical spine injections and what's the most effective treatment? how many cells, cost per treatment, umbilical cord, adipose, bone marrow? I have neck issues, no pain at all thank God, but weak grips, weak hamstrings
Regenerative medicine is a relatively new field and I don't know that the "most effective" treatment has been established. Clinics in different parts of the world do things very differently - a treatment in the US or Canada looks nothing like a treatment in Mexico or Central America - in terms of the type of cells, the source of the cells and the cost. I recommend getting multiple opinions on your condition from several clinics. Ask what they can do for you and ask for references for other people that have had the same procedure.
What did it cost to go down to Mexico? Have you tried Lifewave?
Great questions, Bob! Since I was flying from Southern California, airfare was not expensive - just a couple hundred dollars. The clinic itself is located in an area that offers a wide range of accommodations in terms of comfort & price. I am not familiar with Lifewave.
I have suffered from Cervicogenic headaches for 10 years - I tried Stem cel injections (my stem cels) into the neck and back (it was quite painful)- It has been 4 months with no relief at all - the headaches are now chronic... Please advise any suggestions you might have
Sorry to hear that. Without knowing exactly what the issue is in your neck it's difficult to say. However, cervicogenic headaches very often have a structural (posture) component and a functional (mechanical) component. Stem cells are not the right tool for dealing with either of those. I would recommend seeing a qualified practitioner in your area who is expert in rehabilitation of the neck.
PRP you mentioned is different from regular stem cell therapy pls explain
Yes. PRP is Platelet Rich Plasma - it is used to support tissue healing especially in regions of the body with limited blood supply. There's a thorough explanation in this article: www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/plateletrich-plasma-prp-treatment
Would this help with tendinosis (degeneration) in a rotator cuff tendon? Not to be mistaken with tendonitis which is inflammation. I'd be interested in your thoughts.
This type of treatment used in combination with a well-designed rehab program is, in my opinion, the gold standard for optimal recovery at this point in time.
How about for your eyes and knees
Thanks for asking, Paul! We cover both of those topics in this video: ruclips.net/video/lp65NY9Y_N0/видео.html
Hi Doctor, was it a cultivated stem cells or stem cells from your own bone marrow? i was offered stem cells therapy cultured from lab 200mil cells from south east asia and not from my own bone marrow. is this the same treatment?
The cells I received were harvested from umbilical cord/placenta following a healthy live birth. They were then cultured and the numbers were expanded in a laboratory.
Is it useful for the cervical spine..c6 , c7 nerve impingement
It's very possible. The best thing to do would be to consult with an expert in stem cell therapy to determine if it's a good fit for you.
Hi. I just had stem cell treatment done for my left shoulder in the states using my own bone marrow. I have been researching Bioxcellerator down in Colombia for a few months now. But I am a bit skeptical about the treatments and the cost is pretty high. Hoping my own stem cells do the trick. But next option will be to go outside US.
I hope your treatment is very helpful for you! Can I ask - how was the experience of the bone marrow aspiration? Did the clinic tell you about how stem cells you received?
@@painfixprotocol the bone marrow experience was not bad at all. A little bit of pressure in the bone but minimal pain and it was done on both sides. I don’t know how much stem cells were injected back but that’s a great question. It’s been a week and I still have some pain in shoulder joint. Starting physical therapy next week. Really hoping it works, I have been dealing with neck issues and shoulder issues for 3.5 years now! I used to be super active, running, zip lining, working out and now I can’t do much with my upper body! Frustrating!
I completely understand@@fmcia2. Thanks a lot for sharing! I'm happy to hear the bone marrow aspiration wasn't bad for you. Yes, there can be some inflammation in the first few weeks after a treatment - from what I understand that's very common. I hope your PT goes well and you have an great result!
@@fmcia2Keep us posted. Which clinic is that if you don't mind sharing?
@@gskyle4822 it was done at Regenexx down in Sarasota FL
I’d like some info please - is this something that can recover older knees to function a bit better? (My age: 49)
I’ve been hectically into martial arts for most of my life and I think my knees and hips have taken their toll. I’ve heard good things about stem cell injections and I know they’re expensive. But would that help me in recovery of my worn down joints?
Thanks for asking! Here's a link to the complete interview with Denise who had remarkable results in her badly degenerated knees using stem cell therapy - ruclips.net/video/0Z9w7Yia3go/видео.html
So you had the Stem Cell injection AND PRP injection at the exact same time? And you had both the shoulder and ankle injected in the same appointment?
I had Stem cell therapy in both my shoulder and ankle during the same visit. PRP was added to the shoulder injection.
Are the stem cell treatments available in the U.S. effective ?
Thanks for asking! That topic is covered in detail here: ruclips.net/video/lp65NY9Y_N0/видео.html
The way you describe the procedure (IV), does that mean that one treatment may address many issues at once? Thus, even if 25% improvement on some and more on other issues, then it seems like a no brainer for soeone with some knee pain and shoulder, and some low back, neither being debilitating but the combination is significant.
This is a really good question! The answer is yes and no. An IV treatment will go systemic and affect the entire body. However, synovial joints don't have much of a blood supply (in adults) and so, getting the best results in the tissues inside of a joint requires direct injection.
Thanks for answering. Another question,
Do they test for HIV and Hepatitis C, or is it that they use 100% your own?
Second, what can u say on the comparison of your own vs umbilical cord?
By the way, i had PRP for my TE, signififcant and it did zero improvemnet, 2 yrs later surgery 90% at 9 months out.
Im curious because i wonder if stem cell, and PRP, would be a no brainer to add to shoulder surgery, and TE surgery which has proven to not be 100%.
That last 15% after the re attach of the LE, sounds like it could use at least PRP early.
Yes. Donor cells undergo extensive test before they can be cultured.
I talk about that in this video - ruclips.net/video/vBRXeRpiUZQ/видео.html
As for umbilical versus using your own, it's a very important question and the answer is in this video - ruclips.net/video/95t1sEAxuRA/видео.html

According to a recent paper: "...robust evidences that clinical outcomes such as pain and function were improved after the application of intra-articular MSCs. However, in randomized controlled trials, there were controversial results in clinical outcomes."

Wondering if anybody could help me with this question…
My wife suffered a tibia plateau fracture requiring 4 screws and a plate.
Would stem cell therapy benefit such a severe injury?
Great question!
I know that some of the top orthopedic surgeons in the US are now using stem cells immediately after certain operations to enhance recovery and improve results.
It's very possible that such a thing might also benefit your wife - my recommendation is to speak to the experts at a reputable clinic.
THIS ALL SOUNDS GREAT!!! NOW TELL US THE COST?
Glad you enjoyed it! The cost depends on the type of treatment you're receiving - Region of the body, level of involvement of the procedure itself & the number of cells you're getting all factor into this. In my case, the 50 million MSCs + PRP to my shoulder cost $3,000 and the 25 million MSCs to my ankle cost $2,000.
At QC Kinetics cost is $8,000 for one body part $4,000 for every other body part (for me 2 shoulders and one knee $16,000). I will do it. Cost essentially means nothing if I have full or nearly full functionality.

Retired 75-year-old with a worn knee meniscus is not bone on bone. How much does this procedure cost and what can go wrong? Since these stem cells come from other persons is there a risk of rejection or cancer?
Thanks for asking, George! The cost of a knee treatment can vary depending on which clinic you go to, how many stem cells they use and the type of cells (method of harvest). At Dream Body Clinic - they clearly list all treatment costs on their website. The knee treatment includes 50 million allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) - derived from umbilical & placental tissues following a healthy, live birth.
And because they come from umbilical & placental tissues there is zero risk of rejection because MSCs taken from these tissue have no host markers.

Why travel to Mexico? There are clinics in the US that offer stem cell injections and also prp injections
Great question! Ultimately, I decided on Mexico for several reasons: 1) The number of MSCs delivered at treatment is 100's of times greater 2) Latin America is way ahead of the US in terms of stem cell therapy (because there was legislation in place for so long that made stem cells inaccessible). 3) The cost for treatment is much lower
