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.
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 .
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.
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
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:)
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!
Greetings and wow i am happy to know about the advances being made and i actually had been advised not to get a knee replacement when I retired in 2017 as the doc strongly encouraged me to wait although he did tell me that if i did get an umbilical cord stem cell injection it might help which i did although it was expensive and i had money at the time but he said he was sure advances would make getting a fake knee unnecessary. Well those stem cells did help at the time but now I am unable to tell i had any treatment as I seem to be back to square one. I also have mild essential tremors that i hope to find treatments and btw I’ve had about 16 HBOT treatments at mostly 2.0-ATA pressure as you know those are expensive. I respectfully request a consultation. I have become well versed in the science. Respectfully
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.)
@@-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.
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
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 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!
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
No disclosure as to whether Dr Whitten got a discounted or free DreamBody treatment? Sounds like an advert for Dream Body. Glad to hear of the two cases of improvement.
Thanks for inquiring, Sally. I paid for my own treatment and I receive no payment or compensation from Dream Body Clinic. Simply sharing my experience.
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 ?
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.
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.
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.
Great question, Judy! I received mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord/placenta tissue - which underwent cultured expansion in a laboratory.
The cost varies depending on: 1) The region of the body you're treating 2) The source of your cells 3) How many cells you're getting 4) How involved the procedure is. 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. Unfortunately, regenerative medical procedures are not yet covered by insurance or Medicare.
@@painfixprotocolI'm having a similar issue. I did PRP. My last round of injections was a year and a half ago. I'm not sure how many cells were used. Is this the only option when it comes to stem cell therapy?
From what I understand Bandana, the success rates with joint degeneration are very good. But because there are different kinds of arthritis, I would encourage you to reach out to the clinic directly with your questions.
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/
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!
@@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!
Dr. Yoni... i really noticed at time 5.31. You said snowboarding injury. i know how it really feels bro. it was like muscle thread / fiber push it away until the proper point. it also brings the nerve so we can feel it. i am healing my muscle tear with a lot of challenging to find the right food pattern / diet. i consuming bcaa, l-lysine, vit d and so on. 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
Hi Dr Whitten, why did you choose Dream Body? My L4 and L5 look similar and I have pain everyday and looking at stem cell. I spoke to the physicians at Eterna that do treatments in Cabo. Trying to navigate which clinics are the best option for me.
I did consultations with multiple clinics and ended up going with the clinic that best explained the science of stem cells, the procedure & how to get the most out of a stem cell treatment.
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. I have not looked into clinics in Asia, so I an unable to make any recommendations.
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.
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.
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.
It is available in the US. However, there are certain restrictions and it's use is limited. I wrote an eBook that talks all about this and you can get it here for free - painfixprotocol.com/stem-cell-mistakes-ebook/
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.
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 .
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.
Sample of one research? Would have been nice to see your MRI's before and after as well as hers with some explanations of the changes. I don't believe what I can't see.
Thanks for your comment, Sebastian. I'm not sure what gave you the impression that this was "research" - it is simply me sharing my first experience with stem cell therapy. But, I agree with you that before and after MRI's are very nice to see and so I did that for another treatment I received. Here's the video - ruclips.net/video/mszDnVY1IQc/видео.html
My question is simple. My L4-L5 disc has degenerated. I have stenosis in the same area. I've already spoken with the CPI institute in Mexico and they gave me a price on 25k for the week down there. Will this actually regenerate and fix the problem? Or just buy me alittle time?
It's a good question, Robert. Unfortunately, without much more information, I cannot say. What I can do is show you the results from my treatment - in this video: ruclips.net/video/mszDnVY1IQc/видео.html And also suggest that you consult with one or two more reputable clinics before making your decision.
Thanks for asking! I would recommend reading what the Lupus Foundation of America has to say about it: www.lupus.org/news/stem-cell-therapy-shows-early-promise-for-the-treatment-of-lupus
Good question, Benji! I'm not sure about stem cell therapy with stroke. I would reach out to the clinic directly to find out if you're a good candidate for treatment and what they recommend.
Great question! Stem cells can be very helpful with post surgical pain. The various applications of stem cell therapy are discussed in detail in this video - ruclips.net/video/J9tvvM5KNC4/видео.html
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
Good question, Miguel! The stem cells 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 typically discarded as "medical waste."
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.

Will stem cell therapy heal my damage cartilage in my shoulder and elbows??? wish it was available in my country and that I can afford it. I have very, very, very serious injuries in both my shoulders and elbows. My shoulders are on fire. My pain is beyond unbearable. The slightest movement makes a lot of noise sometimes.I am in South Africa. I've heard about a special Kind of growth hormone that has no side effects. I'm certain if you add that to the therapy. Results will be even better
Thanks for asking! The answer is - it depends. Stem cell therapy is not a cure-all and not everyone is a good candidate for treatment. My suggestion would be to speak to the experts at 2-3 reputable clinics and see what they say.
@@painfixprotocolThank you for replying.Where is and what is reputable clinics? My pain is unbearable !I am from South Africa. Alternative treatments are extremely rare over here. Lots of doctors just want to put me on pain medication. Which is no solution whatsoever and the use of my arms are now very limited😭 Just holding a coffee mug of water hurts sometimes. Scary stuff. May you have a good week.ps My pain is so bad. I'm willing to be a guinea pig for cartilage regeneration treatment research and repairing medicine. I saw Japan is doing some good work and research. I will give up everything I own to be pain free
I have chondromalacia patella. Its very painful at times. It flares up for weeks at a stretch before the area is fully healed again. But I want to fully stop it. Since the cartillage under my patella has softened, i was thinking of stem cell therapy. What are your thoughts?
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." Here's the link: stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13287-021-02478-4
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/
For most gout sufferers, dietary changes can make a huge impact. As far as arthritis and stem cells - here's a recent article on the subject: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10219560/

Thanks a lot for the genuine information. I got the stemcell treatment for my knees a week ago, and now I'm quite relaxed and satisfied after watching your video.❤
The cost for stem cell therapy depends on several factors: 1) how many cells you're receiving 2) the source of those cells (how much work does it take to harvest) 3) what region of the body or condition you're treating 4) how involved the procedure is. In my case, the shoulder treatment cost $3,000 and the ankle cost $2,000.
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.
Great question! The cost varies quite a bit depending on a few things: 1) The region of the body 2) How many cells you're getting - I had 50 mil in my shoulder and only 25 mil in my ankle 3) How involved the procedure is. 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.
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.
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
I had stem cells + PRP in my shoulder and stem cells only in my ankle. They were mesenchymal stem cells that were harvested from the umbilical cord / placenta following a healthy live birth.
@@painfixprotocol Thank you. Do you know of any clinics that are using stem cell therapy for skin regeration or wound healing after radiation damage from cancer treatment?
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.
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.
No. Platelet Rick Plasma and stem cell therapy are not the same thing. This video explains in greater detail - ruclips.net/video/lp65NY9Y_N0/видео.html

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.

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.
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.
I understand you are not allowed to give any advice but I'm planning to get stem cells in germany, but I heard a lot of people go ot mexico for this? Would it be worth it to go to mexico for this?
I have not looked into what's available in Germany in terms of treatment options. But there are several important considerations: first and foremost making sure stem cell therapy has efficacy and is appropriate for your condition. Also, the type of stem cells, the source of those cells, the number of cells you're getting and of course cost. Lots of information about all of this in my Stem Cell Playlist - studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPL1rO7vW04HUAZH8IvJaFfenqspheJvG-b/videos

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.
Hello Hafriz, The cost varies depending on: 1) The region of the body you're treating 2) The source of your cells 3) How many cells you're getting 4) How involved the procedure is. 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.
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.
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. Dream Body Clinic lists the prices for every treatment they offer on their website - dreambody.clinic/stem-cell-therapy-cost-and-treatments-for-2023/

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.

Good question! Unlike many countries in Europe and Latin America, the US has placed severe restrictions on both the research into and application of stem cell therapies. So although stem cell therapy is available in a limited capacity in the US - doctors there are way behind the power curve when compared with what's available in many other countries.
That's a good question, Jack. Although, I am aware of some very impressive results with other auto-immune conditions - I never asked about Ankylosing Spondylitis specifically. My suggestion would be to reach out to the clinic directly and ask them.
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.
What kind of prices did you pay? I went to R 3Stem Cell in Tijuana. The people are great and it seem to help some but I don’t know if I got enough also, I don’t know if I just did my lifestyle enough.🤪 they charge about $3000 for 30,000 stem cells
Hi everyone, I have a serious knee and shoulder injury I’m co side ring stem cell therapy for but am frankly scared of the tumors and cancer possibilities I’ve heard as a side effect. Is it just 1 type of stem cell that has this negative side effect? Or is this a possible side effect for all stem cell therapies? Thank you so much

Sorry to hear that you didn't have a good result. May I ask a few questions: 1. In what country was your treatment done? 2. What type of stem cells did you receive? 3. What was the source of those cells? 4. How many cells did you receive in each of your treatments?
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.
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.

What name hospital ? For steam Cell enlarged heart
Hello.. could you please offer us more information? How were the stem cells administered?
How did you use stem cells to heal your heart, was it with supplements? Can you help others with your experience?
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?
@@maxisworld 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.
Finally a perfect explanation with examples
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
I'm in Canada as well and looking to go to Mexico for treatment.
I'm doing lots of research right now.
Greetings and wow i am happy to know about the advances being made and i actually had been advised not to get a knee replacement when I retired in 2017 as the doc strongly encouraged me to wait although he did tell me that if i did get an umbilical cord stem cell injection it might help which i did although it was expensive and i had money at the time but he said he was sure advances would make getting a fake knee unnecessary. Well those stem cells did help at the time but now I am unable to tell i had any treatment as I seem to be back to square one. I also have mild essential tremors that i hope to find treatments and btw I’ve had about 16 HBOT treatments at mostly 2.0-ATA pressure as you know those are expensive. I respectfully request a consultation. I have become well versed in the science. Respectfully
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
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'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
No disclosure as to whether Dr Whitten got a discounted or free DreamBody treatment? Sounds like an advert for Dream Body. Glad to hear of the two cases of improvement.
Thanks for inquiring, Sally.
I paid for my own treatment and I receive no payment or compensation from Dream Body Clinic. Simply sharing my experience.
I know that’s right.. let us know lol
@@painfixprotocol
Thank you for paying for your own treatment and not getting paid for endorsement.
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 ?
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 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 !

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 😊🙏🏼
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.
How much and does Medicare insurance cover.
The cost varies depending on: 1) The region of the body you're treating 2) The source of your cells 3) How many cells you're getting 4) How involved the procedure is.
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.
Unfortunately, regenerative medical procedures are not yet covered by insurance or Medicare.
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?
@@painfixprotocolI'm having a similar issue. I did PRP. My last round of injections was a year and a half ago. I'm not sure how many cells were used. Is this the only option when it comes to stem cell therapy?
What about wrist arthritis?? Help.please
From what I understand Bandana, the success rates with joint degeneration are very good. But because there are different kinds of arthritis, I would encourage you to reach out to the clinic directly with your questions.
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/

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!
Dr. Yoni... i really noticed at time 5.31. You said snowboarding injury. i know how it really feels bro. it was like muscle thread / fiber push it away until the proper point. it also brings the nerve so we can feel it. i am healing my muscle tear with a lot of challenging to find the right food pattern / diet. i consuming bcaa, l-lysine, vit d and so on. 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.
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 Dr Whitten, why did you choose Dream Body? My L4 and L5 look similar and I have pain everyday and looking at stem cell. I spoke to the physicians at Eterna that do treatments in Cabo. Trying to navigate which clinics are the best option for me.
I did consultations with multiple clinics and ended up going with the clinic that best explained the science of stem cells, the procedure & how to get the most out of a stem cell treatment.
Do they have stem cell clinics in New Jersey? They do we can you tell me some names of clinics
Unfortunately, I don't have a recommendation for NJ
Hi I live in bali r there reputable stem cell clinics in Asia?
What was the cost of your treatment?
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.
I have not looked into clinics in Asia, so I an unable to make any recommendations.
Malaysia apparently has excellent offerings for this. Search here on RUclips. An American lady talks about having it for her knee in Malaysia.
Why can they only help the endocrine system of the pancreas but not the exocrine system? Doesn't make sense to me but I'm sure you don't know either.
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).
Would you recommend stem cell therapy for chondromalacia patellae? (Cartilage damage behind kneecap) and mpfl ligament damage
Good question. Here's a recent article on the topic: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34275494/
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.
Stem cells cure lupus?@@painfixprotocol
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.
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.
Why is it not available in the US?
It is available in the US. However, there are certain restrictions and it's use is limited. I wrote an eBook that talks all about this and you can get it here for free - painfixprotocol.com/stem-cell-mistakes-ebook/
Do we need to wear sling post injection? In shoulder
No sling is needed post treatment.
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.
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.

Thanks for your comment, Sebastian.
I'm not sure what gave you the impression that this was "research" - it is simply me sharing my first experience with stem cell therapy.
But, I agree with you that before and after MRI's are very nice to see and so I did that for another treatment I received. Here's the video - ruclips.net/video/mszDnVY1IQc/видео.html
My question is simple. My L4-L5 disc has degenerated. I have stenosis in the same area. I've already spoken with the CPI institute in Mexico and they gave me a price on 25k for the week down there. Will this actually regenerate and fix the problem? Or just buy me alittle time?
It's a good question, Robert. Unfortunately, without much more information, I cannot say.
What I can do is show you the results from my treatment - in this video: ruclips.net/video/mszDnVY1IQc/видео.html

You're most welcome! I'm glad it was helpful!
Why go out of the country if you can get it here in the states?
Good question. It's because the treatment options in the US for stem cell therapy are quite limited.
How much is something like that cost?
The cost for stem cell therapy depends on several factors: 1) how many cells you're receiving 2) the source of those cells (how much work does it take to harvest) 3) what region of the body or condition you're treating 4) how involved the procedure is. In my case, the shoulder treatment cost $3,000 and the ankle cost $2,000.
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.
What was the cost for this procedure
The 50 million MSCs + PRP to my shoulder cost $3,000 and the 25 million MSCs to my ankle cost $2,000.
What was the cost, for treatment?
Great question! The cost varies quite a bit depending on a few things: 1) The region of the body 2) How many cells you're getting - I had 50 mil in my shoulder and only 25 mil in my ankle 3) How involved the procedure is.
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.
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.
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
Was it prt or stem cells? What kind and where did they come from?
I had stem cells + PRP in my shoulder and stem cells only in my ankle. They were mesenchymal stem cells that were harvested from the umbilical cord / placenta following a healthy live birth.

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.
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.
I understand you are not allowed to give any advice but I'm planning to get stem cells in germany, but I heard a lot of people go ot mexico for this? Would it be worth it to go to mexico for this?
I have not looked into what's available in Germany in terms of treatment options. But there are several important considerations: first and foremost making sure stem cell therapy has efficacy and is appropriate for your condition. Also, the type of stem cells, the source of those cells, the number of cells you're getting and of course cost. Lots of information about all of this in my Stem Cell Playlist - studio.ruclips.net/user/playlistPL1rO7vW04HUAZH8IvJaFfenqspheJvG-b/videos
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.
Trying to find out if stem cells would help a multi fractured collarbone heal? Or is Tim cell therapy mainly for soft tissues and joints?
Good question! Here's an article that talks about it: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6863062/
@@painfixprotocol thank you!
What about Type2 diabetes treatment using stem cell therapy??please reply.
Great question! A 2023 literature review concluded "MSC treatment of type 2 diabetes is safe and effective." Here's the link for that paper - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10024492/
@@painfixprotocol how much does it cost?
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."
What is the source of prp?
The platelet rich plasma is taken from your own blood.
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?
Hey Doc, whats the costs
Hello Hafriz,
The cost varies depending on: 1) The region of the body you're treating 2) The source of your cells 3) How many cells you're getting 4) How involved the procedure is.
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.
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.
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. Dream Body Clinic lists the prices for every treatment they offer on their website - dreambody.clinic/stem-cell-therapy-cost-and-treatments-for-2023/
@@painfixprotocol Thank you for the reply!
Great video Doc!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it
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.
Your health is priceless
@@evelynhernandez7106 I couldn't agree more!
@@jjsuperalfadogg122 Please share you experience and results afterwards! If there's a reputable clinic out there that's doing good work, I want people to know about it.
Where did the Stem Cells come from =?
For the treatment I received, the stems cells were harvested from placenta and umbilical cord tissue following a healthy live birth.
@@painfixprotocol can stem cells be taken from an embryo? And would they more effective in some treatments?
Are you aware of any positive results in fixing retina damage? from retina detachment
Great question! Here's a recent paper that reviews all the research available - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8327474/
What type of doctor do I talk to to discuss this?
You're looking for a doctor that specializes in regenerative medicine.
How much did it cost.....
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.
Why is this not in America?
Good question! Unlike many countries in Europe and Latin America, the US has placed severe restrictions on both the research into and application of stem cell therapies. So although stem cell therapy is available in a limited capacity in the US - doctors there are way behind the power curve when compared with what's available in many other countries.
Ankylosing spondylitis, I’m 52 . Is there anything for my condition?
That's a good question, Jack. Although, I am aware of some very impressive results with other auto-immune conditions - I never asked about Ankylosing Spondylitis specifically. My suggestion would be to reach out to the clinic directly and ask them.
@@painfixprotocol thank you for the response 🙏
Absolutely,@@Harshharsh111! Please let us know what you find out. I'm sure there are other people in the community who have the same question.
i had them in my knees and back got great results!
Glad to hear it, Gary! Thanks for sharing!
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.
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?
What kind of prices did you pay? I went to R 3Stem Cell in Tijuana. The people are great and it seem to help some but I don’t know if I got enough also, I don’t know if I just did my lifestyle enough.🤪 they charge about $3000 for 30,000 stem cells
For the shoulder, I paid $3,000 for 50 million MSCs + PRP. For the ankle, I paid $2,000 for 25 million MSCs.
Hi everyone, I have a serious knee and shoulder injury I’m co side ring stem cell therapy for but am frankly scared of the tumors and cancer possibilities I’ve heard as a side effect. Is it just 1 type of stem cell that has this negative side effect? Or is this a possible side effect for all stem cell therapies? Thank you so much
It's important to exercise caution and do your research before any medical procedure. This paper provides an objective look at the pros and cons of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6719501/
Regarding knee treatment; here's the conclusion from a recent meta-analysis that summarized the data from 35 studies using mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for knee osteoarthritis: "MSC treatment improves knee pain, physical function, and cartilage quality, without any severe adverse events."

I’ve had both back and recently shoulder stem cell injections and nothing yet! Back 8-10 years ago shoulder very resent 4 weeks ago. It’s no wonder why insurance won’t cover it!
Sorry to hear that you didn't have a good result. May I ask a few questions: 1. In what country was your treatment done?
2. What type of stem cells did you receive?
3. What was the source of those cells?
4. How many cells did you receive in each of your treatments?
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.
