Athletes that our center has treated!

I thought the above headline might have raised some eyebrows. I have numerous requests by various news agencies such as HBO and ESPN wanting to observe us treating athletes. Well you will note that we have been conspicuously absent in allowing this to be done or even mentioning athletes we have treated. Other than Mr. Colon who the New York Times first broke the story and Mr. C.J Nitkowski who posted a blog, we have not mentioned any athletes we have treated nor do we intend to. We guard our patients privacy very strongly and athletes are no ...

The Use of Regenerative Photonic Therapy

Recently I had the honor of meeting with Drs. Norman and Natasha Salansky. This dynamic husband and wife PHD team are considered some of the world' leading expects in the use of lasers and photonics as they pertain to humans. This field is called laser medicine. They recently presented at "25 International Congress on Laser Medicine". They have been involved in the field of lasers for many years. They have taken the next step and applied their knowledge to Regenerative Medicine. They have researched the healing phenomena of low energy coherent lasers and non-coherent (LED) photons for ...

Electricity and Stem Cells

Does electricity make a difference for stem cells?  We have been intrigued by electricity and its use in the body for centuries.  I first  became aware of the use of electricity in the field of stem cells with my work with the Bionicare brace. The Bionicare brace was created at Johns Hopkins Univ. and the Univ. of Pennsylvania.  The research was performed by Dr. Carl Brighton and Dr. Hungerford. Dr. Brighton initially  taught us the concept of ...

Dominican Republic Lecture

I just returned from a short trip to the Dominican Republic lecturing to over 300 orthopedic doctors on the use of stem cells and PRP  for orthopedic problems. I must admit that the interest was overwhelming. Apparently stem cells and PRP is a hot topic in the D.R. We must realize that baseball is the king in the D.R. I would say that the interest in baseball far surpasses the interest for the NFL in the ...

FAT STEM CELLS

FAT STEM CELLS WERE NAMED BY TIME MAGAZINE AS ONE OF THE 50 BEST INVENTIONS OF 2011

 

This comes as no surprise when one considers all the research that has been done with fat stem cells. When a mainstream  periodical such as Time magazine  considers something as one of the fifty beat inventions of the year that says something. Fat is finally making it to the big time. The only thing I would question is ...

Stem Cell Tests on ALS

At Emory University in Atlanta two weeks ago, stem cells were injected into the upper spinal cord of a patient, Richard Grosjean, for the first time as part of a clinical trial. The 50-year old Grosjean received stem cell injections in his neck as a new experimental treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), widely known as Lou Gehrig's disease. According to reports, the clinical trial at Emory is  being used to test the safety of injecting stem cells ... << MORE >>

Stem Cells Make The Heart Grow...Fonder

A new study in stem cell therapy has yielded some very tangible results for the potential of this cutting edge medical field. Dr. Robert Bolli and a team of researchers injected stem cells into the hearts of patients who had suffered extreme heart damage, and the results were phenomenal. As hoped, the stem cells grew into new heart cells to act as replacements for the damaged heart cells. This brings a smile to the medical ... << MORE >>

Supplements to Enhance Stem Cell Output

What we hope to accomplish with supplements is to enhance the output of stem cells from the marrow so that the body has them at its disposal accomplish repair.  This seems simple yet it  can sometimes prove to be a daunting task.  We are fairly certain that there are certain supplements out there which enhance stem cell output.  What we observe is that most supplements which improve our health seem to do so by a variety of mechanisms.  
     
Certainly many of these supplements work by their antioxidant properties.  The body produces free ...

Resolved Knee

 

The above pictures represent pictures of an MRI scan from one of our patients. What we are looking at are pictures of a knee (both front ways and sideways views). The bottom four pictures are from an MRI scan in 2008. At that time our patient was in severe pain on the inside (medial) portion of his knee. He was able to walk only with crutches. In the bottom four pictures the second and fourth pictures going from left to right show significant problems. In these two pictures we see ...

The Korean Connection

Recently I was honored to have Dr. Jae-Do Kim, M.D., Ph.D. Professor, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kosin University Gospel Hospital Busan, Republic of Korea. Dr. Kim visited with his lovely wife who is a radiologist at Kosin University. Dr. Kim had met me while I was lecturing in Korea earlier this year. Prior to that time he had not done much with bone marrow stem cells. He came to my office and spent a few days ...
