I was a runner, but my knee degeneration got to the point where walking to see a

patient hurt.

And one day I literally asked one of my colleagues to put some steroids and

local anesthetic in my knee so I could continue my clinic.

And that lasted me for about three months, provided really, really good

But the pain recurred at the end of the summer, and I decided I was going to try

something else.

And I did some research and decided to try a stem cell injection.

I had that done two and a half years ago, and I'm paying free today.

And that's what really inspired me to offer it to my patients.

So what stem cells do is they have a couple of properties. One is the ability

renew themselves.

They can regenerate and create new stem cells. And the second property is that

they are pluripotential, which means they can differentiate into other cell

types. Stem cells are present in high concentrations in the bone marrow and

lesser concentrations in other tissue like liver, skin, muscle.

And they are deployed when we get injured or when degeneration takes

to the site of injury, and then they interact with the ambient cells, which

the cells that are there, exchanging proteins and RNA that induces those stem

cells to become the type of cell in that environment.

That helps the regeneration process.

We have a very gentle procedure for doing that. We obtain the bone marrow.

filter it.

and then put it through a centrifuge process that isolates the stem cells,

they would be injected into the joint or disc for the stem cells.

Their main function is to repair the joint or the tendon or the ligament that

has been injured.

We use them for ligament injuries, tendon injuries, any kind of joint

degeneration or injury, as long as it's not...

completely degenerated and there's a chance for the repair of the cartilage

other tissues that are in the joint, we are using it in the spine, in the disc,

intervertebral disc, for disc degeneration, and in the sacroiliac and

joints in the spine and pelvis.

Good Canada would have to have degeneration that can be isolated to

specific joint or tendon and would have to have enough tissue there to work

with. There is no magic bullet, but this is another option that we can offer

that, even from personal experience, I can tell you, I think this is

revolutionary.
