My New ACL Stem Cell Infographic
Today, like many Americans, I have the flu. I put this together yesterday when I felt better, so here is a compilation of information and before and after MRIs of ACLs healed with our highly precise injection of high-dose bone marrow concentrate (same-day ACL stem cell procedure). Just click on the thumbnail below to see…read more
Alcohol and Stem Cells: Worse than I Thought?
We have always told stem cell patients to avoid drinking more than a glass of wine before a stem cell procedure. This was based on data from studies showing that alcoholics are more prone to damaging bone stem cells, and that can cause osteonecrosis. However, recent findings suggest that alcohol may be even more damaging…read more Does Our Gut Microbiome Adapt to Food Preservatives?
All of us are paying closer attention to the food we eat, where it’s sourced, what’s in it, and how it’s made. Additives and preservatives are something we rarely think about as they seem to be invisible. There’s also incredible attention being paid to the bacteria in our gut (microbiome). However, can the additives in…read more Platelets and Neutrophils Double-Team Invading Bacteria
It blows me away that in 2017, we’re still figuring out how the body works. This morning’s study shows that platelets and neutrophils work together a little like cattle dogs and a rancher. Let me explain. What Are Platelets? Platelets are cell fragments that circulate in the blood. One purpose for platelets is to initiate…read more Jeff Hayes and “The Healing Miracle: The Truth About Stem Cells” (aka Stem Cell Docu Series)
You might have wondered why in yesterday’s blog I would be so concerned about chiropractors, naturopaths, and acupuncturists entering into the field of stem cell therapy. After all, if you read this blog, you know that I’m a huge fan of chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, and other alternative-health practitioners. I’ve even called out my own profession…read more Another Lower Back Stem Cell Injection Patient Result
Way back when, in 2005/6, when I injected the first patient in the world with stem cells into a damaged low back disc, it was “way out there.” In fact, we had to be under the supervision of an Institutional Review Board just to get it done. How times have changed in 13 short years.…read more
