In this episode of "Live Better Without Surgery," I’m excited to tackle a common misconception about stem cell therapy: the belief that younger, 'fresh' stem cells from allogeneic tissues are somehow superior to our own. Many patients express a desire for "baby stem cells," thinking they are more effective. However, I’m here to clarify that this is simply not true.
While live stem cells are present at the time of delivery, the process of freezing, transporting, and thawing these cells results in no viable cells reaching the doctor. Instead, I advocate for the use of autologous procedures, where we harvest stem cells from your own bone marrow or fat, which do have live stem cells.
I’ll also discuss essential factors to consider when seeking regenerative treatments, such as the quality of the product and the expertise of the provider. Not all PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is created equal, and it’s crucial to verify cell counts and ensure that injections are guided by ultrasound.
Join me as I help you navigate through the noise and misinformation in the world of regenerative medicine. My goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your health, and to trust in the healing power of your own body, even if those stem cells are 50 or 60 years old. Remember, your own cells are powerful healers. Let’s explore how you can live better without surgery!
