Human Cellular Therapy/Stem Cells/Exosomes/Regenerative Medicine

The word is out. ‘Stem Cells’ and their use in Regenerative Medicine is in the news, on the Internet, even in our local Events Calendars.

This is an area of great confusion, with difficult to understand science. And, of course, Big Pharma & the FDA is heavily involved. Curiously and fortunately, this is an occassion when I’m completely aligned and supportive of the FDA’s position.

“…the agency’s goal is to make sure Regenerative Medicine can continue to benefit patients who need new & innovative options for their problems…(the FDA) is committed to make sure these opportunities advance as quickly as possible…. (by putting in place) the framework to separate promising treatments from products that pose risks..”

— Scott Gottlieb, MD, Commissioner of FDA, August 2017

Here’s my history:  Regenerative Medicine is an established sub-specialty of ancient medical science of Ayurveda, of which I have been involved since the early ’90’s.  I’ve been tracking Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy since 1996, and opened my own private 9,000 square foot hospital in Thailand in 1999, as an extension of my Hawaii practice, to interface with whom I considered the most trustworthy regenerative stem cell surgeons of the time in Asia.  

Here’s where I stand:  I’ve always felt that Regenerative Stem Cell Therapies should be ‘front-line’ therapies, offered by Primary Care Physicians, and accessible to all, not just the ultra-wealthy.  Through my international colleagues, mostly frontline practitioners, this is increasingly possible.  The ongoing challenge has been the wise and appropriate use of these amazing treatments within a context of a holistic treatment plan.  As such, I’m a long-time lecturer to the American Academy of Stem Cell Physicians, championing the pre-procedure and procedure processes which portend better results.  

Here’s where we are now:  We now have available in-Clinic various types of Regenerative Stem Cell / Human cellular therapies at all times.  The FDA regulatory pendulum has swung to-and-fro, creating more stable and consistent products in the marketplace, and stimulating scientific refinement for the benefit of you as a patient.  We are using ethical, safe, legal, FDA-compliant, products and processes, with high predictability of benefit.  We have also amassed what I honestly believe to be the best toolkit of non-invasive technologies for the scientific and artful remodeling of previously injured, withered, degenerated, under nourished, and functionally lagging tissues.  I am more excited than ever before of the opportunity this science-in-the-making holds for the enhancement of your youthful life as it moves forward against the ravages of time and gravity.

If you or someone you care about is suffering from: 

• non-healing knee, shoulder, hip pain, neck/back, or other small joint pain …. from an old injury or OsteoArthritis
• AutoImmunity … like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus
• Hashimoto’s Thyroidits/Grave’s Disease or
• Psoriasis
• chronic respiratory disease … like COPD/Emphysema, Chronic Asthma, Bronchiolitis, or Pulmonary Fibrosis
• Liver Cirrhosis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis or Multiple Sclerosis
• slow recovery from Stroke or Heart disease
• painful Diabetic or Post-Chemo Neuropathy
• Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease

Please have them schedule a 60 minute appointment to discuss their condition and see if I might be able to help them.
