However, from what I understand, they require fewer expansions than a normal expanded stem cell. And every time you expand the stem cell lineage, you run the risk of mutations, you run the risk of impurities, and you run the risk of them causing issues in a patient in which they're injected. So if you get stem cells in the U.S., they're unexpanded,

but they're also arguably a little bit safer unless you're getting something like, let's say, a mu cell. You mean, you're talking about it's safer internationally or safer domestically if you're concerned about histocompatibility because the FDA is pretty strict about how stem cells are regulated. Actually, I don't think they're technically regulated by the FDA.

but they're considered to be almost like a pharmaceutical drug or they're treated a little bit like one. They're not quite classified as a drug. You know, they're trying to classify them as a drug, but there's so much regulation in the US that you do have a lower risk of side effect issues, but also a lower stem cell count. So you're getting less of the good stuff.

Arguably, the question is how much less of the good stuff for it to be an issue. Now, what I did was simply a stem cell infusion. This is an anti-aging or longevity or brain health play, right? Stem cells straight into the bloodstream. They go throughout the body. It's like a shotgun approach.

if you were to go to let's say doctor like you just mentioned dr khan like he has clinics in cabo and dubai and toronto he will do stem cell infusions but he also does injections into different joints using ultrasound guided imaging and this is something you can do for like back treatment or knee treatment or shoulder treatment and even though you can also do that in the us

The idea of regenerative medicine using safe expanded stem cells overseas is a good idea, but it's going to be a lot more expensive and inconvenient than doing it in the US. So there's benefits to both. And I bounce back and forth. I've done international stem cell treatments. I've done domestic.

If you're literally just in it for anti-aging and you want to do like, you know, like the doctor I was with yesterday, Dr. Joy Kong, she's like 53 years old and she looks like she's 40 and she's been doing quarterly stem cell infusions. So every three months for like eight years or something like that.
