If stem cells can become heart, brain, and liver, why not pancreas, skin, lung, and the rest? It makes no sense that stem cells will become those three organs, but not the rest. So let's assume they can become everything. That means they have to be the repair system of the body. How can you see an immune cell migrating from your lymph nodes,

to the area where you have an infection, where that immune cell goes beside the bacteria and kill the bacteria. This process is well coordinated. It's not random. You would not say, what a crazy cell that went and killed this bacteria. No, it's your well-orchestrated immune system.

If you have cells that can become cells of various tissues in your body, they have to be the repair system of the body. We published an article in a journal, Medical Hypotheses, suggesting that stem cells are the repair system of the body. In the back of my mind,

Just like we have plants stimulating the immune system, what if this blue-green algae was working by stimulating the release of stem cells? So in 2001, two very, very far-fetched ideas. We could not find any scientist just thinking that our idea was making any sense. But to me, it just made a lot of sense. So we acquired a flow cytometer, which is the machine to count stem cells.

We started to count stem cells in our blood, took a blood sample, count stem cells, then took the blue green algae and took another blood sample an hour, two hours, three hours later. And we saw the whole phenomenon. So you take this plant and within a few hours, you release your own stem cells. You have an increase in the number of stem cells in circulation.

And from that point on, I've basically dedicated everything to study the role of stem cells in the body, and more importantly, their role as being the repair system of the body, and how can we boost that repair system to gain, you know, greater health, greater repair, and so on. So in a nutshell, that's kind of how I got into stem cell research.

Yes, it's correct in the sense that when science discovered that stem cells from the bone marrow could have some ability to repair, they had some regenerative properties, I discovered that in the scientific literature. So other people did the work before me, but...

As they are doing this work, it is assumed that stem cells from the bone marrow, as they sit in the bone marrow, don't really have a whole lot of potential. You need to be able to take them out, do something to them, and inject them back. So that was the start of all the development of various stem cell therapies and stem cell treatments that you hear about.

You know, the athletes you were talking about, referring to, they go and they get an injection. So what I'm really the pioneer of and probably like the number one pioneer is understanding that these stem cells that are in your bone marrow, they actually do the repair in the same way as the stem cells that you inject. So it's just a matter of finding a way to

trigger their release from your own bone marrow so that they can get into the bloodstream. So this concept that I coined, endogenous stem cell mobilization, which means the release of your own stem cells, that modality in terms of tapping into the regenerative power of stem cells, that's what I pioneered from the early days of stem cell research. That's correct.
