I want to be very clear. I don't think the risk is very high for stem cell injection. There are some that are there. They exist. They have happened. We just need to know about them. Versus taking herbal extracts. How did we discover these herbal extracts? We have looked at plants that have been used for centuries for many kinds of benefits.

Versus taking herbal extracts. How did we discover these herbal extracts? We have looked at plants that have been used for centuries for many kinds of benefits.
So if these plants were associated with any kind of side effects, we would not have used them. So the plans that we're using have a long history of safety. So there's no issue with any of the plans that you have in stem regen release. With stem cell injections, here are some of the things that can happen. Stem cell injection, it is rare, but it happens.

And some people trigger what is called like a cytokine storm. It's almost like the inflammatory signal for a moment gets like super amplified. And now it starts to really damage parts of your body. I've heard of this and people get injection in joint, for example. Your joints will improve. And yet the person was for something like three weeks unable to move. It was way worse for a little while.

These things are seen. I do not know the frequency of them. I would assume it's not a lot. The other thing is that these stem cells are collected. They're not always collected in conditions that make them fully safe. What I mean is that though rare, most of the side effects or a lot of them reported with the FDA has been associated with systemic infection.

Like you get an injection of a sample that has been contaminated. Now you need to deal with an infection. So that is a reality. If you go to a good clinic, it's probably not a real risk. But it just needs to be known. And that's probably why you need to go to a good clinic.

And that's probably why all the mechanism of quality assurance on these stem cells is a part of the cost of why these treatments are expensive. So you want to pay for a good treatment. Things that can happen is, this was more of a fear some time ago, which is the fact that when you get stem cells from somebody that you don't know, these are like umbilical cord stem cells I'm referring to here.

You get stem cells from an umbilical cord, you don't know who it's coming from. These are screened for various kinds of genetic problems, but when you screen something, you can only screen it for what you know. You cannot screen it for what you don't know. So could there be some sort of genetic material that when you're exposed to, it slowly develops in you a problem, a disease or something?

So it was a potential issue that I've never been really aware. reported, if you want, until about, what, about a year ago. There's a paper that was published. It was in April 2024. And what did it is that they took a human gene encoding for Alzheimer's, so Alzheimer's plaques in the brain.

They inserted that in the genome of a mouse, and then they took a stem cell from that mouse, injected that into a recipient mouse, and that recipient mouse that received the stem cells developed Alzheimer's. It's the first documentation that a gene that codes for a disease can indeed be transferred through stem cell transfusion.

Now, granted, the reason why I'm saying it's probably not really in humans... that much of a risk is that when you do blood transfusion, stem cells are there in that blood. And a lot of those diseases are not transferred in that way.
