So you kick in the gear and you start to repair. But there's nothing to repair because you don't know where the fire is. So systemic inflammation fools stem cells, misguides them in their ability to really find where they need to go. So if you don't move, you have poor microcirculation, your inflammation becomes systemic.

You can release stem cells, but they can't reach the area where they need to go. So these are all elements that are going to reduce the ability of your repair system to do its job as you're aging. Did that answer your question?

Not poor production of stem cells. It means that your overall blood environment is no longer optimal to deliver these stem cells exactly at the area where they're needed. Got it. That's really all it means. It's not C-reactive protein is more a marker in that situation. I'm talking about all inflammatory cytokines.

The ones that are going to tell a stem cell, think of a stem cell as a little bit like you're, okay, let me take this analogy. I'm making like super simple here, hopefully not too simple. Like your fireman that has his hacks, his water tank in the back, and he's going around. And the moment that he sees smoke, he takes the water tank, shoots it, breaks the whatever.

Like your fireman that has his hacks, his water tank in the back, and he's going around. And the moment that he sees smoke, he takes the water tank, shoots it, breaks the whatever.

He does his job and he puts off the fire. So now that fireman gets into a house, sees the smoke everywhere, takes the water tank, starts to spray water, but the fire is not there. All you've got there is the smoke. So when he ends up at the place where there's the fire, the tank is empty.

So in a way, the stem cell, when it gets stimulated in its migration capacity, it has spent a lot of the adhesion molecules, the tools that it needs to go from the blood, migrate through the capillary into the tissue. All that machinery is spent outside of the area where that stem cell can migrate.

So they're there in the blood and they lose their full ability to do their job if they are in an area with systemic inflammation.

We've seen this in cases, we did a preliminary trial with Alzheimer's patients years ago, and we were seeing that some of the most advanced cases, to our surprise, had many stem cells in circulation, but those stem cells had lost the receptor to listen to the tissue calling for repair.

So the stem cells are called from the bone marrow, they're put into the circulation, but they can't find where they need to go. And then those patients at a super high level of systemic inflammation. It's these observations that have put me on the track of really understanding how systemic inflammation is really a burden for stem cells in their role of finding where they need to go in the body.

Whenever you have pain, And we need to like, I mean, it's not difficult to understand. We just need to develop that groove in our brain to really go there with the thinking process. Pain is a signal. It's a signal telling us You stop moving that area to not make it worse. And then the inflammation are signals to attract stem cells, increase the ability of stem cells to flow in that area.
