So you increase the blood flow. There's more liquid. They can circulate better. They're attracted to that area. But when they arrive there, stem cells, the first thing that they will do is shut down this inflammation. Because think of any injury that you've had. Let's say you cut yourself, okay? On the day that you cut yourself, this is painful. I mean, you touch it.

On the day that you cut yourself, this is painful. I mean, you touch it.
Anytime you touch your finger or you just slice your finger, it's really painful. Give it a day or two. The cut is still there, but it has lost its sensitivity. Okay? And then as it really starts to heal, the pain is gone. And my point here is that repair cannot take place at the same time as inflammation. You cannot have both together.

So the stem cells will shut down the inflammation and then the tissue can properly repair. So as long as you've got the inflammation, it's because you did not have the repair. So... One of the reasons why you have that situation for the past few years is that the stem cells are declining.

The rate at which you, I wouldn't say abuse, but the rate at which you apply insult to that area of your body is not... is too much for the number of stem cells that you have in your body to go and repair. So as you keep training, you overpower this ability to repair and it has become a chronic situation. That chronic situation make that inflammation becomes sustained.

So as you keep training, you overpower this ability to repair and it has become a chronic situation. That chronic situation make that inflammation becomes sustained.
And now with that inflammation sustained to an extent, stem cells have more difficulty now finding that area and reaching it. So now it started to be in a cycle. So I'm thinking a good thing to do is stop this area for a while to really allow this area to reduce the amount of inflammation that it's releasing, put more stem cells in circulation. So now the stem cells can really see where to go.

And these stem cells will go in repair. And then when you go back to train, you will see that you have now repaired, cut that cycle. I'm not saying no pain will come. Because age is a reality. There could be like remaining damage to the tissue. But I would say give it a little bit of rest for a while. I would not be surprised if it completely disappears. We have seen that in a lot of people.

We have seen that in a lot of people.
So I would say to summarize this, give a chance to the area. To kind of rest for a little while so that the stem cells can fully repair so that you don't keep adding insult to a tissue that has not fully repaired. Put more stem cells in circulation, it will fully repair. And then when that is done, the pain and the inflammation will have gone. They will have no reason to be.

It's the other way around. What I mean is that it's a little bit like, let's go back to the immune system. If you've got an infection and you do whatever, you stimulate mitochondrial function, And it helps get rid of your infection. The only logical thing is that you've stimulated mitochondrial function in immune cells and your immune cells were more effective.

Because it's only immune cells that are going to kill the bacteria in your body. They are your immune system. So we need to think about this in the same way. Only stem cells in your body will do the repair. There's nothing else in your body that does repair. It's your stem cells that are in charge of repair.

Anything that you do that is going to support repair has to act through stem cells in one way or another. Red lights are going to help repair. Well, red lights are going to stimulate microvasculature in an area and will help pool more stem cells in that area the time that you have the red lights.
