Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Are Stem Cells the Unlock to Regenerative Medicine? | Dr Joy Kong

Umbilical cord is almost the best of both worlds because it contains some of the early markers as the embryonic stem cell, which really shows that they are more flexible. They've got more potentials. They're just in a more primitive state. And then they're so down the stream because they are all the way down to... the formation of the baby.

So they have also evolved to the point where they are not going to go crazy, go haywire. So, so these cells were trapped when the embryo was forming and then they're retaining some of the characteristics of the early embryo, but, but also they just lost some of the crazy potentials.

The exciting thing is, is that the, the range is just kept, it keeps expanding either from research, published research or from anecdotal clinical practice. So the, Even if you just look at research, it's extremely active all around the world. There are so many conditions.

I know this because I've read almost all of them, all these articles, because I teach a course through the academy I founded called American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy. So I train all these doctors and I train them through evidence. I don't train them through my philosophy, right? This is all about evidence. Let's see what we have found out. through rigorous research.

So there are evidence of every organ system, just from head to toe, right? From brain diseases as early as autism, cerebral palsy as late as Alzheimer's or later other neurological neurodegenerative conditions. And we have cardiac issues, heart, lung, liver, reproductive systems,

and all kinds of musculoskeletal issues all kinds of systemic conditions like autoimmune issues or cancer i mean you name it there's tremendous amount of evidence and then every day the doctors that i work with and and me we keep accumulating new evidence basically we're in the frontier we're right in the front line and we started we start to see things that have never been seen before right so a few examples even just things i've seen

I mean, I couldn't believe there are a few cases I just couldn't believe. One of them was a patient that was had a when he was nine years old, he got a brain surgery from because of a brain tumor. But the surgery went bad. didn't go very well. There was a problem. So optic nerve was, was damaged. So he couldn't see from that one eye for 44 years until he got stem cell therapy from us.

He's starting to see in that one eye. So this is something that like, I would have never, if I had done a consultation with a patient, I would have just said, you know, I, I doubt this is going to help your vision. You know, I would, I would not anticipate. I mean, I just, I wouldn't, I've never give false hopes, but

the fact that the person's starting to see, it's just so inspiring of what these cells are capable of. And one of my earliest patient was a liver cirrhosis patient. He didn't qualify for a liver transplant because he was IV drug user. So he was in hospice and he had almost no strength to talk and is extremely emaciated with a big belly, the ascites.

And I gave him one treatment, and I couldn't believe it, as I found out later, because I was planning on doing more, but he didn't show up. But he got recovered so fast that even on the way, on his drive from Los Angeles to Sacramento, within those four or five hours, he's... the swelling had gone down halfway. It was just, I couldn't believe it.
