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

And then within a few weeks, he was walking around talking like a normal person. And then within a couple months, when he went back to his primary care, his liver specialist, and his liver test actually was normal. So that one was absolutely incredible. And It could be an outlier. However, show me a conventional medicine, any medicine you have, that can create this. I will be in shock.

We don't have anything like this. So there are outliers of extraordinary outcomes. And there are people whose outcome is not as extraordinary. And then the vast majority is in between. people are getting incredible benefits from previously with no medications, no medical treatment was making a difference. So it may take several sessions.

So it's not a miraculous thing, but still we are able to create changes that the conventional medicine really didn't have tools to create.

Yeah, from what we give him, right? We're not giving him neural progenitor cells. We're not injecting right into the area. And a lot of times we don't have to because of how these cells work. So how I consult with patients is really by talking about how the cells work and to see if that can dovetail their condition. So something like optic nerve damage. So there's tissue death and damage.

Maybe it's not dead, maybe just severely damaged, but still the person could not see. there could be a local inflammatory mechanism going on, that there's so much inflammation that it's diseased, right? There's a blockage of signaling. So how do the stem cells work? So the mesenchymal stem cells I'm talking about, that's one of the main...

main players in regenerative medicine, the mechanism is one is highly anti-inflammatory. So think about chronic illnesses and how many of these have inflammation as part of the mechanism. So if you can calm the inflammation, now you're allowing the body to go to the other way of existing, which is regenerate.

That's where we're going. That's where we are. We will be there. Um, I'm, we'll be there in our lifetime and you know, I, I hopefully within 10 years, 15 years, I'm really hoping, and it really depends on the regulatory atmosphere and how it just, yeah, that has a lot to do with how fast we can get there.

So, um, and your example of your, your, your, your arm, it's just so beautiful because you are, you were doing regenerative medicine, right? Through dietary approach, because calming the inflammation, you're, uh, addressing this through a systemic method. And that's one of the mainstays of how I use stem cells to help people is through the systemic route. Because your arm, the tissue damage,

is the reason it's chronic is because your body somehow could not repair it. Because acute injury, yes, you're going to be inflamed, you're going to be in pain, but if your body is doing its job, cells should get right over there, take away the bad cells, calm the inflammation, now you can start regenerating.
