It created an antibody.

They re-infused that patient's own antibodies into their system, and it ate the cancer like a termite.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

And I've watched this happen.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

I'd be happy to give you the data.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

And I look at the risk of taking a patient's own natural killer cells out of their body, introducing them in vitro to cancer, creating this immune response and then re-infusing those back into the body.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

The risk of rejection is obviously very low.

It's their own natural killer.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

We know that they've accelerated wound healing.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
229. Dr. Marty Makary: Vaccines, Chronic Disease, Drug Prices & Hormone Therapy

We've actually accelerated...

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

biologic filters, plasma filtration, dendritic cell vaccine, natural killer cells.

I've seen these therapies work in front of my own eyes for people that are going outside of the country and having them done.
