Calorie restriction remains the surest path to increased longevity and resilience to diseases of aging across many organisms including humans. As an added bonus it is a good to lose those extra pounds especially during the holidays. Calorie restriction seems to affect many aging pathways. If we affect these pathways in a positive…
Read MoreThe above notification was sent out by the FDA on Dec 20, 2018. A few months ago, I wrote a blog on umbilical and cord bold stem cell products. The blog message was for one to exercise caution with these products. Basically, what I said was buyer beware. What I included was an email from…
Read MoreThe above diagram although complicated has an important take home message. The message is that physical therapy can accomplish many of the same tasks as stem cells. This is why therapy, after a regenerative cell procedure, is so important. What we have learned is that therapy which is represented by “mechanical forces” causes the formation…
Read MoreI continue to see advertisements concerning various cord blood and placenta products. Typically, the line of reasoning for using these products is that the patient’s own cells are “too old” to be effective. This is a very temping treatment method for the uninitiated physician. He can just take a vial of these products from a freezer…

The elephant is an animal which has great longevity. Scientifically speaking, this bucks the trends of nature. Typically, the more cells an animal has the more likely that a cancer or some…
Read MoreIn the diagram, we see one aspect on how we can increase stem cell numbers in some of our procedures in a safe and efficient way. We are constantly looking for ways to increase the stem cell output from the bone marrow. We know all too well that most of the regenerative cells that…
Read MoreWhen I see many different advertisements from different “anti-aging” clinics, I sort of chuckle a bit. There is no doubt that these clinics are helping many patients, but quite honestly, they are usually not doing anything that is a game changer. They will often concentrate on correcting hormonal imbalances, and at the same time, attempt…
Read MoreAbove we can see an article that was published back in 2016 about Peripheral Blood Stem Cells. Peripheral blood stem cells are another name for Very Small Embryonic Like Stem Cells (V-cells). These cells continue to gain acceptance in scientific circles. We have suspected for some time now that…
Read MoreHYBRID BONE MARROW ASPIRATE, THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS! There is a continuing debate between using bone marrow aspirate in a non-centrifuged manner and using it in a manner where it is concentrated by centrifugation. Until recently bone marrow aspirate was essentially always concentrated. This question has generated much discussion and some heated debates…
Read MoreIS ALL FAT CREATED EQUAL? Fat is a very popular treatment modality in Regenerative Medicine. There have been many articles written about fat some condemning it as being far inferior to bone marrow aspirate while others give it the highest praise. The real question is where does fat (adipose tissue) lie on the Regenerative…
