In 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 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!

Read MoreI recently returned from lecturing at the meeting of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. When I toured the exhibit hall I noticed there were a number of vendors selling various derivatives of Marijuana for medicinal uses. Unfortunately, most of the sales people did not seem to have a true grasp…
Read More(The above diagram encompasses most of the external factors that affect stem cells in our body.) A stem-cell niche is an area of a tissue that provides a specific microenvironment, in which stem cells are present in an undifferentiated and self-renewable state. Cells of the stem-cell niche interact with the stem cells to…
Read MoreExtracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is something that has been around for a while but it seems to be having a renaissance.
