Was told I needed a knee replacement, opted for stem cells and it was the best decision I made. Got back full range of motion in my kneee, bike riding, hiking and playing basketball again. Enjoying life
Look into prolotherapy people. There are so many cases where knee cartilage is partially restored. The same is true for hydrogels - they are already in widespread use in Denmark and have amazing results. Hydrogels do not outright regenerate knee cartilage but provide a long-term regenerative solution. There are options people.
@@JenFabel-po6mp Regarding the keyword 'partially,' is there a concern about degradation? There are treatments you might expect to be more popular but aren't, such as that Italian procedure for stretch marks, for example.
I think its disengenuois to say cartiledge doesnt regrow. As it can obviously be strengthened and it does repair. When bones are broken cartiledge is one of the first things formed during healing. So cartiledge can be grown in the body. What is accurate is one cartiledge is gone from a space and that space is bone on bone. There will be no regrowth of cartiledge. Being under and over active and not warming up our cartilage surfaces with low impact exercise will reduce the life of the cartilage as its putting more wear and tear than if you did proper warmups.
“Standard of Care” - oh yeah, written by the Rockefeller who took over the medical and drug system in this country in this country in the 50’s. Don’t get me wrong, DC are good but many still operate under the notion of the Rockefeller dictum. My x-rays show improvement in cartilage after doing a series of things to help rather than hinder.
Regenerating cartilage like a salamander is a buzz worthy statement, but that shouldn’t discount the ability of non-surgical and non-pharmacological treatments to significantly improve or reverse symptoms over time. What’s the alternative? Doctors will suggest cortisone shots and nsaid’s as the first line of defense, which may accelerate cartilage degeneration. You can then get micro fracture surgery which inflicts more damage to your cartilage to get an average of 2-5 years of relief. The more modern surgeries to fix cartilage are all unproven and don’t last much longe than that either. And that all puts you on the path to fusion, replacements, or amputation. If you instead address muscle imbalances that might be putting pressure on your joints, maintain a joint-friendly exercise routine, manage stress, sleep, and eat well, you can have a better outcome then surgery. You just have to be patient, consistent and set your expectations to measure progress over years and not weeks or months. While limited, cartilage does have regenerative properties. It’s made up of chondrocytes, which are cells that maintain and repair the cartilage. Nutrition is delivered and waste is removed by the synovial fluid. If you’re active and provide stimulus through exercising, cartilage gets more nutrition, ultimately leading to denser and more resilient cartilage. I also think regenerative therapies like stem cells should not be discounted. Children have an increased ability to heal and adapt compared to adults because they have a higher concentration of growth factors, so putting more growth factors in adults might do the same? Side effects are a concern of course though. (I'm not an expert and don't have a background in medicine)
Platelet rich plasma basically take your own blood and soon it to get out the growth factors and then inject it back it… not all prp is created equal though different techniques
I tore a meniscus, had issues with both knees, due to lots of running, and ended up with arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Won't fully recover for six to 12 months. I asked my doctor of decades of sports medicine experience, whether cartilage regrowth was zero, or just painfully slow. His response was ZERO, period. If you're bumping into limits and want to avoid total mechanical knee replacement, you need to conserve what cartilage you have left by avoiding activities that damage it. Including some you may love, like running. Sad but true for a realist. Some go for bone tip drilling that floods the cartilage with blood and builds up cartilage like scar tissue. Others experiment with stem cells. Hopefully the future is better. But it isn't here yet.
It's my understanding from what I've read that it's currently impossible to regrow cartillage, impossible. But collagen can fill it in with scar tissue ~75%-85% as strong (like with skin). But, importantly you need to perform zero impact cyclic moiton at the knee for 10-15 mins regulary (so low resistnace daily static bike cycling) to get synovial fluid to deliver it as there is minimal blood flow at the knee. This also serves to smooth and align the scar tissue with the original cartillage, rather just clumping it on top weakly and eratically, which is what would eventually happen over a longer period of time with no cyclic motion. 10-15g of Collagen 1 hydolisate peptides daily, along with the earlier described daily cyclic motion, should give good strong results over time. What are your views on this?
@@hoboonwheels9289From what I've read, stationary cycling, the elyptical machine, rowing and the leg press would do the same to promote synovial fluid to the knee. Very interesting.
@@misst.e.a.187I have an interesting question. Since, movement can regenerate cartilage in knee. Can movement also regenerate cartilage in neck ( in case of spondylosis)? I believe it can. What do you say? I think that we generally don't move our necks continuously for 15 minutes!!
I am sorry but you are wrong. There are scientific examples of chiropractors that have managed to regenerate spinal discs (which are cartilage). This was demonstrated in the study titled "Degenerative Disc Disease Reversal: Rethinking Human Physiology" by D.M. Meier from 2021: "chiropractic adjustments in order to correct biomechanics and improve nutrient absorption of the intervertebral discs. This resulted in the growth of the degenerated disc, which increased the lateral angle between L5 and S1 by 80% coinciding with freedom of pain, free range of motion and an improvement of autonomic balance. This was documented by full spine X-rays and a pre- and post-scan of the autonomic nervous system. Conclusion: This study shows that growth of intervertebral disc tissue is possible without the use of medication, surgery or cell transplantation and should be the beginning of rethinking functional physiology and the importance of translational medicine."
You are misinterpreting that "research" as it is a case study in Germany showing angles using x-rays, not MRI. Why is so hard for people to understand that we can't grow tails no more than we can grow discs? Go to your chiropractor and ask them to make your discs grow...be my guest. If you buy into it, I'm sure he's going to want the money upfront. This is one of those SMH videos that I thought, "I can't believe people believe this crap." Oh well.
It is proof you can increase disc height - period. There are many other examples of discs increasing in height after years from other certified chiropractors. Argue semantics all you like but increasing the height and hydration of a disc is the same as healing and regenerate the tissue. You don't need an MRI but here it has also been shown that rehydration is possible following dynamic stabilization - up to two degrees on the Pfirmann scale.
@JenFabel-po6mp stop wasting time and go get it done. It’s your life. I can't believe I have to have this conversation. Sometimes, I don't think it's worth it. yeah...go regrow your disc.
@@AdamJStoryDCThanks for speaking up Doctor Adam. I wish more Doctors would speak up about all this misinformation. 100% Cartilage does not regenerate. Any Orthopaedic surgeon will attest to what you are saying. Pointless wasting your time trying to explain this in your comments as many are fixated on what they believe on the internet. I have slight arthritis on my right knee but my specialist said it’s not bad enough for a knee replacement. In NZ National Health pay for our ops. Cheers NZ. Auckland
Depends on the severity of the damage, but it healed mine. I did not buy the program but got excellent results with the youtube videos, who are you refering to?
Hey, huge fan of your videos, but I do want to push back somewhat on this (and I am definitely not a doctor), although I would welcome any reply you have). Now, I don't know who you are specifically referring to when you say someone on TH-cam is saying you can regrow cartilage. I myself have, or had, a bad left knee for years, and it is so much better than it has ever been. I don't specifically know what is happening within my knee, but I'll tell you why it is 90% better than it has ever been. I started eating bone marrow. It was suggested to me as a way to regrow cartilage. Now, I don't know if it actually is regrowing cartilage or not, all I know is that my knee is great now, and it is NOT some placebo. It is literally a night and day difference. I have almost no pain anymore. I do other things too. I do general strength exercises on my bad knee, and I think this has, but eating the bone marrow was a night and day difference for me. In fact, the ironic thing is, I didn't even start bone marrow for this purpose. I was eating it because, my understanding is, it is a healthy source of food to increase white blood cells in the body. But my knee improvement was an unexpected bonus. The person who recommended the bone marrow in the first place then informed my about the cartilage thing. (and I would welcome any reply you have). Also, there's a guy called KneeOverToes on TH-cam who has done miraculous things with his own knees. He has zero pain now, after needing to ice his knees 4 times a day just to get through the day.
Pain relief is great and it's awesome that it helped, however KOTG has improved his strength, mobility and alignment which has resulted in zero pain. For many, dietary changes improve inflammation and healing of tissues. If I take a 90 year old grandma...who has arthritis, and have her exercise and make dietary changes...then she feels 100% pain relief, that doesn't mean that she grew cartilage. Don't confuse pain relief with cartilage growth.
@@AdamJStoryDC Sure, but if I, or KOTG, now have no pain and full mobility of our knees, then why is that even possible without the cartilage, if you see what I mean? Surely, the damaged cartilage in our knees needed to be regrown in order for our knees to now work fully, no?
Thank you so very much for Your dedication to your practice Your dedication to our health and now honesty I totally enjoy your presentations as a subscriber for the last year Thank you
You are probably right about the guy who says you can regrow cartilage by doing the exercises he recommends. But the statement that “if that was possible there would be no knee replacement & hip replacement surgeries” ignores a lot of recent evidence that pharma companies & medical professionals are quick to resort to expensive, and hence profitable, treatments even when other less expensive and better options are available. So yes it’s possible that there are non invasive options for cartilage loss & damage and many surgeries are avoidable. It was not very long back that the entire pharma -medical industry would refuse to acknowledge that Type 2 diabetes is reversible in most cases particularly at an early stage. To say that “if it’s reversible why are so many patients taking metformin” would be disingenuous.
You say "possible that there are non invasive options for cartilage loss & damage" but that doesn't mean that you can "grow" cartilage by taking xyz supplement or a stretch/exercise. Since there is a small % of people that will believe anything, that's why you keep hearing that "Do this and regrow your knee cartilage."
thank you for your honest response. i have just been told i have no ankle cartilage left and my only options are replacement/fusion. is there any other way I don’t have to? my function is my life, my job, my passion. if there is any advice help you can give to help me avoid these please help. i am 40 years old former athlete. thank you ❤
Do you think that multiple rounds of umbilical cord stem cells would regrow it? or do you think it's a waste of money? I had one round of injections and it took my knee pain from about a 9 to now it's a 5. My knee pain isn't gone but it's not as bad as it was. So I'm asking myself do I do it again, or bite the bullet and get a full knee replacement. FYI I'm 40 years old (former college athlete)
@@AdamJStoryDC well the stem cells actually did help. The question is, if I do enough of them, can I actually regrow my cartilage back. If I do a full knee replacement, there's no reversing it. So I will prob do another round of stem cells and if it doesn't work then I have no choice but to have my knees replaced
As someone living in daily pain from injury it’s very encouraging to hear of your story. I have a friend for whom a stem cell treatments to his knee was also very beneficial. I’d be very interested in learning how your second treatment goes for you.
@@lance_161240 years old is way too young to have a total knee replacement. No, do not do it. Alter your diet and get rid of ALL inflammatory foods, stationary cycle for 15 minutes most mornings at moderate tension. Low impact exercise (walk, swim, cycle), ice/heat afterwards. Injections are okay, just don’t get the too often (twice yearly) because they deteriorate cartilage over time. Take glucosamine/chondroitin supplements. Massage with organic castor oil in glass jar. Complete knee surgery is not the answer. Try these natural things combined and closely monitor your results. I’m no doctor, but I’m a former athlete. I’ve avoided surgery and I’m so glad I did! I literally changed my mind while getting prepped for surgery. Best decision I made. I was also in my 40’s. I hope this helps you greatly. ❤
any advice for a VERY active .. walk 10+ a day.. but walk up and down 4 flights of stairs numerous times a day and my knees are not happy 🥹… i’m turned 65 😏…🙏
It's exactly the same as the guy on youtube that promotes his own hernia belt and regime of exercises that is supposed to repair an Inguinal Hernia without surgery. If you follow his advice you will make the rip in your abdominal that much worse, in fact it can lead to life threatening strangulated hernia. TH-cam should ban people that give advice that may lead to further injury or even death.
For years, I've read and watched videos on people claiming glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM can regrow cartilage. That's what we're told and shown. So after religiously taking the above along with multivitamins, I'm still waiting for a miracle although I've read and keep reading how certain people swear by the above and that they no longer suffer with pain and stiffness throughout their bodies. This might be the case or temporary relief OR it could be just another selling gimmick that people like me keep falling for. And there are others who say, if you don't try it, you won't feel the benefits. I say, for how long. How long is long enough. 🙏👍 Love the videos Doc, prefer videos like these. 👍
People can experience relief of symptoms without cartilage regrowth, be sure that is clearly understood and differentiated. Slowing down loss of cartilage and engaging in health promoting practices can indeed provide relief. There is a reason that there is a name for the placebo effect, that is because it is real. It has long been recognized in medicine and science that if a person believes in what they are doing, if they are invested, focused, dedicated to improvement, healing, relief etc that they will experience more benefit from their efforts than a person who is not. Reporting relief from pain and stiffness is not the same as reporting re-growth of cartilage.
@@rowanmulvey8632 What a nice reply. But how to live with knee osteoarthirits? Getting up after sitting downil is a big task. Using toilets is another big task. How to find pain relief? Can you please suggest? Thank You 😊
I have a hard time believing that human wearable parts are unable to regrow, like the skin for example. There must some kind of factor thats hinders the regrowth, like mass inflammation or some kind auto immune local phenomena.
To be fair , I think most people just want to feel well. And many don’t want to be on a bunch of medications or feel like they’re having 0 luck with their doctors.
The fact that cartilage doesn't regrow is sad. But the fact that if there was ever discovered a peptide of some form that would be cheap to produce, could not be patented and would trigger a regenerative response from the cartilage then they would quickly suppress and discredit such treatments, is even more sad.
It's sad, but we can't "regrow" new body parts. If we lose an arm, we can't regrow it either, so it's not surprise that we can't regrow new cartilage. It doesn't mean we can't help people with the problem...it just means we can't spontaneously regenerate new parts. Thanks for watching and subbing.
@AdamJStoryDC Yes. Perhaps I should have worded it better. I was not referring to supernatural Wolverine type healing abilities, but of the body's ability to regrow itself around partially injured areas in the initial phase. I'm not versed on the subject, but I know this ability varies among individuals and can sometimes be encouraged by things like steroids, PRP etc.
You are wrong it’s literally been shown if you eat healthy and go on a Mediterranean diet it regrows cartilage… you sir know nothing and have been brainwashed
Isn't anyone watching these videos? I notice in the statistics of the videos and the people that watch them, that they don't watch the videos, just comment based upon the thumbnail and title.
You should ask those that say we grow new cartilage: "Why is it when the cartilage gets destroyed in the knee, hip, etc that we just don't grow it back, rather than have to have joint replacements?" The answer is important.
It’s impossible to grow a tail. Just stating some facts here for 2024. Maybe in 150 years we’ll regrow our tailbone into a tail, but currently it’s impossible.
Bullshit I say. If thousands of people are regrowing cartilage, then why don't YOU do it? Next time your parents are diagnosed with arthritis of the hip, knee, spine, fingers or whatever, tell the doctor that they can regrow the cartilage. Do your own research and watching a TH-camr sell you a product isn't "research." Use common sense.
thank you so much for your advice… it’s so so appreciated … i look at some of the claims and wonder how people can be so gullible .. ie… a botox cream you can rub into your skin and five minutes later you go from a wrinkly 60+ to the skin of a 20 yr old 😧… please 😂
Your not able to think outside of your bubble therefore you‘ll remain stuck. Thousends of people claim they regrew and show their pictures. Something is there. I‘m working in your field too and I was 100% confident that it‘s impossible. Now I just say: ‚so far it was seen as impossible but there are people who say it‘s possible.‘ I don‘t label them as ridiculous idiots like you do. Even if they where wrong I wouldn‘t do that. This video said alot about you buddy. Did you recognize that?

@@AdamJStoryDC well the stem cells actually did help. The question is, if I do enough of them, can I actually regrow my cartilage back. If I do a full knee replacement, there's no reversing it. So I will prob do another round of stem cells and if it doesn't work then I have no choice but to have my knees replaced
As someone living in daily pain from injury it’s very encouraging to hear of your story. I have a friend for whom a stem cell treatments
to his knee was also very beneficial. I’d be very interested in learning how your second treatment goes for you.
@@lance_161240 years old is way too young to have a total knee replacement. No, do not do it. Alter your diet and get rid of ALL inflammatory foods, stationary cycle for 15 minutes most mornings at moderate tension. Low impact exercise (walk, swim, cycle), ice/heat afterwards. Injections are okay, just don’t get the too often (twice yearly) because they deteriorate cartilage over time. Take glucosamine/chondroitin supplements. Massage with organic castor oil in glass jar. Complete knee surgery is not the answer. Try these natural things combined and closely monitor your results. I’m no doctor, but I’m a former athlete. I’ve avoided surgery and I’m so glad I did! I literally changed my mind while getting prepped for surgery. Best decision I made. I was also in my 40’s.
I hope this helps you greatly. ❤
@@lance_1612The following supplements regenerate

any advice for a VERY active .. walk 10+ a day.. but walk up and down 4 flights of stairs numerous times a day and my knees are not happy 🥹… i’m turned 65 😏…🙏
How are you now?
It's exactly the same as the guy on youtube that promotes his own hernia belt and regime of exercises that is supposed to repair an Inguinal Hernia without surgery. If you follow his advice you will make the rip in your abdominal that much worse, in fact it can lead to life threatening strangulated hernia. TH-cam should ban people that give advice that may lead to further injury or even death.
I wish. I have kept my knees going by continuing to use them. I would love it if we could regrow cartilage 😱
For years, I've read and watched videos on people claiming glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM can regrow cartilage. That's what we're told and shown. So after religiously taking the above along with multivitamins, I'm still waiting for a miracle although I've read and keep reading how certain people swear by the above and that they no longer suffer with pain and stiffness throughout their bodies. This might be the case or temporary relief OR it could be just another selling gimmick that people like me keep falling for. And there are others who say, if you don't try it, you won't feel the benefits. I say, for how long. How long is long enough.
🙏👍 Love the videos Doc, prefer videos like these. 👍
People either "swear" by you, or "swear" at you.
People can experience relief of symptoms without cartilage regrowth, be sure that is clearly understood and differentiated. Slowing down loss of cartilage and engaging in health promoting practices can indeed provide relief. There is a reason that there is a name for the placebo effect, that is because it is real. It has long been recognized in medicine and science that if a person believes in what they are doing, if they are invested, focused, dedicated to improvement, healing, relief etc that they will experience more benefit from their efforts than a person who is not. Reporting relief from pain and stiffness is not the same as reporting re-growth of cartilage.
@@rowanmulvey8632 What a nice reply. But how to live with knee osteoarthirits? Getting up after sitting downil is a big task. Using toilets is another big task. How to find pain relief? Can you please suggest? Thank You 😊
I have a hard time believing that human wearable parts are unable to regrow, like the skin for example. There must some kind of factor thats hinders the regrowth, like mass inflammation or some kind auto immune local phenomena.
Cartilage isn't skin. Lot's of tissues don't regrow once they're damaged. Brain - once you have a massive stroke, you can't grow a new brain.
Thanks for calling out the BS on Ytube!!! Sadly ppl will throw $$$ away bc they Want to believe certain junk!😮
To be fair , I think most people just want to feel well. And many don’t want to be on a bunch of medications or feel like they’re having 0 luck with their doctors.
stem cells and PRP can help regrow cartilage
You should get it done and see what happens. I hope you have a lot of 💰💰💰💰💰💰
The fact that cartilage doesn't regrow is sad. But the fact that if there was ever discovered a peptide of some form that would be cheap to produce, could not be patented and would trigger a regenerative response from the cartilage then they would quickly suppress and discredit such treatments, is even more sad.
It's sad, but we can't "regrow" new body parts. If we lose an arm, we can't regrow it either, so it's not surprise that we can't regrow new cartilage. It doesn't mean we can't help people with the problem...it just means we can't spontaneously regenerate new parts. Thanks for watching and subbing.
@AdamJStoryDC Yes. Perhaps I should have worded it better. I was not referring to supernatural Wolverine type healing abilities, but of the body's ability to regrow itself around partially injured areas in the initial phase. I'm not versed on the subject, but I know this ability varies among individuals and can sometimes be encouraged by things like steroids, PRP etc.
You are wrong it’s literally been shown if you eat healthy and go on a Mediterranean diet it regrows cartilage… you sir know nothing and have been brainwashed
I have a knee pain for 3 years and am tired of seeing different doctors and know changes
3 years and you haven’t got an mri?
I regrow new cartilage all over my body with diet and exercise alone. No surgery no pharmakia
Isn't anyone watching these videos? I notice in the statistics of the videos and the people that watch them, that they don't watch the videos, just comment based upon the thumbnail and title.
I was told that cartilage can regrow but the process is very slow.
So don't get your hopes too high and take care of your knees.
You should ask those that say we grow new cartilage: "Why is it when the cartilage gets destroyed in the knee, hip, etc that we just don't grow it back, rather than have to have joint replacements?" The answer is important.
@@AdamJStoryDCThis guy regenerated his hip cartilage

Impossible is a word that must be erased from science.
It’s impossible to grow a tail. Just stating some facts here for 2024. Maybe in 150 years we’ll regrow our tailbone into a tail, but currently it’s impossible.
Well clearly you’ve not done research. There are thousands of people who have regrown cartilage. So there u go.
Bullshit I say. If thousands of people are regrowing cartilage, then why don't YOU do it? Next time your parents are diagnosed with arthritis of the hip, knee, spine, fingers or whatever, tell the doctor that they can regrow the cartilage. Do your own research and watching a TH-camr sell you a product isn't "research." Use common sense.
You underestimate the human evolution
What a ridiculous statement.
Re-GROWING new cartilage? YUK-YUK-YUK! Salamanders? No wonder I have been crawling in the fields looking for crickets. 😂😂
thank you so much for your advice… it’s so so appreciated … i look at some of the claims and wonder how people can be so gullible .. ie… a botox cream you can rub into your skin and five minutes later you go from a wrinkly 60+ to the skin of a 20 yr old 😧… please 😂
Glad it was helpful!
Your not able to think outside of your bubble therefore you‘ll remain stuck.
Thousends of people claim they regrew and show their pictures. Something is there. I‘m working in your field too and I was 100% confident that it‘s impossible. Now I just say: ‚so far it was seen as impossible but there are people who say it‘s possible.‘
I don‘t label them as ridiculous idiots like you do.
Even if they where wrong I wouldn‘t do that. This video said alot about you buddy. Did you recognize that?
I don’t believe you. You can’t even spell. I think you’re just a troll.
My doctor told me catelage can't grow back
What did the video say? (I made it a long time ago).
even Monty Python worked this out: "It'll just grow back again, will it?"

What about stem cells...???
