Fantastic information, thank you for this great interview. I can say that I have seen the action of stem cells on athletes with partial tendon tears with amazing results. And by amazing, I am talking about the ability of the athlete to return back into the sport in less than half the normal amount of time. These are results where the "tear" was seen on video, during a live event, the damage was clear and obvious, the post tear bruising was clear and obvious. And we see that post stem cell injection, these athletes repaired quickly and were able to return much faster than I have ever witnessed without such therapy. I am not aware of actual incidences of side effects, however, we must be cognizant that any foreign body cells that are injected into your own body, will result in a chimera effect to some degree. That means that if any of those cells contain any genetic defects, or environmental susceptibilities, that person that receives those stem cells will now have cells that have those issue in their body. We may not see the effects for decades... but we know eventually some of these people may end up having issues with the stem cells just as anyone with a transplant.
Marc - Thanks for your kind works. Also, thanks for relating what you've seen with athletes and stem cells. It's my understanding that Dr. Prodromos uses a persons own fat to grow their stem cells. So, what's put into one's body isn't foreign to it. Good point, though, about procedures that don't use one's own stem cells.
@@cuttingedgehealthpodcast Ah, their own Fat cells. In that case they will not have exactly the same issues, you are correct. It is always important to try to make sure anyone going thru a procedure is aware of the potential for side effects, more importantly, the most frequent and most important side effects should be considered. If one is using their own cells, then the risk is still present but it won't be chimeric. Converting a cell back to a less differentiated cell line still has a risk that the genetic material has damage. To explain further, we see this problem with "clones". While scientists are able to take a cell and use a cell to make clones of a body in different animals, only a very very few of the cells are able to do that because of defects that are not seen until the cell tried to do something "else", like make a whole body. So, a Skin cell might be fine as a skin cell, but perhaps it has some damage to some other section of DNA that it is not currently using. It doesn't matter, because the Skin cell doesn't need it. But, when transformed into something that can literally become a clone, it has to run all the code... and that's when the problems show up. Obviously, I am very impressed with stem cell therapy. I just want people to be aware of the potential issues. I think it's great that Dr. Prodromos is utilizing stem cells procured from the fat cells because it does sort of render the issue of chimerism a moot point, but long term, the other issue will still be something to be aware of. This is a really exciting time!
I would like to see an interview that has an independent way thinking that isn’t biased to stems
Yes please business 101 , love your content, always clear , Awsome tip you have a great smile 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you! 😊 So glad you enjoyed the content. Your feedback means a lot!

@@marcfruchtman9473 Thanks, Marc, for sharing all this! Fascinating and exciting times we're living in.
I stopped listening when I heard him say the FDA are wonderful people who protect us.
