Episode Highlights:

[10:23 ] What Are Stem Cells?

Stem cells exist in all tissues of our bodies, responsible for maintaining the health of their microenvironment. When you have an injury of any sort, the stem cells are responsible for the healing response. The vast majority of Harry's experience is using stem cells from people's own bodies. These are stem cells from the bone marrow combined with cells from the fat and combined with new, very small embryonic-like stem cells that have been recently discovered in the blood.

[14:07 ] The Effect of Stem Cells on Aging

The only thing that has been proven to reverse aging is large doses of stem cells. A landmark study conducted by Joshua Hare and two other researchers found that people who got 100 million stem cells reversed all six of the categories of frailty associated with aging. Interestingly, when they did doses of 200 million, it didn't work as well as it did with the 100 million.

[17:48 ] How Long the Effect of Stem Cells Lasts

Dr. Adelson expects to hear back from his patients anywhere from two to eight years, and an average of four or five years. Stem cell treatment doesn’t work the same for everybody. While about 20% of the people he has treated at the one-year mark showed significant improvement, there is about 10% to 12% of the people they treat where the stem cells don't help at all.

[19:03 ] Other Uses of Stem Cells

Stem cells have been used for the treatment of back pain, joint pain, and neck pain. It can also be used on the skin of the face to improve the elasticity and hydration of the skin. Stem cells can be used for the scalp to thicken the hair follicles. It won't cause you to grow new hair, but it cuts down the amount of gray hair in half.  Stem cells can also help treat erectile dysfunction and improve the elasticity of the vaginal walls.
