PRP injections work. I had one done on my leg years ago for tendinitis. Physiotherapy wasn't helping. The tendon was severely inflamed and thickened considerably. Within a few of the injection, the pain and symptoms cleared up. They never came back. PRP and stem cell injections are pretty routine in Canada now. Pretty much all sports/health clinics provide them fie patients. They aren't covered by public healthcare/private insurance, though.

@@masteronionnorth2341 Hi, this is Dr. E’s team here! 🧑‍⚕️ So glad PRP worked for you! It’s great to see how these therapies are becoming more common, especially in Canada🙌

[@886maryrose]

Love this talk. Be reading about stem cells therapy for years. So happy someone is a mover and shaker in this approach.

Chemo was horrible for me. I was allergic to the chemo and the doctors did not even think of giving me a different chemo

25:08 So true what Dr. Joy said about the doctors. It’s a shame they are too worried about staying with in protocols to protect themselves that they are not being doctors, which is to heal their patient.

@@bendungee1669 Hi, this is Dr. E’s team here! 🧑‍⚕️Dr. E often discusses how protocols can sometimes limit the personalized care patients need. Her approach is all about getting to the root of the problem and focusing on true healing🙌

[@bendungee1669]

@@DrEfratLaMandre I agree. Dr. Joy does help so many people with their problems. She’s also into nutrition which I think is the most important thing people need to do to get healthy. If you are going to get stem cells, you might as well work with your body not against it with food to heal.

[@bendungee1669]

37:48 There has been extensive research, but the problem is that this research is reluctantly allowed to the public. Dr. Joy is correct that you don’t want to expand the cells. These other clinics have to change their approach and learn that it’s not the amount of cells. If you have 100 million cells that fix a particular problem, ask this question. Do you want the 100 million to form inside the body or outside the body in the proper environment? Don’t waste its potency and potential outside the body.

I left my conventional dr because she told me I had to get covid vaccines because she almost died with covid. I had an adverse reaction to the first vaccine and the Health and Hospital told me not to get another vaccine. My ex doctor said she didn't care or heard about my adverse reaction.

[@nurseolivo2]

Dr E. I know I am late but I have a question for you. Us that have RA, chronic pain, chronic inflammation can we have this stem cell therapy done and then be ok?

[@bendungee1669]

Yes, this can correct or fix your RA, until these new stem cells are used up. You should check your diet, which is usually the big culprit in RA.

[@nurseolivo2]

@@bendungee1669 can you explain what you mean about “until the new stem cell are used up”? Do we not make new stem cells?

[@nurseolivo2]

And by the way. I’m on a very strict diet for RA. And thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I really do appreciate it.

[@bendungee1669]

@@nurseolivo2 Just as Dr. Joy was explaining that you have less stem cells as we get older, and the older they are their function declines due to other parts of your body not working as efficiently as before. When your whole body is working the way it should, it’s amazing how a person can feel.

[@bendungee1669]

@@nurseolivo2 Your welcome. I have been studying this for over 10 years now. I hope this helped and if you really want know more I can point you into things to look at.

[@nurseolivo2]

So if you have this procedure does insurance pay for it?

[@bendungee1669]

Unfortunately, insurance doesn’t cover this to date.

[@nurseolivo2]

I wonder how much it cost? Maybe a range of the cost. I know iit may very between doctor to doctor.

[@bendungee1669]

@@nurseolivo2 It’s expensive, but everything is relative. From your personal finances, to getting seriously sick and having this huge medical bill you weren’t expecting and so forth. Cost here in the USA is more expensive than outside of the USA. You also need to know about the different procedures on Stem Cells that these clinics do on R/D, processing, viability of the cells, viruses and bacteria and too much to mention here. Some of the clinics are better in the USA, like Dr. Joy, but these too are dated in their technique. For RA $2k to 8K for the knees.

17:44 Just so people know Functional Medicine is not a new branch of medicine, the name is new, but it’s what was used before Western Medicine dominated holistic medicine. Also, Stem cell therapy is not new just new to some doctors doing it for the past 10 years and the public hearing more about it.

[@DrEfratLaMandre]

@@bendungee1669 Hi, this is Dr. E’s team here! 🧑‍⚕️ Thank you for your comment! You’re absolutely right-functional medicine takes a more holistic approach, which has been around for a long time
