But it wasn’t a simple, straightforward journey. Let me explain... [mimi] Mimi, a competitive ballroom dancer, overcame crippling arthritis thanks to a combination of regenerative therapies, including stem cells. Since arriving in the U.S. from Monaco, Mimi has led an impressively active life. In addition to a career in architecture and interior design, she made time for her two passions: horseback riding and ballroom dancing. She even danced competitively, earning numerous awards in both America and Europe. But agonizing arthritis in her shoulders and knees started to keep her from doing what she loved most. In fact, her arthritis was getting so bad she could barely dress herself without help from her husband. She tried “numerous” pain-management therapies, including cortisone shots. But nothing helped. Soon the pain was back worse than before. Mimi started researching alternatives and read about the life-changing benefits of stem cell therapy. She immediately knew it was exactly what she needed. But her traditionally trained doctor couldn’t give her the treatment she wanted. So Mimi traveled to the Caribbean for treatment. After receiving a single injection in one of her knees, the physician she saw told her she was good to go. But Mimi found herself unable to stand up. Her knee swelled and she passed out. She ended up leaving what turned out to be a fake stem cell clinic in a wheelchair. “The pain was incredible,” she said. “It was the biggest mistake I ever made.” But Mimi refused to give up. Within months of arriving back in Florida, she started reading my newsletter. She learned how stem cells can help restore mobility, energy, and independence – and how additional treatments like hyperbaric oxygen therapy and blue light therapy can make stem cells even stronger. So Mimi booked an appointment at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine and made the two-hour trip from Naples. Upon arrival, we injected stem cells in both her shoulders and knees. Of course, this time, Mimi didn’t leave in a wheelchair. There was no swelling. It didn’t even hurt. And she noticed a difference right away. Immediately after treatment, Mimi was able to dress herself without pain. For the first time in years, she was able to reach back and fix her own zipper. And for someone who values her independence as much as Mimi does, that was like a breath of fresh air. “I don’t like anybody doing anything for me,” she admits. The next day, Mimi was climbing stairs comfortably. Her husband even told me that she was running around “like a 3-year-old.” And things continue to improve. “I see progress happening every single day,” Mimi reports. She’s back to her ballroom dancing and even has plans to begin riding again. Tap into your body’s natural painkillers At the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging, we’ve had incredible success helping patients get back to doing all the activities they love. Here are the regenerative therapies that helped Mimi get back on her feet: - Stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapy has been used successfully to treat patients like Mimi with chronic joint pain and osteoarthritis. That’s because stem cells are your body’s master cells. They can be transformed into virtually every cell type. They also release anti-inflammatory factors that help heal and lessen pain. When they are injected into a joint, some studies show they may help relieve pain, swelling, and loss of movement. As a regenerative cell therapy for arthritis, stem cells help regenerated new cartilage.1 The studies back this up. In a recent study, researchers transplanted bone marrow stem cells into patients who failed to respond to traditional pain therapy. After just six months, patients reported that their intense pain was reduced by a whopping 62% — while their ability to be more mobile increased by 48%.2 Stem cell therapy harvests healthy cells from your own body and reintroduces them at the point of injury. I believe this is the future of modern medicine. This therapy uses what your own body provides to initiate your natural healing and repair system. - Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). As a regular reader, you know that HBOT therapy is one of the most effective regenerative therapies that exist today. HBOT provides lifesaving treatment for numerous chronic conditions, ranging from diabetes and stroke to spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease. But we are the only clinic that combines stem cell therapy with hyperbaric oxygen to provide up to 800% more healing power. When you use HBOT and stem cell therapy together, you ramp up the number of activated stem cells in your bloodstream. These then go to work with “turbo-charged” healing power on the parts of your body that need repair. In one study, researchers gave a series of 20 HBOT treatments to 18 people. Following just one two-hour treatment, stem cells increased by 50%. And after the full 20 HBOT treatments, stem cells increased by 800%.3 But with an increased oxygen supply after HBOT, your body develops a stronger response to chronic pain and injury.4 It’s a total body healing experience. - Low-light laser therapy. I help my patients end arthritis pain with a drug-free therapy called non-invasive, low-light laser therapy. It works for both acute and chronic pain. Laser therapy combats pain by stimulating cells to reduce inflammation and speed up healing. The studies back it up. In one study, 30 patients with chronic pain were divided into a laser group and a placebo group. Both groups underwent treatment three times a week for four weeks. Researchers used pain questionnaires and thermography to evaluate the patients. They concluded pain intensity was “significantly reduced” in patients receiving laser therapy. Additional research found that the relapse rate in patients who had laser therapy compared to a control group was significantly lower after a six-month follow-up evaluation. Low-light laser therapy also improves the circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the area, further eliminating pain. If you are ready to rediscover your independence, comfort, and vitality using these regenerative therapies, please call my clinic at 561-784-7852. My staff is waiting to hear from you.
