On this edition of the show, Getting stem 15 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: Cells in Panama My Weird Adventure Now. I I'm always 16 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: hesitant to talk about health on this show, but I'm 17 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: not a doctor. I'm not a medical professional of any kind. 18 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Don't take anything I say as medical advice. But I 19 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: recently went through a very strange and sort of groundbreaking 20 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: experience I want to share with you I'm okay talking 21 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: to you about some of my own health issues, because 22 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: we all have health issues, whether you know it or not. 23 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: You know, there's a great song by Hank Williams called 24 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: I'll Never get out of this world alive. So don't 25 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: mean to be depressing here, but I mean, you know, 26 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: no matter what you do, we all do have to 27 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: get older and break down and eventually die. And so 28 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: along the journey you have health issues and you figure 29 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: out how to deal with them and make yourself as 30 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: comfortable as possible so that you can enjoy your life 31 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: while you're here. But I'm only talking about this particular case, 32 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: and I promised you I would tell you this story 33 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: at some point. I'm talking about this and taking up 34 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: your time with it because I have been a guinea 35 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: pig for a pioneering treatment that may help you someday, 36 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: and I want to give you my honest results so 37 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: far regarding my personal experience with this strange new medical technology. 38 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: I finished up my treatment about two months ago. I 39 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: am recording this in July of twenty twenty six, and 40 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: so I can just tell you where I am at 41 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: this point and what my experience has been like and 42 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: what it's done for me. I'll give you those results 43 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: a bit later on. So let me explain to you 44 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: first off, why I decided to go and get these 45 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: stem cells. And I had to go to the country 46 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: of Panama down there on the border of South America, 47 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: because this particular procedure is not approved by the FDA 48 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: here in the United States. There are some very limited 49 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: trials going on that you may or may not able 50 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: to be able to apply to as far as I 51 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: can understand, but this is not something that's readily available. 52 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: And what I got are human umbilical cord misinkable stem cells. 53 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: This is not embryonic stem cells. This is not like 54 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: where you're going in and you know, people get concerned 55 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: about the idea of boarding a baby. No, no, this 56 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: is taking an umbilical cord when a baby is born, 57 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: the cord that attaches the mother to the child, and 58 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: they usually go in the garbage. So you can either 59 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: throw it in the garbage, or you could take some 60 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: of the sales out of it and use this for 61 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: stem cell infusions. I'll explain a little bit more about 62 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: the tactical stuff later, but first, in my case, I 63 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: will be fifty years old. This year, and about five 64 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: or six years ago, I started experiencing a lot of 65 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: sort of spontaneous random soreness and inflammation and various joints 66 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: of my body, especially around my fingers. That's where it 67 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: really started, my fingers. Then it moved to other places, 68 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: and it was kind of unpredictable. I'd wake up in 69 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: the morning and I'd have searing pain and certain joints, 70 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: and then I started becoming very fatigued. Or I'd sleep 71 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: eight hours and it felt like I hadn't slept at all. 72 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Then I'd sleep for twelve hours and it still felt 73 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: like I hadn't slept at all. I said, what's going 74 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: on here? I went to see my doctor and he 75 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: ran some tests and then sent me to another doctor, 76 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: and finally they said, you have rheumatoid arthritis. Now, let 77 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: me explain something to you. I didn't know exactly what 78 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: rheumatoid arthritis was, and I bet most of you don't either. 79 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 1: When you hear the word arthritis, you think about somebody 80 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: who's getting older and they're saying, oh, my joint's hurt, 81 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: my bone's hurt. That's called osteoarthritis, and that is the 82 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: product of natural wear and tear as you get older 83 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: and your body just wears out. That's what causes that 84 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: typical kind of soreness. Rheumatoid arthritis is something completely different 85 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: and frankly, much worse. Because rheumatoid arthritis I don't even 86 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: like the fact that it has the word arthritis in there, 87 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: because that confuses people and when you say you have 88 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: rheumatoid arthritis, they just think you're complaining about your achy bones. No, 89 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: rheumatoid arthritis is a genetic autoimmune condition. You're born with it, 90 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: so there's nothing you can do about it. And this 91 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: not only causes these spontaneous flare ups of joint pain, 92 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: but also it attacks all the systems of your body. 93 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: It can attack your eyes, your lungs, your heart, your 94 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: gastrointestinal system. It's a systematic inflammation and as time goes on, 95 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: it will progress, and it is incurable. It doesn't always 96 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: have to progress. You can it's a little different for everybody, 97 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: but you can sort of learn a way of treating 98 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: it and manage it the best you can. But there's 99 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: no cure for it. And so when you know, when 100 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: I was told I had this, I mean the doctors 101 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: kind of gave me that look like don't don't du 102 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: du du, and so I wasn't sure what to expect, 103 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: but they were right. Over the past five or six years, 104 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: it is, I've had more and more of these flare 105 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: ups of soreness, a lot more fatigue, and eventually, if 106 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: it goes totally untreated, then it can actually start causing 107 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: you know, deformities. You might end up in a wheelchair. 108 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: I mean, there are all kinds of extreme things that 109 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: can happen. So I've been, you know, doing my best 110 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: to look at options for treatment. And one thing that 111 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: I've had my eye on for years is the new 112 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: groundbreaking stem cell infusions that are being done, especially in 113 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: some other countries. And I've read a lot of books 114 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: about this. I have watched tons of presentations on YouTube, 115 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: and I have seen celebrities talking about what they've done, 116 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: and everybody kind of agrees that if you're going to 117 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: go get a stem cell treatment, the best place to 118 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: go get it is this place in Panama City, Panama 119 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: called stem Cell Institute. Now, just to sort of like 120 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: recap a little bit for you about what I'm even 121 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: talking about, you go to the Mayo Clinic. There's a 122 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: page it says one are stem cells. It says stem 123 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: cells are a special type of cells that have two 124 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: important properties. They're able to make more cells like themselves, 125 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: that is, the self renew and they can become other 126 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: cells that do different things in a process known as differentiation. 127 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: Stem cells are found in almost all tissues of the body, 128 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: and they are needed for the maintenance of tissue as 129 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: well as for the repair of tissue after injury. There 130 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: are various types of stem cells, and I'm not going 131 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: to get too technical on you here. You can read 132 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: all this for yourself, but it says stem cells are 133 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: the body's master cells. All other cells arise from stem cells, 134 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: including blood cells, nerve cells, and other cells. So in 135 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: other words, as you get older, your cells get older, 136 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: and your cells start becoming weak and kind of you know, 137 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: dye off, and so you can replace, however, some of 138 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: your cells with these fresh brand spanking news stem cells 139 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: from an umbilical cord from the start of a new life, 140 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: and they have the ability to go in and automatically 141 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: target areas of your body where there may be a problem, 142 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: where there's some kind of inflammation or whatever, and then 143 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: start helping the body to repair that and you know, 144 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: there are some stem cell treatments in the US that 145 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: are available where you go in and they they'll take 146 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: some stem cells out of one part of your body 147 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: and put it to another part of your body, and 148 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: that has had some success. But one doctor said, this 149 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: is kind of like rearranging the furniture, because it's still 150 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: the You have old stem cells in your old body, 151 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: and so doing that, it's like rearranging the furniture. Wouldn't 152 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: you rather have brand new furniture that's what works the best. 153 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, I like brand new furniture brand 154 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: new stem cells. So whatever damage over time this inflammation 155 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: does to your body, the idea is that they can 156 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: inject these stem cells into you from umbilical cords and 157 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: then they will go in and they'll find these areas 158 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: to help repair whatever damage is done. And they also 159 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: produce this biological substance called MTF. I'll tell you a 160 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: little bit more about that later, but it's basically a 161 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: bunch of genetic material that also helps accelerate the process 162 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: of the body healing itself. I swear I know enough 163 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: about this now that I feel like I could give 164 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: you a dissertation. But I'm going to try to keep 165 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: this show as simple as possible and tell you more 166 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: about like my experience and my adventure going into Panama, 167 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: on all the weird things I saw down there. But 168 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, there are people celebrities out there, like Joe 169 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: Rogan who has had great success at stem Cell Institute 170 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: and Panama. Mel Gibson raves about it. He especially talks 171 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: about how his father was ninety something years old, went 172 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: down there, got this treatment and after that he was 173 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: like a young man out playing golf and you know, 174 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: lived another ten years or whatever. Tony Robbins the great 175 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: motivational speaker, he's a big proponent of it. Lots of 176 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 1: celebrities go down there. These are people who have the 177 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: money and the resources to do whatever they want and 178 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: you know, access to whatever they want, and they rave 179 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: about this place. Stem Cell Institute's been in business for 180 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: twenty years. They've done over eighty thousand procedures down there, 181 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: and you know, the government just fosters it. And the 182 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: reviews are just rave for this place. So I said, 183 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: all right, fine, I'm going to go down there to 184 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: Panama City, Panama, down there where the Panama Canal is, 185 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: and I'm going to get these stem cell infusions. But 186 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: while I'm there, you know, I'm going to check out 187 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: Panama and it turned out to be yeah, just an 188 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: interesting and odd trip. So stick around and I'll tell 189 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: you in a condensed way all I can about it. 190 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: If you want to hear super details. I did put 191 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: together a page a website with hours and hours of 192 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: me talking about this in detail. And this is for somebody. 193 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: If you're like interested in having this done yourself, you 194 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: might want to listen to that version of things. That 195 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: web page is stem cell result dot com. That's singular 196 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: stem cell result dot com.

Welcome back to Strange 207 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: Things all the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal 208 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: Podcast Network, and your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, 209 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: being me into your worm whole brain from my studio 210 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: in Send City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is 211 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: golden and every night is silver a Gietato Zoom. Now, yes, 212 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: I had read a lot of books about getting stem cells, 213 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: and I had watched all these movies and videos and presentations, 214 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: but I still was like, I don't want to just 215 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: be some guy who's been swept in by propaganda. So 216 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: I went and I talked to my real legitimate doctors, 217 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: talk to my rheumatologists, to talk to my general doctor, 218 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: and both of them said, well, look, this is the 219 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: way of the future. One of my doctors even said, look, 220 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: if I were you, I would do it. And in fact, 221 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: I mean when you go to their website for this 222 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: place in Panama, it's a Sellmedicine dot com. They talk 223 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: about the benefits of stem cell therapy down there, and 224 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: they say that first they're ethically sourced stem cells, that 225 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: there are women in Panama who find out they're pregnant, 226 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: they volunteer to allow the umbilical cord to be taken 227 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: and upon birth, birth has to be via c section. 228 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: They monitor the woman the whole time, make sure that 229 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: she's healthy, and then you know, they take it and 230 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: then they put it through a special examination. And this 231 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: brings us to point number two. They have what they 232 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: call their proprietary golden cells. They say that we are 233 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: a leader. This is not by accident. It says we 234 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: are constantly scanning the horizon for the latest innovations. It's 235 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: this process of self analysis that led us to the 236 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: discovery of our golden cells. After years of treating patients 237 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: with chronic diseases, we noticed that some patients experienced improvement 238 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: beyond that of others. Other patients did experience improvement, but 239 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: it was nowhere near what we saw in these standouts. 240 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: So they looked and they found that there were certain 241 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: traits in certain stem cells that made them more effective. 242 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: The founder of the institute, doctor Neil Reardon, explains, if 243 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: you are picking a basketball team, would you want me 244 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: on your team or Lebron James, possibly the best basketball 245 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: player of all time. We are both humans, but our 246 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: abilities on the court are not equal. It's the same 247 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: with misincamal stem cells. Some perform better than others. That's 248 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: why we've been working to select the best cells for 249 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: use in patients with chronic disease. And then number three, 250 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: they go on to talk about the things that can 251 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: be treated. They're saying that you can treat autism, autoimmune diseases, 252 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: cerebral palsy, frailty of aging, heart failure, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, 253 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: rheumatoid arthritis, sports injuries. Okay, so this is again one 254 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: of the things that supposedly sets them apart. So after 255 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: I talk to my doctors and I was like, Okay, 256 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm ready to try this out. I went to their 257 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: website sellmedicine dot com. I put in an application, and 258 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: they wanted my whole medical background history of course, and 259 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: then they wanted more information, and they kept wanting more 260 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: and more information until I finally had to go and 261 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: schedule a brink new doctor's appointment. Dad my doctor give 262 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: me an up to date exam and fill out a 263 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: report for them, and then they had me talk to 264 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: one of their doctors on the phone, and finally they said, 265 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: we think you're a good candidate, and they accepted me 266 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: to come down there and get a treatment for basically 267 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: a week down there in Panama. This is most likely 268 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: not going to be covered by your insurance company. So 269 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 1: I paid them about thirty thousand dollars out of my 270 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: pocket for this treatment. And you can make payments on 271 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: that if you need to, but the whole thing needs 272 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: to be paid in advance before before the treatment starts. 273 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: And uh, if you want tips on that, I talk 274 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: more about that process at on the website stem cell 275 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: result dot com in part five. But so I figured, 276 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: you know, there are guys who spent thirty thousand dollars 277 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: on whatever, a new motorcycle or or what. I was like, 278 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: I can't think of a better way to spend thirty grand. 279 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: So it's an experiment and let's let's try it out. 280 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: So the package they give you haveever, it does include 281 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: some other stuff. The stem Cell Institute is in a 282 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: giant building in the middle of Panama City. And some 283 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: people say Panama City looks kind of like a miniature Miami, 284 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: and I can see that. You know, it's right on 285 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: the water. It's very beautiful and scenic. And the stem 286 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: Cell Institute is in the same building as this five 287 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: star Hilton hotel. So they put you up for like 288 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: I think, five nights in this five star luxury Hilton 289 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: hotel and which it's got restaurants there, has a casino there, 290 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: so you really never have to leave that property the 291 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: whole time you're there if you don't want to. And 292 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: then when it comes time for your appointments each day, 293 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: you cross the lobby, you get onto an elevator, and 294 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: then you go up to the sixty third floor and 295 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: that's where you find the stem Cell Institute Panama and 296 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: you get your appointment. No appointment was ever longer than 297 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: an hour. It was actually a very easy process. So 298 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: they include transportation from the airport to their facility to 299 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: the hotel, which is about a thirty minute drive get 300 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: they include your room there for the whole time, the 301 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: whole treatment, and then they also include transportation back to 302 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: the airport when you're ready to go home. So it's 303 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 1: a package that has some perks built into it. So 304 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: I made the decision to do this. It was a 305 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: big decision. The application process was more of a pain 306 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: than I was expecting. But long story short, the next 307 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: thing you know, I am on an airplane, and I 308 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: am heading down to Panama City, Panama. It never occurred 309 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: to me that I would ever go to Panama. Just 310 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: never had a desire to go see Panama. Here I 311 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: am on an airplane flying down there. It's funny because 312 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm six foot two and I was I'm 313 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 1: just going to tell you some things that I just 314 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: kind of notes that I took. I find that when 315 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: this is probably ridiculous. I need to ask my friend 316 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: Forrest Connor about this, since he works on airlines. I 317 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: can't stand up straight in an airplane bathroom. Maybe I've 318 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: just never been on a big enough airplane, but I'm 319 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: always sort of hunched over and my hair is brushed 320 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: up against the ceiling, and I'm thinking, can I get 321 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: lice from this? My hair is brushing up where every 322 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: other tall person's hair brushes up. I don't know, But anyway, look, 323 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm on the airplane. It's a nice plane, and you know, Panama, 324 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: it's you know, it takes hours. We actually stopped on 325 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: the way down there for a while in Texas and 326 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: did some stuff, and so I kind of broke up 327 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: the trip. So here we are almost to Panama. I'm 328 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 1: looking out the window and Panama as it begins to appear, 329 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: it's it's it's certainly very steamy. It just kind of 330 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: looks dark and swampy with shiny rivers and creeks and 331 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: waterways sort of snaking all around it. And as a 332 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: matter of fact, Panama has the largest rainforest and the 333 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: hemisphere outside of the Amazon. It gets eight months of 334 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: rain and they have rivers there that rise forty feet 335 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: sometimes when it rains. Amazing. So we landed at the 336 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: airport and everything, let me tell you, everything that the 337 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 1: stem Cell Institute promised was one hundred percent fulfilled. It 338 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: was top notch. There was some as soon as you 339 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: get off the plane, if you need a wheelchair, they'll 340 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: be there to get you in a wheelchair. They have 341 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: a representative right there who meets you. They fast crack 342 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: you through customs and then you go right to the 343 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: van waiting out side before you you get on the van. 344 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: Super nice, articulate guide. Just about everybody I spoke with 345 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: down there spoke perfect English. I think you get outside 346 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: of Panama City, I understand that's not the case. They 347 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: drove me and Lauren right to the hotel. We went 348 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: to the hotel at the front desk. They had a 349 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: packet ready for me that had everything arranged, key cards 350 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: and notes. I went to the room and it was 351 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: a beautiful luxury room with a balcony. I mean, it 352 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: was really really nice. The room was weird, though, And 353 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: that's one thing I'm gonna tell you. Panama is a 354 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: weird country. Now let me preface this by saying, look, 355 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: I was born and raised in the mountains of western 356 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: North Carolina. I'm not the most cultured guy. I'm not 357 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: the international man of mystery that you might think. So 358 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: even if I go to another country, some things just 359 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: seem a little too weird for me. For example, in 360 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: this nice luxury room, the bathroom door was made of 361 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: clear glass, so while you're sitting there doing your business, 362 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: anybody else in the room can sit there and observed. 363 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: Now I now, granted it was just my wife there, 364 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: but she doesn't need to see certain things either. Who 365 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: puts a clear glass door on a bathroom? Right? And 366 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: then you know, I went to the restaurant. After that. 367 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: We were hungry. We went to go to have dinner, 368 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: and we went to this nice restaurant. The prices, by 369 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: the way, were not cheap. You know, maybe if you 370 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: get outside of Panama City of the Art, but it 371 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: was not a cheap place to I bought a caesar salad. 372 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: The caesar salad came out, it was smothered in mayonnaise, 373 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: not caesar dressing, mayonnaise. I'm not kidding you. It was 374 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: so disgusting. I couldn't. I couldn't eat it. I ordered 375 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: a pizza. I said, how can you go wrong with 376 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: the pizza. The pizza came out, didn't have any sauce 377 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: on it, it was all dry. Very quickly, I realized 378 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: the food here is gonna be an issue. And I 379 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 1: hate it when Americans go to other places and they 380 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: don't try to, you know, assimilate into the culture and 381 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: experience things differently. But I'm sorry, I can't. I can't 382 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: eat a salad smothered than mayonnaise. I just, okay, I 383 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: gotta take a break. We'll come back. I'm gonna tell 384 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: you more weird things about being in the country of Panama. 385 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you about my trip to go 386 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: see the Panama Canal, Yes, the famous, world changing historic 387 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: Panama Canal. And then I'll get into you know, what 388 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: it was like to get the stem cell treatments, and then, uh, well, 389 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: what I'm like now two months later a guinea pig 390 00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: for human umbilical cord misinkable stem cell treatment. I'm Joshua 391 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: Pee Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeart 392 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: Radio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and 393 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: I will be back after these important messages. Welcome back 394 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: to Strange Things of the iHeart Radio and Coast to 395 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua Pee Warren, 396 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. 397 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: And I want you to know I did not get 398 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: any special treatment. I did not get any discounts. I'm 399 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: not being sponsored to tell you about this. I'm not 400 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: promoting this, I'm not advocating it. I paid the full 401 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: amount for this, just like I presume anybody else would 402 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: for the same type of process you know that I 403 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: went through. So you know, they, as far as I know, 404 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 1: they didn't even know who I was. I mean, at 405 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: a certain point they asked me what I did for 406 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: a living, and I said that I was a podcaster 407 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: and that was about the end of it. So the 408 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: next day, okay, which was you know, day number two 409 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: that I was there. I got there on a Monday, 410 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: so this would have been Tuesday for the first time. 411 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: We crossed the lobby. We got up, it was about 412 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: noon or whatever. We crossed the lobby, got on the elevator, 413 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: went up to the sixty third floor to the stem 414 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: Cell Institute for my first appointment. When I walked in, 415 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: it was magnificent. It looked like Tony Stark's office. It's 416 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: way high up, huge windows. You look out the window, 417 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: you see this whole city scape before you. You see 418 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: the bay in the background. It looks magnificent, big and 419 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: bright and airy. Everybody was super nice. We didn't wait 420 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: very long. A nurse came, took me back, took my 421 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: height and weight and blood pressure and all that. Took 422 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: me into a little room which also had a magnificent 423 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: view of the whole horizon. So it's a very calming atmosphere. 424 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: I'd love to love to have that be my office. 425 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: And the nurse was very nice, spoke great English. And 426 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: then the doctor came in. He was a young man, 427 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: very intelligent, spoke great English. And those would be the 428 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: two people I would see throughout the entire week. Just 429 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: those two, and they never left you alone. They take 430 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: you into the room and they'd stay there with you 431 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: the whole time, and at the end of your appointment 432 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: they'd show you the door. And of course I miss inquisitive, 433 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm asking tons of questions. They were happy to answer 434 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: my questions. They took blood from me so they could 435 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: do some last minute lab tests, and then they hidrated 436 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: me through an IV. And after that, you know, he 437 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: was like, well, tomorrow we'll start your infusions. And they 438 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: say that some people when they get these stem cell 439 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: infusions through an IV, that they might feel kind of 440 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: sick afterward. They might get flu like symptoms or a 441 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: headache or nausea. I wasn't sure how it would affect me, 442 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: so I figured maybe today would be a good day 443 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: to get my touristy stuff out of the way. And 444 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: the same guy who picked us up at the airport 445 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: said he also would provide private tours, and so I 446 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: called him and he, sure enough, he picked up me 447 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: and Lauren and gave us, just the two of us, 448 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: our own exclusive private tour for hours, and we drove 449 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: outside of panamasity. I was actually surprised, I must say, 450 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: by how many really terrible looking slums. There were the 451 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: outskirts of Panama City, like mountains and mountains of slums, 452 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: you know, the kind of stuff I'd only seen in movies. 453 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: People you know, hanging up their blankets and laundry outside, 454 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: and it looked quite dreary. So it goes to show 455 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: you that, you know, if you're right there in the 456 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: heart of Panama City, you might get the wrong impression about, 457 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, how the wealth is distributed around there. And 458 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: then as we got closer to the Panama Canal, it 459 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: was interesting because there are all these little creeks and 460 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: rivers around the canal and the can and they have crocodiles. 461 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: There's crocodiles in the water. You gotta be careful, you know. 462 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: The Panama Canal is so important because before this waterway 463 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: was built, if a ship wanted to travel through, you know, 464 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: across South America, they'd have to go below the tip 465 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: of South America and that would take them two or 466 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: three weeks. Once the canal was cut through there, now 467 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: they can do an eight to ten hours. It changed 468 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: the world, but it was a very difficult tak It's 469 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: about a forty mile canal forty fifty mile Canal, and 470 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: the French were the people who started trying to build 471 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: it in the eighteen hundreds, and they had lots and 472 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: lots of problems. One of the biggest was mosquitoes. Everybody 473 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: was dying of malaria and yellow fever, and nobody knew 474 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: what was causing it. At that time. The idea that 475 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: it was caused by mosquitos was just a theory. They 476 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: thought that maybe there were vapors coming from the jungle 477 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: that were causing this, and so the French failed. At 478 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: that time, Panama was actually part of Columbia. It was 479 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: basically considered South America. But then there was a revolt 480 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: and Panama became independent and the Americans got involved and 481 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: Teddy Roosevelt led the charge, and the Americans gotten there 482 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: and finally got the job done. And one of the 483 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: reasons is they they brought in an American doctor who said, 484 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: I think it's mosquitoes. So he started He brought a 485 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: mosquito nets and they started draining a lot of the 486 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: stagnant water, and they started taking any that of water 487 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: that was sitting around that maybe drinking water or whatever, 488 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: and they'd put cooking oil on top of it to 489 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: create a little oil slick there so that mosquitos would 490 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: not want to land and lay their eggs. They did 491 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: all this stuff that worked really well, you know, taking 492 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: quinine and tonic water, all this stuff, and they were 493 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: able to sort of beat that threat. They say nowadays 494 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: that there's no significant mosquito threat there in Panama. But 495 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: for this whole process to take place, I was told 496 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: that during this period of time, over twenty five thousand 497 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: people died building this Panama Canal. So yes, there are 498 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: lots of haunted and ghostly tails around Panama and the 499 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: Panama Canal. I wasn't able to dig into all of 500 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: that as much as I wanted, because you know, it 501 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: wasn't my top priority. But when you get to the 502 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: Panama Canal, they have a big visitor center there, multi story. 503 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: Right next to it is a viewing platform. So you 504 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: walk up this catwalk and up at the top there's 505 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: an observation deck and here's the canal. It's not that wide, 506 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: and right when we got there, this gigantic ship was 507 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: passing through the rcc Antwerp, a Bahamian ship and some 508 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: of these ships pay four hundred thousand dollars just to 509 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: be able to cut across through the Panama Canal and 510 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: you can see why when it saves them weeks of time. 511 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: So it was impressive to see that, and Laurene and 512 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: I took lots of great video footage. And then after 513 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: that we went over to the visitor center where they 514 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: have restaurants and bars and gift shops, and then they 515 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: have an Imax theater there that shows a three D 516 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: forty five minute Imax movie about the history of the 517 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: Panama Canal, Morgan Freeman. And it was great. I mean, 518 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: it was really a well done movie, and I learned 519 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: a lot about the Panama Canal and the strange history 520 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: of all that. And then you know, there's not one 521 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: single water pump in the Panama Canal. It's so genius. 522 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: It all works by gravity. Well, after that, the guy 523 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: was going to just take us back to our hotel, 524 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: but I said, you know what, let's go first. Just 525 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: drop us off in this area of the historic district 526 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: called Old Town Costco Vieho three hundred and fifty three 527 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: years old, built back in the sixteen hundreds. The first 528 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: time they built it, it was destroyed by pirates and 529 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: they rebuilt it two years later, so it's one of 530 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: those old, narrow cobblestone ancient you know cities. It makes 531 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: you feel like you're somewhere in Europe. And it reminded 532 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: me a lot of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, but 533 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: much more claustrophobic. Old San Juan is much more spacious 534 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: and open, with a nice breeze and sweeping views of 535 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: the ocean. It wasn't like that in Panama. It was 536 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: much more cramped in Costco Viejo. It was so hot 537 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: and humid the whole time, We're sweating bullets. I had 538 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: my durable US passport in my pocket the whole time, 539 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: and I'd go back to the room and it would 540 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: just be curled up. It was soaked, you know, It'd 541 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: have to put it under something heavy to straighten it out. 542 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: People ask me, did you get yourself a Panama hat, 543 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: you know, like a Panama jack hat while you were there, 544 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: because I'm a big hat guy. I didn't, actually, because 545 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,320 Speaker 1: it turns out that Panama hats are not made in Panama. 546 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: The real authentic Panama hats are made in Ecuador, and 547 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: they were shipped to the workers in Panama while they 548 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: were making the canal, and so that's why it's considered 549 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: a Panama hat. But if you want a real Panama hat, 550 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: you really need to go to Ecuador. So I did not, 551 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: but you know, I did recently order one from Ecuador, 552 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: so at least I'll have one. I didn't need anything 553 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: else to carry around with me. Uber is fine down there. 554 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: When we were done in Old Town, we got an 555 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: uber and took it to out. You know what, every 556 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: sea I ubered numerous times down there. Every single time 557 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: we ubered, they would tell you the nake of the car, 558 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: and I was like, what is this. I never heard 559 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: of this car. They're all Chinese cards. I've never heard 560 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: of before, every single one of them. So anyway, we 561 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: ended up going to a restaurant and I got all 562 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: my touristy stuff out of the way because the next 563 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: day is when I was going to start the infusions. 564 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: They were going to give me infusions for three days Wednesday, Thursday, 565 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: and Friday, and I was gonna leave on Saturday. So on. 566 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: And it's funny also, I'll tell you. We got back 567 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: home or got back to our room and I turned 568 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: on the TV. I was watching the History Channel. All 569 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: the shows are in English, but the commercials were in Spanish. 570 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: Tom Hay was there speaking Spanish during a commercial. I 571 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: remember they had a commercial for Ajax cleaner. They call 572 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: the Ahawks. It's always fun to watch TV and other places, 573 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: I think. So the next day, all right, fine, we 574 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: went I got up, We went down there, and over 575 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: these three days they say, each day you're going to 576 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: get stem cells from a particular woman. Now it could 577 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 1: be a different woman each day. These women they volunteer, 578 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: but it could be you know, one woman one day, 579 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: the other other day, a second woman third day, or 580 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: it could all come from the same woman. They don't 581 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: tell you for sure, so you could end up with 582 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: umbilical cord cells from three different Panamanian women by the 583 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: time it's all said and done. So I got up 584 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: the next day, I went down to my appointment. They 585 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: took me in, they sat me down. The doctor pulled 586 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: out a test tube and it had some kind of 587 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: kind of milky, you know, clear but milky fluid, and 588 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 1: had a label on it with my name and the date, 589 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: and he said, these are your stem cells. We're about 590 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: to put these in you. These were made just for you. 591 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: And then they put an IV in me and they 592 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: pulled out a machine on a stand that looked about 593 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: in the size of like a ce Pat machine or 594 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: a large cigar box. When we come back, I'll tell 595 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: you what that process was like. I'm Joshua Whipe Warren. 596 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast 597 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be 598 00:37:32,080 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this 599 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to 600 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. 601 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: And when I told people I was going to go 602 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 1: down to get these stem cells, I got all kinds 603 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: of weird emails. People said, oh, you don't have to 604 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,240 Speaker 1: do that. You can get stem cells just by drinking 605 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: your own eye. I was like, no, thanks, Anything that 606 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: goes in your stomach is going to get destroyed by 607 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: stomach acid, so don't believe that. And then you know, 608 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: one woman said she got a sheep embryo stem cells 609 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: and that worked for her. But I asked the doctor 610 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: about that. He said he never heard of that. And 611 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: then there was a guy said, oh, you know, they 612 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 1: can give you cancer. You know what's funny is that 613 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,279 Speaker 1: back in the eighties when they were doing experiments with 614 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: stem cells and they were using embryos, they said that 615 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: embryos were at such a powerful stage of development, that 616 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: they were growing too fast, and that they could cause 617 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: benign tumors and people who were getting them. And that's 618 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: one of the reasons they stopped, aside from the ethical 619 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:09,759 Speaker 1: stuff at this facility. Of all, they say, of the 620 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 1: biblical cords that make it to their facility, only three 621 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: out of ten get chosen for the golden stem cells. 622 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: I like that a lot better. And so they have 623 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: this machine on a stand right next to you. They 624 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: popped the violin. You sit there for twenty minutes or whatever, 625 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: and you know you've got your stem cells. So and 626 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: then that's it. Now, over the next three days, they 627 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: did that to me every day. Also on the first day, 628 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: they gave me afterwards some injections just like a shot 629 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 1: of stem cells and some of my problem areas, for example, 630 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,439 Speaker 1: some spots on my lower back, around my rhomboids, around 631 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: my shoulder blades, my neck areas that often bother me. 632 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: And then also in the last two days, they gave 633 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: me a nasal spray that they would squirt in there 634 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: of what's called MTF. And I don't want to get 635 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: into all this stuff right now. If you again, if 636 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: you want more of the science, go listen to the 637 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: series I did at stem cell result dot Com and 638 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: I get into it. But MTF are like these little 639 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: biological components that the stem cells produce that supposedly help 640 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 1: with the repair process. And so what they're doing is 641 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: they're actually giving you a combo of stem cells and 642 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,320 Speaker 1: MTF and they say that yes, even though stem cells 643 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,240 Speaker 1: can morph into other types of cells they need repairing, 644 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: that they are actually even more effective at just signaling 645 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 1: to the body to repair itself. They may stop calling 646 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: these things stem cells eventually and call them something like 647 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: signaling cells. So the science behind all this is very interesting, 648 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,399 Speaker 1: but let me tell you my experience there was top notch. 649 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: By the time I we all felt like family. They 650 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: do a very good job of making you comfortable. My 651 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: blood pressure even went down, and they, as far as 652 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: I can tell, they were completely above board, professional, transparent, 653 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: like on the ball, operating everything with like military precision. 654 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: And I can't say enough positive things about my experience 655 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 1: there with the Stem Cell Institute. So if you are 656 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: interested in doing that then at least I can give 657 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, that's my honest opinion about them and my 658 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: experience with them. I can't vouch for any other place. 659 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: But I had a good experience and I felt good 660 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: the whole time. I never got sick, I never had 661 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 1: any issues. I mean, one night, during the midst of 662 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: this I got it, went and right afterward got into 663 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 1: the swimming pool, big nice rooftop swimming pool, swam around. 664 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,720 Speaker 1: Another night, they had a show there in the restaurant. 665 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: I think it was called like Emotions in this restaurant, 666 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,439 Speaker 1: and they had a stage and you can go watch 667 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: flaminco dancers and fire jugglers and people doing you know, 668 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: like high wire kind of stuff. I mean, it was, 669 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 1: it was great. It was. It was a really nice property. 670 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: And I even left the casino ahead. I even left 671 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: with some profit at the casino, So I really had 672 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: a positive experience there. But I was, you know, after 673 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: five days there or whatever, six days, I was. I 674 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 1: was happy to go home. But then I made a 675 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: big mistake because instead of going straight back to Las Vegas, 676 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: where I lived, which is what I should have done, 677 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: instead we flew to Texas, where we decided to spend 678 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,840 Speaker 1: some days visiting with some some of my friends and 679 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: in laws, plus our dog was there. They were keeping 680 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 1: our dog for us. And turns out that some of 681 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: the people that we met with there in Texas were 682 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 1: sick with some kind of you know, bad cold or 683 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: something like that that had gotten while I was gone. 684 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: And I thought, well, I'm super mad. I just got 685 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: my stem cells. I'll be fine. But no, Laurene and 686 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: I picked up that sickness. By the time I got 687 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 1: back to Las Vegas, she was already sick and I 688 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: was getting sick. And this ended up turning into pneumonia 689 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: for me. You may know about that, and boy it 690 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 1: was bad. And then you know, I went and got antibiotics, 691 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: and the antibiotics tore my stomach up. They were very strong, 692 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 1: and I was nauseating. It was it was I had 693 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: a really hard month. And so that kind of like 694 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 1: threw a wrench into everything. That's the number one piece 695 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: of advice for you. If you go get stem cells 696 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: like this, after you're done, go straight home and rest 697 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,520 Speaker 1: for like a month. Don't go out and do anything 698 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,480 Speaker 1: or get around people, because I think you might be 699 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: more vulnerable during that period of time. So Unfortunately, as 700 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: I tell you right now, what my experience is like 701 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: two months later, it's it's kind of contaminated because I 702 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: have a feeling that my experience would be different if 703 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 1: I had not gotten sick immediately after the treatment. But 704 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: here's what I can tell you. A lot of the 705 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: typical rheumatoy and arthritis symptoms, like the joints being inflamed 706 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: and extremely sore and all that kind of stuff, and 707 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:35,280 Speaker 1: even a lot of the fatigue was gone after this treatment. 708 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,439 Speaker 1: I didn't have any of it, and I wasn't taking 709 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:42,280 Speaker 1: any of my normal medication. It was gone for six weeks. 710 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: That part of my problems was gone. But after six weeks, 711 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: one day I woke up and ah, my left hand 712 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: was hurting, and I was like, oh, this feels like 713 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: an ra flare up. The next day it was fine. 714 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: That I woke up my right hand was hurting, and 715 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: then my left shoulder was hurting, and I was like, 716 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 1: oh crap. And since then it's gone back and forth. 717 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,439 Speaker 1: It's been wishy washy. It's kind of like that after 718 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: that six six week window that it might be kind 719 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 1: of creeping back again. The thing is, if you look 720 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: up how long it takes for stem cells to fully 721 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,160 Speaker 1: kick in. Most places will say give it a year, 722 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 1: give it a year. So even though it's been two months, 723 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,840 Speaker 1: for me, even that two months has been kind of 724 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 1: kind of messed up because I immediately got this sickness 725 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: and I don't know how much that has distorted my 726 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 1: experience and my results. And so you know, when you 727 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: ask the question was it worth it, well, I don't 728 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: know at this point. If if it only gave me 729 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: relief from RA for six weeks and then it's all 730 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 1: just gonna go back to normal. The no, it wasn't 731 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: worth it. It wasn't worth thirty thousand dollars and the 732 00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: pain of going down there and all that. But again, 733 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 1: it may be that things are just taking a slightly 734 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: different path for me because I got that sickness, and 735 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: so my mind is open that the stem cells are 736 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: not done doing their job. And I will give you 737 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,920 Speaker 1: another update once I turn fifty in October, but I 738 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: really I'm going to have to give you the more 739 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: serious update probably June of twenty twenty seven, after I 740 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: give it a year, and then I think I'll be 741 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,319 Speaker 1: able to say, okay, well in my case, and it's 742 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 1: different for everybody, but in my case, you know, this 743 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 1: is what happened. But that place is so sophisticated. I 744 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 1: don't think you can keep a place like that running 745 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,839 Speaker 1: on you know, BS for all these years and all 746 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: these procedures, and I think you should be able to 747 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,520 Speaker 1: do this and the U and try it out as 748 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: long as the doctors have studied you and they've got 749 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,399 Speaker 1: the stats on you, and everybody's honest and transparent about 750 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: the whole process. And also, you know what, I may 751 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,839 Speaker 1: not even know how much it helped me. I may 752 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: have issues that I didn't even know about, and these 753 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: stem cells are going to go in there and fix it. 754 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: I may have had a ticking time bomb inside me, 755 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: and the stem cells are repairing something right now. So yes, 756 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: we all want instagratification. But what I can tell you 757 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 1: right now is that's where I am. I'm feeling much 758 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 1: much better than I did a couple of weeks ago. 759 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: Is this going to ultimately, you know, be something that 760 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: lasts for years. I've heard for some people they say 761 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: it's nine years later and they feel way better than 762 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: they did before. So I don't know. I don't know, 763 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 1: but that's the truth. There's your update. And again let 764 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: me reiterate. If you want to hear me talk about 765 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,720 Speaker 1: this whole story in great detail, including the science, especially 766 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 1: if you're considering doing this, go to stemsell result dot 767 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 1: com and listen to my five part series five parts 768 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 1: at this point about my experience. Well, the clock has 769 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: got us. I think it's time for us all to 770 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: meditate together on positivity. If you can close your eyes, 771 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: take a deep breath, let us meditate upon the good 772 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 1: fortune tone.
