My wife had an injection of Cord Stem Cells two days ago. It seems a miracle that her right knee’s pain and swollen knee no longer! She’s not struggling in and out of our car!!!! I’m hoping that it will continue healing her knee!! It’s incredible!
How much does it cost and in which hospital she got it? I would very much appreciate it if you answer me since i'm a condidate to surgery and i'm reluctant about it.
About 8 years ago,I paid over 3,000 bucks to get 2 units of placenta/ umbilical cord stem cells.I had 1 unit injected into my right knee and 1 unit into my upper left arm. The one in my right knee certainly helped my right knee. Now ,8 years later my left knee got severe arthritis in it 6-7 years after my right knee. But now ,years later my left knee is much more painful then my right knee. It certainly helped.
Umblical cord mesenchymal stem cell therapy does work, I've had both PRP which was short lived, and provided no permanent relive, and I've had Mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord and it is far better and long lasting than a PRP, mainly because the regenerative proprties of MSC shots are permanent, and you can reverse ostioarthritis from a alevel 4 to a level 2. you can add me to the study if they need more candidates, it seems like the push against MSC shots continues because the FDA has decided to prolong the agony instead of promoting the cure. I'ts the nature of the business, not the nature of the study. I suggest looking for a clinic overseas where they do these MSC shots.
Hope this review helps ; I got umbilical cord stem cell injections about 1,5 months ago on both knees for my bilateral ostroarthritis, grade 2 bilateral torn acl, grade 2 unilateral mcl torn, unilateral meniscus degeneration, and unilateral chondral injury posteromedial patella. Pre treatment : Both of my knees were in chronic pain and I felt my knees burning like someone literally torching them with fire, I was unable to stand up nor move my upper body too much and of course I was unable to bend my knees. Also even a smallest vibration would cause me severe pain. Post Treatment : Within hours the pain instantly gone like pooff, and I was able to bend my legs again. The next day I was already able to stand up eventhough not completely upright yet and I was also able to walk a little. The second day post treatment I was able to walk a short distance although my walks were still so stiff and I walked like a robot lol, and then I was already being assigned for physiotheraphy and learn to walk again. During recovery there is a significant improvement I felt on my knees, for the first two weeks I can still feel like there is a cable being stuck on my knees everytime I bend and straightened my legs and sometimes a minor pain if I stand up or walk too long, but the discomfort gradually went down and my knees are getting more and more comfortable. Recent Updates : Up until now there is no significant pain on both knees, just a little spasm and muscle fatigue here and there on the foot, ankles, lower legs & thigh due to systematic muscle weakness caused by covid I had a few months prior to injuries and some discomfort on both of my ankles because they supports most of my weight since the knees are still in recovery mode. But as for the knees, they are so far so good ! Although I still can't run, do squad or climb stairs just yet, but probably will be able within months judging by the current progress (my doctor estimated 6-8 months to full recovery for my complex conditions) Note : The complications I'm suffering however seems to slowed down my recovery progress a bit than other people who sustained injuries with normal conditions, which means they might recover or feel better much quicker than me. But considering all the complications I'm suffering, UC is doing a pretty amazing job for 1,5 months. The latest progress is I can already kneel on bed, walk a long distance with minimal support and short distance without any support. Praise The Lord !
UPDATE September : Just got my latest MRI result, my MCL and Meniscus are healed, torn ACL also healed only its still inhomogen, some parts are thicker some parts are still thin (considered normal bcs its only been 2,5 months since injections). OA is still there but no significant pain, probably need longer time but I really hope it will heal eventually.
@@brutallyhonestguy5985 hi , hope you are doing well, above guy undergone this treatment seems from Japan. I guess it's available in us or Europe but only in few hospitals, you need to contact hospital and enquire about this.
Hi Dr. Jeffrey, thank you so much for producing such great videos on Knee Osteoarthritis treatments. I am keen on the Umbilcal Cord Knee Stem cells however I would like to know and understand the risks and safety around rejection of the cells. Can you please enlighten me on this please
YOU would be surprised how many Drs have wanted to do a full KNEE REPLACEMENT instead of alternative treatments. The medical industry has become untrustworthy. ALWAYS seek many opinions before the chop your knee off.
Hi King Hippo, could you please update us how is the your umbilical cord stem cell treatment? 1) does it fix your shoulder and lower back pain? if yes how long does it take? Out of 10 how will you describe your pain now? 2) Which clinic did you do the treatment? Is that stem cell institute Panama? Or Dreambody clinic ? or others Thanks a lot !! (I'm suffering back pain, L4/5 disc bulging, disc desiccation since 2004 March) I am researching and looking for the best option, Thanks a lot !!
While watching your video I noticed that there seems to be confusion about umbilical cord stem cells - Cord blood and cord tissue are two different sources of stem cells. Cord blood would have HLA expression, which cord tissue wouldn't. That's why it may be interesting to treat the joints with MSC cells AND Chondrocytes and/or Cartilage exosomes for regenerating the cartilage.
I had a stem cell injection in my knee a week ago and I already see significant improvement. I am stage 2 arthritis over all with a 15mm chondral defect in my tibial plateau, 54 years old. It definitely reduced irritation in my knee and swelling almost immediately. As far as I know it was umbilical cord derived because it did not come from my body. My knee was not giving me constant pain but it was catching occasionally and slightly swollen. I still played some sports on it and was able to walk without issues. It was the sports that irritated it the most. It feels the best its felt in years right now. Getting up from a chair after sitting for a long time is no longer stiff. I don't know how this is possible other than it greatly reduced any internal swelling. Now I'm hoping some cartilage will fill in. Fingers crossed.
@@dictatoribenevolo8394 Dr. Mullen. Mesa Arizona. Knee is still doing well. A month of hiking every day and no issues. Walking is completely good, and even better than it was pre treatment. Now I can do 10 mile hikes with no knee stiffness afterwards at all. Just muscle stiffness. Before the treatment I could hike but my knee would be stiff aftetwards for up to a week. No issues at all hiking now but I still avoid very steep downhill grades out of habit. High impact activities like Soccer still irritate it so I play in moderation now. Recovery from high impact seems faster now, but that is a subjective judgement.
I recently learned from someone who was considering both knees replaced with fake ones... had what he called Placenta Stem cells - placed on his lymph nodes in his belly. He showed me two small scars on the sides of his lower belly and said it was basically a quick procedure done with local anesthetic in the clinic. It was a year or two ago and he claims his knees have never been better, and his father and other friends have all done the procedure with amazing results. He told me they have been doing this in mexico for decades now... and it's incredibly affordable. I'm considering for my lower back which is worsening for 4 years now. Sounds too good to be true. Any advice?
@@JeffreyPengMD Me too. But the testimonial is very compelling. So apparently these were some kind of implant on the lymph glands in his belly... not injections ... he showed me two 1 cm long matching scars at the belt line between hips and navel. Heard about anything like this?
Umbilical cord MSCs work well ... but you can't get them but only in a few places (Panama, Columbia, Russia, a few others) due to big pharma ... but it's coming. They're just super expensive. For potential users -- think of it this way -- if you get your own stem cells, you put in stem cells into your body and "heal at the rate of your age" -- whereas umbilical cord cells heal at the rate of the new born -- it's hyper accelerated. Also, instead of 10s of thousands of your own you get 10s of millions ... more studies are coming.
That is only if you get expanded stem cells, where they put the original cells in an incubator and (in simple terms, xerox them to make more) But in the states, you may use original MSG's that are NOT incubated. Look up Dr. Kong at uplyftcenter in Chatsworth, CA. That's where i decided to go because I couldn't afford going abroad. I'm not affiliated with her, I just did my homework and found her out here in California.
Hi doctor, if MSC are not FDA approved and doctors aren't supposed to use them, why are there clinics all over the US that offer them? Is there some type of loophole?
Mesenchymal SC are considered experimental, but there are states such as TX and CO that have places that will administer them. Insurance won’t cover it because it’s deemed “experimental”.
Dr. Jeff - thanks for taking on this new, exciting and complex subject. I've just subscribed and look forward to exploring your catalog of vids. Hopefully I will find something on PBM (Red Light Therapy). (A guy in pain - who doesn't want to be duped)
Why do these providers not gather data from their own cases ? I had a very successful autogulous stem cell procedure from bone marrow, adipose , & blood in 2014. Ultrasound guided along with mini arthroscopy (fluoroscopy). Induced injury to cartilage defects from medial meniscus tear with the growth factors in a gel form. Took time to regenerate, but going strong nine yrs now ! I should have done both knees right away. Cost & worried about efficacy initially stopped me. The Dr has sadly passed away a few yrs ago who performed my procedure. He was a boss certified Rheumatologist with training in ultrasound and arthroscopy. Dr Nathan Wei was a great doctor!! He said the technology wasn’t safe to use allogenic cells, but autogulous was. Thing is I’m older now & other knee is more arthritic. I’d like to use the Wharton’s jelly from umbilical cord stem cells . But safety & efficacy is my biggest concern.
@@mtease9247Hello friend, how are you now? Can you walk and run easily? Can you go up and down stairs? How are your pains now? Don't ask me on my page. What is your age and weight?
I have an appointment for intervenous stem cell therapy for a neurologic condition. The more I read about this the more worried I get that any of these ultimately engrafted stem cells have the babies DNA in them and could set up some type of graft versus host reaction. The people that are talking about this downplay that as a risk but I don’t see how you can downplay it. When people get bone marrow transfusions they go on immunosuppressive the rest of their life. Do you have any thoughts about long-term immunogenicity stem cells if there is an element of engraftment. Not really sure very good good information is on this.
Please I too am considering intervinious embryonic stem cells from donated placenta at Dr Kong in California ...she owns Chara Biologics also ...is this where you are having it done . your feedback is appreciated ❤️
@@judyfasola3737 i hate to inform you but it’s been clinically proven Chara does not inject stem cells. Her therapy does not contain 1 live stem cell. The product does contain anti-inflammatory proteins and properties (like all amniotics do), but does nor cannot ( legally) contain live stem cells.

In theory this is possible, which is why this type of therapy needs more investigation to not only prove efficacy, but also safety.
