Stem Cells: Your Body's Own Repair System | Christian Drapeau, MSc

Now, also, for those that are new to this, there may be some skepticism about how you could get your body to produce more or to release more, put more into action.

I know in medical science, there are advances that show us that you can take a certain drug that will cause your body to create more stem cells, and then they'll capture those stem cells to then apply as your own therapy.

They're highly experimental and have been used in the equine world for a long time on racehorses, a lot, far longer than on humans.

So I wonder what your thoughts are about that approach versus something like the more nature-based approach that you have, um, really undertaken.

Yeah.

I mean, you're bringing a very interesting point because most people, when we talk about stem cell research or stem cell treatments, uh, we're talking about stem cell injection.

And what is to a large extent unknown, and it's the full topic of my book, Cracking the Stem Cell Code, uh, which is the fact that there is a vast literature, I would venture to say, if anything, even more substantial than with stem cell injection, there's a vast literature that by using those compounds, and the main one is G-CSF, granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor, has been the one that has been mostly used, uh, in the early 2000.

So it's a compound that your body secretes naturally when you have an injury.

It initiates your own repair system.

So if you get a heart attack, for example, we can pick up in the blood that molecule within 10, 12 hours, and the number of stem cells starts increasing up to tel- tenfold within a few days.

It's your normal repair response.

So but the problem is that when you use this molecule in human at the concentration that I've shown very, very significant, uh, repair in animals, various animal models, uh, there's a toxicity associated with it.

So that molecule itself, although there's tons of literature showing that it really boost the repair system to reach phenomenal results in many studies, we cannot translate that to humans.

So what I really brought was the discovery of plant extract that do the same thing to a much, much lesser extent.

These plant extracts are much, much, much milder than G-CSF.

But because we can take them over extended periods of time, every day they bring a cumulative impact on tissue repair.

So by releasing your own stem cells every day, then, uh, over time, we can get significant repair.

We're doing this now.

We have one ongoing study on, uh, chronic stable congestive heart failure.

We have one on Parkinson.

We're starting one on COPD.

And we basically duplicate or confirm or reproduce, I should say, the same results that were shown in animals by releasing our own stem cells, the impact that it can have in repair.

We're showing this now with plant extracts.
