ANECDOTE

Personal Rapid Recovery After Foot Break

  • After breaking her calcaneus, Dr. Joy Kong added IV stem cells and saw daily range-of-motion gains accelerate from ~1° to 2–3° per day.
  • She reports IV stem cells shortened her recovery and often halve surgical recovery times.
ADVICE

Restore Youthful Signals With Young Cells

  • Replenish youthful signaling by giving young cells because endogenous stem cell populations and signals decline sharply with age.
  • Dr. Joy Kong notes transplanted young cells can restore younger cellular function across tissues.
ADVICE

Techniques To Reach The Brain

  • To target the brain, use exosomes or open the blood-brain barrier (e.g., mannitol) and apply focused photobiomodulation.
  • Intranasal delivery and transcranial laser can attract cells/exosomes into brain tissue.
