Dr. Joy Hong, will our body's Stem cell overall protocol be rejuvenated after an infusion? Will our Stem cells take on a more youthful, sustainable profile? I am glad to hear about your openness to AI systems-based thinking. Sure, this will give great insight, but are we ready? Outlining and implementing this AI tool and the nuances of each dissertation will be a monumental undertaking. I applaud your energy and wonder how you rest with such an exciting opportunity to help others and firsthand experience the results of your efforts. I'm looking forward to your next video talk. Outlining a proven protocol with sustainable outcomes will be tricky enough. So there you have it, your recurring venture.
Very much appreciate your comment and support. Based on research, a person's own cells can be rejuvenated due to repair on the genetic level, at least through the microRNAs and go inside a nucleus to repair the DNA. There is also mitochondria transfer aspect, where fresh new mitochondria can be delivered to the recipient's cells.
Hi Dr Kong, I want to start by saying thank you for everything you are doing to help people with healing with the miracle that are stem cells. I have watched many hours of your podcasts and I can see how warm and genuinely caring you are. You also seem to be ageing in reverse, you look amazing! I noticed in this podcast that you mentioned you have treated people with kidney disease. I have Alports Syndrome. I am now 53 and I have basically known that I have had this disease since the age of 13. My eGFR is now around 43. I really try to take care of myself but some of the medications I am on make me feel unwell. What types of outcomes have you seen with treating people with kidney disease? Has their eGFR gone up? Do they feel better? I really would like to live longer. My grandfather had the same disease as me as it is X-chromosome linked. He passed at the age of 63 and suffered greatly. It is caused by a defective COL4A5 gene. Again, I truly appreciate what you do and please don't ever give up treating with stem cells. You are truly awesome!!!
Thank you so much for your very kind words, and that means a lot to me...🙏 I would love to help you with your kidney condition, and I have indeed seen benefits of stem cell therapy in kidneys diseases, both from published studies, and from patients I have treated, and patients from doctors who I have trained in Stem Cell Therapy... and yes, I have seen kidney function improve. You can contact our clinic at 818-356-8232 or email info@uplyftcenter.com. You can also send in a contact form at www.joykongmd.com/contact/. I look forward to helping you live longer and better❤️
@@JoyKongMD Thank you so much for your reply. I truly appreciate it! That is awesome to hear that kidney function can be improved!! I want to try and live as long as I can. I look forward to working with you sometime soon! Kyle
Great episode Dr Kong! I’m hearing that taking a skin cell & reversing it back to its original state & then gene editing it to target certain diseases will be available this year.
I certainly look forward to seeing it happen... we had difficulty controlling induced pluripotent stem cells (such as preventing it from becoming cancerous cells), and I'd like to see if they solved that issue...
Dear Dr Kong, I’ve only discovered your channel and I find it already fascinating. A few years ago I participated in an international medical stem cell conference held in India and I was delighted to get acquainted with many Stem Cell medical professionals and researchers from Europe and Asia. There was one personal question I had to ask them since I have a family member suffering from serious endometriosis. Would you think Stem Cell therapy be capable of improving the lives of patients suffering from this disease? I was told no at the time. Watching your other videos I wish to ask the same question about peptide therapy, which I assume would have better propensity to help patients. What are your thoughts or experience in this application. Utmost thanks and regards.
Hi, I'm glad you are enjoying the content from my channel. There is still not enough research done on the effect of stem cell therapy in endometriosis, but there's an animal study showing promise of umbilical cord derived stem cells (MSCs) helping to reduce nerve density that is associated with pain in endometriosis, and another study showing umbilical cord MSCs in reducing endometrial damage.
39:50 Hi Joy. I am glad that you mentioned that about Dr. Arnold Caplan. I knew of him, and never got around to asking you why do you and everyone keep calling MSC, Mesenchymal Stem Cells instead of Medicinal Signaling Cells. I will be meeting with a knowledgeable writer on stem cells in late summer and will be asking him the same question. If Arnold Caplan got credit for naming MSC during his hypothesis and later found out that they aren’t stem cells. He has changed the name to Medicinal Signaling Cells. He seems pretty passionate about correcting everyone on this change. What’s your take on this? Thanks for always replying. Do you think a lot of stem cell doctors don’t know about him?
He is passionate about it and is making a good point about a crucial aspect of how MSCs function - through signaling, I.e. directing the body in its healing response. However, MDCs have been shown to differentiate into various cell types, more types if they are younger (they can develop into heart muscle cells and neurons etc, not just muscles, bones, cartilage, or fat cells etc, if the MSCs are from a very young source like the umbilical cord), so in that sense they are true stem cells. So I don't fully agree with him.
Yes, in vitro MSC can be differentiated into bone, muscle, tendon etc, but not organ tissues. Example: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18557828/ there are other studies to, but It’s always good to reconfirm things constantly. We talked about this subject before. I will know more in depth this summer when I hope to get some unpublished material or unknown resources being in another language on certain questions. Example like you mentioned before about a western doctor saying there’s no evidence about acupuncture. If you have any specific questions you want to know, I will try to get the information. I am sure you can think of things I haven’t thought of asking. Thanks for your input on MSC naming. It has given me a lot to think about.
@@JoyKongMD Hi Joy. I just found Dr. Khan today about MSC. To hear his thoughts start at 14:29 for a minute or so. I wonder how most doctors look at MSC. Thanks. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IAoyGf6wYrU.htmlsi=TaeAZRoGkaCtPjCZ
How can we differentiate stem cells of different organs ,for example UC,borne marrow stem cells. Is there any criteria for rating different types of stem cells.How mitochondria of each stem cell affect quality of each stem cell?
There are surface markers that are different among different types of stem cells... each differentiation pathway results in different proteins being expressed, so that they all have their own characteristics and capabilities... surface markers and proteins they express and secrete will be what we can use to differentiate them...
Typically, the line of reasoning for using 361 tissue products is that the patient’s own cells are “too old” to be effective. However, science-based experts recognize the fact 361tissue products do not contain live cells with metabolic activity and such claims are not based on science, or data, and is untrue. These products do have growth factors, proteins, and cytokines, which can produce some remarkable beneficial effects. That said, there are numerous published, independent, 3rd party analysis showing 361 tissue products do not contain live stem cells. In contrast, there is no published, independent, 3rd party testing by anyone marketing and/or selling these "stem cell" products proving they do meet the criteria for being called a stem cell.
That is simply not true. The FDA says that in order to claim a product as a category 361 Products, as long as a company proves that such products are minimally manipulated, and are used for homologous purposes. The FDA somehow feels that discussion of cell metabolic activity as a reason for the effect of the products will qualify such products as drugs - whether or not such view has any scientific basis is being discussed and the the FDA regulation of the cell therapy sector is still in its infancy. Just because a company cannot talk about the cells' metabolic activity as the reason why they are beneficial, that does not mean, that such products contain no live cells. Whether or not there are live cells in a product of course depends on how such products are produced (quality and methods are factors), and there are plenty of 3rd party cell viability testing that show many of these products definitively contain live cells. So, the truth is, stem cell companies cannot promote these products by talking about the metabolic activities of the cells, but the fact that many such products contain live cells is no longer an issue of debate.
@@JoyKongMD "there are plenty of 3rd party cell viability testing that show many of these products definitively contain live cells". A 361 tissue product with live viable stem cells in the US? Can you please provide the link to where I might find just one of these 3rd analysis you reference. I am aware of one 3rd party analysis that was published in Am J Sports Med. 2021 Aug 16. "Colony Forming Potential and Protein Composition of Commercial Umbilical Cord Allograft Products in Comparison With Autologous Orthobiologics" This particular analysis shows (as the others) none of the 361 tissue products tested contained live stem cells. Oddly enough among the products tested was one you might be familiar with. Hope this helps. TY!
52:52 hello love this video gives us all hope for future. My ten month old son has Spina Bifida. I applied for cure trial which is showing great results for his diagnosis. Unfortunately they weren’t accepting applications at that time. So I am on a mission to learn as much as possible about stem cells in hopes that I can find treatment to help with his leg weakness and neurogenic bowel and bladder. Do you have any suggestions or studies that I could look into?
The 2018 article "Improved Bowel Function in Patients with Spina Bifida After Bone Marrow-Derived Mononuclear Cell Transplantation: A Report of 2 Cases" can be helpful.
Another interesting interview! You mentioned ketamine at the end. Is it effective for CRPS? I have a relative who developed CRPS after surgery, and her PT mentioned she try ketamine therapy. Is it something that is done multiple times to see an effect?
I think all the medications you mentioned ,in one way or other way only to activate or mobilise 40 trillions cells in our body. But if we can voluntarily mobilise these 40 trillions cells by mental y physically or the power of our sensing organs ,then what is the use of medications.
Are you referring to stem cells when you are referring to "medications?" Stem cells are not medication, which is why they're so revolutionary. They contain nature's innate intelligence, which degrades as we age. There's numerous research showing how our own bodG's stem cell quantity and quality decline sharply as we age, and these new vibrant cells can give body the signals to rejuvenate and function at a younger state. Please watch this video of mine which will give you some perspective: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ez7zUSzHoUw.html
