Summary

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, you’ll learn about the stem cell theory of aging and what stem cells can do for you. They essentially have two superhuman powers and you’ll find out why that matters.

Back on the show are Dr. Harry Adelson and Dr. Amy Killen of Docere Clinics. In previous episodes, they’ve discussed the use of stem cell therapy for healing, pain conditions, erectile dysfunction and other health concerns. They are at the forefront of clinical stem cell use and treatments. On today’s show, they focus on the benefits of using stem cells to slow down the aging process.

“The two main contributors to aging are inflammation and oxidation,” says Dr. Adelson. “Your body's biologic aging really is a response to how well you can cope with and respond to inflammation and oxidation. Both of those processes are entirely controlled by stem cells.”

Dave recently underwent a “six-hands” full-body stem cell makeover and has the video to prove it on YouTube. He shares the specifics of those procedures — from injections to topical application and microneedling — with listeners and discusses the healing and change he’s experienced since the treatments.

“There's something called healthy aging … and that's the thing that I'm looking for,” Dave says.

So, listen in to find out more about the different types of stem cells, stem-cell mediated events, exosomes and growth factors, and how to turbocharge your own stem cells.

You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey.

Today's cool fact of the day is that news recently made headlines across the world about

0:21.0

a second HIV patient who went into remission after a stem cell transplant.

0:26.8

That's kind of cool because it's two people on Earth who've done it.

0:31.9

This patient was positive for the virus since 2003.

0:36.4

Got a blood stem cell transplant in 2016 because he had Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is a lymphatic

0:41.9

system cancer.

0:44.3

The blood stem cells came from a donor with a mutation that makes stem cells resistant

0:48.8

to HIV infection.

0:51.1

And subsequent testing over 12 months showed that the patient's HIV had fallen to undetectable

0:55.4

levels.

0:56.4

So 16 months after the procedure, they stopped taking anti-retroviral medication with a doctor's

1:02.2

permission and has remained in remission ever since with HIV levels less than one copy

1:08.8

per milliliter of plasma, which is pretty much not there.

1:15.1

And when that patient decided to do the stem cell transplant, which is an accepted procedure

1:21.8

for Hodgkin's lymphoma, the physicians said, well, why don't we try finding a donor

1:27.3

with a defect in both copies of the CCR-5 gene?

1:31.8

And that means that the donor's T cells couldn't make the protein, which means HIV really can't

1:36.2

get into the cells.

1:38.1

And they thought it might work on HIV.

1:40.1

It was one of those times where there was no additional risk to the patient, so they did

1:44.4

gasp and experiment on a patient.
