- 00:00:10Ukraine is the only country on Earth
- 00:00:13where fetal stem cell therapy is legal
- 00:00:15and regulated and then learning that M
- 00:00:17cell is the only place in the world you
- 00:00:18can actually get those um I was on
- 00:00:21[Music]
- 00:00:26board it's scary like to bring a child
- 00:00:28into the world and not know that you
- 00:00:30have a
- 00:00:31reliable method of healing if your
- 00:00:34disease gets worse the stem cell
- 00:00:36treatment in Ukraine is it's my safety
- 00:00:38net if something happens to him we're
- 00:00:40going to Ukraine
- 00:00:46immediately I can enjoy my life I can
- 00:00:48enjoy being me again which I felt had
- 00:00:51slipped away like I'd look in the mirror
- 00:00:53and I I didn't know who I was looking at
- 00:00:55because I any joy that I had was gone I
- 00:00:59can write I can paint I can play guitar
- 00:01:02again whereas before this I
- 00:01:04couldn't so it changed my
- 00:01:12life I asked a speech therapist and I
- 00:01:15said to her I'm like is he ever going to
- 00:01:18talk and she was like the way things are
- 00:01:20going I don't think so now like he talks
- 00:01:23so much like it's like can you be quiet
- 00:01:24for a second
- 00:01:31oh
- 00:01:38like so when I've seen um my neurologist
- 00:01:41and I told him that I after my first
- 00:01:43trip to Ukraine that I had gone there
- 00:01:45the first reaction was dismissal he said
- 00:01:48it was well you should have told me I
- 00:01:51would have told you you were wasting
- 00:01:52your time and money but the last time
- 00:01:54he's uh he's seen me he told me he says
- 00:01:56well after all maybe that treatment did
- 00:01:59you
- 00:02:00did do
- 00:02:03[Music]
- 00:02:05good you can plan on by the time she's
- 00:02:09uh seven or eight in a wheelchair
- 00:02:11feeding Tu because they don't have an
- 00:02:12appetite they'll have a rod in their
- 00:02:14back because of scoliosis at night she'd
- 00:02:16have oxygen to help her breathe because
- 00:02:18the lungs it affects the lungs uh in a
- 00:02:20big way and so that's that's really what
- 00:02:24we are looking at and now she's 13 9
- 00:02:28years later and she's is thriving yeah
- 00:02:31she's completely stable and Sophia is
- 00:02:34100% independent we just wish it wasn't
- 00:02:37so far so why why do we have to go so
- 00:02:41far they would never do this treatment
- 00:02:44in the United States the number one
- 00:02:45prescription in America is thyroid
- 00:02:47medication and guess what you don't need
- 00:02:48to take if you get fetal stem cells you
- 00:02:50don't need to take your thyroid
- 00:02:51medication at least I don't we flew into
- 00:02:54Poland and we're on this train I entered
- 00:02:58a war zone to get the treatment I feel
- 00:03:00privileged to have gotten here and it
- 00:03:01was worth the Trek even with the danger
- 00:03:04element and I would do it again we have
- 00:03:06to go across the world for something
- 00:03:08that helps not just us but lots and lots
- 00:03:11of families and individuals shame on
- 00:03:13somebody
- 00:03:20[Music]
- 00:03:34in
- 00:03:351893 German pathologist George schmorl
- 00:03:38first documented the presence of fetal
- 00:03:41cells in the maternal body to later be
- 00:03:43observed that these retained fetal cells
- 00:03:47have stem cell- like properties since
- 00:03:49that time scientists worldwide have
- 00:03:52ubiquitously confirmed this
- 00:03:55phenomenon fetal cells migrate into the
- 00:03:58mother during pregnancy and in humans
- 00:04:00can persist for decades the fetal cells
- 00:04:04also appear to Target sites of injury
- 00:04:06Crossing both the placental and blood
- 00:04:08brain barriers to migrate into diverse
- 00:04:11tissues and to differentiate into
- 00:04:14multiple cell types which is
- 00:04:16particularly interesting since the fetus
- 00:04:18has different genes than the mom some of
- 00:04:22the first scientists to evolved this
- 00:04:24discovery into a medical treatment did
- 00:04:26so while managing a devastating tragedy
- 00:04:29there has been a nuclear accident in the
- 00:04:31Soviet Union one of the atomic reactors
- 00:04:33at the churnable atomic power plant near
- 00:04:35the city of Kiev was damaged the
- 00:04:37Chernobyl disaster resulted in some
- 00:04:40people suffering from a plastic anemia
- 00:04:43otherwise known as bone marrow failure
- 00:04:46and to this day a bone marrow transplant
- 00:04:49is the only cure just weeks after the
- 00:04:52event the LA Times reported a major
- 00:04:54problem that confronted the physicians
- 00:04:56in the first frantic days was to find
- 00:04:59suitable bone marrow donors in a few
- 00:05:02rare cases Physicians had been known to
- 00:05:04use fetal liver cells as substitutes for
- 00:05:08adult bone marrow the first case of our
- 00:05:11treatment was a case of a plastic anemia
- 00:05:15this was a child and he was completely
- 00:05:18dependent on the blood transfusions
- 00:05:21completely once per week blood
- 00:05:23transfusion and this kept him alive in
- 00:05:26about 2 months
- 00:05:29he rapidly flourished after this three
- 00:05:34this was amazing and this was what we
- 00:05:37made wow this is Dr Alexi careno and Dr
- 00:05:41Alexander smigo they are two of the
- 00:05:44earliest pioneers of fetal stem cell
- 00:05:46therapy in ke Ukraine I tracked down
- 00:05:50demitro the aplastic anemia patient they
- 00:05:52had cured using only fetal liver cells
- 00:05:55back in 1991 to this day demitro never
- 00:05:59had had any other therapy for his bone
- 00:06:01marrow failure since being injected
- 00:06:03intravenously with fetal liver cells
- 00:06:06decades earlier I was hired at the
- 00:06:09coordina center for transplantology of
- 00:06:12Ministry of Health and I founded the a
- 00:06:16department for fetal stem cell
- 00:06:19transplantation so formally I got the
- 00:06:22position of the person in charge for FAL
- 00:06:25stem cell transplantation in our country
- 00:06:28Mell was a private company which was uh
- 00:06:30established founded in the beginning of
- 00:06:331994 just for development of this
- 00:06:36invention this was the single University
- 00:06:39level clinic in the world devoted to
- 00:06:42this single problem of fetal stem cell
- 00:06:45transplantation this is our only topic
- 00:06:48of our investigation originally
- 00:06:51operating from a single room in a keev
- 00:06:54state hospital Mell has since evolved
- 00:06:58into this
- 00:07:00Ukraine continues to be the only country
- 00:07:02on Earth that this technology has been
- 00:07:04formally approved and legalized the lack
- 00:07:07of regulatory approval elsewhere
- 00:07:09especially in the United States is
- 00:07:11partly due to the contention that these
- 00:07:14stem cells are obtained exclusively from
- 00:07:16end of first trimester abortions women
- 00:07:19have been finding ways to end pregnancy
- 00:07:23since historically since 1000 BC no
- 00:07:26one's out there getting pregnant to
- 00:07:28support stel to have an abortion I yeah
- 00:07:31I think it's much more beneficial than
- 00:07:34the way that abortions are handled in
- 00:07:36our country where it's just thrown out
- 00:07:38you know at least it can go to something
- 00:07:40that can be beneficial to somebody else
- 00:07:43yeah might as well use that I do think
- 00:07:44that if like the United States says we
- 00:07:47think this would promote abortion or
- 00:07:48something like that I think that's
- 00:07:49ridiculous I don't know the statistic
- 00:07:51off the top of my head but I could
- 00:07:52imagine that there's probably thousands
- 00:07:54of abortions happening in the United
- 00:07:55States daily why would you need to force
- 00:07:57an abortion in order to get the stem
- 00:07:59cells to provide the treatment that
- 00:08:00doesn't make any sense to me I think
- 00:08:02it's a shame I mean there's millions of
- 00:08:04fetuses that are aborted every year and
- 00:08:07it's I mean we could be putting all the
- 00:08:10that tissue the fetuses to good work and
- 00:08:12study them obviously M cells figured it
- 00:08:14out and people are getting healed um and
- 00:08:17you know miraculous things are happening
- 00:08:19and it's just too bad the United States
- 00:08:20isn't able to do that yet I mean
- 00:08:22hopefully maybe sometime in the future
- 00:08:24but we're not going to speak to to to
- 00:08:27women and convince them from boarding
- 00:08:30just to have stem cells we're talking
- 00:08:33about people who made the decision and
- 00:08:35I'm thankful that the person who had
- 00:08:39decided to terminate their pregnancy
- 00:08:41donated the the fetus and the stells
- 00:08:44were able to be extracted to help other
- 00:08:46people with chronic disease and it
- 00:08:48changed my entire life so yeah I'm
- 00:08:51really good with that fact and in
- 00:08:54conversation you know with someone at
- 00:08:55church I was just talking about and she
- 00:08:57looked at me and she says oh well you
- 00:08:59don't ever have to do that again don't
- 00:09:01ever do the fetal stem cells again and
- 00:09:03I'm thinking I wasn't apologizing for it
- 00:09:05I was telling you how amazing it is that
- 00:09:07Sophia is doing so well and she's
- 00:09:09telling me from her only point of view
- 00:09:11was this is a horrible thing and you
- 00:09:13should never do it again and I'm like oh
- 00:09:15we're like so on the different page like
- 00:09:17that's not what I'm saying so then I've
- 00:09:19learned not to talk about it because
- 00:09:20people couldn't grasp that we you know
- 00:09:23we were horrible people for saving our
- 00:09:25daughter's life so
- 00:09:27yeah after 30 years of development fetal
- 00:09:30stem cell therapy doesn't just include
- 00:09:32the cells derived from the fetal liver
- 00:09:35which is how this therapy was given its
- 00:09:36start after Chernobyl Instead This
- 00:09:39protocol has evolved into utilizing stem
- 00:09:42cells from virtually all the organ
- 00:09:44systems of the human body aimed at
- 00:09:46addressing a wide variety of
- 00:09:48neurological and immunological
- 00:09:51conditions
- 00:09:53[Music]
- 00:10:00I am the first science and medicine
- 00:10:02documentarian to have ever been granted
- 00:10:04access to this laboratory which occupies
- 00:10:07the entire fourth floor where all the
- 00:10:09harvesting sorting testing and storing
- 00:10:12of fetal stem cells occurs daily to
- 00:10:15later be delivered to patients on the
- 00:10:17remaining floors the most important part
- 00:10:21of this floor is the biotechnology
- 00:10:27laboratory can you tell us what GM
- 00:10:30biotech laboratory what does GMP mean a
- 00:10:33good manufacturing practice according to
- 00:10:36the US Food and Drug Administration good
- 00:10:38manufacturing practice ensures the
- 00:10:40quality of products by carefully
- 00:10:42monitoring manufacturer's compliance
- 00:10:44with its regulations the regulations
- 00:10:46make sure the product is safe for use
- 00:10:49and that it has the ingredients and
- 00:10:50strength it claims to have which
- 00:10:52theoretically qualifies M cell to submit
- 00:10:55to the US FDA for the approval process
- 00:10:58of fetal stem cells
- 00:11:00and we are the only one in the world
- 00:11:02which produce the fetal stem cell
- 00:11:05preparation according to the World
- 00:11:07Health Organization there is an
- 00:11:08estimated 40 to 50 million abortions
- 00:11:11performed annually worldwide virtually
- 00:11:13all of which are discarded as biological
- 00:11:16waste with a minute fraction of this
- 00:11:18fetal material being donated locally to
- 00:11:21M cell's laboratory with the express
- 00:11:23written consent of each donor the target
- 00:11:26time to obtain the most viable fetal
- 00:11:28material is the end of first trimester
- 00:11:32our work start from the moment then they
- 00:11:35donated it to us the hospital gives us
- 00:11:38the fetuses and we transportate here and
- 00:11:41then with our process starts so how long
- 00:11:44after it's arriv rival you must act
- 00:11:46quickly yes we act immediately it's very
- 00:11:50important because each minute can
- 00:11:52influence on the quality of the fetal
- 00:11:55stem s preparation and sometimes we have
- 00:11:57like 1 hour ago
- 00:11:59it was Harvest and now it's already
- 00:12:02preparing the fetal stemel preparations
- 00:12:05immediately following the abortion
- 00:12:07procedure the donated fetal material
- 00:12:09along with a blood sample of its donor
- 00:12:12arrives at Mel's laboratory it's
- 00:12:15temperature is checked and the material
- 00:12:17is logged into their system the fetal
- 00:12:20material is then immediately delivered
- 00:12:22to their scientists for extraction
- 00:12:29so we put the Box inside and need to
- 00:12:32wait when the air inside of the chamber
- 00:12:34change and then the indicator becomes
- 00:12:46green after the cells are successfully
- 00:12:49extracted they are immediately sent to
- 00:12:52cryopreservation the KE point of the
- 00:12:54Creo preservation is to guarantee the
- 00:12:58percent of Life cells after our CER
- 00:13:01preservation process we have
- 00:13:0498% of Life cells in each of our fetal
- 00:13:08stem cell preparation so this program is
- 00:13:11unique because if you look through the
- 00:13:13other Publications for other stem cells
- 00:13:16not only fetal stem cells they have 70
- 00:13:19or 80% of Life cells and we have 98 so
- 00:13:24we're really very proud of it after
- 00:13:27cryopreservation sample from the new
- 00:13:29fetal material are tested for harmful
- 00:13:32bacteria using an FDA approved back te
- 00:13:35alert 3D microbio detection system these
- 00:13:38tests are done three separate times to
- 00:13:41ensure accuracy simultaneously samples
- 00:13:44of the same fetal material along with
- 00:13:46the donor's blood are tested in a
- 00:13:49certified PCR laboratory for any viral
- 00:13:51infections you can see how many tests we
- 00:13:55have done and from all of the test we
- 00:13:58have positive for HTV
- 00:14:03HTV C so that fetus you cannot use it no
- 00:14:07we cannot use it and you need to
- 00:14:09understand that this is not the positive
- 00:14:10test in the sample of the stem cell
- 00:14:13preparation it's the positive test in
- 00:14:15the donor's blood and if we even have
- 00:14:18the positive result in the donor's blood
- 00:14:21and don't have it in all our checkups in
- 00:14:23the fetus stemell preparations we still
- 00:14:27don't use it and still disc started what
- 00:14:29is the percentage that you find of
- 00:14:32fetuses that you cannot use 10% okay
- 00:14:35nearly 10% of the fetuses we cannot use
- 00:14:38it there are different reasons for that
- 00:14:41there there is a mology sterility
- 00:14:43infection sterility and also the quality
- 00:14:47control of the proliferation potency of
- 00:14:50of the stem cells there is the main
- 00:14:52three reasons why we can discard the
- 00:14:55fetal stem cell preparations so even if
- 00:14:58the samples are clean of all viruses and
- 00:15:01diseases the viability of the cells are
- 00:15:03not good yeah sometimes it happens
- 00:15:06because of the there's different reasons
- 00:15:08because not each fetus is the same their
- 00:15:12difference and development of their
- 00:15:14difference and the donors also are
- 00:15:16different and the style of their life
- 00:15:19are different and we don't know exactly
- 00:15:21what influence on the quality of the
- 00:15:24stem cells proliferation potency
- 00:15:27sometimes we have the sterile sample the
- 00:15:30microbiology test was good the PCR test
- 00:15:33also was good but the quality of the
- 00:15:37proliferation of the stem cells is not
- 00:15:39enough so we also discarded these tests
- 00:15:43are also done three separate times to
- 00:15:45ensure accuracy comprehensively testing
- 00:15:47for viral contamination once the samples
- 00:15:50have been cleared for safety they head
- 00:15:52to the research and development
- 00:15:54department where they focus on the
- 00:15:55quality and viability of the cells
- 00:15:58starting with checking their physical
- 00:15:59characteristics and overall morphology
- 00:16:02using a flow cytometer they begin to
- 00:16:05separate the cell types from one another
- 00:16:07with specialized markers as well as
- 00:16:10checking their mitochondrial or energy
- 00:16:12potential which is crucial to predict
- 00:16:14how efficient the cells will behave in
- 00:16:16the patient after injection you put one
- 00:16:18cell and you wanted to test to see if it
- 00:16:21was going to replicate and to see how
- 00:16:23healthy it is and and that one cell
- 00:16:25created that yes this is live real full
- 00:16:29time video of a single cardiomyocyte or
- 00:16:32fetal heart stem cell beating in real
- 00:16:35time that I recorded while there this is
- 00:16:38live video of a colony of the same fetal
- 00:16:41heart cells beating in unison after
- 00:16:44allowing them to proliferate in vitro
- 00:16:47starting from a single fetal heart cell
- 00:16:50this is timelapse footage of the fetal
- 00:16:53endothelial stem cells which are
- 00:16:55responsible for the construction of our
- 00:16:57blood vessels and build new capillaries
- 00:17:00to Aid in increased blood circulation
- 00:17:02after they are injected we are watching
- 00:17:05in vitro the fetal endothelial cells
- 00:17:08forming their own newly formed vascular
- 00:17:12system so you're basically mimicking
- 00:17:14what it would be like once the cell goes
- 00:17:16into the human body yep okay we can not
- 00:17:19cultivate the fetal stem cells we just
- 00:17:22check up how they replicate in vitra so
- 00:17:26then we can be sure that it will be
- 00:17:29replicating in the organism of our
- 00:17:32patient so it really is about only
- 00:17:34administering the right amount of cells
- 00:17:37for each patient because once they're
- 00:17:39injected that happens yeah very often
- 00:17:42the uh the patient ask how many uh stem
- 00:17:45cells you will inject of course when we
- 00:17:48are talking about the cultivated stem
- 00:17:50cells it's important to know how many
- 00:17:53stem cells you will be injected because
- 00:17:55they already proliferate in vitro and
- 00:17:59they don't have any potency to
- 00:18:00proliferate in the body so but when we
- 00:18:03are talking about the fetal stem cells
- 00:18:05they can replicate when other companies
- 00:18:09use cultivated stem cells they cannot
- 00:18:12Define their proliferative potential
- 00:18:14because they already use that potential
- 00:18:17in vitro yeah and now if we using the
- 00:18:21fetal stem cells not cultivated s cells
- 00:18:24the whole their potential cover up the
- 00:18:28whole body of the patient and we don't
- 00:18:31uh waste it uh in in vro cultivation so
- 00:18:36that's why the amount of fetal stem
- 00:18:38cells may be not so high like like the
- 00:18:41cultivated stem cells but the
- 00:18:42proliferative potential of them is like
- 00:18:46100 times higher when we are talking
- 00:18:49about like autological very often you
- 00:18:51hear people say why do you need new
- 00:18:55fetuses all the time why can't you just
- 00:18:57cultivate and replicate from one but
- 00:18:59you're explaining that it's not nearly
- 00:19:02as powerful for a therapy because
- 00:19:04they're not capable of going into the
- 00:19:07body and reproducing like the
- 00:19:09non-cultivated cells y so what you're
- 00:19:12doing is basically the most powerful
- 00:19:14version of fetal stem cell therapy yeah
- 00:19:17yeah and it's not only the most powerful
- 00:19:19of fetal stem cells therapy it's the
- 00:19:22most powerful in whole world and in
- 00:19:25whole researches of the stem cells we C
- 00:19:28clinical use why because we have like
- 00:19:31three types of stem cells embryonic stem
- 00:19:33cells yeah fetal stem cells and also
- 00:19:36autological or allogenic but cultivated
- 00:19:40cells embryonic is not safe they can
- 00:19:43cause the cancer everybody knows about
- 00:19:46that embryonic stem cells are derived
- 00:19:49from four to 5 day old blasticus after
- 00:19:52inv vitro
- 00:19:53fertilization there are no organs or
- 00:19:56organ specific stem cells formed at 4 to
- 00:19:595 days of gestation embryonic stem cells
- 00:20:02have a unique ability to develop into
- 00:20:04any type of cell in the body which
- 00:20:07creates a problem tumor
- 00:20:09formation the ability of embryonic stem
- 00:20:12cells to form non-cancerous tumors
- 00:20:14called teratomas is one of their
- 00:20:16defining traits it's also a frightening
- 00:20:19one particularly for those who hope to
- 00:20:21develop therapies from the cells fetal
- 00:20:25stem cells are organ specific stem cells
- 00:20:28der derived from the tissues of a
- 00:20:30developing fetus obtained between the
- 00:20:327th and 11th week of gestation these
- 00:20:36cells have already undergone
- 00:20:37specialization in the germ layers and
- 00:20:40are tissue specific feto stem cells are
- 00:20:43safe they are not cultivated so they
- 00:20:47don't lose its potential and the
- 00:20:50autological or differentiated yeah for
- 00:20:53example uh M HL stem cells they don't
- 00:20:57have any potential uh when they are
- 00:20:59injected so maybe they can influence he
- 00:21:04in some way but it's cannot be so useful
- 00:21:09and it can hold for for the years like
- 00:21:12we are talking about the fetal senss now
- 00:21:15just walk towards me just
- 00:21:18walk no just walk normal just walk
- 00:21:21towards
- 00:21:24me this is four-year-old Sophia Jones
- 00:21:28around the time a pediatric neurologist
- 00:21:30diagnosed Sophia with rri congenital
- 00:21:33muscular distrophy and so when her
- 00:21:36doctor um he was a specialist in this
- 00:21:38particular disease which is Ric muscular
- 00:21:41distrophy um he did say that she's
- 00:21:45healthy now but not for long and she's
- 00:21:47four years old she's as sweet as can be
- 00:21:50that just was a complete shock I mean to
- 00:21:54know she's healthy now not for long like
- 00:21:56what does that mean the lifespan is
- 00:21:59probably 19 20 years old um you can plan
- 00:22:02on by the time she's seven or eight in a
- 00:22:05wheelchair feeding too because they
- 00:22:07don't have an appetite at night she'd
- 00:22:09have oxygen to help her breathe because
- 00:22:11the lungs it affects the lungs and the
- 00:22:14other people that we've met in this
- 00:22:15situation these people need assistance
- 00:22:18from when they start school they have a
- 00:22:20full-time assistant next to them and you
- 00:22:22think about that is the age and Sophia
- 00:22:24is 13 years old now and the dignity like
- 00:22:28that goes along with you want your
- 00:22:30privacy as you get older and you always
- 00:22:32have to have an aid with you or Mom or
- 00:22:34Dad or helping her to get out of the
- 00:22:36door to go to the bathroom uh to have an
- 00:22:40aid with her full time I can't imagine
- 00:22:43waking up five times a night and having
- 00:22:44to turn my child because you know they
- 00:22:46need to be repositioned and they cannot
- 00:22:48turn themselves they're too weak her
- 00:22:50doctor when I would ask questions he
- 00:22:53would actually say we'll cross that
- 00:22:54bridge when we get there and I didn't
- 00:22:56you don't really know what you're
- 00:22:57dealing with and quite frankly you know
- 00:22:59you're not supposed to look on the
- 00:23:00internet and that's exactly what we do
- 00:23:02you know you go home and I mean it was
- 00:23:04very dark dark days ahead of us because
- 00:23:07it was shocking but I think what's more
- 00:23:10shocking is that they have nothing to
- 00:23:13offer you and and so they gave us a
- 00:23:16diagnosis they gave us a prognosis and
- 00:23:18then they tell us to come back every 3
- 00:23:19to six months to measure her decline
- 00:23:23because there is no progression there's
- 00:23:25just going to be regression from there
- 00:23:27and that's really the solution there is
- 00:23:29no drug if there is a drug I mean at
- 00:23:32that point you're willing to do anything
- 00:23:33right I I'd even take a drug I'd take
- 00:23:35anything but there was nothing concrete
- 00:23:39that we could do when we left the
- 00:23:41clinic we are hoping for some type of
- 00:23:43treatment well he did say he was like
- 00:23:46maybe in 10 years there's going to be
- 00:23:48something so in 10
- 00:23:51years okay but let's talk about the
- 00:23:54Jerry Lewis you know he here he raised
- 00:23:56$2.45 billion
- 00:23:59and that was like 50 years ago and we
- 00:24:01still have nothing when her doctor
- 00:24:03diagnosed her he said lots of parents
- 00:24:06are desperate and just so you know not
- 00:24:08to bother trying anything because he
- 00:24:11said he's seen parents go broke you know
- 00:24:13literally cuz you're so desperate and
- 00:24:15you're trying everything and nothing
- 00:24:16will work and so that was his advice
- 00:24:18like do not put your money into anything
- 00:24:21else because I'm telling you it will not
- 00:24:23work so that was the picture that was
- 00:24:26the picture that we were pain Ed this is
- 00:24:29what we're going to she was diagnosed at
- 00:24:304 and that's kind of the picture of that
- 00:24:33we were like looking for for the next I
- 00:24:36don't know 16 17 years less than a year
- 00:24:40of Sophia's diagnosis her parents
- 00:24:42discovered fetal stem cell therapy and
- 00:24:44decided to give it a
- 00:24:47[Music]
- 00:24:52try this is Sophia at muscular distrophy
- 00:24:55camp at age 6 after receiving two annual
- 00:24:58ual fetal stem cell Therapies in 2012
- 00:25:00and 2013 the girl in the wheelchair to
- 00:25:03the right is 8 years old and has
- 00:25:06Sophia's exact same diagnosis rri
- 00:25:09congenital muscular distrophy everyone
- 00:25:11is actually in that situation except for
- 00:25:13us I first met Sophia the following year
- 00:25:17after her fourth fetal stem cell therapy
- 00:25:19after the very first treatment within
- 00:25:21that next week she went from falling 15
- 00:25:23to 20 times a day down to no times she
- 00:25:26doesn't fall anymore
- 00:25:30Sophie we're getting you a hula hoop
- 00:25:33girl what are you ready
- 00:25:40yep and I've been following Sophia's
- 00:25:42Journey ever since no more inje going
- 00:25:46back to the doctor who gave her the
- 00:25:48diagnosis um we sat down I'll never
- 00:25:50forget we sat down in the office and he
- 00:25:53said how are things going as he's
- 00:25:54looking at his computer and we said
- 00:25:56really good and his neck about snapped
- 00:25:58off because he doesn't he hear really
- 00:26:00good in his office and he said well
- 00:26:03what's going on you could tell that he
- 00:26:05was just super surprised to hear that
- 00:26:07she's doing well actually better than
- 00:26:10the year before MH cuz they wanted you
- 00:26:12to come back every year to just measure
- 00:26:15their decline right and uh we it was
- 00:26:18exciting to show them that she's gotten
- 00:26:20better that's great that's awesome no
- 00:26:22more falling down congratulations no no
- 00:26:24pain how do you personally feel like
- 00:26:27like you're if you're remember last year
- 00:26:29and then after you got home did you feel
- 00:26:31like you noticed any differences well
- 00:26:34later in the year I noticed my grades
- 00:26:36and I liked School more than I hated
- 00:26:39school which was I would never think
- 00:26:42that would ever happen but partly due to
- 00:26:45confusion from Sophia's American doctors
- 00:26:48over her improvements in 2016 when
- 00:26:51Sophia was 8 years old 4 years after her
- 00:26:54original diagnosis a direct DNA
- 00:26:57sequencing analysis of Sophia's genes
- 00:26:59was conducted evaluating the various
- 00:27:01mutations related to ol congenital
- 00:27:04muscular distrophy which further
- 00:27:06cemented Sophia's diagnosis showing
- 00:27:08hetero zygos mutations of the co 6 A2
- 00:27:11Gene making it nearly impossible to
- 00:27:14argue that Sophia has been misdiagnosed
- 00:27:17the muscular destrophy Association also
- 00:27:19recommends this DNA test because genetic
- 00:27:22testing can shorten the time to
- 00:27:23diagnosis and prevent misdiagnosis of
- 00:27:27muscular distrophy
- 00:27:28and so yeah the doctor this last just
- 00:27:30our recent uh yeah within last six
- 00:27:33months she was surprised and questioned
- 00:27:36the diagnosis because she's never seen a
- 00:27:38child at her age look like her um by
- 00:27:41that point you know they are in a
- 00:27:42wheelchair
- 00:27:44fulltime and they're you know using a
- 00:27:46feed feeding tube and a respirator and
- 00:27:50she's just never needed anything like
- 00:27:51that and because of the the scoliosis a
- 00:27:54lot of times they have to put rods in
- 00:27:55their back at that point uh at GR
- 00:28:02like it's worth noting that the
- 00:28:04peer-reviewed medical literature on AIC
- 00:28:06muscular distrophy States most of the
- 00:28:09patients die of respiratory failure in
- 00:28:11the first decade of
- 00:28:23Life
- 00:28:26hello are you
- 00:28:28[Music]
- 00:28:35[Music]
- 00:28:37so can we say that the situation pretty
- 00:28:39much like the same in person to the last
- 00:28:44time time I would say stronger
- 00:28:48stronger I would say a lot more
- 00:28:52endurance um with school and walking
- 00:28:55good
- 00:28:59what about strength in extremities like
- 00:29:02strength do you feel like you're
- 00:29:03stronger with your hands kind know
- 00:29:05probably the same probably the same the
- 00:29:07same mhm and what about physical therapy
- 00:29:10doing physical therapy yes we're doing
- 00:29:13regular basis Physical Therapy okay she
- 00:29:16is now um taking initiative to do a lot
- 00:29:20of it on her own okay so she's um
- 00:29:23walking on the treadmill every single
- 00:29:25day one mile at least about Mile and she
- 00:29:29can do two
- 00:29:31miles great job
- 00:29:34yeah sometimes any pain in your body no
- 00:29:38not painful
- 00:29:41feelings what about your breathing this
- 00:29:44normal yeah that's good kids by 10
- 00:29:47they're not walking with her condition
- 00:29:49she's 13 and she keeps improving in
- 00:29:52strength and so she's just very stable
- 00:29:56hi are you good nice you too what are
- 00:30:01you guys going to do swim so nothing has
- 00:30:05gotten worse through all of these years
- 00:30:08you know you're always worried about it
- 00:30:09even though we're doing all of this
- 00:30:10stuff for her you're always in the back
- 00:30:11of your mind like is there something
- 00:30:12that's going to happen yeah sure of
- 00:30:14course but her muscles and everything
- 00:30:15are showing that they're completely
- 00:30:17stable so that's huge it's huge it's
- 00:30:20huge I'm just so proud I'm so proud of
- 00:30:23everything's so good I'm so happy while
- 00:30:27following patience for this story I
- 00:30:29frequently found family members also
- 00:30:32trying fetal stem cell therapy you know
- 00:30:34through the years watching Sophia
- 00:30:36receive these treatments and having a
- 00:30:37benefit I thought you know I'm I'm here
- 00:30:39I'm going across the world with her so I
- 00:30:43thought I'd give it a shot there is a
- 00:30:45lot that goes into a major diagnosis
- 00:30:46like that and the stress that comes
- 00:30:49along with it and I think it triggers a
- 00:30:50lot of different things and along with
- 00:30:53that came uh diagnosis of celiac hashad
- 00:30:57and suar friends and so I was physically
- 00:31:01watching my body just
- 00:31:04completely I was getting inflamed I
- 00:31:06couldn't contr my weight was going up
- 00:31:08there was I mean I wasn't changing
- 00:31:10anything yeah I was just swelling every
- 00:31:11day my eyes were poofed out and I was
- 00:31:14just getting really I was declining very
- 00:31:17quickly and it was almost like spiraling
- 00:31:19out of control um immediately my I
- 00:31:23inflammation started going away and my
- 00:31:26numbers improved dramatically so it was
- 00:31:29great to have some blood work to refer
- 00:31:31to so I could see the my blood work was
- 00:31:34um improving so my hashad is now uh fine
- 00:31:39I don't take medication for my thyroid
- 00:31:42and my Celiac uh this that's which is
- 00:31:45huge by the way that's negative I no
- 00:31:47longer am Celiac um sugars I think still
- 00:31:50there's something there but I I don't
- 00:31:52really deal with the effects of it so I
- 00:31:54don't notice it so I I mean I'm thrilled
- 00:31:57I'm I'm thankful can do it yeah she's
- 00:31:59come miles miles away from you know just
- 00:32:02her energy and really life being sucked
- 00:32:05back into her so that's it's um made a
- 00:32:08big difference yeah um yeah in America
- 00:32:13with all the autologus so adult stem
- 00:32:15cells that are like a big boom people
- 00:32:17like to oh I I had that done I had the
- 00:32:20stem cells yes there is some influence
- 00:32:23of injected of the autological stem
- 00:32:25cells but it's not the same and they
- 00:32:28cannot be sure that it will be divided
- 00:32:31when we are talking about the adult stem
- 00:32:33cells there is two types of procedures
- 00:32:36one when the person just took the stem
- 00:32:39cells like from the fat for example is
- 00:32:42the most popular there is two ways they
- 00:32:44took from the fat and then they injected
- 00:32:47uh directly to the blood in like in an
- 00:32:50hour in your body was stem cells they
- 00:32:52took from your body stem cells and just
- 00:32:54injected the same stem cells into your
- 00:32:56body how we can can uh expected a big
- 00:32:59results from that of course not uh and
- 00:33:03the second way when they took uh the
- 00:33:05stem cells from your fat and then they
- 00:33:08cultivated them but if they cultivated
- 00:33:11them they have two uh two options the
- 00:33:14first one uh they uh start proliferate
- 00:33:18and all their potential was wasted in
- 00:33:22vitra yeah and in the petri dish and
- 00:33:24then they injected to the patient the
- 00:33:26The Thirst one reasons why why it's not
- 00:33:29so effective and the second one is the
- 00:33:31same your stem cells they have the same
- 00:33:34epigenetic uh memory they have the same
- 00:33:38uh mistakes in their DNA so uh it's very
- 00:33:42low uh opportunity them to work or to
- 00:33:46improve really rare or or hard diseases
- 00:33:51yeah or neurological or neurological of
- 00:33:54course and uh you know there is also the
- 00:33:57uh always are talking about that okay we
- 00:34:01differentiated uh stem cells we took
- 00:34:03your stem cells and they will be
- 00:34:05differentiated into the neuronal St
- 00:34:07cells of course when you have the
- 00:34:09commercial mediums and you put there
- 00:34:12inside like thousands of microelements
- 00:34:15and gra factors of course they men may
- 00:34:18transform to the neuronal stem cells in
- 00:34:21vitro but in your body there is not such
- 00:34:24growth factors in such amount so how can
- 00:34:28they transfer to the neuronal stem
- 00:34:31cells they cannot so people getting
- 00:34:35adult stem cells for Parkinson's and
- 00:34:37things like that they're they're not
- 00:34:38really going to be helped because it
- 00:34:40cannot really help their neural nervous
- 00:34:42system directly it can not how can mhal
- 00:34:45stem cells took from your fat become
- 00:34:48ninal cell from your head why it do does
- 00:34:53not transfer uh from your fat to your
- 00:34:56head in your body if it can so it will
- 00:34:59be improved by
- 00:35:00itself it's almost impossible yes also
- 00:35:04you uh need to know about the main
- 00:35:07limitation if you uh cultivate your
- 00:35:12adult stem cell from your body you have
- 00:35:15only around 50 divisions you will have
- 00:35:19the problem with the it will be elderly
- 00:35:23cells and uh they have no any Prof
- 00:35:27creative potential when you inject it in
- 00:35:30the body adult stem cells also known as
- 00:35:34mesenchimal stem cells are generally
- 00:35:37obtained from an adult's bone marrow or
- 00:35:39fat however they do not have the ability
- 00:35:42to transform into vital organ specific
- 00:35:45stem cells like brain cells after human
- 00:35:48injection similarly umbilical cord stem
- 00:35:51cells also lack the ability to transform
- 00:35:54into vital organ specific stem cells
- 00:35:57such as brain brain cells after human
- 00:35:59injection in contrast fetal stem cells
- 00:36:02which are already vital organ specific
- 00:36:05stem cells do not require transformation
- 00:36:08after injection to provide a wide array
- 00:36:11of genuine vital organ specific stem
- 00:36:14cells including neurological or brain
- 00:36:16stem cells because they already are
- 00:36:20organ specific stem cells at the time of
- 00:36:23injection what is your kind of response
- 00:36:25to people that get umbilical cord cells
- 00:36:28uh for similar ailments as what people
- 00:36:30go to m for with C blood is the same
- 00:36:34situation like with ofical or with the
- 00:36:38fat stem cells why again they hope if
- 00:36:43they use it it will be transformed in
- 00:36:46the ninal stem cells but there is no
- 00:36:49reason why they need to start to
- 00:36:51differentiating that the only benefit of
- 00:36:54the C blood stem cells comparing to fat
- 00:36:57is that it's allogenic that not not
- 00:36:59yours cells but it cannot help in the
- 00:37:04neurological diseases because it's not
- 00:37:06there is no way how they can do that
- 00:37:09there is no mechanism for that which
- 00:37:11would mean that clinics and clinical
- 00:37:13trials around the world offering aous
- 00:37:16stem cells derived from the patient's
- 00:37:18fat or bone marrow or allergenic stem
- 00:37:20cells derived from an umbilical cord or
- 00:37:23another adult are deficient in helping
- 00:37:25patients with neurological conditions
- 00:37:27such as Parkinson's or multiple
- 00:37:29sclerosis these companies do
- 00:37:31transparently state that they use only
- 00:37:34mesenchimal stem cells which has been
- 00:37:36clearly documented in the mainstream
- 00:37:38medical literature to be unable to
- 00:37:40transform into vital organ cells after
- 00:37:43human injection mesenchimal stem cells
- 00:37:45can only transform into bone cartilage
- 00:37:49muscle fat and connective tissue after
- 00:37:51human injection to see yes you can see
- 00:37:55the another color and another structure
- 00:37:58and also you can see the connections
- 00:38:01between the cells so they already
- 00:38:03proliferated to the neuronal cells so
- 00:38:06you can see connections between
- 00:38:09them this connections is the connections
- 00:38:12which transfer the information starting
- 00:38:15to communicate with one another and
- 00:38:16build
- 00:38:18connections so this is what happens
- 00:38:20inside the body after injection yeah you
- 00:38:23can see the example this is the Nance
- 00:38:26and the the connections we are literally
- 00:38:29seeing neuronal connections yeah this is
- 00:38:32time-lapse footage of fetal neuronal
- 00:38:34cells in vitro proliferating creating
- 00:38:38new synapses and communicating with one
- 00:38:40another thus creating their own newly
- 00:38:43formed neuronal Network fetal stem cells
- 00:38:46are the only stem cell type where true
- 00:38:49neuronal stem cells can be obtained
- 00:38:52which is crucial for regenerating
- 00:38:54neuronal tissue for degenerative neuron
- 00:38:57Al diseases in 2018 while following
- 00:39:00Sophia's story I met Xavier a
- 00:39:03Parkinson's patient who had just arrived
- 00:39:05to Kev for his first fetal stem cell
- 00:39:07treatment um I found about the M cell uh
- 00:39:11about a month ago I've been diagnosed
- 00:39:15about 5 years ago uh with Parkinson and
- 00:39:18uh I'm really hoping to improve the
- 00:39:21quality of my life overall I think so
- 00:39:23far I've been coping fairly well but I
- 00:39:25feel that the disease is progressing you
- 00:39:27be like I notice you're mildly shaking
- 00:39:30now that that's the Parkinson's the
- 00:39:31moment that's the Parkinson okay Xavier
- 00:39:34found his results to be positive enough
- 00:39:36for him to receive a second round of
- 00:39:38fetal stem cell therapy 3 years later
- 00:39:41the thing which is interesting and this
- 00:39:43is where I believe that my treatment
- 00:39:46helped me quite a bit is this since the
- 00:39:49moment I started to take drugs until
- 00:39:52today the dosage that I that I've been
- 00:39:55taking is exactly the same than
- 00:39:57five or six years ago if you look at the
- 00:40:00um the stats of all people with similar
- 00:40:05diseases within 5 years the drugs that
- 00:40:08they take you regularly every 6 months
- 00:40:11to a year you have to increase the
- 00:40:13dosage of the frequency I have
- 00:40:16not changed anything as of yet and the
- 00:40:19treatment that he gave me 5 years ago is
- 00:40:22exactly the same than the one I'm taking
- 00:40:24today so when I've seen um the the my
- 00:40:28neurologist and I told him that I after
- 00:40:30my first trip to Ukraine that I had gone
- 00:40:33there the first reaction was
- 00:40:36dismissal he said he was well you should
- 00:40:38have told me I would have told you you
- 00:40:40were wasting your time and money and
- 00:40:42when I've seen him um after the
- 00:40:45treatment it was well like 3 four five
- 00:40:48months after the first treatment he
- 00:40:50looked at me and he says well you know
- 00:40:52maybe that treatment did do did you good
- 00:40:56I feel that it's only slowed down quite
- 00:40:59a bit the the progression it doesn't
- 00:41:02mean that I'm cured because I still feel
- 00:41:05you know sometimes the symptoms and um
- 00:41:08but I overall I'm very happy that to see
- 00:41:11that it's very slow progression it it
- 00:41:14really helped me quite a
- 00:41:17bit this is Bill a 78-year-old who was
- 00:41:21diagnosed with Parkinson's when he was
- 00:41:2372 Bill received his first fetal stem
- 00:41:26cell tree in 2020 I caught up with Bill
- 00:41:30arriving for his second treatment this
- 00:41:33place doesn't remind you of Spacey 2001
- 00:41:36it's like something out of a science
- 00:41:37fiction movie it is yeah is
- 00:41:40great so if you don't mind we'll ask you
- 00:41:42a few questions about the the results
- 00:41:44you had after the previous treatment so
- 00:41:46can you tell us what results you had how
- 00:41:49can you explain it I had a number of
- 00:41:51things that went very well for me I had
- 00:41:54a uh B joint which was very painful
- 00:41:57rarely do I have problems with it now my
- 00:42:00knees were kind of sore no problems I
- 00:42:03had a rotator cuff uh major chair in my
- 00:42:07shoulder I still have some limitation in
- 00:42:09that but it's probably
- 00:42:1280% of what it was originally my doctor
- 00:42:15said I had a heart
- 00:42:17murmur and that seemed to be gone what
- 00:42:20about your walk did you see any kind of
- 00:42:22improvements in that everything was
- 00:42:24better my golf game got better all my
- 00:42:27friends that have seen me before and
- 00:42:29after the treatment were very uh
- 00:42:32complimentary on how much better I
- 00:42:34looked what I did every year I go to a a
- 00:42:39physical therapist and a occupational
- 00:42:41therapist and voice coach I had gone
- 00:42:45year after
- 00:42:46year and after the treatment everything
- 00:42:49had
- 00:42:50improved I was faster on the a test that
- 00:42:54they gave me a lot faster
- 00:42:58when they test your strength in your
- 00:42:59hand they commented that Not only was a
- 00:43:03stronger for a 78 but for 48 year old
- 00:43:07guy during our last treatment when you
- 00:43:10were here you told us that it was
- 00:43:12difficult for you to pronounce the words
- 00:43:16to make the sentences in general after
- 00:43:19the treatment did you see any
- 00:43:20improvements yes no what about your mood
- 00:43:24in general I'm a happy guy
- 00:43:29many adult patients treated for
- 00:43:30neurological conditions like Parkinson's
- 00:43:33have the neuronal and relevance nervous
- 00:43:35system fetal stem cells injected
- 00:43:37intrathecally which is a procedure where
- 00:43:39the cells are injected directly into the
- 00:43:41spinal fluid allowing for a more direct
- 00:43:44delivery into the brain this injection
- 00:43:47not only includes various neuronal fetal
- 00:43:50stem and progenitor cells but a very
- 00:43:53high concentration of dopamine
- 00:43:55progenitor cells as well which is
- 00:43:57particularly unique and important since
- 00:44:00Parkinson's disease is a
- 00:44:02neurodegenerative disorder that affects
- 00:44:05predominantly the dopamine producing
- 00:44:07neurons in the
- 00:44:13brain my name is lisis verloop I'm a
- 00:44:15chiropractor in Surprise Arizona bill is
- 00:44:17a patient of mine I've been working on
- 00:44:19Bill since 2009 he was diagnosed with
- 00:44:22Parkinson's in
- 00:44:232014 uh I've been taking care of him now
- 00:44:25sporadically since he's had Parkinson's
- 00:44:28I see a number of Parkinson's patients
- 00:44:30probably two to three a week um and one
- 00:44:34of the things that I notice that over
- 00:44:35the years they tend to get stiffer and
- 00:44:37stiffer and stiffer to the point where
- 00:44:39um it become very difficult to adjust
- 00:44:42and we have to use different types of
- 00:44:43methods of moving the joints around but
- 00:44:45still at this point I'm able to get uh
- 00:44:47good adjustments in his neck he's loose
- 00:44:49enough to allow that I'm able to get
- 00:44:52good adjustments in his midback which
- 00:44:53he's able to allow that and whereas many
- 00:44:56other people his level I I've no longer
- 00:44:58been able to get structural adjustments
- 00:45:00in those areas because they've just
- 00:45:01become too rigid so whatever therapy's
- 00:45:03doing I believe it's helping at least
- 00:45:05from what I can feel in the spine and
- 00:45:06the mobility is still there it allows me
- 00:45:08to still move some of the joints
- 00:45:11around and Bill continues to enjoy
- 00:45:14greater strength and
- 00:45:17Mobility aha oh it's you yeah I didn't
- 00:45:22recognize you with that
- 00:45:24mysterious this is Anna
- 00:45:28this is Lawrence who was diagnosed with
- 00:45:30multiple sclerosis in early 2011
- 00:45:33Lawrence's first fetal stem cell therapy
- 00:45:36was later the same year in 2011 and he
- 00:45:39has been receiving fetal stem cell
- 00:45:41therapy almost every year ever since I
- 00:45:45first met Lawrence in
- 00:45:472015 we're on our way to see Dr
- 00:45:51tow so then the only thing you're really
- 00:45:53taking that might affect the course of
- 00:45:55the disease would be rebith which really
- 00:45:58does not affect the course of the
- 00:46:01disease that's pretty much true yeah
- 00:46:03okay let me see stand up let's see how
- 00:46:04you do this is without a cane now yes
- 00:46:08let me see you walk if you don't
- 00:46:10mind now turn
- 00:46:15around he walked fairly well without
- 00:46:18assistance as you can see uh bring your
- 00:46:21hands out go like this now bring them
- 00:46:24together bring them together just okay
- 00:46:27to the horizontal there's no tramer
- 00:46:31which there was initially how about your
- 00:46:33grasp squeeze good very good strength
- 00:46:37there very good so as you can see he's
- 00:46:40made pretty good progress considering
- 00:46:43how about the dizziness that that was a
- 00:46:46big deal the dizziness I I feel pretty
- 00:46:48sturdy these days okay my observation is
- 00:46:52that if I didn't know what he had I at
- 00:46:57this point I might not
- 00:46:59know I can't attribute the Improvement
- 00:47:02to anything else that we're giving them
- 00:47:05ordinarily in your experience if you
- 00:47:07don't mind me asking go ahead um
- 00:47:09considering how many years ago he's been
- 00:47:10diagnosed 2011 like what do you usually
- 00:47:13see some people will just go on down the
- 00:47:18trail and become worse and worse and
- 00:47:19worse and become veteran which I have
- 00:47:22seen and they'll fail every therapy he's
- 00:47:25basically reached
- 00:47:27I would say a plateau and stabilized
- 00:47:30where he's no longer declining I'm very
- 00:47:33impressed with what I'm looking at I got
- 00:47:35to tell you and I've been at it 50 years
- 00:47:40almost that on a tast him and he's been
- 00:47:42my patient for about 30 so what do we
- 00:47:46say about all this I don't know except
- 00:47:47to say that there's something that works
- 00:47:50here I don't think it's anything we're
- 00:47:52giving them I really
- 00:47:53don't thank goodness we don't have to do
- 00:47:56a lot he doesn't use canes anymore I
- 00:47:59mean I'm
- 00:48:01pleased what else can I tell you that's
- 00:48:04all I wanted here just you be honest
- 00:48:06tell no tell you the truth I thought it
- 00:48:07was crap I'd tell you that too I'm the
- 00:48:10first one ask him I see a lot of stuff
- 00:48:13that's bogus I was not in the beginning
- 00:48:17enthusiastic about all this I said well
- 00:48:20if you got the money to waste go ahead
- 00:48:23but then again you're talking about a
- 00:48:24disease you can't cure so with what we
- 00:48:27have so why not I mean it isn't like
- 00:48:30it's real I've never seen anything quite
- 00:48:32like this I got to be honest if I had
- 00:48:35the bet I I would never think anything
- 00:48:38like this would work but it
- 00:48:41did and I'm you know prove of the
- 00:48:43pudding I haven't seen anybody get this
- 00:48:47well anything else that's it I mean this
- 00:48:50is perfect yeah I don't want to yeah now
- 00:48:52you think I was a Salesman for the
- 00:48:54thing but you know what sales those
- 00:48:57salesman I'm glad to see him better
- 00:48:59whatever it
- 00:49:01takes I'm really happy about it I mean
- 00:49:04as his doctor but he was unsteady my God
- 00:49:08yes and you wouldn't let him walk
- 00:49:11without assistance so look where we are
- 00:49:14today I got married in January to to My
- 00:49:17Fabulous
- 00:49:19Anna
- 00:49:22congratulations thank you I mean when I
- 00:49:25first got diagnosed
- 00:49:27like when it finally came down from an
- 00:49:29MS doctor he looked at me and said look
- 00:49:31he goes I got bad news you have
- 00:49:32Progressive primary progressive MS and
- 00:49:36it's just going to get worse when you
- 00:49:38hear
- 00:49:40that it's like getting hit in the face
- 00:49:43with a
- 00:49:44sledgehammer I kind of shut off and shut
- 00:49:46down I I didn't know how to be around
- 00:49:49people I actually gave my girlfriend a
- 00:49:51way out I said look I don't know how bad
- 00:49:55this is going to get we were only like
- 00:49:57less than a year into our relationship I
- 00:49:59said I don't want to drag you into this
- 00:50:00misery because it's going to get dark
- 00:50:04and at times it did get dark I mean did
- 00:50:07I ever think about killing
- 00:50:09myself
- 00:50:11absolutely um it never really got better
- 00:50:13till I I went to Mel and you know after
- 00:50:17the first day of
- 00:50:18treatment I can't say I wasn't skeptical
- 00:50:21because I was even though I knew the
- 00:50:23science was there I was like you know I
- 00:50:24know it doesn't work for everybody and
- 00:50:27varying
- 00:50:28degrees but you know after the first day
- 00:50:30and I could bend my leg and I wasn't
- 00:50:33exhausted anymore and I could pick up a
- 00:50:35pen and sign the room service check and
- 00:50:38when I got back to the
- 00:50:41States um the biggest thing was is like
- 00:50:44I could drive my car with one foot
- 00:50:47whereas I was driving with two feet one
- 00:50:49gas one Brak because my reaction time
- 00:50:52wasn't all that great so these are just
- 00:50:54I mean I know it sounds like they're
- 00:50:56just just little
- 00:50:58things but when you can't do them I got
- 00:51:01back and I was able to paint and hold
- 00:51:03the paintbrush I was able to pick up a
- 00:51:05guitar and just play Simple bar
- 00:51:09chords which I hadn't been able to do in
- 00:51:11a really long time I wasn't able to
- 00:51:14finger pick cuz my right hand didn't
- 00:51:15work

- 00:51:22so I couldn't do that before I you know
- 00:51:25I don't have any of the the tingling the
- 00:51:28cold hands the cold feet overall I look
- 00:51:31at as I'm 85% better and I'm not in a
- 00:51:34wheelchair and my progression has
- 00:51:35stopped I haven't gotten any worse I've
- 00:51:37only gotten better my neurologist um who
- 00:51:41thought basically I'd be in a wheelchair
- 00:51:43by now um was amazed that I could walk
- 00:51:48on the on all his tests which is on a
- 00:51:51level of one to five scale I went from
- 00:51:54one and one and a halfs to three and 1/2
- 00:51:57four five on some of them Scott was
- 00:52:00officially diagnosed with primary
- 00:52:02Progressive multiple sclerosis in
- 00:52:04December of 2019 he received his first
- 00:52:07fetal stem cell therapy in May of 2021
- 00:52:10this interview took place in December of
- 00:52:122021 8 months after his first therapy go
- 00:52:16upstairs come on old
- 00:52:19boy slow down okay Tak five a
- 00:52:24minute you know I I actually considered
- 00:52:26some in this house because I wanted to
- 00:52:27live on one floor especially when they
- 00:52:29told me I was going to be in a
- 00:52:30wheelchair I just I didn't know like how
- 00:52:34my life was going to change in 2011 I
- 00:52:37had suffered four back-to-back heart
- 00:52:38attacks I went to Mell and I came back 6
- 00:52:42months I had a follow up with my
- 00:52:44cardiologist
- 00:52:46and she looked at me and she said well
- 00:52:49other than the three Sten you have in
- 00:52:50your heart she's like I don't see any
- 00:52:52damage she goes you know it's it's what
- 00:52:55was there is repaired it's
- 00:52:57s there was some kind of strange stuff
- 00:53:00in my blood work before I went to Mell
- 00:53:02but last month I had a full blood work
- 00:53:04up and he's like everything is
- 00:53:06normalized you you're you're right where
- 00:53:08you need to be for a 53y old man you
- 00:53:12know any damage that was there before
- 00:53:15you left has now corrected
- 00:53:17itself my cholesterol dropped 32 points
- 00:53:21which in less than 6 months basically
- 00:53:25which was another side effect of my stem
- 00:53:29cell treatment which if that's the worst
- 00:53:31side effect I'm okay with it so would I
- 00:53:35do it
- 00:53:36again absolutely this is Chad who was
- 00:53:39diagnosed with an aggressive form of
- 00:53:41multiple sclerosis in November of 2018
- 00:53:45just 3 months after his diagnosis Chad
- 00:53:48received his first fetal stem cell
- 00:53:49therapy Chad then returned to Ukraine
- 00:53:51for his second therapy in May of 2021 I
- 00:53:55caught up with Chad that following
- 00:53:56December so Chad's initial symptoms
- 00:54:00started in July and the the symptoms
- 00:54:03progressed very quickly up to December
- 00:54:05where he wasn't able to walk down the
- 00:54:06stairs by himself or cut his own food he
- 00:54:08was slurring his words um and so we went
- 00:54:11to Ukraine in February and by the the
- 00:54:14treatments are three days and by the
- 00:54:16second day of the treatment he was able
- 00:54:17to cut his own steak he was able to um
- 00:54:20his arm had stopped shaking he's not
- 00:54:23having the trimmers anymore after he got
- 00:54:25back I think the biggest thing I noticed
- 00:54:27was his walking was so much better he
- 00:54:30was getting to the point where he was
- 00:54:31having to use a cane especially to walk
- 00:54:33downhills like outside or something like
- 00:54:35that um he didn't have to use a cane
- 00:54:37anymore his speech cleared up a lot more
- 00:54:40and the fatigue was he had a lot more
- 00:54:43energy um and I fell a lot I was falling
- 00:54:47um probably at least by weekly and doing
- 00:54:50your at one point you said you were
- 00:54:52falling daily and yeah but I've since
- 00:54:56the trip in May I haven't fallen at all
- 00:54:59not one fall that's awesome okay yeah
- 00:55:02not one fall but I've been getting
- 00:55:04better and better I get stronger every
- 00:55:06day I get more coordination every day
- 00:55:09hopefully everything will come back but
- 00:55:11if it just stays like it is at least I
- 00:55:13can still work I can still be a father I
- 00:55:16can still do everything I want to do I
- 00:55:18mean honestly like the biggest thing for
- 00:55:20me was he can pick up he can pick up his
- 00:55:22baby like that's huge if he hadn't had
- 00:55:25the stem cell treatments he wouldn't
- 00:55:27have any of that mobility in his arm he
- 00:55:30might not even have the left side
- 00:55:31mobility and he's still able to be an
- 00:55:33active father and play with her and you
- 00:55:36know do yard work yeah do yard work and
- 00:55:40all of that fun stuff so that's I mean
- 00:55:42it's it means everything to us to have
- 00:55:45that option available to us you know
- 00:55:47we've seen it work for him twice and
- 00:55:50work very well and his neurologist
- 00:55:52didn't believe in the stem cell
- 00:55:54treatment at all he said that it's like
- 00:55:56throwing crap to the wall and seeing
- 00:55:57what sticks now since he's seen Chad's
- 00:56:00progress he has become more interested
- 00:56:03himself um so it's definitely kind of
- 00:56:05opened his neurologist eyes to some new
- 00:56:08things which is incredible Sophia
- 00:56:11Lawrence and Shad first received fetal
- 00:56:14stem cell therapy within one year of
- 00:56:16their original diagnosis and Scott
- 00:56:19received his first therapy within 2
- 00:56:21years Xavier and Bill received their
- 00:56:24first therapy Within 5 years of their
- 00:56:28diagnosis I noticed that people with
- 00:56:30degenerative diseases who received fetal
- 00:56:32stem cell therapy within this General
- 00:56:35time frame those people generally had
- 00:56:37more dramatic positive results
- 00:56:40scientifically the reason for this would
- 00:56:43be the regenerative nature of fetal stem
- 00:56:46cells fighting against the degenerative
- 00:56:50nature of their disease this year is 18
- 00:56:53years since I was diagnosed with
- 00:56:55multiple sclerosis is and I would
- 00:56:58suspect to have at minimum 20 years
- 00:57:00worth of damage nerve damage to the
- 00:57:03central nervous system and brain lesions
- 00:57:06from multiple sclerosis and so the
- 00:57:08damage that I have you know I I wasn't
- 00:57:11expecting it to overnight be improved
- 00:57:14but I am seeing Improvement
- 00:57:17and um Improvement in my balance in my
- 00:57:20muscle
- 00:57:22spasticity um and that has translated to
- 00:57:24improvement with walking
- 00:57:27I'm not where I want to be at this point
- 00:57:29um I'm you know just trying to increase
- 00:57:32my endurance my ability to walk
- 00:57:34unassisted in my own home is so much
- 00:57:38improved my I'm able to get up from the
- 00:57:41chair from the bed much more easily the
- 00:57:44first day home from Mel I was able to
- 00:57:47walk into my kitchen make a cup of
- 00:57:49coffee carry my coffee to the patio
- 00:57:51without touching any walls um or holding
- 00:57:54on to anyone without using a walker um
- 00:57:58it's on a great distance but that's a
- 00:58:00huge Improvement for me my ability to
- 00:58:02take a shower to get dressed uh without
- 00:58:05just overwhelming fatigue debilitating
- 00:58:08me for the day is much improved and I
- 00:58:11really am hopeful that I can go back to
- 00:58:13ml I already saw what Ms can do
- 00:58:16unchecked I don't want to live in a
- 00:58:18wheelchair sure I don't want to live
- 00:58:21paralyzed what else can you take from
- 00:58:24me I'm going to G gble because I want
- 00:58:28something
- 00:58:29better we have very great results with
- 00:58:32the children with autism it's very high
- 00:58:34successful rate and there is no others
- 00:58:37medicines for the conditions you know
- 00:58:40there is no medicine for autism kids
- 00:58:42kids cannot lie they hate the procedures
- 00:58:47which they are going through here they
- 00:58:49cannot lie that they imagine after stem
- 00:58:52cell treatment they feel better there is
- 00:58:54a clear result of the step's he
- 00:58:57treatment and it makes our work
- 00:59:01special in September of 2019 I met
- 00:59:047-year-old Matt and his mother Amanda
- 00:59:08Matt is diagnosed with autism I also met
- 00:59:114-year-old Jax with his parents Mike and
- 00:59:13Ashley Jax is also diagnosed with autism
- 00:59:17while both families were there at the
- 00:59:19exact same time they did not know each
- 00:59:21other the funny thing was when we got
- 00:59:23off the plane we saw Amanda and we both
- 00:59:26each other like well what the hell would
- 00:59:27she be here for is she going too we got
- 00:59:29off the airplane onto this like shuttle
- 00:59:31to the airport and I saw this other
- 00:59:33American family with a son and then I
- 00:59:35just in my head I was like they must be
- 00:59:36here for the same reason and then it
- 00:59:38kind of like a it was kind of like a
- 00:59:39movie then like the whole shuttle filled
- 00:59:41up and then I like never saw them again
- 00:59:44understandably some parents are nervous
- 00:59:46giving fetal stem cell therapy to their
- 00:59:47child for the first time oh I was still
- 00:59:51we I didn't think I was going to be able
- 00:59:52to pitch it to her cuz I'm the one who
- 00:59:54found it just randomly Google like I
- 00:59:55said ring stuff about autism and
- 00:59:57stumbled upon your your research and
- 00:59:59your video the first documentary and
- 01:00:02then I'm like yo we're going I thought
- 01:00:04for sure she was going to be like no
- 01:00:05chance like once he sent it to me then I
- 01:00:07started looking up scholarly articles
- 01:00:10and you know started printing stuff but
- 01:00:12it it's it's hard because Mel really
- 01:00:15only has one article that was the only
- 01:00:18article that I could find from them and
- 01:00:20then I couldn't really find there wasn't
- 01:00:22there was barely like any research
- 01:00:24anything done especially in the us cuz
- 01:00:26of the controversy I'm a nurse and
- 01:00:28athetist so I provide anesthesia to
- 01:00:31children and adults in the hospital
- 01:00:32setting so I like took that one article
- 01:00:36to work and like I asked like a couple
- 01:00:38of the ducks that I work with who like I
- 01:00:40trust their opinion and they were like
- 01:00:43why not I was a mess the whole time like
- 01:00:46my stomach was just eating itself I'm
- 01:00:47like what the hell did we get oursel
- 01:00:49into I was still sitting in the chair
- 01:00:51researching stuff yesterday cuz I was
- 01:00:53like so nervous yeah like I'm like like
- 01:00:56you know you don't know you really don't
- 01:00:58know what they're injecting here I
- 01:01:00encouraged these two families to meet so
- 01:01:03they can remain in contact once they
- 01:01:04returned back to the States well what
- 01:01:07we're hoping to get is better
- 01:01:10communication back and forth um less of
- 01:01:13like the outbursts and kind of that
- 01:01:16emotional impulse control where he's not
- 01:01:17doesn't go from like 1 to 100 in a
- 01:01:21second Mommy I will already left we're
- 01:01:26not leaving
- 01:01:27yet and then you know maybe in school
- 01:01:30that he can take more information in be
- 01:01:32just be more successful so Jackson just
- 01:01:35turned 4 years old he started showing
- 01:01:37signs of aggression about 18 months from
- 01:01:40that from you know from birth to 18
- 01:01:42months absolutely normal development U
- 01:01:45met all as Milestones appropriately and
- 01:01:48then about 18 months we started no
- 01:01:50noticing like speech regression like he
- 01:01:52was saying Mama dad you know a handful
- 01:01:54of words and then stopped and the more
- 01:01:57we dug into it he ended up being
- 01:02:00diagnosed with autism I guess about 2
- 01:02:01and a half we finally got our diagnosis
- 01:02:04after waiting for about 6 months for a
- 01:02:05doctor's appointment um from then we did
- 01:02:08speech they recommended occupational
- 01:02:10therapy and then uh we started school
- 01:02:13about 3 years old he's in an Autism
- 01:02:15preschool program and there he gets
- 01:02:17speech OT PT um I guess the biggest
- 01:02:21thing is that he's non-verbal he has a
- 01:02:23device he he pushes to use to talk
- 01:02:26dad mom momy dad mom m m poy who is it
- 01:02:32Dad Mom M
- 01:02:34poy um but our hopes were just to give
- 01:02:38him you know a normal life to kind of
- 01:02:40bring him out of this cage that he's in
- 01:02:43so that he can speak and communicate and
- 01:02:46have somewhat of a normal life both
- 01:02:48children received Mells autism protocol
- 01:02:51several months later I started receiving
- 01:02:54text messages from both families
- 01:03:01[Music]
- 01:03:02Jackson who is that Elmo
- 01:03:07Elmo
- 01:03:09I
- 01:03:15[Music]
- 01:03:17love two years later in 2021 both
- 01:03:21families decided to meet at Mel together
- 01:03:23for a second round of therapy for their
- 01:03:25children
- 01:03:26it's like mindboggling it still doesn't
- 01:03:28even feel real at this point like we've
- 01:03:30been to there twice now we've seen
- 01:03:33amazing results twice how long was it
- 01:03:36after the therapy that Jack started
- 01:03:37speaking for the first time a week maybe
- 01:03:40I want to say the first well was I think
- 01:03:43the first thing we saw right was a
- 01:03:44teacher said that they they put him in
- 01:03:46wagons in school and they'll drag him
- 01:03:48like through the hallway like in the
- 01:03:49wagon and I think he saw an owl right
- 01:03:52and he said like he said like an owl
- 01:03:54sound he went like woo woo like that and
- 01:03:56pointed at the owl and he had never done
- 01:03:58anything like that ever and that was
- 01:03:59like we were back for days like 4 days 5
- 01:04:02days maybe and that was like it's funny
- 01:04:05that at that time that was a gigantic
- 01:04:08deal now like he talks so much like it's
- 01:04:10like can you be quiet for a
- 01:04:15second
- 01:04:17the
- 01:04:20the yo
- 01:04:23baby who was it ball
- 01:04:26going
- 01:04:27to Oh
- 01:04:29yay all right I need more money their
- 01:04:33bond is pretty strong and stronger than
- 01:04:36it was you know because Jackson's doing
- 01:04:38so much better you know what I mean that
- 01:04:39they play together and they talk or I
- 01:04:42miss my brother I miss Logan and stuff
- 01:04:44like that so we've only told like I mean
- 01:04:46friends and family and stuff now and
- 01:04:48like I'm I'm probably more vocal about
- 01:04:50it than she is with telling people cuz I
- 01:04:51just feel like it should be out there
- 01:04:52but of the people you have told would
- 01:04:54have been the respons is his primary his
- 01:04:57primary doctor at chop the autism oh the
- 01:05:00developmental her face got beat red when
- 01:05:01I told her she was she was like beat red
- 01:05:04mad yeah she was so mad like basically
- 01:05:08was like that was very dangerous what
- 01:05:10you did with Jackson and like there's
- 01:05:12not enough like study on this like we
- 01:05:15brought the paperwork to show her and
- 01:05:17she was kind of like what is this like
- 01:05:20what do you mean you went there how
- 01:05:22could you do this to your child this is
- 01:05:24unsafe and she was like maybe that's
- 01:05:26what it was maybe that's why he's doing
- 01:05:28better like she didn't really want to
- 01:05:29say like she was she said like he's
- 01:05:33grown older and he's been doing therapy
- 01:05:35and he's been in school and yes that
- 01:05:37those are all contributions to and I'm
- 01:05:39like arguing with her cuz I'm like well
- 01:05:42yeah but he came back from Mel and in
- 01:05:44one week we were seeing results like a
- 01:05:46light switch went off you or went on
- 01:05:48should I say and she just didn't want to
- 01:05:50hear well that's from this and that's
- 01:05:51from therapy I'm like nah I don't I
- 01:05:53don't think so yeah we' been doing
- 01:05:56therapy for months and months and months
- 01:05:57and it just has been like this and then
- 01:05:59it goes like that poopy your pants poy
- 01:06:04your
- 01:06:06pantsy pants poy your pants i
- 01:06:14k m mom she says he's good to go I mean
- 01:06:17just immediately I mean the language
- 01:06:19communication was so much better um he
- 01:06:22started sleeping through the nights
- 01:06:23which he had never done before in his
- 01:06:24own room in his room and going from
- 01:06:27three to four word sentences which is
- 01:06:29what we were used to I mean now he's
- 01:06:31talking in complete sentences and
- 01:06:32talking with his brothers and he's
- 01:06:34happier um just I mean we're able to
- 01:06:37have a more normal dialogue with our son
- 01:06:39which we had never done before so and
- 01:06:41then just getting back a few months ago
- 01:06:43I mean we just saw another big increase
- 01:06:45and so it's been it's been a Monumental
- 01:06:48difference from what it was a couple
- 01:06:49years ago and it's hard to sometimes
- 01:06:51remember like you know this is what our
- 01:06:52life was like before um but you know we
- 01:06:55have friends and therapists and who
- 01:06:57remind us and I mean it's just been
- 01:06:59amazing how much better he is um you
- 01:07:01know after those two treatments so I
- 01:07:03live three houses down the street and I
- 01:07:06I was out in my yard the other day and
- 01:07:09Matt came whizzing by on his bike had
- 01:07:11his helmet on I says he says hi Grandma
- 01:07:14and I said hi where are you going he
- 01:07:15says oh I'm riding my bike to swim
- 01:07:18team and I mean
- 01:07:21that's that's not something that would
- 01:07:23have ever been on the radar screen
- 01:07:26a couple of years ago I'd say like after
- 01:07:28the first one he went to be able to like
- 01:07:30follow like maybe one step two step like
- 01:07:34first do this then do this Matt and you
- 01:07:37know we felt like that was an
- 01:07:38improvement and then even since we got
- 01:07:40back it's like okay Matt you need to do
- 01:07:42this this this and this and it's like
- 01:07:45okay which is huge yeah so get your
- 01:07:48Jamie on brush your teeth clean up your
- 01:07:50room and make your bed I mean and no
- 01:07:53problem before impossible never would
- 01:07:54have happened so yeah as Matt has
- 01:07:58improved his relationships with his
- 01:08:00brothers have improved and our
- 01:08:02relationship has improved I've noticed
- 01:08:04his emotions are more regulated biggest
- 01:08:06thing with the SIM cells is his language
- 01:08:09the way that he's able to explain things
- 01:08:11it things just kind of seem to be
- 01:08:14clicking Mommy Mom it's this sprad yep
- 01:08:17and when does it come you know it's not
- 01:08:19just the child who's making the
- 01:08:21improvements it's everyone in their
- 01:08:24sphere improves when they improve
- 01:08:27certainly not not like it was before so
- 01:08:30um it's just been a it's been a god s
- 01:08:32for sure screaming meltdowns hitting
- 01:08:36those kind of things have just slowly
- 01:08:38melted away and I don't think Matt ever
- 01:08:40had a slumber party actually slept over
- 01:08:42to friend's house until like about a
- 01:08:44year and a half ago after the first
- 01:08:45round of STS and man I remember being so
- 01:08:47nervous like gosh he doesn't like you
- 01:08:49know do something crazy and parents are
- 01:08:51going to hate us the next day and I
- 01:08:52remember talking to him the next morning
- 01:08:54like it was great Matt was awes awesome
- 01:08:55and no problems at all and so and then
- 01:08:58since then we've had tons of sleepovers
- 01:09:00and I mean just is treated like a normal
- 01:09:02kid and it's been fantastic so and that
- 01:09:04never happened before literally
- 01:09:07so I've been working with Matt since um
- 01:09:102016 and when we started his gap between
- 01:09:14the kids that were his age and the stuff
- 01:09:17that he was doing the Gap was really big
- 01:09:20um when he first started we were working
- 01:09:22on just simply connecting two dots um I
- 01:09:27asked him to write his name and that was
- 01:09:29he drew me this line when I said Matt
- 01:09:31write your name and he wrote that and
- 01:09:33then I wasn't sure if he understood what
- 01:09:34I meant by write your name so I said
- 01:09:36Matt I said can you write Matt and then
- 01:09:39he did the dots so two different prompts
- 01:09:42first was a line first was dots cuz he
- 01:09:45he knew that this was not what I wanted
- 01:09:47but he still didn't know what I wanted
- 01:09:49so he changed the line to dots just your
- 01:09:53name Buddy
- 01:09:57last
- 01:10:02name and he stays on task you saw him
- 01:10:05for a whole hour he doesn't get out of
- 01:10:06his chair he's like what's next what's
- 01:10:09next it's so great to see how it impacts
- 01:10:14everyone's
- 01:10:16life mine
- 01:10:17[Laughter]
- 01:10:19included I went there the first time
- 01:10:21with Matt and he got treated and I
- 01:10:23thought I just travel across the world
- 01:10:26and I didn't get
- 01:10:27treated so when I went the second time
- 01:10:29um not only did Matt get treated but I
- 01:10:31got treated and I took our older son
- 01:10:33Sean and he got treated Sean for years
- 01:10:36had been kind of dealing with a stomach
- 01:10:38issues and we've been just kind of
- 01:10:40battling this issue anytime he got
- 01:10:42overheated or overrun he would just get
- 01:10:44sick and so the three of us were there
- 01:10:47we all got treated in the same room so
- 01:10:50before I got these the stem cells in the
- 01:10:54Ukraine what what happened is I would
- 01:10:56usually have a stomach pain at least
- 01:10:58once a week and I'm better now I think
- 01:11:03that's because the stem cells have been
- 01:11:05really helping a lot we haven't had any
- 01:11:07issues since he got back hav't had a
- 01:11:08single issue all summer which is
- 01:11:10probably the first summer in his entire
- 01:11:12life where we haven't had any stomach
- 01:11:14pains or issues or getting sick so um
- 01:11:16it's been fantastic yeah yeah and it was
- 01:11:19great for you cuz see I mean Manda had
- 01:11:21some elbow pain and some hip pain and I
- 01:11:22remember talking to her on the phone
- 01:11:24like couple days there like literally my
- 01:11:26elbow pain is gone like I can't feel it
- 01:11:29anymore and my hip feels way better and
- 01:11:31I'm like you got to be kidding me no way
- 01:11:32so it was yeah I was blown away when she
- 01:11:34told me that over the phone so cuz she's
- 01:11:36had this elbow pain for I mean years now
- 01:11:38so H pain as well so it's like it's
- 01:11:41literally gone so it was pretty awesome
- 01:11:43yeah I go to school now I got 100% of my
- 01:11:47spelling
- 01:11:48test in an effort to fully explain how
- 01:11:51this therapy is administered I decided
- 01:11:53to document myself receiving it for the
- 01:11:56fifth time as I have been receiving
- 01:11:58fetal stem cell therapy almost annually
- 01:12:01since
- 01:12:022016 since I am generally healthy I
- 01:12:05receive the anti-aging longevity
- 01:12:07protocol which consists of virtually all
- 01:12:10the same fetal stem cell types that
- 01:12:12everyone else receives however properly
- 01:12:15designed fetal stem cell therapy is not
- 01:12:18a one siiz fits all M cell personalizes
- 01:12:22each therapy to each patient's needs age
- 01:12:26medical diagnosis and other factors
- 01:12:28determine the overall design of each
- 01:12:31patient's therapy when I arrive at the
- 01:12:34clinic on the first day Mell conducts a
- 01:12:36comprehensive set of Diagnostics
- 01:12:39starting with a post fasting full blood
- 01:12:41panel urine analysis ultrasound of my
- 01:12:45abdomen including my prostate lymph
- 01:12:47nodes and thyroid as well as an
- 01:12:50EKG after careful review of these
- 01:12:53Diagnostics it is then customary to have
- 01:12:56a meeting with my doctor accompanied by
- 01:12:58an English interpreter after a physical
- 01:13:01examination And discussing any specific
- 01:13:03issues I wish to address my doctor then
- 01:13:06explains my personalized 3-day
- 01:13:09treatments protocol my first round of
- 01:13:12fetal stem cells lay the foundation for
- 01:13:15the remainder of my therapy and are
- 01:13:17injected
- 01:13:19intravenously the endothelial cells
- 01:13:21create new capillaries and small blood
- 01:13:23vessels and improve microcirculation of
- 01:13:27my entire organ system any small blood
- 01:13:29vessels that were not functioning
- 01:13:31properly will be repaired these cells
- 01:13:34also strengthen the inner wall layers of
- 01:13:36my larger blood vessels allowing all
- 01:13:39fetal stem cells I receive during the
- 01:13:41course of therapy to reach far
- 01:13:43throughout my body also included are the
- 01:13:46hepatic cells derived from the liver
- 01:13:49they not only improve my liver function
- 01:13:51but strengthen my overall blood system
- 01:13:54also derived from the liver are the
- 01:13:55hematopoetic cells which stimulate and
- 01:13:58strengthen my bone marrow for better
- 01:14:00function and better blood formation
- 01:14:03these are the very same liver cell types
- 01:14:05that were used shortly after Chernobyl
- 01:14:08and cured demitro of a plastic anemia
- 01:14:10decades earlier the reason fetal liver
- 01:14:13cells are so powerful is because they
- 01:14:16are extracted from the fetal liver at 7
- 01:14:18to 12 weeks and these cells at this time
- 01:14:22of gestation are the foundation the
- 01:14:25precursor to the human body's bone
- 01:14:27marrow itself and thus the foundation of
- 01:14:31the human immune system the premen kimal
- 01:14:34cells are supportive cells that can be
- 01:14:37transformed into any type of cell in my
- 01:14:39body also injected are growth factors
- 01:14:41and other cells that additionally
- 01:14:43support this personalized mixture to
- 01:14:46combine with my own body's chemistry
- 01:14:48allowing these cells to rapidly
- 01:14:51reproduce or proliferate after being
- 01:14:53injected in trena ly these very same
- 01:14:57stem cells are given in personalized
- 01:14:59doses to all patients of all ages
- 01:15:03regardless of medical
- 01:15:05diagnosis later in the day I was
- 01:15:08examined by their opthalmologist who
- 01:15:10concluded that since I am almost 50
- 01:15:13years old I should receive the fetal eye
- 01:15:16cells to help prevent macular
- 01:15:18degeneration a common degenerative eye
- 01:15:21condition that comes with age the fetal
- 01:15:24eye cell were injected into my eye
- 01:15:26sockets not my eyes
- 01:15:30themselves after a long first day at the
- 01:15:33clinic I head back to my hotel for a
- 01:15:35good night's sleep to get ready for day
- 01:15:38two my second day of therapy began with
- 01:15:41another round of the same fetal stem
- 01:15:43cells I received intravenously on day
- 01:15:51one but later that day spread throughout
- 01:15:54s syringes were a wide variety of
- 01:15:57neurological related fetal stem cells
- 01:16:00measured in dosages specifically
- 01:16:02designed for me these neurological stem
- 01:16:06cells were injected
- 01:16:13subcutaneously these exact cells are
- 01:16:15given subcutaneously in higher
- 01:16:18concentrations to people like Lawrence
- 01:16:20with multiple sclerosis but also given
- 01:16:23intrathecally into his SP fluid to
- 01:16:26complement the subcutaneous
- 01:16:28injections Bill who has Parkinson's was
- 01:16:31treated in a similar fashion and also
- 01:16:34received these same cells in higher
- 01:16:36doses for his diagnosis but was also
- 01:16:39injected intrathecally into his spinal
- 01:16:41fluid however for Bill and other
- 01:16:44patients with Parkinson's these doctors
- 01:16:47deliver higher concentrations of the
- 01:16:49cells containing dopamine progenitor
- 01:16:51cells since it is the lack of dopamine
- 01:16:54that caus causes
- 01:16:56Parkinson's for children with autism
- 01:16:58they too get a tailored concentration of
- 01:17:01the neurological related fetal cells
- 01:17:03injected
- 01:17:04subcutaneously but since intrathecal or
- 01:17:07spinal injections aren't the most ideal
- 01:17:10option for a child Mell developed a
- 01:17:12method of complimenting the subcutaneous
- 01:17:15injections of fetal neuronal cells
- 01:17:17through intranasal injections allowing
- 01:17:21for quick delivery into the brain
- 01:17:25after receiving all seven of my
- 01:17:27subcutaneous injections of the
- 01:17:28neurological fetal stem cells the eighth
- 01:17:31syringe was injected into my muscle
- 01:17:34consisting of growth factors and cyto
- 01:17:37kindes targeting my gender to stimulate
- 01:17:40testosterone
- 01:17:44production since we are living in the
- 01:17:46age of covid which can attack our
- 01:17:48respiratory system I also received the
- 01:17:50lung endothelial and hematopoetic stem
- 01:17:53cells administer through a vaporized
- 01:17:56inhalation method directly into my lungs
- 01:17:59this delivery method was specially
- 01:18:01designed by Mell with covid in mind but
- 01:18:05can also help with those suffering from
- 01:18:07lung conditions like empyema or
- 01:18:10COPD this inhalation device was designed
- 01:18:13by Mel's team and printed on a 3D
- 01:18:16printer this device is one of a kind the
- 01:18:20only device like it in the world finally
- 01:18:23on day three my last day of therapy I am
- 01:18:27given another round of subcutaneous
- 01:18:29injections this time 11 of them these
- 01:18:33injections focus on regenerating a wide
- 01:18:36array of other organs in addition to
- 01:18:38supporting the stem cell injections I
- 01:18:40received on day one and day
- 01:18:43two in my personalized mixture I also
- 01:18:47received fetal cardiac cells to protect
- 01:18:50and regenerate my already healthy heart
- 01:18:53but some patients with heart disease
- 01:18:55receive the fetal cardiac cells along
- 01:18:58with a mixture of other related fetal
- 01:18:59stem cells directly into the heart via
- 01:19:03an intracoronary
- 01:19:09procedure this is a chromosome a long
- 01:19:12DNA molecule found inside the nucleus of
- 01:19:14every cell in our body at the end of
- 01:19:16each chromosome are telr each time a
- 01:19:19cell divides the telome become slightly
- 01:19:21shorter over time they eventually become
- 01:19:23so short that that the cell can no
- 01:19:25longer divide and the cell dies
- 01:19:28telomerase is an enzyme that promotes
- 01:19:31the synthesis of telam so when we
- 01:19:34injected you uh the fetal stem cells we
- 01:19:37injected not only the cells with long
- 01:19:40tth we also injected the cells which
- 01:19:43produce the
- 01:19:45Tas which helps to reconstruct your open
- 01:19:49cells when I started receiving fetal
- 01:19:51stem cell therapy I had my telome
- 01:19:54measured and repeated the test every
- 01:19:56year or so they were measured using the
- 01:19:58flow fish method using a flow cytometer
- 01:20:01the most accurate method of measuring
- 01:20:03telome available to modern science in
- 01:20:062017 my median telomere length was 5.38
- 01:20:10kilobases which was low the mean healthy
- 01:20:13length in a healthy adult is 6.4
- 01:20:16kilobases however a year later my median
- 01:20:19Tere length jumped to
- 01:20:217.23 and a year after that jumped to 8.
- 01:20:2471 and then leveled out to 7.18
- 01:20:28kilobases in 2021 over the course of 5
- 01:20:31years my average telomere length
- 01:20:33increased by over
- 01:20:3533% so the teles that you produced you
- 01:20:39injected me with cells that produce
- 01:20:40telares right which then in turn perhaps
- 01:20:44could have also affected my own telr
- 01:20:47yeah okay so it's two things happening
- 01:20:49at the same time I'm being correct me if
- 01:20:51I'm wrong so I'm being injected with you
- 01:20:54know fetal stem cells which have long
- 01:20:56telr yeah um and they're growing and
- 01:20:59multiplying um so there's that that
- 01:21:02might be the reason why I have such a
- 01:21:04high number combined with Tel mores yeah
- 01:21:08producing cells from fetal stem cells
- 01:21:10that are in also influencing my existing
- 01:21:12telr Y and what is even more significant
- 01:21:16is the percentage of long telome overall
- 01:21:19within the total population of my
- 01:21:21chromosomes I went from 0.2 % of my
- 01:21:25total cells having long telr to
- 01:21:298.52% of my total cell population having
- 01:21:32long telr resulting in a near
- 01:21:353,000% increase in my cell population
- 01:21:39with long
- 01:21:40telr so it means like you have like more
- 01:21:46time yeah you think it's going to help
- 01:21:48me yeah it can help you live longer live
- 01:21:52better and this is the prove of the
- 01:21:55anti-aging if this is not the proof of
- 01:21:58the anti-aging I don't know what we can
- 01:22:01do more this is also proof that the
- 01:22:05fetal stem cells injected into my body
- 01:22:08for the last 7 years have remained in my
- 01:22:12body and each new therapy I receive
- 01:22:15builds upon the previous therapy I've
- 01:22:18received bringing us back full circle to
- 01:22:21how this therapy's mechanism of action
- 01:22:24was con conceived of in the first place
- 01:22:27this mechanism of action has been
- 01:22:29ubiquitously confirmed for decades and
- 01:22:32published throughout the peer-reviewed
- 01:22:34medical literature by scientists from
- 01:22:36all over the world inspired first by
- 01:22:40George schor's observations to a century
- 01:22:43later when a small group of innovative
- 01:22:45scientists and doctors administered only
- 01:22:48fetal liver cells to treat radiation
- 01:22:51induced bone marrow failure after
- 01:22:53Chernobyl leaving just two Ukrainian
- 01:22:56scientists who after succeeding in
- 01:22:58curing bone marrow failure later
- 01:23:00assisted the Ukrainian government in
- 01:23:02creating new legislation within its
- 01:23:05Ministry of Health to formally legalize
- 01:23:07and regulate fetal stem cells for human
- 01:23:11use and now more than 30 years of
- 01:23:15research later this technology has been
- 01:23:17handed off to a new larger team of over
- 01:23:20two dozen Ukrainian doctors and
- 01:23:22scientists who have taken the r means to
- 01:23:25expand this technology into utilizing
- 01:23:27virtually all of the important organ
- 01:23:30systems of the human body from the brain
- 01:23:33and central nervous system treating
- 01:23:35Parkinson's multiple sclerosis
- 01:23:37Alzheimer's brain injuries and autism to
- 01:23:40fetal heart stem cells potentially
- 01:23:42eliminating the need for heart surgeries
- 01:23:44and heart medication kidney and adrenal
- 01:23:47cells stem cells from the pancreas which
- 01:23:50contain insulin producing cells to treat
- 01:23:53diabetes as well as the foundation of
- 01:23:56the entire blood bone marrow and
- 01:23:59circulatory system which can treat a
- 01:24:01host of various immunological
- 01:24:03diseases this technology has even cured
- 01:24:07male infertility in men who had tried
- 01:24:10and failed every possible fertility
- 01:24:13treatment known to modern science by
- 01:24:16utilizing the testicular related fetal
- 01:24:18stem
- 01:24:22cells yet somehow
- 01:24:24the rest of the world has either never
- 01:24:26heard of this technology doesn't
- 01:24:29understand this technology or if they
- 01:24:32are quietly researching it outside of
- 01:24:35Ukraine many are forced to work in the
- 01:24:37shadows out of fear for their
- 01:24:41lives I even reached out to some of the
- 01:24:44world's leading stem cell experts like
- 01:24:47world-renowned biologist James Thompson
- 01:24:50featured on the cover of Time Magazine
- 01:24:53as the man who brought you stem cells I
- 01:24:56informed him I was investigating fetal
- 01:24:59stem cell therapy and was looking for an
- 01:25:01expert opinion he replied by stating I'm
- 01:25:04sorry but it is outside of my area of
- 01:25:08expertise I have reached out to
- 01:25:10scientists affiliated with the largest
- 01:25:12stem cell organization in the United
- 01:25:15States the California Institute for
- 01:25:17regenerative medicine or serm who works
- 01:25:20with certain scientists researching
- 01:25:22fetal stem cells in mice like Dr Eileen
- 01:25:25Anderson who was recently granted over
- 01:25:27$5 million to study human neural cells
- 01:25:31for spinal cord injury who said during a
- 01:25:342020 presentation when asked directly
- 01:25:37Greg says what is the source for human
- 01:25:39neural stem cells what sources have you
- 01:25:42studied to determine which works better
- 01:25:43well um we have studied uh induced PL
- 01:25:48potent cells reprogrammed cells es
- 01:25:49derived cells and fetal tissue derived
- 01:25:52neural stem cells out of those fetal
- 01:25:54tissue derived neural stem cells Works
- 01:25:56hands down the best in our hands we have
- 01:25:59yet to have success in our hands in our
- 01:26:02models with an induced Flur potent cell
- 01:26:05stem cell a a reprogrammed somatic cell
- 01:26:08developed neural stem cell product in
- 01:26:09fact what we get really efficiently is
- 01:26:11tumor formation which is very
- 01:26:13disappointing and not something that you
- 01:26:14want to have in the clinic and um the es
- 01:26:17cells that we've worked with embryonic
- 01:26:19stem cells that we've neuralized to be
- 01:26:21neural stem cells I would say 50% of the
- 01:26:24lines we've tested have given some
- 01:26:26evidence of repair but very very small
- 01:26:30in terms of magnitude nothing like what
- 01:26:32we've seen um with the tissue derived
- 01:26:34neural stem cells Dr Anderson like all
- 01:26:37other Western scientists working with
- 01:26:39fetal tissue that I contacted failed to
- 01:26:41respond to any of my repeated attempts
- 01:26:44to invite them to participate in this
- 01:26:47documentary I know some scientists which
- 01:26:50in the past work with the fetal stem
- 01:26:53cells but due to the ethical issues and
- 01:26:57ilness of working this with this uh stem
- 01:27:01cell type they start uh research and
- 01:27:05wanted to find the alternative solution
- 01:27:08or alternative stem cells for
- 01:27:11treatment uh as the fetal stem cells but
- 01:27:15for the last 10 years they didn't find
- 01:27:18anything what can be so effective as the
- 01:27:22fetal stem cells because I really visit
- 01:27:26quite a lot of the conference and on
- 01:27:28each conference I met the person or
- 01:27:32scientist or Professor which has some
- 01:27:36researchers in the past with the fetos
- 01:27:38St cells they do not wanted to talk
- 01:27:41about that on the publicy but all of
- 01:27:43them told me that I'm lucky one because
- 01:27:46I have opportunity to work with
- 01:27:52them it is is estimated that of the 8
- 01:27:55billion people alive on Earth today only
- 01:27:59around 25,000 people in human history
- 01:28:02have received fetal stem cell therapy
- 01:28:05the reason you may have never heard of
- 01:28:07this technology is because in all of
- 01:28:10human history only
- 01:28:140.003% of the human race has ever
- 01:28:18received
- 01:28:19it the countries in blue are where the
- 01:28:22routine application of fetal stem cell
- 01:28:24therapy is prohibited which includes
- 01:28:27Mexico as today's Mexican law clearly
- 01:28:30states chapter 3 transplant article 330
- 01:28:34it is forbidden the use for any purpose
- 01:28:37of embryonic or fetal tissues resulting
- 01:28:40from abortions which leaves this one
- 01:28:43country in Europe being the only place
- 01:28:46on planet Earth where a human being can
- 01:28:49legally obtain fetal stem cell
- 01:28:52therapy you

- 01:29:11Ukraine when Russia began their invasion
- 01:29:13of Ukraine on February 24th 2022 with
- 01:29:17the intention of erasing Ukraine's
- 01:29:20existence imagine how this made Sophia
- 01:29:23feel knowing that this therapy is the
- 01:29:26only thing keeping her alive imagine how
- 01:29:29it made these people feel knowing that
- 01:29:31the only therapy allowing them to live
- 01:29:33normal lives is under
- 01:29:36threat if Ukraine's government falls
- 01:29:39into Russian
- 01:29:40rule fetal stem cell therapy is gone
- 01:29:59but no different than how the brave
- 01:30:01Innovative people of Ukraine have
- 01:30:03managed to prevent Russia from
- 01:30:04destroying
- 01:30:05[Music]
- 01:30:08them Mel still stands its scientists are
- 01:30:12still hard at work and people who need
- 01:30:14this therapy are still traveling to
- 01:30:16Ukraine to receive it regardless of the
- 01:30:19danger
- 01:30:33[Music]
- 01:30:38on September 16th 2022 my wife and I
- 01:30:41packed our bags and camera equipment and
- 01:30:43flew from Los Angeles to Warsaw Poland
- 01:30:46due to Russia's Invasion flying into
- 01:30:48Ukraine was not an option so we headed
- 01:30:51to warsaw's International train station
- 01:30:53to board a train to ke Ukraine where we
- 01:30:57met up with five other Americans
- 01:31:00Julie
- 01:31:03Diana
- 01:31:07Zella Sophia and
- 01:31:11Adonis we all joked about how most of
- 01:31:13our friends and family back home were
- 01:31:15confused as to why we were all heading
- 01:31:17to Ukraine during a war having to remind
- 01:31:20them that Ukraine is the only place on
- 01:31:22Earth where we can receive fetal stem
- 01:31:24cell therapy and for Sophia and Adonis
- 01:31:28their very lives depend on
- 01:31:31it we noticed that most everyone on our
- 01:31:34train from Warsaw to keev were women and
- 01:31:37children since the train ride is 17
- 01:31:40hours we got the private Sleeper Car
- 01:31:43which is essentially a Manhattan studio
- 01:31:46apartment that
- 01:31:48travels after a bit of a night's sleep I
- 01:31:50went in to check on Diana and Sophia
- 01:31:55oh hello come on oh hello I mean how was
- 01:31:58this trip different than the previous
- 01:32:00ones it's a lot longer not going to ever
- 01:32:02complain about the other trip again so
- 01:32:05how long have we been on this train so
- 01:32:06far like 16 hours I think yeah it's been
- 01:32:10a long uh 16 hours so
- 01:32:14far and um but you know I appreciate the
- 01:32:17fact that we can even come to be totally
- 01:32:19honest so it's like this balance of this
- 01:32:21is really long and it's really hard and
- 01:32:24yet this appreciation of the fact that
- 01:32:26we're even able to come is I'm beyond
- 01:32:28grateful because at one point I wasn't
- 01:32:30sure earlier this year we were going to
- 01:32:33be able to do this or not so I you know
- 01:32:36hard to complain about what I'm grateful
- 01:32:38for at the same time is is brutally long
- 01:32:42um and I I look forward to when we can
- 01:32:46come back in peacefully through our
- 01:32:49normal means of you know flying into Kev
- 01:32:52um but yeah I'm I'm actually really
- 01:32:54grateful to be here I so much I'm
- 01:32:56enjoying this Countryside though it's
- 01:32:58absolutely it is breathtaking to me I
- 01:33:01love this especially when the sun was
- 01:33:02setting and the trees were like golden
- 01:33:05so beautiful it was a beautiful sense of
- 01:33:07Les it really was and honestly the
- 01:33:09appreciation of just honest just my
- 01:33:12heart felt like being here and and just
- 01:33:16what these people have gone through this
- 01:33:18last year I mean I was sick to my
- 01:33:21stomach when this whole thing broke out
- 01:33:23obviously because I'm
- 01:33:24connected and just to be here is like
- 01:33:28this almost I don't know how how you
- 01:33:30describe it but it's almost like such a
- 01:33:32respect for what they've had to go
- 01:33:34through and the fact that we even get to
- 01:33:36come here and that
- 01:33:38they're fighting for their own lives and
- 01:33:41that you know we're also fighting for
- 01:33:43our lives in some ways but um just this
- 01:33:47appreciation that I have is even renewed
- 01:33:50I already loved it before but this is a
- 01:33:52whole another level so much love and
- 01:33:54respect for these people
- 01:33:57100%
- 01:34:00yeah hey there I was hoping this was the
- 01:34:02right room yes that's like a good guess
- 01:34:05prior to this journey I had never met
- 01:34:08Adonis and zenzel in person I want to
- 01:34:10ask you first Adonis what do you feel
- 01:34:12about all of this you've experienced
- 01:34:14this
- 01:34:17journey it it's it's cool yeah you've
- 01:34:20enjoyed it yeah yeah you ever been on a
- 01:34:23train ride like this before no no we
- 01:34:25were here last November and we were able
- 01:34:27to just fly in to the airport in Kev and
- 01:34:31get picked up and this trip is totally
- 01:34:35different I didn't think we would ever
- 01:34:36be able to come back obviously I'm just
- 01:34:39glad that we were able to join you guys
- 01:34:40on this trip yeah I I I really didn't
- 01:34:43think we would go back ever so I'm glad
- 01:34:46we all got to meet up I'm really
- 01:34:48enjoying the company and it's it's been
- 01:34:51nice honestly yeah
- 01:34:55Sophia and Adonis are the only two
- 01:34:57children I've met who were treated with
- 01:34:59fetal stem cells for muscular distrophy
- 01:35:01this will be adonis's second time
- 01:35:04receiving therapy after he received the
- 01:35:07treatment he told me that he was
- 01:35:09sleeping better and he he wasn't waking
- 01:35:12up in the middle of the night for
- 01:35:14air so now he's sleeping all the night
- 01:35:17long yes yes okay and no breathing
- 01:35:20problem no breathing problems yeah no
- 01:35:22mhm okay good don't maybe something else
- 01:35:26you noticed yes and um he's able to walk
- 01:35:29longer
- 01:35:31distances something else maybe yes and
- 01:35:34then he also his hand strength improved
- 01:35:38mhm and he's able to lift heavier
- 01:35:42weights now is there something you would
- 01:35:45like to
- 01:35:46add um no just we've seen major
- 01:35:51improvements so yeah that's
- 01:35:55this will be Sophia's 10th Annual fetal
- 01:35:58stem cell treatment and for her mother
- 01:36:00Diana her fourth so we'd like to know
- 01:36:03what is uh the biggest changes since the
- 01:36:05previous treatment you've been here um
- 01:36:08walking has been a lot easier like I've
- 01:36:10been able to walk longer
- 01:36:12distances like four four miles I don't
- 01:36:15yeah four miles like four miles that's
- 01:36:18okay good any other changes except this
- 01:36:21one um not that I can think she's gained
- 01:36:26weight
- 01:36:29good sopia and Adonis receive both
- 01:36:32intravenous and subcutaneous injections
- 01:36:35of a wide array of fetal stem cells but
- 01:36:38due to the nature of muscular distrophy
- 01:36:40and how it uniformly causes atrophy in
- 01:36:43all muscles of the body these doctors
- 01:36:46also inject certain fetal stem cells
- 01:36:48into their arms and legs to directly
- 01:36:51Target those muscles
- 01:36:54we checked in on Julie who was on the
- 01:36:56same train with us and has been
- 01:36:58receiving fetal stem cell therapy to
- 01:37:00help in her recovery from Lyme disease
- 01:37:02Julie's chronic lyme disease had been
- 01:37:04systematically causing damage to her
- 01:37:07joints organs Brain and Spine it feels
- 01:37:10so good to be back I'm so happy and
- 01:37:13grateful that we were able to come um
- 01:37:16especially with everything going on and
- 01:37:19that they've been through a lot but
- 01:37:20they're very strong
- 01:37:22people also joining us at Mel was
- 01:37:25another American named Lee but Lee took
- 01:37:28a train from krackow instead of
- 01:37:30Warsaw this is my fourth time at Mel um
- 01:37:34this time was different though because
- 01:37:35there's a war going on the number one
- 01:37:38prescription in America's thyroid
- 01:37:39medication and guess what you don't need
- 01:37:40to take if you get fetal stem cells you
- 01:37:43don't need to take your thyroid
- 01:37:44medication at least I don't I don't need
- 01:37:46to take a million different medications
- 01:37:48um that I would normally have needed to
- 01:37:50take so finally the ninth American our
- 01:37:53group was Dean who booked super last
- 01:37:56minute and had to take a bus from Warsaw
- 01:37:58to keev since all trains were sold out
- 01:38:01this was my first time meeting Dean in
- 01:38:02person speaking to the Ukrainian people
- 01:38:05that run the clinic before I got here I
- 01:38:08felt connected with them because they're
- 01:38:10so sweet and just real you know what I
- 01:38:13mean and and then getting here and and
- 01:38:17realizing like what Russia is doing to
- 01:38:19these people and dehumanizing them and
- 01:38:21writing them out of their textbooks in
- 01:38:23Russia they writing Ukraine out of
- 01:38:25textbooks it's so disgusting that these
- 01:38:28are people this is a civilization here
- 01:38:30this is a very civilized society that
- 01:38:33people are really such special people
- 01:38:37they have a great culture great food
- 01:38:39great treatment in this amazing Center
- 01:38:42like that you can't get anywhere else in
- 01:38:44the world they would never do this
- 01:38:46treatment in the United
- 01:38:47States so I feel privileged to have
- 01:38:50gotten here and it was worth the Trek
- 01:38:52even with the danger element I'm still
- 01:38:54happy that I made it and I would do it
- 01:38:56again and I might even stay a few a few
- 01:38:58extra days to enjoy the
- 01:39:01city and since we spent more than 30
- 01:39:04hours traveling from Los Angeles to
- 01:39:06Ukraine to document this part of the
- 01:39:08story my wife and I also got the
- 01:39:12therapy um I'm G to ask you a personal
- 01:39:15question about this subject how does it
- 01:39:18make you feel working in the world of
- 01:39:21stem cells knowing that such a large
- 01:39:24amount of clinics are offering only one
- 01:39:27stem cell type usually from the fat or
- 01:39:29the bone marrow and they're cultivating
- 01:39:32them and then they're giving them to the
- 01:39:34patient and that patient is hoping to
- 01:39:37have a huge health benefit how does that
- 01:39:39make you feel as someone in this
- 01:39:41profession H you know they didn't have
- 01:39:44any other ways to do they have very uh
- 01:39:49restrict rules of using of the stem
- 01:39:52cells
- 01:39:53that's why they can use only that type
- 01:39:56of the stem cells and they need to
- 01:39:58believe that that types of the stem
- 01:40:00cells will help but um when we have
- 01:40:03opportunity to use the fetal stem cells
- 01:40:05to use uncultivated stem cells of course
- 01:40:08it's much better and it's really unique
- 01:40:12because only in Ukraine we
- 01:40:16can free you use and also research the
- 01:40:21fetal stem cells and I'm I'm sure that
- 01:40:24in in the nearest Future uh almost all
- 01:40:27researchers will agree that the fal stem
- 01:40:30cells is the most unique s source of the
- 01:40:34different stem cell types and maybe even
- 01:40:38the only one source of them you know a
- 01:40:41lot of patient ask us uh why do you do
- 01:40:44not don't work in America or uh why you
- 01:40:48don't work in some countries of Europe
- 01:40:51um why you just work on only in Ukraine
- 01:40:55um you know the the most simplest answer
- 01:40:58is that only in
- 01:41:01Ukraine we really can use and
- 01:41:05research uh the fetal stem cells uh in
- 01:41:10all other countries it's illegal now the
- 01:41:13history of that we have the Chernobyl
- 01:41:17and so we start uh trying to help the
- 01:41:21people and uh this was one of the
- 01:41:24researchers uh to use uh fetal stem cell
- 01:41:29from the liver fetal Li uh tissue uh to
- 01:41:33help the people with the radioactive
- 01:41:37irradiation and that's why it becomes
- 01:41:41legal to to research fetal stem cells
- 01:41:44and thanks God they did not closed
- 01:41:48everything in like few years and it's
- 01:41:52developed all the time time and when we
- 01:41:54are talking about the compare comparing
- 01:41:56other researchers of the people in the
- 01:41:58world and researches which are done in
- 01:42:01Ukraine and in C is not the comparable
- 01:42:05so we know about the fetal stem cells
- 01:42:09more than anybody else in the world we
- 01:42:12have used fetal stem cells for clinical
- 01:42:16application more than anybody in the
- 01:42:18world so it's really for me it's really
- 01:42:22cool that I work here and I have
- 01:42:24opportunity to work with the um most
- 01:42:28effective stem
- 01:42:30cells and they are not comparable to any
- 01:42:33other types of the stem
- 01:42:40[Music]
- 01:42:45cells this is Dr Vadim the
- 01:42:48opthalmologist who performed my eye
- 01:42:50injections this is what Russia did to
- 01:42:52his home in
- 01:42:55herine but Dr badim is Alive and Well in
- 01:42:59fact the whole team is still alive and
- 01:43:03[Music]
- 01:43:14well is this uh emotional for you yeah
- 01:43:17because you know like all this arms they
- 01:43:21actually came to Ukraine to kill us
- 01:43:24Ukrainian and to to kill Ukraine in
- 01:43:28general as a country they officially
- 01:43:30announced that uh on the August 24th
- 01:43:33when we have the Independence Day in
- 01:43:35Ukraine they will make the parade using
- 01:43:38their arms on the kattic which is the
- 01:43:41main street so that's like the symbolic
- 01:43:44answer to them that here is your parade
- 01:43:46with all your arms just destroyed arms
- 01:43:57this is Dr Maria who performed my
- 01:43:59ultrasound
- 01:44:19[Music]
- 01:44:25but the war give us the most powerful
- 01:44:28thing understanding that we are as
- 01:44:31United and strong as we never been
- 01:44:33before
- 01:44:43[Music]
- 01:44:50[Music]
