SPEAKER 17 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 08 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes. With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 16 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did! Get a job, Turk! You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 11 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know, you can’t explain. But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush, presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 03 :
Welcome back, listeners, to Hour 2. You’re listening to Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John Rush. By the way, John will be back tomorrow. If you want to be part of the program, 303-477-5600. You can go to RushToReason.com as well. Please don’t try and write this down while you’re driving home. Don’t crash your car. We have a special guest, Donald Hudspeth, who was on for the first hour with me. He is an expert in stem cells in the lab and the process of stem cells and why is it so important to do this the right way and find a company that uses current good manufacturing processes that the FDA has approved. And that’s Cord for Life there in Orlando. That’s where I get my stem cells from. And when I do order stem cells, I always ask for COVID vaccine free from the birth mother. So that’s one less thing that you have to worry about. I always ask for that. And Donald and I were talking in the first hour of public versus private. What does that mean? Public is the mom just donates it to whoever needs it. Private is she wants to keep that tissue or the blood products for her child later on, maybe 10, 20, 30 years down the road, thinking that maybe that her child might need that for some reason. And so that leads into the next thing. Donald, thank you for holding over. There’s two issues that I really want to get to before we go into the next hour stuff. The first thing that I want to know is what about relatives? So let’s say grandma has a knee that’s going bad. Her granddaughter is going to have a child or mom. has a bad shoulder because she played tennis for so long. Her daughter’s about to have a child or her son’s wife is going to have a child. What about relatives? How does that play into this?
SPEAKER 15 :
So when a family chooses to privately bank their baby’s cord blood stem cells with us, they are the owners of that product. We of course provide them with information, with data, cell counts, viability counts, things like that that we are able to test through the processing of that so that they know exactly what they have. But they’re the owners and they’re the ones that decide how and when and where and to whom some or all of their stem cells are distributed. Of course we do require that it’s distributed to a licensed physician. clinician of some sort. But if they want to use that for any of their family members, as long as the physician, he or she, is willing to provide that service under their practice of medicine, their care of medicine, then we get the three parties, the physician, the parents, and the Court for Life staff, get them together to do the proper transfer, go through all the paperwork and documentation. So the mom will release some or all of those cells, depending on what the clinician decides is appropriate for the treatment that they’re trying to do. And we ship that to the clinician’s location. The recipient will then come in on the timeline that’s been generated for that treatment and get their therapy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, that’s exactly right. And again, since we’re into a new hour, those who are listening from the FDA, by the way, when I use these cells for regenerative medicine, this is an off-label indication, but we use medications and cells off-label. So there’s my FDA disclosure. So that’s great for the relatives, for mom, for grandma, who maybe have a bad knee, bad shoulder, things like that. What about siblings?
SPEAKER 15 :
So siblings, when you’re talking about, you know, from the normal, that’s probably not the best word, but the common same mother, same father, by definition, if you kind of remember back to your genetics that you might have taken back in biology in high school or certainly in college, they’re drawing, each of these siblings are drawing their genes from the same two parents. And so therefore… they’re going to share a lot of those same genes, a lot of those same cell markers, which is what we’re really concerned about here. So typically speaking, you’re going to have a certain, at least medium, if not higher level degree of matching among siblings than you will even from a child to their parents or certainly to their grandparents. So every step closer to being the same generation, if you will, you’re going to have a little bit higher degree of intrinsic matching. You could certainly have exactly perfect match with your grandparent, just from the sake of the genetic lottery, if you will, how things shake out, but But just as a starting point, the closer you get to the same generation, you’re going to have a much higher starting point of your degree of matching.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and still we talked about I can use the cells from an unknown baby. I put those in Kat, who was a caller at the tail end of last hour who has multiple sclerosis. I’m glad you got to hear her story because this is what you guys are doing. You’re changing lives today. And it’s such a cool thing to do. I love what I do. And but I wanted you to hear the end product of why you guys struggle, why you spent so much money to get that lab to be. to that level that the FDA has approved. But here’s another story for you is I have a gentleman who comes into my clinic. He is a professional motocross racer. His wife is number three, I believe, in the state of Colorado. His son, who is now a tween, he is number one in the world in his age category. He races down. He practices down in Georgia. His dad brought him in because mom had their little sister. He has a little brother who’s also incredible on a motocross. Mom had a daughter. They saved the umbilical cord. The oldest son, he tore his ACL. And then, you know, in the world of medicine, the orthopedic surgeons are like, okay, you’re a tween. We are not going to give you a cadaver ACL. Sorry, kid, not a lot that we can do. I mean, this kid’s number one on a motorcycle. So dad’s like, hey, you’ve given me stem cells in the past. What about this? We’ve banked his little sister’s umbilical cord. What do you think? You shipped me a 5cc vial. I put a cc into their son’s knee. I gave mom a couple of ccs, gave dad because he snapped his sternum, the breastbone, in half during a race and he finished the race. Within a month and a half, his sternum was totally repaired. Son comes back. Orthopedic surgeon does a repeat MRI, and that ACL is 100% intact. three people in the family got healed from their little baby.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s wonderful.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. So what about other companies? Because as you alluded to in the first hour, there are other companies that will advertise, hey, why don’t you bank on the private side your baby’s umbilical cord with us? Now, I have to admit, I have tried on behalf of patients to get these stem cells from these other companies, and it’s not just no, it’s hell no. So, is there a way that we can help these parents out there saying, I’ve got these cells sitting here that I’m paying for. They’re mine. Can I use them for myself, for my loved one? What say you?
SPEAKER 15 :
We certainly have transferred cells from other private banks in to be stored with us for that very purpose because they’re having difficulty getting access to those cells. Again, we feel that these cells Cells that they have banked are the property of the mom in specific until the baby, his or herself, turns 18 or 21, depending on the state. So we feel that it’s their property, it’s their decision. As long as they meet certain minimum criteria, like I said, they have to have a licensed physician involved. So we’re not going to just. ship them to the family’s home address for them to do something.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right.
SPEAKER 15 :
Thank you. If they meet that minimum criteria, which, again, stems back to good laboratory practices, good manufacturing practices, and just kind of good common sense practices, if you will, we will provide those cells to the clinician of choice for that treatment that the clinician deems medically necessary and under their practice of medicine for that patient’s family. So we have transferred units over for that very reason.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, fantastic. So we’re going to take one more break, and then I’m going to have one last question before I let you go. Why umbilical cord stem cells and not bone marrow aspirate? So I’ll ask that question again when we come back from this break. You’re listening to Dr. Scott filling in for John Rush, 560-KLZ.

SPEAKER 09 :
putting reason into your afternoon drive. This is John Rush.
SPEAKER 03 :
Welcome back, listeners. This is actually Dr. Scott Faulkner filling in for John, 560 KLZ, Rush to Reason, Health and Wellness Wednesday, and John will be back tomorrow. I currently have Donald Hudspeth from Cord for Life on the line. We’ve been talking for the last hour and almost hour and a half on umbilical cord stem cells, why you want a company that follows the FDA’s current good manufacturing practices, for various reasons and you can go back and listen to that whole conversation but the last question I had for Donald because now he’s in Orlando and when I let him go he’s going to be in snarled traffic and he’s going to hate me but I really appreciate it you holding over but my last question for you Donald is why umbilical cord stem cells and not bone marrow aspirate
SPEAKER 15 :
So there’s several different reasons for that. The first and the easiest, the low-hanging fruit, if you will, is that the collection of cord blood, while there’s one specific time that it can be done, it is very simple and it is virtually 100% painless to either the donor mom or the baby. It happens after the baby has been normally delivered. The cord has been clamped and cut and typically now the baby and the cord are on separate sides of the room. So there’s absolutely no pain whatsoever to anyone involved in the cord blood collection versus if you’re going to do certainly a bone marrow collection, but typically most bone marrow is actually now done through peripheral blood collections. With a true bone marrow collection, you’re going to have a very large bore needle shoved and ground into your pelvic region. And it’s very painful. Typically, we’ll use some sort of topical anesthetic, but that’s just really good for the skin. I’ve witnessed this. It is something that you don’t want to see. Again, very, very painful. As I said, most of the time now, though, they’re going to do what’s called a peripheral or an apheresis blood collection from an adult. So typically they will give you a drug, something like Neupogen, that will force the blast and stem cells out of your bone marrow into your peripheral blood. Typically in the peripheral blood, there’s a very small percentage, less than 1% of these cells floating around until they’re needed. So in order to be effective, they will give you some sort of drug to push these out into your peripheral system. And then they’re going to do a venipuncture phlebotomy in both of your arms. And so they’re going to collect blood out of one side it’s going to go through a special machine called an apheresis machine it’s going to get centrifuged they’re going to be able through that centrifugation process with some special bags and whatnot they’re going to be able to collect the stem cells and then give you back most of the red cells and most of the plasma so they’re able to do that in a very large total volume but they’re not depleting the patient of their own blood so you know if you go and give blood typically you’ll give one one unit one pint of blood but are able to take out multiple pints of blood but give most of that back to you to collect those cells. So it’s a much easier and painless collection when you compare the two. But then the next part of the answer is, well, what about the cells themselves? So obviously when you collect cells from a literally minutes old baby, these cells themselves are very young and immature and they don’t have the aging baggage that our cells do. So if I were to have peripheral blood collected on me today, I’m a 54-year-old man, my cells are going to look like a 54-year-old male cells. They’re going to have that aging baggage that all of our cells gain as they get older and older. So the immaturity of these cells allow them to be a little more effective in how they’re treating and how they’re responding when they’re used into a recipient. And then the last way, and this is very important we talked about a little bit earlier in a larger setting such as transplantation these cells because they are immature they have a much different way and a much different capacity of reacting to the recipient so an analogy that i i’ve used before is that these newborn stem cells while they they have all of the armor and weaponry of a ninja they don’t know how to use it yet. They might not be able to hold up the sword. They might not be quite as quick. They might not be able to realize that someone’s coming from the backside or whatever. Whereas the mature cell, they’ve gone through all that training. They know their jujitsu. They know all the tools that they have. And so that makes them less likely to cause graft versus host disease when you’re comparing them to an adult size cell. So you’ve got ease of collection, absolutely pain-free when you’re looking at cord blood versus adult stem cells. Then you have a more effective younger immature cell that’s going to give you a better effect, but then also it’s going to give you less of the negative effect that you could see in some settings. So all those combined together really show that cord blood can be in many, many ways a better alternative than adult, whether it’s directly from the bone marrow or from autologous collection, those adult stem cells that the aging population may have. And quite honestly, there’s really a fourth to consider as well. As we do get older, you know, the reason that we need stem cells could be something that would prevent our own cells to be used. So, for example, if I needed to have a stem cell therapy but my stem cells were damaged and that’s what I’m getting that therapy for, we couldn’t use my own stem cells for that. So I would have to look at some sort of donor, again, whether that’s going to be one of my daughters who I’ve banked or whether it’s going to be a donor, be it a child or another adult. But that’s to be considered as well. What are we trying to treat and how are, as that recipient’s stem cells, going to play into the ability to treat that condition?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. I mean, that’s exactly what I tell patients is the only absolute contraindication is if you’ve had a solid organ transplant, so a lung transplant, heart, kidney. Otherwise, pretty much everybody is a candidate for these umbilical cord stem cells. That is correct. Okay. I lied. I’m going to ask you one more question. Sorry, Donald. Why would somebody not want to go to Europe, to Costa Rica, to Panama, to Tijuana to get these stem cells?
SPEAKER 15 :
So again, we’ve got a multifaceted answer here. I think first and foremost, you’ve got to look at the additional cost. So for someone who’s coming to see you there at Castle Rock, even the one patient you mentioned that might be coming from Wyoming, you’re talking about a couple hours drive, a tank of gas, you know, $100 to get there. Whereas if I have to fly to Costa Rica, you know, you’re talking about plane tickets. You’re talking about, you know, shuttles to and from the airports, parking at the airport. You’re talking about, you know, hotel nights or spa nights, whatever the trip may involve. And then the product itself is probably going to be more expensive than domestically. But more importantly, the oversight… of the FDA is not going to be there for these products that are outside the US. Certainly there are some areas that do have some similar oversights. Europe has the EU and they have things in place to protect these types of cells. But when you’re looking in Latin and South America, some of these island nations, they say they might defer to the US FDA as far as what you should do, but they don’t have the ability, they don’t have the infrastructure to enforce that. And so you really don’t know what these cells that you’re getting are. In some cases, they may not even be human, unfortunately. So there’s definitely, you know, the unknown and the unsure the uncertainty of what that product is that you’ve traveled all this way and paid all of that money to get there. And then you’re getting a product that’s quite honestly, almost assuredly going to be inferior to a U.S. based product that’s gone through the scrutiny of accreditation, FDA, certainly if they have an investigational new drug application, things of that nature. All of those things go back to point to the quality and the high efficacy of that product that you’re getting.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, you’re exactly right. And I can attest to that because I, as you know, I have a clinic in Manila, Philippines, and I’ve watched other providers give patients sheep stem cells, rabbit stem cells. You have no idea. In fact, one gentleman when I was there probably six months ago died from his stem cell procedure. And I can guarantee you that they gave him sheep stem cells and there was red blood cells there. And it’s exactly what you said. When you have that blood that’s incompatible, it can be a violent reaction up to and including death. Absolutely. So don’t go out of the country. It is not illegal. It’s just the FDA has not approved this. So we say it’s an off-label use. But I, as a physician, tell my patients this is what we’re doing. It’s an off-label use, but it is not illegal. So thank you for your time, Donald. Tell people how they can get a hold of you if they have more questions.

When it comes to your estate, you really don’t want to leave things up to luck. Michael Bailey doesn’t rely on chance. He relies on solid, thorough planning and getting to know you as you develop your plan together. That’s because a good estate plan isn’t about luck. It’s about wisdom, preparation, and making sure your family is protected no matter what. Think about it. When you pass on, will you leave your family to guess what to do with your possessions, investments, and other assets? Or would you want to make those instructions very clear so your family can know your final wishes in detail? That’s what an estate plan does. It’s not about luck. It’s about making sure what you want to happen is followed, your assets are protected, and your family isn’t left searching for answers. Rely on solid planning from Michael Bailey, not good luck charms. Find the mobile estate planner Michael Bailey on the klzradio.com advertisers page to make sure your last wishes are followed.
SPEAKER 09 :
Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, you’re listening to Dr. Scott filling in for John Rush on this Health and Wellness Wednesday. And just fortuitously, I have a good friend, listener to John Rush, who actually has a program on 560 KLZ, right? Haystack Help Radio. We’re on noon to one. Noon to one. And we were talking over the break about stem cells and his story. So have at it.
SPEAKER 04 :
You know what? I did this several years ago back in 2017. Mm-hmm. And I had seen different things about, you know, stem cell, but just a little bit leery of how it would work. And I thought, you know what? You can always do surgery. Right. So why not try this? And it’s not inexpensive to do, but I was like, still, hey, man, if I can put off a surgery forever or for 10 years, why not do that?
SPEAKER 03 :
Or get off narcotics or something. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER 04 :
And so I went and did it, and I’m telling you what. I mean, for me, and everybody’s different with stem cell, and I interviewed a lot of people on my show, probably 200 people over three years that had stem cell. And I can tell you, without fail, every person I talk to, in their own words, where 80% are better, right? Every patient I talked to, and I’m talking about from NFL athletes to just normal people like us. And it was the greatest thing they ever did. Yeah. And, and I did mess up the knee several years later, ended up with a replacement. And as I was telling you, I wish I would have even put that off because that’s not an easy surgery. And there’s no guarantees. That was my next phrase. There’s no guarantees with surgery. So I’m just a big believer in this, and I would tell everyone, hey. And also be very careful who you do it with. Not all clinics, doctors are created equal in that field, in that arena. So you get somebody like yourself that knows what they’re doing, has a great, good track history with it, 100% recommend it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And the take home is do it earlier, sooner rather than later, because you’re asking me almost like Eric who called in earlier where his toe is now bone on bone. There is still cartilage around the outside. Now it’s a heavy lift to get that cartilage to fill in. Why? Because you’re walking on that joint, right? You’ve got to push off on your toe every step you take. So it’s a heavier lift. But if there’s still some cartilage there, then what we’re doing is we’re thickening it up, not trying to fill in a gap. So when people have mild or moderate shoulder problems, hip problems, knee problems, that’s easy. I love seeing those folks. Or you heard Kat’s story who has multiple sclerosis. Changed her life, gave her her life back. So I love doing what I’m doing, and you’re a living testimony to it.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, I’m telling you, I 100% believe in it. And what’s best for people, to bring you MRI if they have it?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, because one of the things that I look for, or even a plain film, is okay. Because if you have a bone spur, right, a chunk of bone in your knee or in your shoulder, right, then I’m going to be brutally honest with you and say, you know what, I can make you feel good, but I’m not going to make you feel great because you’ve got a mechanical chunk of bone that is going to be there unless a surgeon with a scalpel goes in and scrapes that. And so people are, thank you for being brutally honest. I have a listener up in Wyoming. He drove all the way down to see me. And his x-ray, I sent him over to get an x-ray because he didn’t know. And sure enough, he had a bone spur. And, you know, I’m not one of those guys that, oh, geez, I’m just going to take your money and I know I’ll help you a little bit, but not totally. And I was brutally honest with him. It’s like, you’ve got a chunk of bone. So I can give you stem cells, but with this chunk – you’ll always have issues. So just go to the surgeon and be done with it. But if there’s not a chunk of bone there, there’s very few things that I can’t help with stem cells. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely worth it.
SPEAKER 04 :
So again, just highly recommend it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep. And if you don’t have a doc who’s willing to, that’s one of the things I was going to talk about. In fact, John had a listener who texted him. His doc just berated him, had Douglas County Sheriff at his door when he got home because he’d made an offhanded comment. This doctor took it seriously. There’s a lot of providers out there that are just not mentally stable, right? Let’s just say that. And they’re like, well, I’m not going to do an x-ray or you shouldn’t be doing stem cells. Well, you should be asking that doctor, well, how much training do you actually have in stem cells? Because if they’re like me, I had about 30 seconds my very first semester as a medical student. So we’re talking 33 years ago. I had about 30 seconds during embryology class, right? The first semester, first time medical student, 30 seconds on stem cells and we blow past it. So this doctor… He doesn’t want to appear ignorant. So what do we do? We puff out our chest, like, because we’re the experts, right? Believe me, I’m the doctor. And we tell you, oh, you don’t want to touch that, or that’s hocus pocus, or it’s voodoo medicine, or you’re going to get HIV, or it’s not going to work. It’s like, but you have no training in this. Right. So how do you know?
SPEAKER 04 :
A surgeon— He’s a surgeon. And they get paid to cut. Okay. That’s their job, right? And that’s what I appreciate, you know, about, you know, of course, before I knew you or I would have come to you. But that’s what I appreciate, you know, about like listening to you on the show when I heard you is because I know you’re going to be honest with people. and tell them because it doesn’t do you any good or them any good to go any other way.
SPEAKER 03 :
I have my reputation, and if I give people bad advice, then they’re going to tell their friends, and then pretty soon my name is nothing. And the Bible says it’s better to have a good name than wealth and riches. I would rather have that good name of I did the right thing for folks. I look at my wife, I look at my kids and say, you know what, you can be proud of your husband, your dad, because I did the right thing. I didn’t cut corners. I didn’t just take the buck from that patient. Now, there’s a lot of doctors or practitioners that will do that. Oh, sure. But I just refuse to be one of those folks. Right, right.
SPEAKER 04 :
And, you know, just through my testimonials that I did with patients, you know, there were some that were – and this was probably the smaller portion where in 30 days they felt like a new person. Some people it took, you know, 60 days, 90 days. There were some that took six months. Yeah. But, man, I’m telling you, I didn’t have one person in their words – because I said, look, I’m not looking for, you know – I just want your story. What you went through before – And now how you’re feeling. And, man, it was unbelievable. And I tell people, even to come in for a consult, hey, what do you have to lose? Yeah, my consult’s free. Pain. All right, that’s what you got to lose. So, I mean, hey, why not just give it a try? And because, again, if your doctors are discouraging from this, to me, again, that’s a red flag. Right. Because they don’t really know. All right? And so… you know i would just say give it a shot hey come in get a consult see where that road leads because i’m telling you that procedure is way better than what i went through yes you replacement you’re exactly right and it’s not just joints it’s not just knees ankles hips shoulders it’s the other things like cat has ms my very first patient was my uncle who had lugare disease
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s how I discovered stem cells and got into it. Because in classic allopathic medicine, we’re not taught about this. Why? Because Pfizer doesn’t make any money off of it. And in fact, they look at us saying, well, you’re going to be taking money away from us because now our patients aren’t going to be hooked on all these drugs, right? And these chemicals that we inject or the surgeons will inject in you. So they have pressured the FDA to keep stem cells kind of on the low down. So that’s why a lot of our patients are going to Costa Rica and Panama. I think it was when Mel Gibson talked on Joe Rogan about his dad’s experience, how he took him out of the Scottsdale Hospital, took him to Panama, Dr. Reardon gave him stem cells and made him a new man at like 92 years of age, that people started to kind of wake up that, hey, maybe there’s something to this. Right. But you don’t have to go to Panama because one of the things that Dr. Reardon does is what they call expanding the cell line. So he’ll take a few stem cells, put it in a Petri dish, force it to grow faster than what God designed it to. Well, when you do that, you can actually induce a malignant transformation. I can give you cancer. So the FDA had a hard and fast rule in the past that you cannot use expanded cells in the United States. About a year ago, they relaxed that. I don’t know who got to them. But if I were to use those expanded cells, I have to tell you, by the way, I can give you a malignancy. Now, who in their right mind would want to do that? I didn’t ask or confirm this with Donald. I know the answer is that when you use umbilical cord-derived stem cells that have not been expanded, there has never to this date been a case of malignant transformation ever. And as he was saying, it’s totally painless, right, because the baby’s born. They just take the umbilical cord and strip it of the stem cells. You didn’t feel a thing. So you went through a painful procedure. They knocked you out for that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Well, in this case, I just take a little vial that’s frozen at negative 80 degrees Celsius. I put it in my warmer. It takes longer for me to defrost these cells. to give to you than it does for me to give you the procedure. And if it’s a medical condition, and again, this is an off-label use for those from the FDA, but if I’m treating Lou Gehrig’s, if I’m treating Parkinson’s, dementia, if I’m treating MS, if I’m treating COPD, heart failure, you name it, then that’s an IV infusion. But if somebody like yourself who had a bad knee, I would just put it into your knee. And you’re like, well, why would you do that? And the answer is blood flow. Joints have really poor blood flow, and we want all those proteins and peptides, cytokines and chemokines, to go where the problem is. In your case, it’s the cartilage in your knee. So because there’s poor blood flow, we have to put the stem cells right there. But if I’m treating a systemic issue like MS, like cancer, you name it, Lou Gehrig’s, then we do an IV because those stem cells hang out in your lung and your liver. They expand on their own on God’s timeline. A million cells will become close to a billion stem cells. And so you get the benefit for six to eight months of a billion cells producing every single protein and peptide known to heal the human body.
SPEAKER 04 :
So when you’re treating these things other than joints, it’s a series then of treatment?
SPEAKER 03 :
It depends on what the underlying condition is. So if you have, like in my uncle’s case, Lou Gehrig’s, or in Kat’s case with multiple sclerosis, that underlying pathology is always attacking. It’s always there in the background, right? So after the cells wear off in that six to eight months, in my uncle’s case, he got 10 and a half months out of his stem cells. Then he started to peter out, and I had to give him a booster. That’s exactly right. But other conditions, I can do a one and done because it’s a one-time insult. So let’s take a stroke, right? You had an attack, a brain attack. Part of your brain tissue died. I was always taught in medical school that you could not regrow neurons. We now know that is a lie. We can actually regrow neurons. So if I give you stem cells plus or minus a little hyperbaric therapy, I’ve got patients’ MRIs where the infarct is this big and I’m holding up my hands in a circle and then we follow them up four or six months later or the neurologist does and that thing is half the size. We actually regrew your neurons and now you have function back. But because it was a one-time insult, you only needed the stem cells one time to start that healing process. But for something that’s going to autoimmune disorders are the biggest That I’m going to have to treat you. You’re going to see me every 10 months or so, yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER 04 :
You’re seeing a big growth in that, aren’t you, the autoimmune area?
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, it’s crazy.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s exploding. I do a show with a doctor in Dallas since COVID, actually. And we were just talking about that the other day. And he’s a family doctor. But, I mean, that area has exploded.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, autoimmune disorders, low testosterone, hormone imbalances in women, especially after that COVID vaccine. I mean, I know Dr. Kelly Victory. She talks a lot with John about the COVID vaccine. So I don’t want to just keep beating that issue. But that thing is it’s poison. In fact, I was at my VA appointment yesterday, and I walked in there, and what was the first thing that little medical assistant asked me? It had the COVID vaccine. No, do you want the COVID vaccine? Oh, do you want? Even knowing everything we know now, our government is still pushing this crap. And I just looked at her. I said, not just no, but hell no. You shouldn’t be pushing this on any of our veterans or anybody else.
SPEAKER 04 :
I was never going to get it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right, exactly. Well, we’ve got to go to a break. I’m a little bit long, but thank you for stopping by and telling your story.
SPEAKER 04 :

Look at this weather and you look at the mountains and you’re not out there climbing them. Hey, going for a walk with the grandkids, whatever the case may be.

SPEAKER 09 :
We don’t yell at you.
SPEAKER 03 :
We inform you. Now, back to Rush to Reason. And you’re listening to Dr. Scott Villanueva for John Rush 560 KLZ. John will be back tomorrow. If you want to join me on the air, 303-477-5600. If you want a consultation with me, again, it is free down in Castle Rock. I do a lot of phone consults with people up in Wyoming, western slope of Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, anywhere that this signal reaches. Sometimes people will say hey to their relatives who aren’t even in this area. I heard this great doctor. You need to talk to him. And so I don’t have a problem with that. So give out my number 303-663-6990. And the name of the clinic is Castle Rock Regenerative Health Care down in Castle Rock. So we’re getting close to the end of the second hour. I promised in the first hour that I would talk to folks about the latest and greatest on Alzheimer’s dementia. So. I have become an investigational provider on a compassionate use for a new medication. I did sign a nondisclosure agreement, so I cannot tell you the name of the medication. However, the data on this thing is absolutely phenomenal. So there is a consultation that has to be done. And then it is given as an IV infusion, typically monthly. Most people who have gone through this protocol have done usually six infusions. And they are taking people with mild, moderate, or severe Alzheimer’s dementia. And yes, I’m going to use the word cure in some folks. But it is absolutely phenomenal how this medication improves people. Because it is fairly new, we have a couple of years of safe data. One person had a, I wouldn’t even call it a minor side effect. It was really more for the infusion itself and not something related to their brain. Whereas the medications that all big pharma had come out with Cause cerebral edema, which is swelling of your brain and hemorrhage. Trust me, you don’t want that. So this is really clean. And as I noted earlier, I just got back from the A4M conference down in Palm Beach. And I’ll tell you what, in the world of, there’s functional medicine doctors, there’s regenerative medicine doctors, there’s integrative medicines. A lot of us are doing kind of the same stuff. I am classic internal medicine trained, spent a lot of my career in the intensive care unit and realized that, you know what, this isn’t getting it. So I, because I do stem cells and I’ve been doing it for so many years, I’m that guy who doesn’t have blinders on. I ask the Lord every morning in the shower. That’s when I pray. to give me eyes to see, and so he has led me to the group of A4M, and the incredible things that we’re doing to not only reverse Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, that’s really where this medication fits in, but for mitochondrial health, for heart, for anti-aging, for reversing something called the epigenetic clock, it’s absolutely fascinating. It’s a great time to be a physician. I’m so excited. I tell my wife almost every day, this is the most excited I’ve been since I was a medical student. So I’m not throwing pills at people. But we’ll talk a little bit more in the last hour on that. If somebody has a question, then you can reach out to my office, 303-663-6990. If you have a loved one who has Alzheimer’s, Remember, the last time I was on, I told you we now know for a fact that Alzheimer’s dementia is type 3 diabetes. It has everything to do with insulin resistance and high sugar. So now I’m telling all my younger patients, in fact, my daughter who’s 23, I put her on a continuous glucose monitor. So what is that? When you see people walking around the grocery store or the mall or whatever and you see that little white thing on the back of their arm or on their belly, it’s not just for diabetics. So this thing is catching on that you can watch on your phone with this app What foods do to your sugar? And if you see a spike, the A1C is not always enough. And here’s the crazy thing that I just learned. If your hemoglobin A1C is over 5, you have insulin resistance. 20, 30 years down the road, you’re that person at high risk for heart attacks, strokes, and oh yeah, by the way, Alzheimer’s, dementia. So it behooves you, and I promise you, you go into any dock in the box with an A1C of 5.0, and they’re going to look at you and be like, what are you doing here? You’re perfectly fine. But you know now, no, there might be a problem. Let’s address it early before this becomes a real thing. Then with good nutrition, good supplements, because, again, remember, I was the guy who never believed in supplements. I have now changed my tune, and I believe in the things that make your mitochondria healthy, your glycocalyx. Yes, I said glycocalyx. What is that? That’s new. Glycocalyx, spelled G-L-Y-C-O-C-A-L-Y-X, right, for those who are driving. Listen to this later. The glycocalyx is inside every blood vessel. So we know, number one, you need nitric oxide, which comes from beets, which helps increase the nitric oxide, which keeps the vessels pliant, soft and flexible. Because a stiff vessel is a vessel that is sick and doesn’t function well and can lead to heart attack, strokes, high blood pressure, and all the bad things. So you need the nitric oxide, but you also need inside is something called the glycocalyx, and that has to be healthy as well. So some of the things that help with your glycocalyx is green seaweed, something called romnin sulfate. Yeah, romnin is not like ramen noodles, but it’s R-H-A-M-N-A-N sulfate. Resistance training, so pumping a little iron. Nitric oxide, again, beets help increase that. CoQ10, omega-3, methylated B vitamins. Those sorts of things and even the GLP-1s that we’re going to talk about coming in the top of the next hour. The GLP-1s are what? Those are the semaglutides, the terzeptides, the retitrutides of the world. But as we’re going to close out this hour, I promised John that I would read this text message that he received aimed at me and address this. So this is a quote. I hear Dr. Scott commercials all the time. I struggle with my weight. I’ve always had to be aware of everything I eat or drink with calories. I’ve lost 50 pounds on the soda SOTA plan. I went to my, quote, doc in the box, and they were mighty concerned because I lost it since my last annual checkup. They asked why I lost the weight, and somewhere along the way I said, I’d rather be dead than fat. That’s a quote. When I went to leave, the Douglas County Sheriff had been called. Don’t ever let anything slip at a doctor anymore, even if it’s meant tongue-in-cheek. It is true I’m down to 180, and I’d rather be in the ground than ever be 400 pounds, and that’s what I meant, but they thought I was physically harming myself or was fixing to. Again, you can’t say anything anymore without the government being called.” Then he said, next time Dr. Scott’s on the air, can he address what you watch and when you have to go to the doc in a box? Well, the answer is most of these guys have been indoctrinated. So you have to watch your mouth around everything. every one of them, I suggest you find a provider more like myself who’s open-minded and won’t be calling the sheriff on you. So there you go. We’re going to take a break. We’ll be back at the top of the third hour and talking about GLP-1s and a few other things. You’re listening to Dr. Scott filling for John Rush, 560-KLZ.
