Courtney Gillenwater, MD received IV stem cell therapy right after reconstructive throat surgery. A nurse was shocked by how much the surgical site had healed overnight. She expects stem cell therapy will become standard care to speed recovery after surgery.
They ended up reconstructing my palate, the back of my throat, took out my uvula. Big procedure. I ended up in the hospital, and the morning after I had the IV therapy, the nurse went to take off my face bandages, and she literally jumped back. It was incredible and almost superhuman the amount of healing that occurred after the stem cells. I just think one day this is going to be commonplace, that people are not even going to think twice. You're going to do surgery. You have to do surgery. Okay, let's get you some stem cells. So you're going heal twice or three times as fast.
