Dr. Joy Kong, a stem cell specialist, pushes back on Tony Robbins' 2016 claim that he had to go overseas for stem cell treatments. She says the same birth-tissue-derived stem cells could have been legally used in the U.S. if left unmanipulated, and that clinical evidence shows they help patients.
Let me tell you something about Tony Robbins book Lifeforce that may surprise you a little bit. He talks about in 2016 that he had to go overseas to get birth tissue derived stem cells in order to fix his joints. But the truth is he didn't have to because stem cell therapy was legal. He thought it was illegal. But it's only illegal if you expand the cells and you change the cells. But because in the United States, we were able to use cells that were native. So you in any way, then it's considered tissue transplant is not a drug. So you don't need to go through drug studies and you don't need to go overseas because these companies did not want to go through drug studies. So the truth is you can get the treatment you could in 2016. You still can these days. And actually, there are a lot of evidence that these cells have been extremely helpful for patients.
