YouTube video (by Joy Kong, MD) asserting that swelling reflects inflammation and that stem cell therapy can reduce inflammation and improve blood flow. The transcript includes a clinical anecdote of a rheumatoid arthritis patient who reportedly regained the ability to make a fist within 10–15 minutes of an IV stem cell infusion after two months of swelling and disability.
Swelling, people may not pay that much attention to it. But why are you having swelling? That really, again, is a sign of inflammation. Cells, different signaling molecules and fluid, everything is coming together and trying to do something in that area. A lot of times there's not enough element to help inflammation to calm down, and there's not enough blood flow to remove the excess fluid. So this is where stem cell therapy can come in. The stem cells can reduce the inflammation, reducing swelling. Dr. And it can, of course, improve blood flow like we talked about. Have I seen that in the clinic? Yes. One example I want to give you is one patient with rheumatoid arthritis. So she was a surgical technician and about to lose her job, had not been able to work for a few months. Significant swelling in her hands. She couldn't hold instruments during an IV infusion. This is only like 10, 15 minutes into the IV infusion. She made a fist like this, and she started crying. And she said, I have not been able to make a fist for two months. So the swelling went down so fast, literally within 10, 15 minutes of getting these cells.
