U.S. Veteran shares life-changing experience getting stem cells

Ron, a former special operations officer, spent seven months on the 9/11 pile and developed chronic respiratory problems: six sinus infections yearly, lung scarring, and low oxygen. After stem cell infusions in Tijuana and later at a U.S. clinic, his oxygen saturation rose from 96% to 99% and he reports 95% improvement in symptoms.

Hi Ron. Thank you for coming back to Uplift Longevity Center. So this is your third time coming to our clinic for stem cell treatment, correct? Yeah. So I want to maybe have you share with the audience a little bit about your experience because you are a American hero. You were an army veteran, right? And then you became a special forces chief in New York, correct?
I was in special operations for the New York State Police yesterday.
Okay. And then so you had the privilege and honor of serving during 9 11, which actually put you in a precarious position because you were in the pit for how long?
Seven months.
Okay.
Yes. Our team got sent down there after the second plane hit and we went down what we felt was going to be rescues, but ended up being recoveries for seven months on the pile.
Wow. Okay. So did you realize how much damage was going to do to your health of this operation?
No. You know, in the fury of it all, we were so focused on trying to save lives or recover evidence that we weren't really thinking that it was going to be very harmful, honestly. And we were a lot younger at the time. And when you're younger like that, you don't really think of things like that. You know, you're just, go, go. And then I started getting some lingering health effects about a year afterwards. Some skin rashes and a bunch of sinus infections per year. I get about six sinus infections per year, which was, you know, I never, never got sinus infections prior to that. So I was constantly on antibiotics, like, you know, constantly. And ultimately got some care for that. And at about year, which was 2016, I had some shortness of breath on a run and a three mile run, which was really nothing for me at the time. And I just felt very ill. I went to my personal doctor, prescribed me major blood work and a CAT scan of my heart area, which he felt it was my heart. But after the scan was done, my heart was fine. It was the periphery of the CAT scan that revealed that I had lung nodules and some scar tissue and I never smoked a day in my life. And I then knew it was, you know, from 911 because we have already lost at that point numerous people in our agency and other agencies to cancers and disease from 9 11.
And these are all pretty young people, right? They were in their what, 30s, 40s?
30S, 40s, yes.
At the time. It must be scary to see what's happening around you.
It is, yeah. And I tell the world whenever I can that 911 is the longest acting killing terrorist event in history. It's still Killing. So I unfortunately lost my career over it. And I had a very rough transition. When you're used to being at the tip of the spear and, hey, you get used to the adrenaline too, you know, and the camaraderie of being part of a. An elite team to almost like a light switch to a very quiet house and just normal civilian life. And that was a hard adjustment. Went through a rough couple years of that trying to find treatments that could help me. And then I started to do a lot of research on holistic methods because the pharmaceuticals I were on were not helping me. So I started to put, what I like to say, tools in my holistic toolbox and chip away at it. And I pretty much exhausted everything that I knew out there that was holistic other than stem cells. So I knew that I had to stay ahead of this disease because colleagues are and still are dying around me. And I started to do a deep dive investigation on stem cells. Well, everything that I read and saw and heard is that you can't get stem cells in the USA at that time.
That's what you heard?
Yes. Right. Which. Which is less than a year ago. About eight months ago.
Wow. It's mind boggling. Despite, you know, I'm trying really hard to give the right information to people, but the, the myth persists. And how did you end up finding a clinic in Mexico?
I listened to a few podcasts and the announcers would recommend, you know, certain places, you know, in South America. So I, you know, and I saw some, you know, some celebrities going to some of these. So I'm like, oh, you know, I'm gonna go there. So I did.
So what's the place that you ended up going to?
I ended up going to a place in Tijuana called Cellular Performance Institute. Okay, yeah, Very caring crew down there. And great hospital. I had 150 million stem cell infusion. But even at the time, I was still unclear and didn't understand stem cells as I do now. I call myself a subject matter stem cells and SMU from my old world, which I briefed you on today, that those cells are expanded. And I didn't know the differentiation between expanded and native cells. At the time, I didn't even know. I didn't know what I didn't know. So after my treatment, I ended up having extreme fatigue and many other people that were with me had the same symptoms. At about the two month point, the fatigue subsided and I was breathing so much better. I did feel the effects of the stem cells. I was like, amazed.
So was it after a couple months, that's when you noticed benefits from the stem cells?
Yes, okay, Yes, I noticed at about the 2 month mark I got my energy back and my O2 saturation because I have an O2 meter went up to 99, from 96 to 99 and it held steady. So that was another clue.
So what were you told about the side effects from the clinic?
I never, never was told about any fatigue and yeah, I just, I didn't hear of any side effects actually, you know, briefs of any side effects of stem cells that I was briefed on. I knew that it was recommended that I did not work out for two months and which was that that was very hard too. You know, when you're used to not, you know, working out so much to go into, you just feel.
Did they tell you why you couldn't work out?
They said that they, they want the cells to go to where the inflammation is and not to cause further inflammation via working out.
Never mind. Moderate workout can be very anti inflammatory but that's, you know, that's a whole different point. But anyhow, so over two months later you notice improvement and I think you were giving me kind of a number, a gauge of how much improvement you were able to notice. So let's say you want 100% healing and recovery. So at that point you noticed that you were 50% better, correct?
I was about 50% better with my lungs. Very, very noticeable. My shortness of breath really minimized. It wasn't fully gone, but it was a nice reprieve from what I was going through. So it was about 50%. That's when I knew that I needed more.
How did you find your way to me?
Well, I'm very happy about that because I constantly do a checks and balances of everything I do and I constantly research the next greatest thing, the next greatest clinic, whatever. And I kept scrubbing. I couldn't understand why you couldn't get this in America. So I did more of a deeper dive and I found you on YouTube one night through my hours of YouTube watching videos about stem cells, I've learned so much on YouTube about them and so much that is wrong too. So interesting enough, I found you and I messaged you on Instagram and we got a dialogue and before you know it I have a consult with you and it was a breath of fresh air. You gave me so much education in that hour and a half console and you know, immediately told me, no, you need to start working out, you need, you need to start doing this. Yes, you can go use the sauna. It's good for the stem cells, you know, opposite of what these places in other countries are telling you. So I had my first appointment in September, and I would say after that infusion, in about three days, my energy went through the roof. I felt about 75% better.
Wow. In three days. In three days, did you experience any side effects?
None.
Okay.
All positive. So side effect meaning positive? Yeah. A lot of good things. Yeah. To where my kids even told me, dad, you look so much more youthful. And that's when I realized how healing stem cells are just not only to your internal injuries, but your complexion and all that as well. I also noticed about the two week mark that my word retrieval got so much better. I was saying words that I didn't say for years because I just couldn't remember them. I had brain fog. I just was stumbling over words and sentences and stuff, but I was like, oh my goodness, why am I saying these words? And. And I could directly correlate it to the stem cells.
That's beautiful. The words are all there. They were just blocked by inflammation. So we cleared inflammation. We get the cells to signal each other better. All of a sudden the words were. They're all along anyhow.
Yeah. Yeah. It was amazing.
Yeah. So you were 75% better and then was that. Did you continue to improve until the second treatment?
I continued to improve until the second treatment and then came in at the two month mark and got my second infusion through you. And at this point I was 95% healed in my. In the way I felt.
That's after how long after the second one?
I would say about a month.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
About a month I had and I kept wait. I was waiting for the shoe to drop. It was so good. I felt so good. I'm like, oh, my goodness. I don't have shortness of breath anymore. I actually feel I can actually go back and be a police officer and chase somebody to the point where I'm doing sprints and I can regularly do sprints.
Amazing.
So today actually is when I came in for my third treatment.
Yes.
And I call this the silver bullet treatment. Final kill shot in my 911 lung disease to inspire and show others that it can be done and that you don't have to go overseas to get the best stem cells on the planet. And I learned through you that the native, you know, stem cells, and you like to say intelligent cells, and they are intelligent, eat away scar tissue and make you just feel like you're in your 20s. Again. So I, I, I'm excited for the next couple months of healing from what I. My third infusion today. I know that this will bring me to 100% because I was 95 now, and I don't have shortness of breath. You know, I just needed this final one.
How beautiful. Yeah. This is amazing. And I know you also are very determined to help other 911 responders and people who suffered from the event. 9 11?
That's correct. Yep. And not only 911 responders, the military burn pit folks, too, which the disease is the same, breathing the same type of chemicals and, and all that. And there's a lot of those folks as well. So it's, you know, the stem cells that you provide, the native stem cells, are astonishing, and they truly do heal. It's not about treating. They heal. And you won't have to worry about being treated anymore after you get these stem cells. Because it heals it.
Yeah, yeah. I kind of want to reiterate because I, till this day, I'm still getting these contradictory information that's propagated by clinics overseas. I just received a video, which I'm gonna do a video to, you know, really explain what's really going on, you know, give people the information straight. Because till this day, people are bombarded with the rhetoric that expanded cells better than native cells. But even in this person's video, he's talking about how, yes, you're going to get some fever. You know, this is very common because there are too many cells. I don't see any of that in my clinic. It's not about that. It's too many cells. The immune system doesn't know what to do, so has a fever. It's because those cells have degraded and have differentiated, showing surface markers and mark them as foreign. That's what you experience with extreme fatigue. These cells have been expanded so much that they've developed surface characteristics that's consistent with the donor. So all of a sudden, your body just received all these cells that it doesn't recognize it came from another person. So you're having a rejection type of reaction. So that's why you have extreme fatigue. And really, people don't have to go through that. And, you know, the idea that the cells, after being expanded somehow are healthier, it's just not true. I mean, it's a nice idea, nice conjecture. This one person from that clinic called Dream Body Clinic, they were talking about how the cells were grown in the Garden of Eden, and it's really not. I mean, that's very romantic. Idea in the garden of Eden. In reality, these cells are grown in a culture medium that's drastically different from your own body's composition, your own blood. So that is actually a stressful environment for the cells to all of a sudden be in this vessel with all these. Just a few electrolytes, and then on this plate trying to grow to replicate itself. So in the stressful environment, the cells tend to differentiate because that's how they respond, and you gain some function. Instead of just being stem cells, I need to develop some more capabilities, you know, let me become more specialized cells. And in that process, also can become very inflammatory. So that's what we've seen. It just, you know, the fact that these clinics do not need to expand the cells. They would take one cord. And then, for example, this clinic was saying that they don't need to get another cord for six months. So from that one cord, they can treat. I don't know how many people they treat for six months. Right. So they're using this one simple cord that usually may. We may only be able to treat a few patients, but they're using it to treat maybe hundreds of patients. So you're expanding them. Expanding them, allowing them to grow in such huge numbers, that will mean that the cells would have degraded because you just. Cells don't grow on trees and just keep expanding. So I guess I just keep pushing the point that, you know, educating people, and you are kind of a perfect illustration. Right. It's hard to really let people know exactly what the difference is Unless somebody actually had gone to a clinic, got the treatment, and got whatever result there was, and then came here and then had a whole different experience. So you are, in a sense, some kind of a scientific experiment. Yeah. So thank you for conducting the experiment and then sharing with us.
Absolutely. At no time had I had any fatigue from your stem cells and the native cells. I've only felt the opposite. I've had a lot more energy, cognitive ability, and youthful appearance and just feel great. So, you know, that's why, you know, I want to help get the word out that you don't have to go to another country to get the best stem cells on the planet.
That's right.
Do it regularly.
The United States is still the leader in stem cell therapy in the world. People don't realize that we are still the number one in the world when it comes to stem cell therapy. So, you know, it doesn't matter what people want you to believe, but as far as research, as far as conducting treatments, we are still number one. China may be number two because they have so many umbilical cords and there's very, very active research, but the US still number one. Yeah. So thank you so much for sharing your experience and for doing so much for our country. And I, I'm Rooting for you 100%.
Awesome. Dr. Joy. I know it's going to happen.
Yes.
Thank you. It.
