Hey everyone, it’s Dr. Chloe here! In this episode of the Radical Remedy Podcast, I’m super excited to explore the incredible potential of stem cell therapy with our esteemed guest, Dr. Scott Faulkner. Dr. Faulkner is an internal medicine specialist who’s really making waves in this groundbreaking field. Together, we’ll dive deep into the different types of stem cells—specifically hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells—with a special focus on the latter because of its remarkable healing properties. Dr. Faulkner will break down how mesenchymal stem cells work, particularly through the paracrine effect, producing essential proteins and peptides that aid in tissue repair.
This episode is especially close to my heart as I share a personal story about my son, Remy, who has a rare genetic disorder called STXBP1. Stem cell therapy has brought about significant improvements in Remy’s condition, and I can’t wait to highlight how this treatment can profoundly impact individuals with neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders.
We’ll also dive into the regulatory and ethical landscape of stem cell therapy, emphasizing the importance of differentiating between in-body and petri dish expansion methods. Dr. Faulkner will share his own experiences to underline the risks involved, making it clear why thorough research and due diligence are essential.
Moreover, we’ll touch on the broader context of regenerative medicine, from the controversial history of embryonic stem cells to the promising advancements in adult stem cell therapies. We’ll discuss the pressing health challenges in the U.S., the influence of Big Pharma, and the critical importance of preventive healthcare practices like proper nutrition and exercise.
