Hi. I'm Dr. David Greene, founder and CEO of our R3 stem cell, the nation's leader in regenerative medicine therapies. The topic today is your stem cells are lazy. What do I mean by that? And it's not meant to be offensive, it's just the truth in most cases. Once we reach the age of about 50 your stem cell counts drop off a cliff. Okay? You have about 90 percent less stem cells than you did when you were born but that's not the topic of this video. The topic is your stem cells are lazy, so the stem cells that you are making in your bone marrow or your adipose start to get less and less active. And that research has been done at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. And the researchers found that there was much less activity in those stem cells from your own body, but they don't exactly know why.
So, why would your stem cells get lazy and become couch potatoes? Once you reach the age of 50 and onward as opposed to the usage of stem cells from a younger source, it could be the fact that toxins that we take in over the years such as, you know, the alcohol that we drink, the smoking that people do, radio waves that hit our body. Maybe it's from some of the foods that we eat or the diseases that we have over the years, we don't know exactly but that is what we do know is that the stem cells that we all have after the age of, like, 50 are lazy.
So, you should think twice before you have a stem cell therapy using your own tissue bone marrow or fat after that age because not only are they're gonna be much less stem cells to work with, they're gonna be lazy. So, I hope that clears that up. visit us at our R3stemcell.com for a lot more information about stem cell therapy.
