Congress Trumps FDA’s Overreach

In May, President Trump signed the “Right to Try Act” into law.

I first told you about this bill in July 2017. That’s when a member of the Texas House of Representatives made an emotional plea to his colleagues to pass the bill at the state level.

Rep. Drew Springer was desperate for his wife Lydia to try stem cell therapy. Lydia had been in a wheelchair for more than 20 years — ever since a diving accident left her paralyzed from the waist down.

The Texas bill passed. And in May 2018, it made its way to the federal legislature before being signed into law by the president.

The bill lets patients try “experimental therapies” that aren’t FDA approved.

For too many years, the FDA has been a puppet of Big Pharma and the medical industry. It won’t approve life-saving therapies without years of strict clinical trials.

And in many cases, it won’t EVER approve therapies that compete with Big Pharma’s drugs.

In the meantime, real people are suffering — and even dying.

Of course, the medical industry is up in arms with the passing of this law. They’re in a panic because this act gives patients access to “dangerous” treatments like stem cell therapy. They call it unproven and unsafe.

But it’s not. Science proves this therapy is safe and effective.

Brand new stem cell breakthroughs are happening all the time. Just in the last year, researchers:

✔ Restored eyesight in two blind macular degeneration patients in England.1
✔ Reversed erectile dysfunction in eight patients in Denmark.2
✔ Returned heart function to normal in patients suffering from severe heart failure in Scotland.3

As a regular reader, you already know that stem cells can heal stroke patients, normalize blood sugar in diabetics, relieve arthritis, activate the immune system, repair tendons and damaged joint cartilage and stop hair loss.

It’s no wonder Big Pharma is more worried today than they were a month ago.

Stem cell therapy promises to transform modern medicine. It could put Big Pharma and most doctors out of business. No wonder they’re up in arms.

You can be sure the FDA and Big Pharma will continue to keep fighting tooth and nail to block stem cell therapy. But I’ve already been using this miraculous therapy for several years.

Did you notice that most of the cutting-edge stem cell research I mentioned a minute ago is taking place outside the United States?

Hopefully, as the laws continue to change and evolve here, we’ll see more breakthrough studies at home.

But you know that I’ve never let the FDA stand in the way of care I can provide my patients.

That’s why I offer a number of stem cell therapies in my clinic. They work for a range of conditions as varied as:

  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • Stroke
  • COPD
  • Sports injuries
  • Aging skin and wrinkles
  • Hair loss

Wake Up Your Sleeping Stem Cells

But even if you can’t come to South Florida you can still benefit from this amazing science. You can increase the number of stem cells “sleeping” inside your own body — right in your own home. Here are three nutrients that will wake up your stem cells.

  1. Drink this tropical juice. Java plum — also called Jamun — contains powerful flavonoids called glucosides. They interact with blood stem cells and guide their transformation into red blood cells. Animal studies show glucosides stimulate production of heart muscle stem cells. This helps protect your heart and repair damage after a heart attack.4I recommend 100 mL to 200 mL of Java plum juice per day, taken after a meal. You can also buy java plum seed powder. Take 1 to 3 grams per day.
  2. Chew on some seaweed. Undaria pinnatifida, better known as wakame seaweed, promotes stem cell activity. It contains the anti-aging molecule fucoidan. This compound increases the release of adult stem cells into the bloodstream.5 It also helps mobilize those stem cells so they can travel to the parts of the body that need repair and renewal.Wakame is used in sushi and also makes a delicious salad. You can also find fucoidan supplements online. I suggest 400 mg a day.
  3. Eat this ancient superfood. Spirulina is a blue-green algae that’s been around for more than 3.5 billion years. It’s so dense with nutrients, you could survive on spirulina and water alone. Recent studies show that spirulina protects brain stem cells from damage by inflammation. And it triggers neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons.6Spirulina is usually sold as a powder at most health food stores. Stir a teaspoonful into a glass of water or juice, or add it to a smoothie. It’s also available in capsules or as 500 mg tablets. I recommend 4 to 6 tablets spread throughout the day.
