The decline is there. So far today, there's nothing that we can do about it so far. There could be some research down the road that will show something different, but there's surprisingly not a lot of research on the bone marrow. So right now, there's nothing you can do about it. The number of stem cells decline.

Aside from the plans that we have studied, the only thing that is known to put more stem cells in circulation is fasting. It has an interesting relationship because fasting will put more stem cells in circulation during the fast. But strangely enough, these stem cells are sort of more dormant during the fast.

But when you resume eating, now their ability to regenerate is almost like boosted. And if you isolate any one of these stem cells and look at their ability to migrate and differentiate and proliferate, they seem like they work like younger stem cells. So it's almost like fasting also can regenerate or rejuvenate, I should say, these stem cells.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So, so far, fasting is probably the greatest tool that we know of in terms of supporting your own stem cells. But the decline, it's just what it is. Like there's nothing you can do about it. And it's interesting because you talked about testosterone, growth hormone. I mean, there's a lot of things past 30 that turns out, if you want. Like it's really not as good as when you were 15 or 20.

And it's very interesting that if you take a step back, We have evolved over tens of thousands of years with a life expectancy of 30 years of age. I'm not saying nobody lived longer. What I'm saying is as a species, that was you're born and you know that your life expectancy is about 30 years of age. So my point is that longevity has never been selected in our evolution.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So we end up today, over the past 150 years, we have gained an extra 50 years in life expectancy. We don't necessarily have the tools in the body. The body is not prepared to be able to live these extra years with full health. So we need to find ways to almost like hack leverage aspects of our physiology to allow us to live these extra years with more strength, more vitality.

Testosterone is one aspect, but stem cells is definitely like a core aspect of that.

It's a very interesting question, not easy to answer. I would say somewhere, it's probably a little bit like what you're describing with testosterone. It's not my specialty or my expertise, but my understanding of poor testosterone, not poor testosterone, let's say erectile dysfunction. To a large extent, It is actually driven by poor circulation.

It was believed to have a lot of mental aspects, psychological aspects, hormonal aspects. And while they do play some role, the bottom line is probably 80% of the cases is the microcirculation has been affected. It's a cardiovascular problem. Is that right or not?
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Yeah. So I would say stem cells are a little bit the same. I cannot say that there are not things that can actually affect stem cells directly. I think the bigger problem is that once stem cells have been released... How can we allow them to reach where they need to go, move everywhere in the blood circulation, and do fully what they can do? And the question is more there.

Oftentimes when I give lectures, I show this study. It's a short video that to me is like such an impact. So scientists, a group of Doris Taylor, she took the heart of a mouse, digested that heart with proteolytic enzymes that digest all the cardiac muscle. So after a number of hours, they're left with the soft skeleton of the heart, like the connective tissue of the heart.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And on that connective tissue that still retains the trace that it was a heart, they simply lay out the stem cells from that animal. And within about a week, they end up with a beating heart in the test tube.

Your stem cells in your bone marrow can completely reconstruct a heart. And I'm not just saying reconstruct heart cells. I mean reconstruct ventricles, atrium, nervous circuit, electrical circuit of the heart, the valves, everything in the heart for that heart to be functional. It is absolutely mind-blowing. Why is it that these stem cells don't do this in our body?
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And the thing is that they're actually doing it. Like we have cases where we have taken people on a heart transplant list, and within a matter of less than two months, they have normal heart function. We have seen that. The question is, these are like exceptional cases. Why in the majority, or in people who tend to have not as good health, why are their stem cells not doing their job?

And there are a number of answers to your question. Number one, there's something that is called a good mobilizer or a poor mobilizer. And the best way to determine if you're a good mobilizer, it's ridiculous, but we just count how many stem cells you have in your blood. If you have a lot of stem cells in your blood, you're deemed to be a good mobilizer. You

probably going to be among your friends, the one at 70 years old that is still running, is healthy, has no issues, is hiking and everything is great. Naturally, you have a higher level of repair capability in your body because you naturally release more stem cells. And the spectrum here is vast.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
If you look between the person, like the lower end of your red blood cells, for example, in the higher end, it's a range of about 2X between minimum and maximum. Stem cells, it's a hundredfold. Wow. It is vast. So you take a hundred people in the population, you count the number of stem cells, you have some of them that will be at the very bottom and others at the very high end.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And right now, I can tell you, those at the high end are the healthy ones. Those at the lower end are those that experience all kinds of health issues, don't recover fast, don't repair well, and so on. So if we can increase the number of stem cells in circulation, we can help them be more like the healthy people. So there is a genetic factor.

There's something we don't really know now what determines this, but we have good mobilizers and poor mobilizers, number one. Number two, Lipids are super crucial for a stem cell that is up to 20 microns to squeeze in a small capillary that is 12 microns. So these cells must be super flexible.

We know that it does not take a whole lot of time to have lipids in your diet to reach and penetrate your cell membranes. And the reason why I'm saying this is that if you've got a lot of fried food, saturated fat, oxidized fats in your diet, that ends up into your cell membrane and it can do a lot of things into your cells, including changing the normal healthy flexibility of stem cells.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Here's a factor that can affect your stem cells. If you don't move a lot, meaning your blood vasculature is not used to pump blood, to dilate, to provide a lot of blood flow to all your muscles. When you do exercise, your heart is pumping. It's putting pressure and it's cleansing the body. It delivers stem cells everywhere. Physical activity.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
If you don't have physical activity and you have areas of your body that start to have too much stasis, like it's not moving, it's too stagnant, those areas are likely to not have access to a lot of stem cells. Maybe not enough stem cells. If somebody has a chronic condition and nothing seems to do anything with it, then that person is still releasing stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Why are they not reaching that area? So exercise, poor blood vasculature. So list of all the things that are known to not be good for the cardiovascular system. They're going to not be good for the delivery of your stem cells to various tissues. Last one that shows up more as we age. inflammation is a signal that should be localized.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Where you have an injury, right there, the tissue is sending an SOS. It's telling stem cells, come here. This is here. You need to come here to repair that tissue. If that tissue does not get repaired for various reasons, then it becomes chronic.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
The fact, the chronic nature of that injury or that thing in your body that is not repairing makes that area starts to release constantly those inflammatory compounds. And it's a little bit like you having a fire in your house and after a while, You get smoke everywhere. And now with the smoke, you can't find where the fire is. But you know that there's a fire.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So you kick in the gear and you start to repair. But there's nothing to repair because you don't know where the fire is. So systemic inflammation fools stem cells, misguides them in their ability to really find where they need to go. So if you don't move, you have poor microcirculation, your inflammation becomes systemic.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You can release stem cells, but they can't reach the area where they need to go. So these are all elements that are going to reduce the ability of your repair system to do its job as you're aging. Did that answer your question?
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Not poor production of stem cells. It means that your overall blood environment is no longer optimal to deliver these stem cells exactly at the area where they're needed. Got it. That's really all it means. It's not C-reactive protein is more a marker in that situation. I'm talking about all inflammatory cytokines.

The ones that are going to tell a stem cell, think of a stem cell as a little bit like you're, okay, let me take this analogy. I'm making like super simple here, hopefully not too simple. Like your fireman that has his hacks, his water tank in the back, and he's going around. And the moment that he sees smoke, he takes the water tank, shoots it, breaks the whatever.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
He does his job and he puts off the fire. So now that fireman gets into a house, sees the smoke everywhere, takes the water tank, starts to spray water, but the fire is not there. All you've got there is the smoke. So when he ends up at the place where there's the fire, the tank is empty.

So in a way, the stem cell, when it gets stimulated in its migration capacity, it has spent a lot of the adhesion molecules, the tools that it needs to go from the blood, migrate through the capillary into the tissue. All that machinery is spent outside of the area where that stem cell can migrate.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So they're there in the blood and they lose their full ability to do their job if they are in an area with systemic inflammation.

Okay. Well, it's an interesting story, I think. Not because it's my story, but as a scientist, to me, what is fascinating, anytime during my schooling or after, anytime I would hear a story about somebody who discovered something through what I would refer to as the traditional scientific investigation, meaning... You start with no desire.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
We've seen this in cases, we did a preliminary trial with Alzheimer's patients years ago, and we were seeing that some of the most advanced cases, to our surprise, had many stem cells in circulation, but those stem cells had lost the receptor to listen to the tissue calling for repair.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So the stem cells are called from the bone marrow, they're put into the circulation, but they can't find where they need to go. And then those patients at a super high level of systemic inflammation. It's these observations that have put me on the track of really understanding how systemic inflammation is really a burden for stem cells in their role of finding where they need to go in the body.

Whenever you have pain, And we need to like, I mean, it's not difficult to understand. We just need to develop that groove in our brain to really go there with the thinking process. Pain is a signal. It's a signal telling us You stop moving that area to not make it worse. And then the inflammation are signals to attract stem cells, increase the ability of stem cells to flow in that area.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So you increase the blood flow. There's more liquid. They can circulate better. They're attracted to that area. But when they arrive there, stem cells, the first thing that they will do is shut down this inflammation. Because think of any injury that you've had. Let's say you cut yourself, okay? On the day that you cut yourself, this is painful. I mean, you touch it.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Anytime you touch your finger or you just slice your finger, it's really painful. Give it a day or two. The cut is still there, but it has lost its sensitivity. Okay? And then as it really starts to heal, the pain is gone. And my point here is that repair cannot take place at the same time as inflammation. You cannot have both together.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So the stem cells will shut down the inflammation and then the tissue can properly repair. So as long as you've got the inflammation, it's because you did not have the repair. So... One of the reasons why you have that situation for the past few years is that the stem cells are declining.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
The rate at which you, I wouldn't say abuse, but the rate at which you apply insult to that area of your body is not... is too much for the number of stem cells that you have in your body to go and repair. So as you keep training, you overpower this ability to repair and it has become a chronic situation. That chronic situation make that inflammation becomes sustained.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And now with that inflammation sustained to an extent, stem cells have more difficulty now finding that area and reaching it. So now it started to be in a cycle. So I'm thinking a good thing to do is stop this area for a while to really allow this area to reduce the amount of inflammation that it's releasing, put more stem cells in circulation. So now the stem cells can really see where to go.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
All you want is that you have something in front of you that you can't really explain, and you're just trying to find an explanation. So you position a hypothesis, you follow it, you test it in the lab, and then you move forward. And at some point, either you discover nothing or you discover something that changes everything.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And these stem cells will go in repair. And then when you go back to train, you will see that you have now repaired, cut that cycle. I'm not saying no pain will come. Because age is a reality. There could be like remaining damage to the tissue. But I would say give it a little bit of rest for a while. I would not be surprised if it completely disappears. We have seen that in a lot of people.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So I would say to summarize this, give a chance to the area. To kind of rest for a little while so that the stem cells can fully repair so that you don't keep adding insult to a tissue that has not fully repaired. Put more stem cells in circulation, it will fully repair. And then when that is done, the pain and the inflammation will have gone. They will have no reason to be.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
It's the other way around. What I mean is that it's a little bit like, let's go back to the immune system. If you've got an infection and you do whatever, you stimulate mitochondrial function, And it helps get rid of your infection. The only logical thing is that you've stimulated mitochondrial function in immune cells and your immune cells were more effective.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Because it's only immune cells that are going to kill the bacteria in your body. They are your immune system. So we need to think about this in the same way. Only stem cells in your body will do the repair. There's nothing else in your body that does repair. It's your stem cells that are in charge of repair.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Anything that you do that is going to support repair has to act through stem cells in one way or another. Red lights are going to help repair. Well, red lights are going to stimulate microvasculature in an area and will help pool more stem cells in that area the time that you have the red lights.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
It will stimulate mitochondrial function because these stem cells now, one stem cells migrate into your muscle, That stem cell is irrelevant. What is one stem cell among the 10 billion cells in your muscle right now? It's irrelevant.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But if that one stem cell becomes a million stem cells, and let's say a million stem cells have migrated in that tissue and they all become 100,000 tissue cells, now you've got robust repair. So going from one stem cell to many tissue cells, that process of expansion and amplification requires massive genesis of mitochondria, mitochondrial biogenesis. So massive.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And in this case with the stem cells, I think we discovered something that is like completely changing our understanding of health, wellness, disease formation, longevity. But it started really in a very benign way. I knew nothing about stem cells. I was studying this blue green algae from Klamath Lake. You may have heard of the product.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So as you support your mitochondria, you're going to support the amplification of these stem cells and you fully support the repair process. But it's the stem cells that did the process. So you can think of almost like anything that is supporting repair like mitochondrial function. And it's because it's going to leverage stem cell function.

I am, and I don't have an answer because they're too recent now in science. So I'm not aware of how the two are working together. But if I were to gamble, I would bet on this way more than I would bet on the Super Bowl. I would bet without hesitation. It has to be related. It has to be that BPC-157 or any of those peptides.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
There's no doubt in my mind that somewhere they leverage stem cell function.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
It's probably one of the conditions. So we have studies now with the plants that I use to stimulate stem cell release. We have one study ongoing on congestive heart failure, one on Parkinson's. We're starting one on COPD emphysema. We're starting one on liver failure and one on colitis. And the reason why we're targeting this condition is just because of what we have seen historically.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So the gut is a really good example because... Organs that have a very rapid turnover rate, like the liver, for example, a fairly rapid turnover rate. If you don't have enough stem cells, but you have a degenerative process that is affecting that tissue, the decline can be fairly quick. But the repair can also be fairly quick.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You just suddenly provide more stem cells and the tissue will suck up these stem cells. And that's where colitis comes in. You have a new lining of the intestinal layer just about every five days. So your fine, fine intestinal layer is epithelial layer of the mucosal, intestinal mucosa is one cell thick layer. And it's filled with stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast

So I was hired in 1995 to study how this plant was working in the body. This was just after the passage of the DSHEA, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. And the company selling this product needed to have an explanation, a mechanism of action to be able to support and data to be able to support the claims that they were making. So that's how I started.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
These stem cells are going to constantly replenish and renew the lining of the intestine. So if you've got an insult in one area of the intestine where you have an inflammatory process that is going to overcome or overwhelm, I should say, the speed and efficiency at which the intestine can renew itself, then there's a place where the tissue is degraded and now you have an acute phase.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You bleed, you have pain, you have everything that is associated with colitis or poor gut. I'm not talking about flora here. I'm talking about the lining of the gut. If you put more stem cells in circulation, stem cells in circulation can replenish tissue stem cells, and now the tissue stem cells will renew the tissue.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So there's a lot of studies that are underway showing how stem cell injection or putting more stem cells in circulation can very significantly boost the ability of the intestine to renew itself. I'm not saying that we have resolved the problem because the problem, whatever is the cause of that problem has not changed. You've just boosted the ability of the intestine to repair itself.

So you've removed the symptoms of it. You've increased the quality of life of the person. So you need now to dig in and really find what's the cause of the issue. But stem cells can definitely have a huge impact on the health of the digestive system. Now, this is not the flora. If you look at it the other way around, what would be the impact of the flora on stem cell function?

To my knowledge, not a lot of things have been done on this. But there's no, I mean, I have zero doubt that there would be an impact. Just because of the impact of the flora on the immune system. After all, stem cells are lymphocytes, are in the broad family of lymphocytes. So I would, I have no doubt that there would be an effect. It's just as it has not been studied to my knowledge.

Well, for me, it goes in phases. So what I mean is that when there's a lot of traveling, a lot of event, a lot of different things linked to the business world, then this is not the time that I can read. So oftentimes, I will go through a round of search on PubMed, kind of looking as to what is new. I load this on my iPad, and plane time is the time that I have basically to read.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
That's when I read. And it depends of where I am, if you want, business-wise. I'm working on a second book that is going to really document, really the link, like going to the core of how stem cells not only are the repair system of the body, but the renewal system of the body, meaning we lose cells every day and stem cells are responsible to offset or replace the cells that are being lost.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But because the number of cells declines as we age, we Tissues cannot fully renew themselves, and that is the fundamental cause of the development of age-related diseases. So there's no doubt, but that has not been formulated, described in the scientific literature the way that I think it should be. So I'm working on this book.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So I'll make the story short here. But as I'm studying this plant, we quickly identified its main mechanisms of action. But as I'm researching it, I come across people who, after consuming this blue green algae plant, at reversal of multiple sclerosis, diabetes, heart disease, emphysema, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, liver failure.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So right now, I'm going back into another phase to go back and say, OK, over the past five years, what else has been done in that field to document this phenomenon? So I go through phases. But yeah, we have to stay updated, up to date with all the scientific literature, no question. But let me add one other thing to this.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
The field of stem cell research, just go on PubMed and do stem cells and see how many stem cells are out there. I have not done this for a while. So let's see what happens.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So stem cells, let me, okay. There you go. Stem cells, there's Oh, this is this year. So 75,000 articles. Just this year. This year. But I remembered when I looked at this some time ago, probably like five years ago, I mean, it's like close to like 100,000 plus studies that have been published so far on stem cells. It's one of the most prolific field of medicine.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And it's extremely compartmentalized. So you get people who are in stem cell injection, umbilical cord stem cell injection, fat stem cells. Like everything is like so funneled through various verticals that it's very easy. So my expertise is releasing your own stem cells. So my area is more, what is the natural role of stem cells in the body?
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
How can we boost the natural role of stem cells in the body? What can diminish the role of your stem cells? What can you do about it? So I stay up to date with injections, but it's not really my world.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So these are the areas where I go very deep, like better understanding how the body works naturally.

I mean, it's a, I don't know if I would say linear evolution, but let me share with you one story. So we are in 2007, 2008, and we're at an event. I think it was like a... a conference on diabetes. So a bunch of doctors were there. And at some point, I come across a doctor and he says, are you the guy with this product, like with stem cells? And I said, yeah, yeah.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
He says, well, this is bull crap. Stem cells cannot do this and that. And at some point, he talked about the brain. And I said, sure, stem cells can become the brain. And at the time, I was working on my first book, Cracking the Stem Cell Code. And so I was traveling with a lot of the literature printed. And so I said, well, if you want, I can go to my room and I have all that literature.

I can bring and show you the papers. And he says, don't bother, son. Let me tell you something because it looks like nobody has told it to you. He says, you're just an idiot. It was funny because it made me laugh. It did not make me laugh because it was a snapshot of many things in our society. He was an older person, so it was not a snapshot in time.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
I mean, conditions, not only the stories were very impressive, but they were touching all aspects of human health. So for me, the question as a scientist was, after some time, I could not deny the results that we were seeing. But the question was, what is the one thing that this plant is doing that is helping improve
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
It was a snapshot of a reality that is still common today. If you go to med school, And there's something that you're not told in med school, which is the apex. I mean, if they don't tell you in med school, then that means it's just like internet Google crap. It's not real. If it's real, then they will tell you in med school. So because they're not told in med school, then it's nonsense.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And then the fact that stem cells were known historically. to only be precursors to blood cells. So until you really look into it, that statement goes against like a strong dogma of what is being taught in college. So they're taught stem cells can only become blood cells. And now this young idiot is telling you that, no, they can become other things in your body.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And not only they can become other things, but of all things, the brain, which is not known to repair. So they can become brain cells. And not only they can become brain cells, But you can actually really improve cases of Parkinson's. I mean, you just go through so many of the dogmas. So that, let's say 15 years ago, was like a wall. Literally like a wall. And then there was a slow opening...
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And I have seen a huge opening in 2023. And I don't know why. Is it COVID where people now kind of understand that they are responsible for their health? Like the system is not really there for them to an extent. Right.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Is it the book by Tony Robbins, Life Force, I think, that has really talked about stem cells and heard for the first time from somebody that a lot of people find credible, basically talking about the positive sides of stem cells? Because before that, from a political standpoint, stem cells were baby parts. For a lot of people, they were baby parts. They've never been baby parts.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
This was politics. So now something has changed. And in 2023, the message that I have, I have three millionaire miles just talking worldwide about this topic for, what, 24 years. And for 21 years of these years, The response was just like, I'm not saying I'm talking like it's like a wall, but I mean, it's really an uphill battle.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And in 2023, suddenly the public is really receiving that information very differently. So I go now and I speak with a room full of doctors. And at the end, half the room wants to start to try the product, wants to put this old knowledge to the test because they understand it, they accept it. So something has changed.

In one person, the pancreas, in someone else's, the liver, someone else's, the lungs, someone else's, the heart, and so on. So we had no real understanding for a number of years until one day I came across an article documenting for the first time, to my knowledge, stem cells going from the bone marrow to the brain and becoming a brain cell.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Yeah. In the middle of all of this, I think stem cells is definitely, if not the greatest, definitely one of the greatest discoveries in the history of medicine. I put it online with like the discovery of antibiotics that have completely changed, you know, I mean,
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
the, of the deaths that we have a hundred years ago was people dying of tuberculosis, cholera, you know, pneumonia, all kinds of things that can be taken care of very quickly with antibiotics.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
It has changed the course of, of history. And I think stem cells are the same. Uh, One of the reasons why it's making all of these discoveries, the establishment of everything, the knowledge of stem cells, and this to really penetrate the society as antibiotics did, it's just because of its very nature. Antibiotics were embraced. They came from pharma. It was embraced. Everybody knew about it.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
It was used everywhere. Stem cells are different. And I don't want to go too deep into this, but it's super important for people to understand. If you look at medicine today and what is done normally, think of any disease, heart disease, diabetes, like the top 10. Think about the top 10. The treatment for these top 10 are never a cure.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So you go back in 2001, stem cells are only known to be precursors to blood cells. Our knowledge is that that's what stem cells are doing. They're not becoming cells of your heart or anything else. And of all organs of the body, my background is brain research, we are told and we were told that the brain does not regenerate.

I can repair, not I. Stem cells can repair this pancreas, can repair that heart, can repair the lung, can repair the brain, can repair the part of your body that right now you're just compensating for with drugs. It changes everything. It is such a massive disruptor that the system is like saying no to it.

And when I say the system, I mean the countries where the grip of that medical system is strong enough. So you go to the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, all of these, and that's it. It's regulated up the wazoo and there's very little that you can do. But you go into countries where... People don't have the money to treat themselves in that same way.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So in these countries, oftentimes you find doctors that will say, whatever works for my patients, I'm going to do it. And in these countries, those kinds of regulations have allowed the full application of stem cell therapies. And that is why you can go in these countries and have full access of what is really the regenerative power of stem cells.

It's something right now that the world is kind of really trying to resist against. They won't be able to resist. It will develop. I don't know how. I don't know how it's all going to happen. I cannot predict the next 10 years. All I can say is that stem cells are curative. It repairs. It gets rid of problems.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Well, so go back to where we started. I'm studying this blue rhinology from Klamath Lake. Its name is Athanizominon flus aqua, so in short, AFA. So I'm studying this plant. We discover it acts as a stem cell mobilizer. So the first answer, response from the medical community, the scientific community is like, if you don't have a mechanism of action, it may not even be true.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So to see a stem cell going from the bone marrow to the brain becoming a brain cell, I thought it was like amazingly interesting. So I went to the local library to see what else I could find, the medical library, and I found one other article documenting stem cells becoming heart cells and another one documenting stem cells becoming liver cells. So we're back in 2001 here. I thought...
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Maybe just like an artifact. So we had to go and dive and find the active compound, the mechanism of action. And then after that, it's like, well, maybe you put more stem cells, but it doesn't mean anything. Maybe it's bad for you. So we needed to have a proof of concept where we can show into an animal model of injury that we can boost repair and do studies like
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
with cancer to show that it's not going to boost cancer. We've shown that actually it suppresses cancer. But we have to do all these things and file the patents, all of that. So the first product was launched in 2005. So as soon as that was done, in the back of my mind, we evolved in symbiosis with the environment. It cannot be that there's only one plant having an effect on stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
There has to be other plants. There's not only one plant having an effect on the immune system. You don't only have echinacea out there. There are a lot of plants that have an effect on the immune system. There has to be other plants. So how do we find them?
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So I simply asked the question, just like when I had AFA, the observation is that it was bringing benefits to many different people, touching many different conditions. So the question was, what else is known out there on the marketplace, in the overall in the world, that has been associated with a broad variety of health benefits?
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So the first thing that comes to mind would be like goji berries, medicinal mushroom, adaptogens. Some medicinal plant like pho tea, for example, in Chinese medicine that has been associated with longevity. So we went to the lab and we tested a lot of these plants. And then we found that all of them have an effect of some kind of stem cells. By some kind, I mean either release of stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And we've discovered that some of them stimulate the migration of stem cells out of the blood into tissues. Is the image okay or it's moving?
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Yeah, okay. So all these plants have shown either release or migration of stem cells into tissues. But it's when I had a chance to go back into remote areas of the world. Like I had a chance to go to Madagascar. They don't have in Madagascar like goji berries from China. They don't have medicinal mushroom from China. But they have something in Madagascar that they have been using for centuries.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
What is their go-to plant locally? So Madagascar has like 65 species of aloe that they use for, you know, that grows there. Only one of them has been used for centuries to make a product called Vajona. And they use it for all kinds of health issues. So I went to Madagascar.

A colleague of mine now is developing all the co-op and all the system to harvest that plant right now because before there was no real market for this. It was just simply done locally by native Malagasy people for their own market, their own people. So now we harvest it. We bring it. But anyway, we tested it.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And so far, it's one of the few of the top plants releasing stem cells from the bone marrow. So at some point, I came across in China from the Tibetan plateau, seabuckthorn berry. So seabuckthorn berry in Tibetan medicine, Mongolian medicine, Chinese medicine has been associated with disease of the lung, the heart, cardiovascular system, pancreas, and to boost you like diabetes.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
and to boost the ability of the body to repair from burn to the skin, cut, bone fracture. So when you look at the benefits, the broad variety of these benefits, my hypothesis is that, well, nobody has ever looked at this because it was not a thing before, but probably the effect is stem cells. So I went on the Tibetan Plateau.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
I found a farm that I could work with, and then we developed an extract of sea buckthorn berry. We tested it, and we saw a strong response on stem cells. So the product, so Stem Regen Release, the product that I've developed, is the top five plants that we have studied over the years that act as stem cell mobilizer products. putting more stem cells in circulation.

If stem cells can become heart, brain, and liver, why not pancreas, skin, lung, and the rest? It makes no sense that stem cells will become those three organs, but not the rest. So let's assume they can become everything. That means they have to be the repair system of the body. How can you see an immune cell migrating from your lymph nodes,
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And along the way, as we studied things like medicinal mushroom, we found that medicinal mushroom were actually stimulating goji berry the same, stimulating the migration of stem cells out of the blood into tissues. So there's very little documentation of that aspect in the scientific literature.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But it makes sense that if a stem cell is in your blood and it goes to repair your heart, that means it needs to leave the blood and go into the heart. So even though this is poorly documented, if I have something that boosts that step, then it would be advantageous to leverage it.

The first observation on AFA was 2001. And the formula as it stands today with stem regen release was done in 2019. Wow. Wow. So that's 18 years of using the original ingredient, then blend it with other ingredients and moving with different formulations and test them in clinics.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Because with some of these products, you imagine that if I have a product that puts more stem cells in circulation and at the same time stimulates their migration out of the blood into tissues, I can no longer test their efficacy by counting how many stem cells I have in the blood circulation.

That's a little bit like saying, I'm looking at the money that you have in your bank account, and I increase the income, but I also increase the expenses. So the money in your bank account may not move. It doesn't mean that no money came in.

If a million bucks came in, you spend a million, your lifestyle is way above what it was before, but you still have the same amount of money in your bank account. So counting the number of stem cells is no longer the metrics to see what the product can do.

So I had to move into clinical trials, and that's why right now we're testing stem regen release with congestive heart failure, with Parkinson's, and with different conditions. For example, on congestive heart failure, this is an ongoing study.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But right now, the data that we're going to publish soon is that on 10 patients after six months, so people with chronic, stable congestive heart failure after six months have regained normal heart function. 10 out of 10. Which is pretty impressive. Yeah. So they were after a number of years with whatever medicine could do for them.

to the area where you have an infection, where that immune cell goes beside the bacteria and kill the bacteria. This process is well coordinated. It's not random. You would not say, what a crazy cell that went and killed this bacteria. No, it's your well-orchestrated immune system.

Yeah. So let me lay out the science. There's even an article published, gee, I think like almost 15 years ago. The title is atherosclerosis is the result of a decline in endogenous repair. This is one of those that have been the most documented. And we can look at it from various levels. Like first, let's do like the studies. You take an animal.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You treat this animal in various ways to stimulate atherosclerosis. They've done the same thing in a mouse model that will naturally develop atherosclerosis. And if you take few animals and you simply trigger the release of their own stem cells, you will not see the development of atherosclerosis. So these studies have been done and have been published.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
If we look at the development of it, I think the mechanism of action is that atherosclerosis starts with a microlesion in your arteries. If it does not repair, then it gets infiltrated by immune cells, who then become foam cells or like dysregulated cells because of certain fat ingestion.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
then they start, in this dysregulation, they start to trigger inflammation, calcification, and then the whole process builds up into atherosclerosis. But if you have enough stem cells to repair the microlesions at day one, then none of that process follows. So I think that the link here, and there is, like you take atherosclerosis, you take, for example...
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
One sign, one tool to do, what is the word here? Like, not a survey, but like a precursor sign of the development of atherosclerosis is a thickening of the basal membrane, if you want, of your arteries. the intima media layer. A precursor sign to atherosclerosis is the thickness of the wall of the arteries.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So you can look right now that if the difference between somebody that is below the thickness, like which is healthy,
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
or above the thickness that is basically telling you you are now developing atherosclerosis, and you can see that there's a difference in the number of stem cells in these individuals, meaning that you having low level of stem cells is already a sign that you're in line to develop atherosclerosis.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And if you look at all the associated problems associated to atherosclerosis, like there's a much higher incidence of erectile dysfunction, for example, with people with atherosclerosis. So same thing. People with erectile dysfunction have fewer stem cells in circulation. So there's a link here. Well documented.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
If you have cells that can become cells of various tissues in your body, they have to be the repair system of the body. We published an article in a journal, Medical Hypotheses, suggesting that stem cells are the repair system of the body. In the back of my mind,
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
If you are a poor mobilizer with fewer stem cells in circulation, you are likely to develop atherosclerosis.

Just like we have plants stimulating the immune system, what if this blue-green algae was working by stimulating the release of stem cells? So in 2001, two very, very far-fetched ideas. We could not find any scientist just thinking that our idea was making any sense. But to me, it just made a lot of sense. So we acquired a flow cytometer, which is the machine to count stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Well, the only thing I can say is that the scientific literature is clear on one thing. And it's the fact that while you may have high level of lipoprotein A, That itself is not the issue. The issue is that it compounds with the microlesions, you know, what I talked about before, that then makes the problem much more risky for you, risky to develop.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But if you boost the repair, then the lipoprotein A is no longer an issue in the same way. So I would say your score in terms of the health of your cardiovascular system will definitely improve. And that's tied to the stem cells. So when I get these tests, I got these tests done maybe like three years ago. And I'm 60 in a few weeks. And I have the cardiovascular system of like a 30-year-old.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And I've been taking these products for a long time. And I attribute it to the fact that I have more stem cells to just repair. I'm not aware of an effect of the stem cells directly on lipoprotein A. I did some research and I could not find anything. However, what I can say is that I chose these ingredients and I put them together for their effect on stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But historically, they've been documented for a lot of other things. So, for example, the sea buckthorn berry, there's tons of documentation on how the flavanols and the flavonoids of the sea buckthorn berry have been mostly documented for their effect on lipid metabolism and cardiovascular function. So I would have to dig a little bit deeper to see what has been done with the seabuckthorn berry.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But my assumption here is that it's probably one of the mechanism of actions, that some of the other polyphenols found in some of the ingredients. So seabuckthorn berry has a lot of polyphenols in the extract that we use. The fucus extract that we use has a lot of polyphenols, fluoroglucanol. And these have been documented to have a strong impact on lipid metabolism.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So that could be what has been the mechanism of action. I'll dig into it a little bit more because if no drug can do anything about it, it could be something interesting to know.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
We started to count stem cells in our blood, took a blood sample, count stem cells, then took the blue green algae and took another blood sample an hour, two hours, three hours later. And we saw the whole phenomenon. So you take this plant and within a few hours, you release your own stem cells. You have an increase in the number of stem cells in circulation.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Well, let's go back into what we were talking about earlier. The moment the stem cells have been released and they are in your blood circulation, we know they're amazing regenerative properties. Keep in mind the fact that they can rebuild an entire heart. So why is it? that at times people don't see the full, that kind of benefits in their own lives.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So two things can stand in the way, poor microcirculation and systemic inflammation. So, and that's why these two products were made. It's simply to, you've released stem cells, now we want to maximize their regenerative properties in the body. So Mobilize is basically four different technologies blended together to enhance microcirculation. So we have natokinase that increases blood fluidity.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So entrainment. So your stem cells can be up to 20 micron. A capillary is about 12 micron. So for a stem cell to really squeeze itself into a fine capillary, you need to have good blood entrainment. So you will get that. You want water in your blood circulation and not molasses. So that's what it is. It turns the molasses into water. So your blood has greater fluidity.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You want your blood vessel to be able to fully expand. So we have nitric oxide producer. The expansion of capillaries depend on the flexibility of the environment of these capillaries. This is connective tissue collagen. So we want the kind of bioflavonoids that have been documented to boost collagen formation,
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
These are all plants or bioflavonoids that have been shown to really support capillary bed and the environment of capillaries. And you want to rebuild the glycocalyx, which is the layer of the surface of capillaries that really allows cells to flow freely. So we have polysaccharides from seaweed helping to rebuild the glycocalyx. So Mobilize is those four technologies.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Blood fluidity, blood dilation, sorry, capillary dilation, capillary integrity and flexibility, and glycocalyx. So now you've really given access to your stem cells, to all the fine microvasculature in your body, which is the only place where they can migrate into a tissue and then do their role of healing. Now, the other one is for them to really find where to go.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And from that point on, I've basically dedicated everything to study the role of stem cells in the body, and more importantly, their role as being the repair system of the body, and how can we boost that repair system to gain, you know, greater health, greater repair, and so on. So in a nutshell, that's kind of how I got into stem cell research.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
We want to suppress the background noise. So that's the systemic inflammation. So we have a bunch of plant extract that have all been documented to suppress one aspect of the whole inflammatory cascade, if you want. So we have plant extract that will suppress COX-2, 5-LOX, the secretion of all kinds of inflammatory cytokines. We have bromelain, which is an enzyme that can digest existing enzymes.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
inflammatory cytokines in the blood. So basically we suppress all the noise so that stem cells can better see the signal coming from an injured tissue or a tissue needing repair. So you release stem cells, eliminate the noise, allow stem cells to see where they need to go and give them access to your microcirculation. That's what the whole protocol is about.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Yeah, we've heard a lot of those stories. This is a number of years ago. There's somebody who wanted to sue us because she said the product gave her hemorrhage. She hemorrhaged. And so at some point I said, well, can you share your medical record? Hemorrhage will show up in some ways. Yeah. the blood work showed there was absolutely nothing abnormal.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So when we started to press for more questions, like tell us what happened, like what do you call hemorrhage? And at some point she really blurped it out. She said, I didn't have my period for two years and my period came back and I don't like it. She was happy not having your period anymore. But I'm thinking, what a sign of rejuvenation.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Yes, it's correct in the sense that when science discovered that stem cells from the bone marrow could have some ability to repair, they had some regenerative properties, I discovered that in the scientific literature. So other people did the work before me, but...
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
What a sign of rejuvenation. But some people don't like it, but we have seen that quite a bit. So I won't say we've seen a lot of people regaining their period, but a lot of people going through that phase... who get much more regularity, are much less affected by everything that comes around, going through menopause. So we've had a lot of that.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And then the other thing that you're describing in terms of repair, this is like everybody's story, is how they recover faster from an injury, from a surgery, from a workout. Just recovery. It's your stem cell. On the mood, there is one... interesting chemistry in stem region release, which is the blend of the AFA extract and the C. buctorum. So AFA contains one specific molecule.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
We documented this, I think, in what, 1997? It's called phenylethylamine. So it's PEA. So in chemistry, it's known as the molecule of love. When you feel content, Let's say today you have financial problems. Yesterday they were not there, tomorrow they're not there. Today you have them. And suddenly you start to do sculpting or painting and now you forget everything about them.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Nothing has changed in your life. The only thing that has changed is your perspective. The moment that you engage in something that you like and suddenly you no longer think about your problems, the noise is not bothering you, you're not hungry, you're like flowing, your brain is making P.E.A. So it's a modulator of neurotransmitters for dopamine, norepinephrine.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
It's associated with mental clarity, sort of mood elevation. So AFA contains that molecule, but it's quickly degraded in the brain by an enzyme that is inhibited by one of the components that we find in C. buckthorn berry. So when you combine both together, you get a nice feeling. It's not caffeine. It's not like energy, but it's a nice feeling of just like, you just feel more content. Yeah.

As they are doing this work, it is assumed that stem cells from the bone marrow, as they sit in the bone marrow, don't really have a whole lot of potential. You need to be able to take them out, do something to them, and inject them back. So that was the start of all the development of various stem cell therapies and stem cell treatments that you hear about.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Okay. So I'll try to be as objective as possible. No studies have been done to look at them side by side. So until you look at them side by side, then all we can do is speculate with the data that exists. The hard study that we're doing, we have three groups. One group is stem regen. One group is adipose stem cell injection. The other group is a combination of both.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Because we have seen so far that when people do stem cell injection, if they couple it with stem regen, they really boost the outcome of that injection. And so far in the study, it is what we see. We see stem regen just as effective as stem cell injection, but when you combine them together, you get a much better result.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So I would say if you can't afford an injection, you'd be foolish to not add stem regen to it. And if you cannot afford one, stem regen is a really good alternative. Now, let's look at numbers. You get an injection like the one that you're describing, like 50,000. These are normally really robust injections. Let's say 200 million stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
200 million stem cells after an injection, if it's injected systemically, I'm not talking about injection in joints. That's a different kind of injection. injections in these conditions will be far superior because the ability of stem cells to migrate in the joint is not very high. It happens, but it's not very high.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
But if you're talking about systemic injection, you will have about 15% survival, one five. So of those 200 million stem cells, you get about 30 million that will be really effective stem cells. Now you take two capsules of Stem Regen, on average, you release about 10 million of your own stem cells.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So you do this three days in a row and you have released 30 million of your own stem cells for about $15. So somewhere it's a paradigm shift. Sure, sure. And it happened. I don't have a good example that comes to mind, but we have had those things many times. Take your cell phone. Your cell phone right now has more capacity than the computers that put us on the moon.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
These are like vast paradigm shifts. So we discovered stem cells in early 2000. We believe that those in your bone marrow are not really doing the job. So we go and we find them wherever we can pick them up, umbilical cord, placenta, here and there. And then we develop this whole science. And along the way, we discover, oops, the stem cells in your bone marrow actually can do it.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You simply need to stimulate their release and they'll do the job. So you release 10 million stem cells with two capsules. So in our studies, like the heart study, for example, the results that we got in that study when we compare that with what is in the scientific literature with stem cell injection is superior to what has been documented with stem cell injection.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
We didn't do side by side, so I cannot conclude. All I'm saying is that when you compare the results Releasing 10 million stem cells three times a day, every day for six months is given us basically normalization of heart function in so far all the patients.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You know, the athletes you were talking about, referring to, they go and they get an injection. So what I'm really the pioneer of and probably like the number one pioneer is understanding that these stem cells that are in your bone marrow, they actually do the repair in the same way as the stem cells that you inject. So it's just a matter of finding a way to
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So all I can say as a conclusion, if we just extrapolate, the difference to me is that one massive injection one time or lesser number of stem cells every day for long periods of time.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
To me, the opportunity for these stem cells to migrate where they're needed, engraft where they're needed, do their job, ends up over time being superior when you just leverage your own ability to repair.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
I want to be very clear. I don't think the risk is very high for stem cell injection. There are some that are there. They exist. They have happened. We just need to know about them. Versus taking herbal extracts. How did we discover these herbal extracts? We have looked at plants that have been used for centuries for many kinds of benefits.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So if these plants were associated with any kind of side effects, we would not have used them. So the plans that we're using have a long history of safety. So there's no issue with any of the plans that you have in stem regen release. With stem cell injections, here are some of the things that can happen. Stem cell injection, it is rare, but it happens.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And some people trigger what is called like a cytokine storm. It's almost like the inflammatory signal for a moment gets like super amplified. And now it starts to really damage parts of your body. I've heard of this and people get injection in joint, for example. Your joints will improve. And yet the person was for something like three weeks unable to move. It was way worse for a little while.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
These things are seen. I do not know the frequency of them. I would assume it's not a lot. The other thing is that these stem cells are collected. They're not always collected in conditions that make them fully safe. What I mean is that though rare, most of the side effects or a lot of them reported with the FDA has been associated with systemic infection.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Like you get an injection of a sample that has been contaminated. Now you need to deal with an infection. So that is a reality. If you go to a good clinic, it's probably not a real risk. But it just needs to be known. And that's probably why you need to go to a good clinic.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And that's probably why all the mechanism of quality assurance on these stem cells is a part of the cost of why these treatments are expensive. So you want to pay for a good treatment. Things that can happen is, this was more of a fear some time ago, which is the fact that when you get stem cells from somebody that you don't know, these are like umbilical cord stem cells I'm referring to here.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
You get stem cells from an umbilical cord, you don't know who it's coming from. These are screened for various kinds of genetic problems, but when you screen something, you can only screen it for what you know. You cannot screen it for what you don't know. So could there be some sort of genetic material that when you're exposed to, it slowly develops in you a problem, a disease or something?

trigger their release from your own bone marrow so that they can get into the bloodstream. So this concept that I coined, endogenous stem cell mobilization, which means the release of your own stem cells, that modality in terms of tapping into the regenerative power of stem cells, that's what I pioneered from the early days of stem cell research. That's correct.

So it was a potential issue that I've never been really aware. reported, if you want, until about, what, about a year ago. There's a paper that was published. It was in April 2024. And what did it is that they took a human gene encoding for Alzheimer's, so Alzheimer's plaques in the brain.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
They inserted that in the genome of a mouse, and then they took a stem cell from that mouse, injected that into a recipient mouse, and that recipient mouse that received the stem cells developed Alzheimer's. It's the first documentation that a gene that codes for a disease can indeed be transferred through stem cell transfusion.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Now, granted, the reason why I'm saying it's probably not really in humans... that much of a risk is that when you do blood transfusion, stem cells are there in that blood. And a lot of those diseases are not transferred in that way.

So I'm not sure if really the risk is there, but if we just talk about everything, that is something that got a little bit of steam, if you want, in terms of a potential risk. If everything is well done, well controlled for, any kind of stem cell treatment is generally speaking relatively safe. In the medical world that we know, let's put it this way, safer than most drugs that you will take.

My goodness. Well, the book can be found on our website or just on Amazon. You can find the aim of the book in 2010. Now, this is the third edition. So we've had two chapters. The story of how these plants were discovered, all of this was added. Cases, stories that were described, cases of a man, for example, that I talked about on heart transplant lists within a matter of weeks was normal.

So all of that has been added to that last version. The name of that book is that while there is tons of literature documenting that stem cells or the repair system of the body. None of this existed in the literature anywhere brought together to kind of really list all that scientific information and make it like really obvious. So the aim of the book is that.

You want to know what's the natural role of stem cells in your body? That's what the book is telling you. And in that, if you can put more stem cells in circulation, What are the studies showing heart repair, diabetes, brain, lung, and like all the repair, wound, bone fracture, all of this. There's tons of research on it. So that's what the book was really about.

The next book is the link between, and that data, interestingly enough, was not available before. at least not to the extent that it is today at the time of the first book, which is the fact that stem cells are the repair system. But scientists have shown and seen and observed that when you don't have an injury, you're still releasing stem cells.

And in the background, they go and replace the cells that are being lost. We experience aging like an old fence in the backyard. Every year, it's a little bit more decrepit. That's our experience of aging. Every year, we are aging and we feel a little bit older. But in the body, it is not how the body is aging. Each organ in the body is aging much faster.

Like you have a new liver every two, three years. You have a new skin every month. You have a new heart every 25 to 50 years. So every day of your life, you lose cells and they are replaced. So everything is constantly turned over. Turnover means you lose cells, and to keep the health of a tissue, you need to replace these cells that are being lost by stem cells.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So this goes really well until sometime in your 30s, when you have enough stem cells to offset this process of cellular loss. But when the number of stem cells declines and you pass, let's say, 40 years old, now you no longer have enough stem cells to offset cellular loss. So if you start to accumulate a cellular deficit in your pancreas, that is called diabetes.

If you have cellular loss in your lung, that's called emphysema. So you take any kind of age-related disease, and it's always the loss of a type of cells that your stem cells can replace. So we develop all those age-related diseases together. because of the decline in the number of stem cells.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So I published this view about 10, 12 years ago, and I was suggesting that there's a way to see if that is true. Go count the number of stem cells in the bloodstream of people who have developed various kinds of age-related disease and compare that with what you find in the bloodstream of healthy people of the same age. And right now, maybe 50 of studies or so have been done.

So you take people with atherosclerosis, heart disease, overall cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, liver failure, kidney failure, erectile dysfunction, lupus, arthritis, stroke, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, COPD, emphysema, and the list keeps growing. All these people have 50% or less than the number of stem cells that you find in a healthy person of the same age. Meaning the core...
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
fundamental reason why we develop problems is because the number of stem cells is declining in our bloodstream as we age. So I want to describe this whole phenomenon to really make people understand that the decline in the number of stem cells is the fundamental reason. There's hormone decline, there's mitochondrial decline.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
All of this is still real, but fundamentally, if all of this was still right, you still have a decline in stem cells and it will affect your ability to maintain your health as you age. So it's like the most fundamental aspect that will determine how you will age in the decades to come. And I want to do a review of the entire scientific literature to see what is the number, what is the limit?

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
Like if you're below, what's the limit that if you're below that number, you know that right now you are accumulating a deficit. And I think that it's going to be somewhere around one stem cell per microliter.
The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
So if you are less than one stem cell per microliter, something like, let's say six, six to eight million stem cells in your bloodstream today, you are on your path to developing some problems. So let's determine this. So when we have that and we have a means of counting stem cells in the bloodstream, we do, but right now it's difficult to have access to this, it's expensive.

So I'm working on a method that will be super cheap and available for anybody to go and see how many stem cells you have in your blood And now you can put all of this together. You can see how many stem cells I have in my blood. If I'm below a certain level, I know that I'm developing a problem right now.

Episode #22 Featuring STEM CELL EXPERT Christian Drapeau! A CLINIC ON EVERYTHING STEM CELLS! The role of stem cells in repair, how they function, the relationship with inflammation, gut health, mitochondria, pain management, and more!!
And not the remedy, but the way to counter this is put more stem cells in circulation every day. Now it makes it very easy for people to understand the whole phenomenon. So that's the aim of the second book.

My goodness. The moment that I can sit down and write it, I wrote the first book in about two, three months. But it took the, Two years before to do all the research and everything. So the research is done. The research is done, dissected, analyzed. I'm ready to sit down and write. The problem is that in order for me to sit down and write, I have to block everything else.

So everything else in my life needs to, like when I wrote that book, that's all I did. So I need to be in the same situation. And right now, too many lectures, too much traveling. So I'm hoping that at some point at the end of spring, let's say like early in Q3, I'm putting everything aside and I'm diving into that book. That's my hope.

Very, very good analogy. That's what we're doing. We're basically using plants to make your body do something that if you are 40, 50, 60 years old, we're finding a way to make your body do something that it was doing normally in your 20s and 30s when you did not have any of the problem that you have today.

And to a large extent, it's because you had more stem cells when you were younger to help the body repair and more testosterone and many other things. The beauty though, is that they're really kind of all working together. But the bottom line, because testosterone will be like one aspect of your health. When you're talking about stem cells, you're being like one layer deeper.

What your body will do naturally is that within hours of the injury, we can pick up in your blood the release, the secretion of these very specific compounds, very well known to trigger the release of stem cells from the bone marrow. Within about a day or two, you start to see the number of stem cells decrease. increasing in the bloodstream.

By day three to five, your body will have increased the number of stem cells in circulation by up to tenfold. Now, these stem cells don't know exactly where to go, so the affected tissue, starting on the second day, starts to release locally one specific compound that when it touches receptors at the surface of stem cells,

it will trigger the migration of stem cells out of the blood into that tissue. And upon contact with cellular debris of that tissue, the stem cells will start to multiply and transform into cells of that tissue. And to me, what is fascinating about all of this is that This is a process that today, as I'm telling it, appears new.

If you've been even to med school, you will say, well, it's strange that this could be that way because I've not learned this in med school. Because it has not yet crossed fully the gap between research and academia. So it's not yet really. You're not learning this yet in school. But if there's one thing that every single human being on this planet has seen in their own lives,

is that you've had cuts. You've had a bone fracture. You've had sprained ankles. You have things that you know, like they were an injury and you just gave it some time. Nobody did anything. You break a bone. The doctor puts you in a cast. Nothing is done to make that bone repair. But six weeks later, the bone is repaired. And it is not weaker than what it was before.

It's just as solid as what it was before. So we have seen in our lives that the body has this innate ability to repair. It's just that before we had no explanation for it. You get a surgery, the surgeon just say, go rest for two weeks and come and see me back. No instruction is given to you telling you what to do to boost your stem cells because they're the one doing the repair.

We just did not know. Go and rest. And right now what we're discovering is that it's actually your stem cells. Your stem cells are your repair system. They kick into gear and they are the cells that have kept you alive until now and have played the job of repairing any kind of injuries that you've had since the day you were born.

I mean, I'll go one step further. It's a reflection of a phenomenon that is very well documented in the scientific literature, not well studied, but well documented, is that you're born with red marrow that very quickly converts into yellow marrow, fatty marrow. By age 15, you've lost about 50% of your overall red marrow. At some point in your 30s, up to 90% of your red marrow is

And that is reflected by a decline, a corresponding decline in the number of stem cells in circulation. You just don't have as many stem cells in circulation in your 40s that you had when you were 15 or 20. So you cannot recover as fast. You cannot repair as fast. So you go to the gym, you kind of really like trash yourself.

And all these micro traumas, micro lesions will give you pain the day after. And you did not have the same experience when you were 15. You could go play like crazy all day. And the day after you could just go back and play again. You have tons of stem cells to repair overnight.
