Exciting Adult Stem Cell Therapy Update

The 4th of July is just around the corner, and we are ready to celebrate. The fireworks that are so much a part of July the 4th remind me of our newest and perhaps most exciting therapy: stem cells.

These cells are harvested from your own fat tissue by liposuction, processed, and infused back into your blood or injected into problem areas such as painful joints. Then they literally jump into action, facilitating pain relief and healing.

We have partnered in this endeavor with Michael Elam, MD, a highly respected plastic surgeon here in Newport Beach, California, whose office is only three miles from Whitaker Wellness. Dr. Elam is very experienced in liposuction and was one of the first surgeons to perform this procedure in the United States. He co-authored the first medical textbook on liposuction and has taught hundreds of physicians how to perform it. He even coined the word liposuction.

The procedure is safe, quick, and comfortable. Dr. Elam uses mild sedation to eliminate any of the discomfort that could occur with local anesthesia alone. Patients simply snooze away during the liposuction procedure while the fat is being removed. The stem cells are then extracted from the fat and processed.

Here at Whitaker Wellness we highly recommend that patients undergo several hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments before and after stem cell therapy. Given before the procedure, hyperbaric oxygen substantially increases the number of stem cells we are able to harvest and put to work for you—anywhere from 1 million to 90 million or more! Hyperbaric oxygen after treatment speeds up recovery time and enhances benefits.

Here are some Whitaker Wellness patients who have had excellent results from this safe, effective therapy.

It got to the point that I could not walk a block without feeling like I was running out of air. It was life changing, because I’m a very active person.

“My wife and I went to the Whitaker Wellness Institute last summer, and my doctor recommended stem cell therapy. I noticed results almost immediately after my treatment. The increase in the influx of oxygen into my lungs was tremendous. Since then, my health has improved extensively because of the fact that I can now receive the oxygen that my body so desperately was in need of. I can now actually run much farther than I was able to walk a year ago.”

“I will sing the praises of the stem cell therapy I received at Whitaker Wellness to anyone who will listen. It has made a vast difference in my life.”

Mel Hudman 1 for eblast 6-18“I began having constant pain in my right hip. I got some relief from a chiropractor, but the pain always returned, whether I was sitting, standing, walking, or lying down. He told me there was no cartilage in my hip—it was bone on bone—and there was really not much he could do.

“It was getting worse every week, so I went to a hip specialist in Tyler, Texas. He gave me three options. (1) Do nothing and be in a wheelchair in two years. (2) Take anti-inflammatories, come back in two years and have a complete hip replacement. (3) Have a hip replacement right then, followed by six months of rehabilitation.

“My father-in-law suggested I look into the Whitaker Wellness Institute for stem cell therapy. After a few phone calls to the clinic, we decided to bite the bullet and try it, and I went to California for the procedure in July 2013.

“Now I can sit, stand, walk, and sleep with absolutely no discomfort. Every once in a while if I take a step wrong, I get a sharp pain in my hip, but it goes away quickly. It’s such a blessing to not be in constant pain and to be able to walk my daughter down aisle at her wedding. I would definitely recommend stem cell therapy to anyone who has been told surgery is the only alternative.“

Mel Hudman, Graham, Texas
