    Hi,

    I had a double lung transplant three and half years ago. About three months before the operation, I got stem cell therapy, which I believe saved my life when I probably got Covid in January of 2020, when we didn’t know it was covid.

    I don’t know if stem cell can help, you would have to talk to a professional about that. Since my operation, I haven’t been sick once. I am vegetarian and I believe that has helped. If you are interested in exploring this, you can contact me and I can put you in contact to the clinic I had mine in.

    best,

    Curt Strickland

    When your 02 goes low like that, it puts a lot of pressure on the other organs of the body, so even though you recover relatively easily, it wears on the other organs. The oxygen will keep you healthier until you can get a lung transplant, which is what happened with me.

    I had stem cell therapy and I believe it was. huge factor in my lung transplant. I received it in the fall of 2019 and after six weeks, I was feeling a lot better. (I had IPF) In January of 2020, my wife probably contacted Covid, not knowing at that time it was covid, and passed it on to me. I deteriorated rapidly but was able to receive new lungs shortly thereafter–it probably saved my life at that time. My stem cell consisted of taking cells from my stomach and injected them through an IV. it was done in Tampa, Florida. i am extremely heathy now.

    HI,

    I KNOW A GUY WHO HAS IPF AND HE’S BEEN JUSING IT FOR AROUND SIX MONTHS, AND HIS BREATHING TESTS HAVE IMPROVED. HE STILL HAS A PROBLEM WITH COUGHING.

    When I was diagnosed with IPF, I sent my diet into overdrive. I was already a vegetarian, but I ramped that up and ate mostly plant based, I also took up yoga. My disease progressed and I got stem cell therapy. I started to notice a difference after about two months. But then my wife probably got covid, January of 2019, before they knew it was covid. She probably passed it on to me and I went downhill fast. Fortunately, I was able to get a double lung transplant and I’m doing great 2 1/2 yers later. But I believe my diet and the stem cell saved my life, and help me recover quickly from my transplant operation when I was 68. You can contact me if you need more information: [email protected]

  • I can’t answer that, but I am wondering about stem cell therapy?  Any information on that?
