Disc issues are a pain (pun intended), fear not, take a serious peak at regenexx.com they use you're own blood platelets and, or stem cells. Having taken a few biff's over the years, I've successfully used them for ACL repair (5 doctors said the only option was surgery), disc bulges, shoulder and wobbly ankle type stuff. I've been to the doctors only twice in the past 12 year's, both times for vaccine's only, so you can imagine that I did not walk through Regenexx's door on a whim. Although I've no social network footprint (neanderthal), there was no hesitation when asked if I'd appear in a testimonial video for the ProActive section of their website. Both physically and, cost effective, this is one of the good direction's the medical world is moving in. Dr Centeno has written some book's 'The Spine Owners Manual' may be of special interest to Mrs Treacy, all free download's. 

For exorcise...Dr Kelly Starrett is turning the longevity of movement in physical activity on it's head. He's written book's too and, has a plethora of YouTube material, for efficiency just type in his name and the body part that interests you. 

Changing tack, two weeks ago I tuned in to one of your 'comment of the day' following a break of some three/four years or so and was mightily impressed by the delivery and quality of information. Having attended your first Chart Seminar, it was very nice to hear once more your insight's delivered with the occasional colloqualism to keep it real in your delightful Irish lilt. One throw away...'overall' appears to be a keen favourite word, a week last Sunday it was used 41 times during a 56ish minute presentation, the previous Thursday 14 times in 23 minutes. This is not a bad thing per se, I just wondered if you are aware of it. Eoin, you and David have played lead roles in teaching me a whole new language over the past years, seriously, so I very much hope you will at worst have a chuckle. Good health to you and yours, The fun continues,

 

Eoin Treacy's view

Thank you for this informative email and I remember you well from The Chart Seminar almost a decade ago. I trust Monaco will always be Monaco regardless of what currency one might be using.  I’m delighted you are tuning back into the audios/videos and enjoying them. I can only smile and feel grateful that you are so attentive as to count my overall use of the word overall in what are wholly unscripted broadcasts. In what is generally a stream of consciousness I am occasionally aware of overly using a word but with the hurdles of kinda, sorta, overall, now then and the occasional colloquialism I am glad the message is getting through. 

I’ll certainly look into Regenexx. It is a further testament to the fact stem cell research is increasingly reaching commercialisation. The promise of a more holistic individualised approach to medicine is closer to reality than ever before. While there are certainly challenges and the pace of delivery is not as fast as we might wish progress is definitely being made. Regenexx is a privately held company and therefore closely held. 

A great deal of research is ongoing in the stem cell sector and much of that takes place outside the USA and Europe where ethical considerations dominate headlines. Nevertheless that has forced innovation in how stem cells can be harvested from adults which is encouraging and opens up potential for much faster growth in future. 


BioTime and its separately listed subsidiary Asterias Biotherapeutics have both held progressions of higher reaction lows for much of this year and will need to hold above their respective trend means if potential for continued higher to lateral ranging is to be given the benefit of the doubt.
