ONE HECTIC WEEKEND: MIAMI TO SAO PAULO TO LOS ANGELES

Once in a while I like to write a blog that is not all science! I must say that I was initially a bit intimated by my schedule.

I left Miami on Thursday evening, arriving in Sao Paulo 8 hours later on Friday morning.

Interestingly, there were a number people that I knew at the meeting.  I have taught in Brazil on numerous occasions.  I will return in October to teach a course.  I received a warm Brazilian welcome.  I was very impressed by the quality of the meeting and the speakers.  I felt honored to be one of the Keynote speakers.

My talk was an interesting one.  I discussed Stem Cell Aging Pathways.  As I have said “how Stem cells age is how we age” In my journey thru the world of Regenerative Medicine I have become convinced that these pathways may be the Holy Grail for Anti-Aging methods.  These pathways are what I call the upstream causes of aging.  If we correct these problems in the pathways we will affect downstream problems.  One pathway I stressed was the Sirtuin Gene pathway.  I discussed its dependence upon the supplement NAD and other methods of stimulating this pathway.  I mentioned our experiences with Intravenous NAD and one of our secrete weapons which is the NAD kinase patch.  I received a number of questions from the audience. One exciting aspect of the talk involved the introduction of some brand-new technology.  Actually, I have used this technology for years.  This technology involves transdermal patches which introduce signaling molecules to spine, tendons and joints.  These are called P3 AI and P3 R patches.  The name for this technology is SIGMOLECS.   This will be a quantum leap for many regenerative physicians. They now have technology that we have utilized for years.  These patches are now registered with the FDA.  Below is a picture of the packaging of the patches.

I suspect this will become an integral aspect of most regenerative procedures.  Signaling molecules tell cells what to do and when to do it.  This is essentially the basis of a PRP preparation and a branch of medicine called Cytokine Therapy.

This technology seemed to be well received by the audience.   Unfortunately, my time in Sao Paulo was very limited and later that afternoon I found myself in another 2-hour traffic jam on my way back to the airport facing my second night in a row on an airplane.

After a 12-hour plane ride I arrived in Beverly Hills California where the Cell Surgical International Conference was being held.

My lecture this time concerned the nuts and bolts of Regenerative Medicine as it pertains to stem cells.  I stressed the basic science but put a twist on it to show how if one knows the basic science he then has the intellectual tools to make procedures better. This is the essence of a new field of medicine called Translational Medicine.  Translational Medicine is a rapidly growing discipline in biomedical research and aims to expedite the discovery of new diagnostic tools and treatments by using a multi-disciplinary, highly collaborative, “bench-to-bedside” approach.  The lecture was a whirlwind of slides.  I showed how the immune system and the stem cells are so intimately related.  Hopefully I opened up a few eyes on these topics.  There were many different topics covered in the meeting all of which were engrossing.  Some of the topics covered musculoskeletal conditions while other dealt with neurological conditions.

One of my friends, Dr. Nathan Bryant, who is a world leading expert in Nitric Oxide medicine gave a great slide that reminds me of my journey in Regenerative Medicine.  It is as follows

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” 

– Arthur Schopenhauer

I always learn something from a meeting that I lecture at.  At this meeting I met many old friends and some new ones.

My staff from the Cayman Islands attended the meeting:

All-in-all, it was a hectic weekend but it was rewarding on many different levels.  I enjoy teaching and the comradery of the meetings.

BTW people are asking me if I had Jet Lag.  The answer is a resounding, “no.”  By using my laser watch, jet lag is never an issue for me.  The laser wrist watch helps my body produce various compounds which helps my body fight jet lag.

Thanks, – Dr. P
