EXOSOMES 37: The First Year’s Results
In this blog, I would like to honestly and comprehensively review my first year of clinical usage of exosomes. 12 months ago, I opened my practice up to outside patients only after I had done multiple injections on myself and my mother for a couple of months beforehand.
I will attempt discuss the numbers and types of procedures, the general gestalt, complications, patients that were less than happy with their results, and close with some patient quotes.
Numbers of Procedures
I have treated a total of 89 patients in 144 encounters in 256 different sites.
The sites in descending order of frequency were:
IV (antecubital) -75
Knees – 47 (all but one used hyaluronic acid)
Nasal – 31
Shoulder- 27
Ligaments – 18
Facial -17
Epidural -16
Nerves – 8
Dental -5
Hips -3
Arterial -3
Penile -2
Spinal -2
Fingers -1
There were 26 patients who received injections on different occasions with the most being my mother (11), followed by me (6), then Deb (4), five patients with (3), then seventeen patients with (2).
General Gestalt
Generally speaking the majority of people experienced positive results including many that were unexpected and in multiple or distant areas. I would say that only 10 patients reported no significant benefit yielding an 89% overall positive response rate. I will those patients who reported no benefits and if you don’t recognize your own case, feel free to email me to be added. (I attempted to contact all my previous patients by email or phone)
JP, a 54-yo woman who received IV and shoulder treatment
YM, a 60-yo woman who received IV injections
AA, a 61-yo woman who received IV and lumbar injection
SA, 75-yo man with unilateral knee injection
RL, a 68-yo man who received IV therapy for vascular insufficiency
VC, an 83-yo man who received bilateral knee injections
SF, a 38-yo man who received shoulder injection
WM, a 58-yo man who received nasal injection to attempt to treat a narcoleptic condition
RL, a 72-yo man who received intraspinal injection to attempt to treat post-herpetic neuralgia
SR, a 50-yo man who received IV therapy for severe chronic reactive airways (asthma)
Complications
In the IV treatments, there were six complications, none of which were serious or lasting. The first was my own bronchitis lasting 7 days. There were two near-fainting episodes (JM and SW -both of whom had a history of fainting with blood draws in both), one patient (SL) had epigastric pain c/w pancreatic pain that resolved quickly. One patient (KH) was had an acne outbreak for 3 weeks. One patient (JP) had a macropapular rash on her trunk and legs consistent with an atypical case of Pityriasis Rosea (HHV-6 or 7) that resolved after six weeks during which she also had extreme life stresses.
In the nasal treatment group, there were no reported complications
In the knee treatment group, there were three complications. One patient (EZ) had new onset of neuralgia in the dermatome above the knee, possibly due to central nerve compression from an undiagnosed bone spur. One patient (CY) had aggressive mood after his first injection and moderate pain for a few days after possible intraligamentous injection during his second knee treatment.
In the shoulder treatment group, there were three complications. Mom had a micropapular rash over the treatment area that resolved after a few days and also a URI complicated by loss of smell that resolved after a week. One patient (MC) had increased libido.
Suboptimal results
MC had two shoulder treatments and although mild improvement was noted, it was not enough to stave off shoulder replacement.
BD had bilateral knee injections and although mild improvement was noted, it was not enough to stave off knee replacement.
EO had severe Alzheimer’s and although mild improvement was noted in her vocalizations, she remains severely impaired.
JO had severe kyphoscholiosis and although there was slight improvement flexibility as well as mood and energy, he remains severely impaired.
JP a man with ASIA A T4 Spinal Cord injury who experienced some new sensations as well as involuntary movements although he remains severely affected by the spinal cord injury sequelae.
Positive Results and Take home lessons
I would ask you to read the 36 blogs below to learn some of the results. Nearly every day, I receive more positive feedback that doesn’t make it to the blogs and this has proved very gratifying. I have to warn people to be careful to not induce a new injury in the first three weeks after treatment as that has happened in a couple of cases when people overdid it too soon during the body’s remodeling (VS and AL). Also, as BH showed, if you get significant improvement from one shot, it is highly recommended to repeat a treatment as he went from having a frozen shoulder, to 65% better after the first injection, to 95% after his second with the ability to bench press 315 lbs now!
In general, I would say that IV is well tolerated and can have a variety of effects throughout the body. The nasal procedure (which I believe I am the only one performing right now) is very well tolerated. Knee treatments and ligament treatments have a high satisfaction rate. Microneedling is also well tolerated, effective, and has almost no “down time” unlike the PRP-based “Vampire Facials”. Patients who received lumbar epidural treatment all noted significant reduction in their symptoms as did those who received dental or nerve treatments. Erectile function improved in all cases treated. Finally, arterial treatments appear to improve subjective indications of circulation such as subjective and objective skin temperature.
I close with just a few excerpts from the many calls and emails that I receive. Of course, there is no way of knowing whether exosome treatments played a role in their symptoms and I must reiterate that exosomes are NOT FDA-approved to prevent or treat any medical condition. Exosomes should be administered within the context of a fully-informed and legally-protected patient physician relationship by someone with good judgement and relevant clinical experience.
Following the nasal exosomes, I seem to be much more able to cope with the breadth of responsibilities on my plate.
Over the years I have been experiencing increasing neck pain. My neck was just getting stiffer and stiffer, and sorer and sorer. Since the shots, I’ve notices that while my neck is still somewhat sore, I am turning my head in both directing much further than before when checking before changing lanes. It’s made me a safer driver! “
