Q & A
What is the primary application of stem cell therapy discussed in the script?
-The primary application discussed in the script is the use of stem cell therapy for treating inflamed joints, as well as neurological conditions and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, cerebral palsy, and intellectual disabilities.
How are stem cells typically sourced for treatment according to the script?
-Stem cells can be sourced from a patient's own bone marrow or fat (autologous), or from other sources like umbilical cords (allogenic).
What is the fundamental property of stem cells that makes them useful in medical treatments?
-Stem cells have the ability to multiply and differentiate into any other type of cell in the human body, which is fundamental to their use in medical treatments.
What is the difference between autologous and allogenic stem cells as mentioned in the script?
-Autologous stem cells are taken from the patient's own body, while allogenic stem cells are taken from another person, such as those found in umbilical cords.
Why does the speaker prefer using autologous stem cells over allogenic ones?
-The speaker prefers autologous stem cells because they are fresh, without preservatives, and the patient's body is more likely to accept them without complications.
What is the significance of the speaker's work in the field of stem cell therapy for autism?
-The speaker's work is significant because they published the world's first scientific paper on the role of cell therapy in autism and have treated thousands of patients, leading the way in this field.
How does the speaker describe the increase in autism prevalence over the years according to CDC figures?
-The speaker describes a phenomenal increase in autism prevalence, from one in 160 children 10 years ago to one in 36 children in the present day, based on CDC figures.
What challenges has the speaker faced in promoting stem cell therapy for autism?
-The speaker has faced opposition from various lobbies, including those with economic interests in the status quo, and has been criticized by 400 signatories in the field who are opposed to this work.
What is the role of cerebrospinal fluid in administering stem cell therapy to the brain as per the script?
-Cerebrospinal fluid circulates around the brain and spinal cord. By injecting stem cells into the spinal fluid, they are carried directly to the brain, where damaged areas attract the stem cells for repair.
How does the speaker address the issue of Big Pharma's potential threat due to stem cell therapy?
-The speaker acknowledges that Big Pharma may view stem cell therapy as an existential threat because it could replace the need for certain medications, and shares an anecdote of a doctor being pressured to stop his work on stem cells and diabetes.
What is the speaker's view on the future of stem cell therapy in the mainstream medical field?
-The speaker anticipates that stem cell therapy will eventually take off in the mainstream medical field, despite current resistance, because of its potential to heal in ways that drugs and surgery cannot.

Transcripts
you either use the internet for fun or
you use the internet to grow you're here
to grow welcome to TRS clips
let's take a deep dive into stem cells
yeah
from literally the 101 till whatever it
is in 2023 up till what it's going to
become in 10 years time uh I think only
one or two people on this show out of
500 episodes have ever even brought it
up uh Chris gethin who's a world around
trainer brought it up because he said
that all his information on his tennis
elbows shoulders went down because you
take stem cells and you inject it into
those joints and then there's a
treatment that follows over the course
of one or two days and eventually that
joint heals a lot of my friends even
myself I have been weight training for a
while you do end up getting inflamed
joints so I know that that's one of the
most basic applications and the only
other thing in the word stem cells is
that again please correct me if I'm
wrong they found in babies umbilical
cords and I believe they're found in
your bone marrow that's right am I right
absolutely you extract them from your
own bone marrow stem cells are the cells
that can become any other cell in your
human body very accurate yeah uh it can
also become a nerve cell absolutely but
you you guys only figured out how to
turn it into a nursery in the last five
to ten years longer than that yeah okay
but I mean like application wise
probably in the last five to ten years
which is why I said the market shoe
marketing
uh anyway so you extracted out of your
bone marrow yeah and then I don't know
what happens I don't know what happens
in your lap the story of stem cells is
fascinating okay it's
it's not just
what's happening now it's what the
future is going to be all right
when I was a medical student
what I'm already doing now would come
under science fiction then if in the
1980s we spoke about this it would be
pure science fiction but it's happening
so what exactly are stem cells now in
the world of medicine we have two broad
treatment interventions we have drugs
medicines pills injections okay and we
have surgery you go you cut remove
something suture so there's medicine
there's surgery now
there there are many conditions where
there are no drugs that can help and
there's no surgery that can help
of all of these the most important are
in nervous system diseases because
neurological conditions the the brain
and the nervous system does was believed
to not regenerate so once there was
damage there was no drug you could give
and there was no surgery you could do
now in the but
stem cells are cells which not being a
drug not being surgery
what they do is they repair
damage in the body biologically you know
so it's like imagine if you ever if you
have a cut in your hand how your wound
heals that's a biological healing all
right so stem cells help in biological
healing right not as a drug not as a
surgery but cell to cell interaction
this is the way the body had meant to
heal it's a natural system of healing
now
we have stem cells in different parts of
our body but they take care of the
normal wear and tear so you have a
certain injury Here There and the local
stem cells will help heal it locals
themselves you have stem cells in the
brain your stem cells are on your hair
your stem cells little they're very
small amounts they're just for the local
wear and tear okay
but if there is a severe damage like if
you have
a brain injury you have a spinal cord
injury in adults there are some uh in
adults there are some conditions that
are potentially fatal one such condition
is something called motor neuron disease
something that Stephen Hawking had you
know the famous scientist from from
Cambridge
there's no there was a solution to this
you know these people just died but
because there was no drug and no surgery
but now with the availability of stem
cells we can actually help them but the
really more exciting area the area which
is now in the last few years become my
focus is actually children
because in children there are certain
neurodevelopmental disorders such as
autism a cerebral palsy uh intellectual
disability where the brain from birth
itself okay is not functioning
appropriately and because of that there
are a whole lot of symptoms that because
of which these children cannot lead
independent lives now the thing about
autism and this is something the world
is just not recognizing
you know there is something in the USA
called CDC Center of Disease Control
they are the ones who give all the
statistics on Covert and everything else
they've got the most accurate figures in
the world on disease
and if you just see the figures of covet
10 years ago one in 160 children had
autism okay CDC figures on autism
three years ago it was one in 54
children
two years ago it was last year it was
one in 44. this year it is 1 in 36. okay
so from one from one child out of 160
children having autism 10 years ago to
one in 36.
today is a phenomenal increase at this
rate in the next 20 years every third
child will have autism why is this
happening now that is a million dollar
question because it's got to do a lot
with multiple things they are you know
there are multiple factors there some
very controversial some uh you know not
clear so it's got to do with lifestyle
it's got to do with a whole lot of
things there are some people who said
vaccines are responsible for it but
that's again very controversial it's not
something in the medical we talk much
about there's talk about mobile phone
radiation causing it you know there is
talk about modern diet causing it there
is there is this conversations about you
know people having children later in
life because you know the older you get
if you have children you know the your
child is more likely to have autism so
the causes of autism are many so
biologically speaking what happens in an
autistic brain yeah exactly so this is
something we've done pioneering work on
we were among the first in the world
surprisingly despite the fact that there
is such a high incidence of autism
nobody had really looked deep into the
brains of these children to identify
which parts of the brain are not working
and we actually did this with sir there
is now newer brain Imaging see earlier
we had just CT scan and MRI scans but
now we have something called PET CT scan
positron emission tomography City in
which which shows you which parts of the
brain are working normally which are
working less and which are working more
all right and it's a color scan so it's
easy to you know the green color is
normal blue is working less yellow is
working more
so we have identified that you know you
know these areas the Deep area of the
brain we are talking about the limbic
system the medial temporal lobe and the
small brain the cerebellum we have found
because we have done scans in over 3000
children
with autism and we actually have clearly
identified almost for the first time in
the world which parts of the brain are
not working appropriately in children
with autism and we've published this in
a scientific paper in a world Journal of
nuclear medicine was it the lower brain
the animal brain that was not very
reactive absolutely so that means the
higher brains almost exactly exactly why
this whole angle about autistic kids
being Geniuses exactly wow you know Elon
Musk had awesome do you know that you
Google them Elon Musk had autism as a
kid but this man is the richest man in
the world today and he changed the way
the world thinks because these people
have and I I'm you know I'm so happy you
picked this up because most people don't
pick it up you looked at what positive
they have the whole world is looking at
what they don't have and you know Albert
Einstein and autism you know that okay
and many of many of our big Tech
Geniuses who run some of the biggest
companies in the world they had they
didn't have friends you know a minor
version of autism is something called
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
and then there is learning disabilities
you know some of these people could not
get through college and school they
didn't choose not to whether it's Bill
Gates or Steve Jobs or they didn't
graduate from college but they had a
Brilliance that was different these the
evolution of the human speech exactly
you know this is exactly what I've been
talking about people doing this is the
next step in human evolution because and
how do we know it because when we do the
scans we not only find parts of the
brain which are which are not working
which we sort of anticipated but there
are parts of the brain which are working
more
and we actually found and this is shown
in our published paper that the brains
of children with autism actually start
functioning higher in the earlier years
you know they're functioning more than
what is called neurotypical children and
then they decline so now we don't use
the word normal anymore we say
neurotypical people like you and me are
neurotypical
children with autism and neurodeiverse
there's a there's a change in the
mindset that you know just like somebody
can be tall somebody can be short
somebody can be fresh somebody can be
dark somebody can have a brain that is
like what we have and somebody can have
a brain like a person with autism so we
use the word neurotypical neurodiverse
but normal kids actually start off lower
but then proceed to grow so what we
found
is that when we give these children
cell or stem cell therapy
that blue part of the brain which was
the blue it's not actually blue it's on
the scan appears blue it's called hyper
metabolic that's brain that's little
less active functioning less that this
gets activated this gets repaired and
this becomes functional and once it
becomes functional these children don't
just start leading what is called normal
lives they all have something peculiar
different unique to give to the world
in which they completely Excel things
which are unimaginable things that you
and I cannot even imagine
now start functioning so first you know
go back to your question how do stem
cells work so you answer it yourself the
first thing about stem cells is that
when the stem cells of the ability to
multiply okay and when they divide
they make a copy of themselves another
stem cell but they also become any other
cell of the body depending on where you
put it so if I take a stem cell and I
put it in the in the nervous system
it'll become a nervous cell if I put it
in the muscles it'll become a muscle
cell so depending on where you put it
it becomes that so this amazing property
of converting into other cell types okay
and the ability to multiply along with
that what they do is they release
certain positive chemicals in the body
called growth factors these help in the
healing process they also attract fresh
blood tourism called angiogenesis this
combination of being able to multiply to
divide to release growth factors to get
fresh blood they reduce the inflammation
the body they modulate the immune system
there are several mechanisms basically
this helps repair what is
non-functioning and once you and there
isn't there's no drug that can do it
there's no surgery they can do it now
you mentioned about bone marrow and
umbilical cord so I just want to clarify
that broadly speaking cell or stem cells
are of two types what is autologous that
means when you take from the body so
from the body you can take either from
the bone or you can take from the fat
these are two areas from which you can
actually get stem cells
then there are stem cells which you take
from now so autologous is you take from
your own bone and put it back in the
body
allogenic is when you take from somebody
else okay so for example the umbilical
cord that connects the mother and baby
at birth this is very rich with stem
cells so there are companies that go and
collect this normally this is thrown in
the garbage
in some children nowadays in fact most
the children they actually save it you
know so if you save it you can use it in
the future for the same child but the
other companies that collect it from
everywhere and they package it and it's
available as a as a package sort of
umbilical cord thing so this is somebody
else's cells and then your own cells you
know we don't use the package umbilical
cord because I believe your own cells
are much better than somebody else's
cells on your body for your body because
one their own cells or body will accept
it too it's fresh there's no
preservative you know you just take what
we do is we take from the bone marrow we
filter it we run it through machines
called centrifuges isolate the stem
cells and when the few hours put it back
whereas those are preserved they belong
to somebody else they are cry or Frozen
and they add a preservative so if I ask
you which is better take an orange and
make fresh orange juice or have a canned
orange juice you know fresh orange juice
is better so that's the difference
between umbilical cord and what we do
that is autologous now the thing about
autism is that once you repair you know
and so and the other thing very
important
what we do autologous we can inject it
in the spinal fluid so you know our
brain uh it continues doubt as the
spinal cord and surrounding the brain
there is a fluid called cerebrospinal
fluid it's a fluid that circulates can
you know it's continuously circulating
so what we do is with a little needle
prick we inject it into the lower back
into the fluid because this fluid
carries it to the brain and when it goes
to the brain the part of the brain
that's not functioning properly or
that's damaged it pulls the stem cells
towards it automatically automatically
the normal brain doesn't it's like you
know let's say you are hungry and I've
just had food and you know somebody
comes in with food what's going to
happen you're going to make a grab for
it I'm full I won't take it so the body
is like that you know the body tissues
are they're not greedy the the parts
that don't want it will not pull the
stem cells but the damage parts will
and there's a lot of research to show
that the stem cells home in uh to the
damaged area actually uh has the stem
cells come to them
so we inject it in the spinal fluid so
it goes directly to the brain now the
umbilical cord cells because they have a
preservative you cannot inject it in the
spinal fluid you have to give it
intravenously like an injection now when
you do that it goes from there to the
heart then to the lungs from the lungs
back to the heart and then the heart
sends it to the brain so there's a long
journey in fact a lot of these stem
cells get trapped in the lungs so for
the first time in medical history you
know there is now a solution for autism
which is affecting one out of 36
children in America in India the figures
are about one in hundred but I think
that's because
we aren't picking up enough I mean the
documentation is not so so solid and
concrete actually I think the incidence
is much more why why do you think it's
much more no I'll be much more official
than India okay no no the official
figures for India is one in 100 official
figures for America's one in 36. I think
because they are more they document more
properly here a lot of kids in The
Villages and all that it will not get
diagnosed now what is you know what is a
matter of great pride for me like
serious pride is that the world's first
scientific PubMed index paper on the
role of cell therapy in autism is
published by us okay the world's first
paper the second paper came from China
the third from Italy the fourth and
fifth came from Duke University America
now that is something nobody can take
away they can only be one person who
climbs Mount Everest first or one person
who lands on the moon first
everybody else follows so now all the
papers on cell therapy or stem cell
therapy in autism have to cite us
because we are the first to publish and
when I say when I say the world's first
paper I never say I publish the world's
first paper although I'm saying it to
you I always say the world's first paper
on Cell Therapy in autism came from
India
this is a matter of Pride for me that
our country published the world's first
paper on something new and completely
Innovative after that we have
a total of 15 other papers on Cell
Therapy in autism and uh a second one
after that was published in a very
prestigious Journal you know all are
published in very prestigious journals
and we have a total of 106 scientific
papers which is the largest in the world
so this is an area where our country is
leading the way you know not just me is
our country there are a lot of
foreigners actually come to India for
stem cells yes I have treated patients
from 75 different countries 75. do they
basically come here because it's more
budget-friendly uh they're coming
because it's not available there our
results are better and also because yeah
of course it's a little more budget
friendly but you have to understand
people travel 20 hours we I get patients
every week you know I get patients
coming from America and Australia from
England they fly 15 20 hours to come
here okay so firstly this treatment is
not available everywhere else it's not
available as free you know the way it is
here because a lot of the western world
hasn't accepted why
okay so there's a there's a long story
behind it what happens is that um
in 2000 around 2001 President George
Bush he had banned uh embryonic stem
cells you know so okay to explain to you
we do from the bone marrow but you can
also get stem cells from the embryo you
know uh you know you have test tube
babies you have IVF you should be
familiar with IVF so in that you have
what is called spare embryos okay that
are you so you can actually make stem
cells from that as well now as you are
aware the you know on the Roman Catholic
Church doesn't permit abortion of family
planning in fact in America there's a
law the Supreme Court actually you know
create I think passed something about
abortion so abortion in many states are
not allowed that is because the
Christian thinking is Life Starts at
conception when the sperm and egg come
together Life Starts so anything you do
after that you are killing a living
person so that's the whole family
planning abortion debate
in the Western World George Bush the
player had banned Federal funding he
said the government will not pay for
research for embryonic stem cell but
people's hearing is let me know they
what people remember George Bush banned
stem cells he didn't ban stem cells he
banned Federal funding he said
government will not pay for research for
embryonic stem cells
again what most people don't remember is
when Obama became president one of his
earliest executive decisions was to lift
that ban okay now we are not using that
okay that is like you know the whole
mistake the whole mess is right now it's
like beverages beverages has got alcohol
it's got canned juice you know Pepsi
Coke Etc and he's got homemade orange
juice they're all Beverages and what
you're doing is you're taking something
for alcohol and implying it for homemade
orange juice there's no connection
that's the mistake there so what
happened because of that in the western
world in America England Canada
this all over Europe This therapy did
not develop it developed in India China
Korea and Japan we four countries are
the leaders India China Korea and Japan
we are way ahead of the West now the
West you know they just can't accept it
I mean because we are pioneering we have
done I've done close to 13 000 patients
already in the last 15 years you know
they are just starting you know at their
at some of their facilities they're just
starting to do the work in Medical
Careers experience plays a huge absolute
role yeah so that is happening and the
problem is not just that they are doing
it our own doctors we have what I call
and I say it openly normally we have
what is called a colonial hangover so
when somebody with a white skin an
attack from Harvard Stanford Oxford
comes and says Well everybody's blah
blah blah blah they are praising him
doing the Arty you know but when the
same thing comes from Asia or India they
don't have the same respect for it so I
call it Colonial hangover you know it
really is like that we are pioneers the
world is following what we are doing we
are being quoted when patients go to
doctors from there they are actually
being told to come here also I'm
assuming that in the long term if stem
cell therapy really takes off in the
mainstream which I anticipate that it
will it is it's almost it is it will
affect big Pharma badly or you know
you're brilliant here because this is so
you know you're you're touching the key
points one of the reasons that I was
going to mention about it that's stem
cell therapy hasn't taken off it doesn't
have backing from Big Pharma in fact a
very senior executive from a
multinational company told me says Dr
Sharma you are an existential threat to
us I said like what so he said that if
you make everybody okay who will take
her medicines um I'll give you the big
medical companies I mean little big
medicine companies they don't want stem
cells to take he used that word
existential threat I mean that's huge
I'll give you an example I have a friend
of mine in Jordan
uh and we have a meeting all our stem
cell therapy doctors in Europe once a
year we meet in different parts of the
world and three years ago we met in
America and he were actually standing on
the stage in front of hundreds of us and
actually big tall tough guy and was in
tears you know you know the story told
us this guy was using stem cells to
reverse diabetes and I've been to Jordan
I've met his patients he was completely
reverse diabetes completely okay people
on insulin off he said and he said put
publicly in front of all of us that he
was threatened by the company's
manufacturing insulin because it's a
trillion dollar not directly but wires
you know why and he was told either you
stop
your work on Diabetes will let you
continue your other work or we will shut
you down completely and he said I had to
shut down okay now he's saying this
publicly all right because that
insurance a trillion dollar industry
they cannot have that be replaced so
here is somebody from Jordan telling me
that he had to stop his work on stem
cells and diabetes because
now for I'm not being you know
threatened but yes I have been
attacked really I've been seriously
attacked you know they've made so much
efforts in fact 400 I'm saying it
publicly 400.
400 people
in this field in the field of autism
have got together and I'm not saying it
they gave an article in times of India
saying we are 400 signatories they are
opposed to this work why because there
is an entire economy that sustains on
these kids never getting okay let's say
you're running a rehabilitation center
and these kids are coming you know a
child cannot talk he comes to you for a
lifetime of speech therapy I treat him
he starts talking he stops coming to you
so your business is directly affected so
there's this very strong Lobby that is
making all-out attempts to shut me down
okay but we got our results and it made
attempts they were unsuccessful and who
stood by us our patients when people
made these attempts our patience stood
up you know they signed petition they
went on petition.org they wrote to the
Prime Minister help Minister and
commissioner and it was flooded with
support for us So eventually what
matters is people if the parents of
children who have improved are standing
up and talking for us
that's real okay because no pen is going
to support something that has not work
for his child whenever you do anything
Innovative whenever you do anything
different you challenge the status quo
there is an established business model
of people who are who are sustaining on
something not happening okay I want to
threaten that they are going to rise up
and and speak about you and the real
pity is that all these people none of
these people
this should come in if you're if you say
you're working in this field and there
are people coming from all over the
world here
they've not even once come and asked me
okay to share our results talk to us you
know speak to us in fact you know I mean
at least you should be wanting to learn
and know what is going on no there's
just an opposition so anything new that
anybody does there will be resistance
there will be opposition people will try
to shut you down but you just have to
believe you have to believe in yourself
to believe in your work and most
important you have to you know it's the
people who are who are improving that
become your support and your structure
so we have completely changed the
thinking in the in the field of autism
and neurodevelopmental disorders from
nothing can be done to the fact that we
can almost not just completely reverse
it but when you reverse it these kids
not just go back to Independence you
start seeing the special abilities in
them so the special abilities thing is
something I want to Deep dive in but
first I want to put forward a hypothesis
and correct me if I'm wrong medically
um you spoke about how traditionally
speaking when a child is autistic
initially in his or her life the growth
of the brain and the functioning of the
brain is great greater than the average
kid and then there's like a dip yes
that's the traditional way that things
work do you think that that dip could be
happening because of the medication
given to the kid
there could be medications there are
lots of theories about it it could be
lifestyle diet stresses you know there
are there are a million causes as to why
uh there are some some people talk of
genetics a small percentage 15 to 20
percent okay there's a genetic
background but a majority of it is
lifestyle sometimes during the birth
process
like you know if the birth that's why
the role of gynecologist is just so
important because if there's a little
hypoxia
you know less of oxygen to the the brain
of the child when the child is being
delivered that can cause
um the kind of uh brain damage that we
are seeing now in autism so there can
there could be many reasons nucleus
