THANK YOU to the 33 interested parties who attended Dr. Bunyak’s talk on PRP and stem cell myths and research on July 29. Perhaps half of the audience consisted of current patients and Dr. B. was touched that they made time in their lives to support her.

Published in March, the study is the culmination of years of work…

A recent patient canceled his knee surgery appointment based on his very positive response to PRP therapy. In his words, “Why jump off the bridge (and get surgery) when you can heal and walk across it?!”

Today through Saturday, she’s attending the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine’s symposium on bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.

Last week, Science Daily reported on a German Cancer Research Center study (Nature, 2015) to note that, “Environmental stress is a major factor in driving DNA damage in adult hematopoietic stem cells, researchers have found, concluding that a good night’s sleep keeps your stem cells ‘young.’” The attached photo shows healthy bone marrow packed with…

The other day, a former patient (now 86 years young) visited the office to thank Dr. Bunyak for her past successful treatment. As her thank you note states, “You restored my life for giving me a pain-free future. I danced (tap) ’til age 82.” Her visit made Dr. Bunyak’s day.

“Happy, healthy new year to everyone! I’m excited to be in the office this week after a few days off with my family. We stayed local here in Encinitas/Cardiff–it’s hard to go anywhere else when it’s so beautiful. And this week I’m doing multiple platelet rich plasma and prolotherapy injections, and even a stem cell…

While the U.S. typically leads in technology innovation, the rest of the world often outpaces us in the approval of medical therapies. For example, the EU has just approved the first stem cell therapy for wide medical use. http://www.bbc.com/news/health-30550113
