You’ve already heard of “PRP” therapy, widely used in orthopedic procedures to enhance healing, as well as for various applications in facial rejuvenation. This treatment protocol takes this further by:

• Much Higher Dose: 120-200 ml of blood is used as compared to the normal 25 ml, thereby increasing the number of platelets. The PRP from this higher amount of blood is then collected.
• Light Activation: Laser and LED light activation at specific wavelengths releases the growth factors and cytokines needed for repair and rejuvenation in a process that lyses (breaks up) the platelets yielding their contents.
• Intravenous Administration: Unlike nearly all other PRP treatments which are administered locally to some part of the body, the solution containing the growth factors and cytokines is administered intravenously back to the patient.

The procedure, which takes about an hour, is based upon the original research report by Walter P. Drake and Laurence V. Hicks Sr.: “2023: High Dose Light Activated PRP the New Stem Cell Therapy”. This paper materially advanced the stem cell field by showing that all of the important growth factors attributable to the success with stem cell transplants were contained within platelets, and hence upon fractionating the platelets with light activation, one could essentially obtain the same benefits observed with stem cell therapy without the need to use any stem cells.

Your blood is collected and processed in a closed sterile system to avoid contamination. Your platelets are separated from the blood by centrifugation, yielding a concentrated mixture of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This PRP is then activated for 8-10 minutes with a specialized light source using four wavelengths: 630 nm, 663 nm, 805 nm, and 855 nm. This process releases numerous growth factors and other critical molecules, which are then re-injected intravenously to stimulate your body’s innate stem cell repair mechanisms.

PRP processing takes place in a closed sterile system, minimizing any contamination risk. FDA-approved sterile kits are used—one brand new kit for each patient.

During centrifugation, the entire collection apparatus remains enclosed. After spinning, the concentrated platelets are withdrawn with a sterile syringe and placed into the light box. At no point is your plasma exposed to room air or handled outside the closed system.

In North Carolina, any healthcare provider with prescription authority can authorize high-dose PRP intravenous therapy. This includes physicians, Physician Assistants (PA), and Nurse Practitioners (NP). The procedure may also be administered by others under appropriate supervision.

The limited availability of intravenous PRP therapy is often due to lack of awareness among providers, absence of proper equipment like a centrifuge and light box, and total absence of insurance coverage.

As your Medical Consultant, I can either talk to your regular health care provider if you have one, or at your option, I can work with various health professionals in the area to co-ordinate your therapy.

Yes. In North Carolina, PRP therapy is legal when authorized by a healthcare provider with prescription authority, typically for chronic conditions. There are no federal laws banning stem cell therapies in the United States.

While intravenous PRP is less common, localized PRP injections are widely performed in orthopedic and pain clinics. The FDA has approved several kits for PRP collection and administration.

Example: PRP therapy at Catawba Valley Health System.

More and more research reports are building up to demonstrate the beneficial effects of this treatment on:

• Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders: Lupus; Hashimoto’s thyroiditis; Rheumatoid arthritis; Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Chronic Infections and Immune Dysregulation: Chronic Lyme disease; Long COVID; Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
• Post-Viral or Post-Vaccine Syndromes: Neuropathy; Fatigue; Brain fog; Cardiovascular inflammation
• Neurological Disorders: Multiple sclerosis (MS); Parkinson’s disease; Post-concussion syndrome; Nerve regeneration support
• Other Areas: Chronic pain; Wound healing

Unfortunately, stem cell therapy and most PRP therapy is considered experimental by medical insurance companies and is not typically covered.

This is an expensive procedure that is reserved for really serious conditions and diseases. You can come here when everything else has failed. No stem cell therapy is effective with cancer, and you will need blood testing to determine your status. It is assumed that patients have already undergone blood testing and other medical evaluations leading to a diagnosis before applying for this treatment.

The cost is $1500, and includes the entire treatment protocol.

I am happy to provide a free email consultation on your suitability for this therapy. As a Medical Consultant, I do not charge you anything to tell you if this procedure is likely to help, or to review the completeness of your medical record and diagnosis.

And if we find that the treatment did not yield any beneficial results based on whatever applicable testing may be pertinent to your condition, I will return your payment. I am here to help people, not take their money. Which is why I would select patients carefully based on whether or not the medical literature indicates a favorable result with their condition.

We do not advocate multiple injection requirements. If a diabetic wound can be healed in 2 weeks, you do not need to be waiting around a long time to know if you benefitted from the therapy. The growth factors and cytokines released from light activated platelets are believed to begin stimulating innate stem cells and repair metabolism immediately, with a relatively long curve of heightened activated stem cell effects.

Improvement of a chronic condition is normally observed within a week or two, with increased benefit over time as a cascade of beneficial results ensues. For genetic diseases, any stem cell therapy would have to be repeated every 1-2 years to maintain a beneficial result, as the defective genetic machinery continues to produce faulty cells.
