Tony Robbins Life Force Regenerative Medicine Review - Dr Chris Centeno

By Chris Centeno, MD - I’ve been getting lots of emails lately about the Tony Robbins book “LifeForce”. It’s always interesting as a physician to get bombarded by patients with what sounds like misinformation, but since you haven’t looked at what’s being said, you’re not sure how to respond. In fact, patients come in with new stuff every day, so medical practice these days is a constant task of looking it all up on the Internet. Hence, I’d like to take a deeper dive into a recent interview with Tony Robbins and his book to see for myself what he’s saying about stem cells . Let’s dig in. What is Life Force? I downloaded Tony’s new book “Life Force” onto my Kindle . It’s 600+ Kindle pages and I’m a busy doctor, so I used it as a cross-reference for an interview a colleague sent me. In Tony’s own words, in the book, he interviewed approximately 150 experts in regenerative medicine and new medical trends. This runs the gamut from stem cell therapy to new ultrasound treatment

When the father’s sperm meets the mother’s egg, a fertilized egg is formed. It continues to divide and by day three to five develops into an embryo consisting of about 150 stem cells in the mother’s uterus. Later, these stem cells in the embryo continue to split and form various tissues and organs in the human body. There are more than two hundred different kinds of cells in the human body, all of which grow from stem cells. ( Mayo Clinic ) Stem cells are not only present at the embryonic development stage. When babies are born, they carry a large number of stem cells within their bodies. The average person has about  37.

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Doesn’t Have to Mean Eventual Blindness

  “Am I going blind?” was the first question I asked my ophthalmologist when I recently went for my annual eye exam. Because I’m older now, she checks me for typical eye conditions related to aging, such as glaucoma and cataracts. Imagine my surprise when she told me that I needed to get another exam, called optical coherence tomography, which maps the entire retina. After returning with photographs of the inside of my eyes, she told me that I had the beginning of age-related  macular degeneration  (AMD). This condition is slow to develop and rarely leads to blindness but is irreversible. I have needed corrective lenses since age 12. Once past puberty, my vision seemed to stabilize. It got worse again as I went through menopause and then stabilized. Without any other vision problems, I was surprised to hear of this recent diagnosis. I needed to know more, so I dug into the latest literature. Here’s what I learned. What Is AMD? Our eyes age along with the rest of our bodies. As we age,
