KINESIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS: VSELs TREATMENT PROGRESS EXPLAINED
By: Matthew Einsohn, ND
This might seem like a small thing, but it's actually a big deal. When you're sitting, lifting your leg involves working against gravity, which is already challenging. But when you're lying down, it requires a whole different set of muscles and coordination. It means engaging not just the hip flexors but also the core and stabilizing muscles of the lower back and pelvis. This shows his overall muscle function and coordination have significantly improved.
Without the help of gravity, his core muscles have to work even harder to stabilize and support the movement. This improvement in core strength is great news. Plus, this movement indicates improved flexibility and range of motion, likely due to decreased muscle stiffness and better neuromuscular control.
Being able to perform this movement both sitting and lying down means his nervous system and muscles are working together more effectively. This is crucial for overall mobility and daily activities.
When Dr. Blatman is discussing the origins of pain, which is associated with sheer force and pressure, it appears that stabilization has been achieved. Based on watching the video (above) several times, I would theorize that significant restoration is occurring. It seems he has addressed the root cause of the pain by restoring the integrity of the fascia.
Additionally, while there is a notion that one can make injuries less noticeable, this approach does not seem to align with his method. Instead, if he is indeed focusing on restoring the integrity of the fascia, it suggests that he is addressing the fundamental issue underlying the pain rather than merely masking the symptoms.
Some conditions just this mechanism can help with:
* Muscle weakness and atrophy from post-stroke rehabilitation or muscle degenerative diseases
* Neurological disorders such as MS or Parkinson's
* Recovery from spinal injuries
* Any chronic pain such as Fibromyalgia
* Anyone with joint or mobility problems
Muscle Weakness and Atrophy: Conditions causing muscle weakness or atrophy, such as post-stroke rehabilitation or muscle degenerative diseases, might see improvements in strength and coordination with similar treatments.
Neurological Disorders: Disorders like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, where muscle control and coordination are affected, could benefit from enhanced muscle function and coordination.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Recovery from surgeries, especially orthopedic or spinal surgeries, could be supported by treatments that improve muscle strength, flexibility, and functional movement.
Chronic Pain Conditions: Conditions like fibromyalgia or chronic back pain that involve muscular and structural issues might see relief through better muscle engagement and reduced stiffness.
Balance and Stability Issues: Treatments that enhance core strength and overall muscle coordination can help with balance and stability, which is crucial for individuals with vertigo or balance disorders.
Joint and Mobility Problems: For conditions like arthritis or other joint issues, improving range of motion and muscle strength can reduce pain and enhance mobility.
Sports Injuries: Athletes recovering from injuries might benefit from improved muscle function and coordination, aiding in a quicker and more effective recovery.
THE BACK STORY:
VSELs by definition are Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem cells. They are rare stem cells found in adult tissues that may have potential in regenerative medicine. They are slightly smaller than red blood cells and are located in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst during early development. VSELs are quiescent but can be activated during stress and mobilized into peripheral blood. They have a distinct morphology with a high nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio and undifferentiated chromatin. VSELs also express markers of pluripotent stem cells, such as Oct4, Nanog, and SSEA, and markers of primordial germ cells (PGCs), which suggests they may be related to PGCs.

PROCEDURE REPORT: DR. BLATMAN'S TRANSCRIPT ON DR. BARD'S VSELs TREATMENT DAY 1
Dr. Bard and I started the procedure with a deep discussion, making sure we had his wish list and an understanding of what he was specifically wanting and trying to get better. By the time we proceeded, we drew eight tubes of blood, we spun it down, and concentrated his plasma. And then we lasered that plasma and prepared the VSELs out of the solution, activating dormant, very small embryonic like stem cells from his blood -dormant since his birth. And then we prepared them for injection into him. We used eight syringes of these VSELs to inject specific parts of him. There were tendons anchoring his right quadriceps. There were tendons anchoring both of his butt muscles. There were muscles and tendons anchoring the end of his quadriceps that help him control his knee whose weakness brings him knee pain.
I'm hoping to see if this technology could reactivate some of the nerves that were damaged from the polio, because when polio damages nerves, it doesn't interrupt or cut them. They're still there, they just don't work. So we're hoping that they're still there enough that we can coax them to work or coax them to health. And we don't know if there's a chance to do that or not, because to the best of my knowledge, this has never been done before (with Post-Polio syndrome). So we are the first ones I would think, to use VSELs in polio for the regeneration of the nervous system and to see if it would work.
When we inject into joints, you can see the cartilage vertical dimension increase. When you inject into rotator cuff tendon, you can subsequently see with ultrasound that the tendon defect filled in. You can also see it on MRI that the defect in the tendon filled in.
We have some patients with Parkinson's in the treatment group from this laser that have shown improvement in 30 minutes. So it can happen pretty quickly. It can also take two or three months before you see a change. You never know.

"THE BLATMAN METHOD"
Over the course of more than 30 years in clinical practice Dr. Blatman has developed The Blatman Method – a well published strategy for Understanding and Treating Pain. This method is based on 5 rules:
1. You cannot believe pain comes from where you feel it. Your headache does not come from your head, blood vessels or nerves. Pain in your left arm could be a heart attack, and knee pain does not come from the joint, evidenced by persistent knee pain long after joint replacement surgery.
2. It is not important to distinguish what you think the pain feels like. In fact, your brain cannot tell the difference between sharp, dull, achy, stabbing, numbness, tingling, burning, and more. They all can have the same cause.
3. The only thing you can really believe is what you can touch and feel, and where you are specifically tender, millimeter by millimeter, is where your fascia is kinked or tied in a knot, or where your fascia anchors to hold you together and you have injured and repaired this hundreds of times.
4. If you are examined this way looking for where you are tender from head to toe, the places where you are overall most tender represent the kinks and injuries from your lifetime that generate most of the pain of which you are conscious.
5. No matter how long you have had the pain, and no matter what you have been told is your diagnosis – as quickly as you unkink your fascia and get your body to regrow and strengthen to hold together better on the inside – the pain you had will already be gone.
REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Dr. Blatman has been helping people recover and restore worn joints and avoid joint replacement surgery for more than 30 years. His patients have seen great success with regenerative and holistic therapies for pain. Regenerative medicine therapies include Peptide therapy, Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) Therapy, Stem Cell Therapy, exosome treatments, and vSEL Therapy.
Painful and degenerative joints aren’t nearly the only applications of regenerative medicine:
• Tendon repair – Rather than cutting and anchoring injured tendons with surgical repair, regenerative techniques involve reinjuring the tendon with a needle surgery technique and injecting growth factors that facilitate biologic repair of the tendon.
• Ligament repair – Rather than cutting and anchoring injured ligaments with surgical repair, regenerative techniques involve reinjuring the ligament with a needle surgery technique and injecting growth factors that facilitate biologic repair of the ligament
• Joint cartilage restoration – Rather than replace a worn joint via invasive surgery, use the idea that our bodies restore cartilage from daily wear and tear minute by minute, and enhance this process with glucosamine, peptides, PRP, and stem cells.
• Sexual dysfunction treatment – Regenerative medicine techniques may involve injecting growth factors (PRP/stem cells) into intimate areas to regenerate blood vessels and nerves that bring improvement with engorgement and sensation.
• Pelvic floor repair – Growth factor injection and radiofrequency treatments can reduce urinary stress incontinence in women by aiding in repairing and strengthening the pelvic floor and associated muscles.
• Pelvic pain recovery – Regenerative treatments can be used in addition to physical therapy to facilitate repair of fascia that anchors pelvic, gluteal, and thigh muscles. This includes chronic pain generally attributed to the pudendal nerve.
• Heart repair – When heart function has been lost from injuries like ablation and heart attacks, laser-activated and SONG modulated laser-guided vSELS (very small embryonic-like stem cells) can restore heart function and have even gotten people off the heart transplant list.
• Lung repair – Stem cell therapies have been used for more than 10 years to help restore lung tissue and function in people with degenerative lung conditions like COPD and emphysema.
• Neurorehabilitation – Part of our treatment for neurological disorders includes peptides and IV injections of laser activated and laser guided vSELS (very small embryonic like stem cells). We have seen improvements in people with MS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.
BIO & BACKGROUND:
HAL BLATMAN, MD, DAAPM, ABIHM
Dr. Blatman is a nationally recognized specialist in treating myofascial pain. He is credentialed in Pain Management and Board Certified in Occupational and Environmental Medicine and in Integrative Medicine. Dr. Blatman is a Past-President of the American Holistic Medical Association. After receiving his medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1980, Dr. Blatman completed two years of training in orthopedic surgery. He later studied clinical toxicology and ergonomics during his residency in Occupational and Environmental Medicine at the University of Cincinnati Hospital. For several years, Dr. Blatman practiced family medicine while managing a chain of urgent care facilities. During Dr. Blatman’s tenure in general medicine, he recognized standard of care medicine’s difficulty treating and managing chronic and myofascial pain. In his search for answers he studied with the late Janet Travell, MD, then recognized as the world’s leading expert in treating myofascial pain disorders. He now teaches doctors and other providers, and leads a clinical team that understands that pain generally comes from a lifetime of injuries to fascia, and by healing most of it can be made to go away.
