Kris Gethin introduces listeners to the CPI Institute, where he receives stem cell treatments. He and Nelson discuss CPI’s history and background, noting its evolution from a cancer treatment facility into a cutting-edge stem cell therapy center. Nelson, a co-founder of CPI and a seasoned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, shares how his journey from martial arts led him to the world of stem cells.
Nelson explains that CPI’s primary focus has always been on treating cancer patients through cellular therapies, which laid the groundwork for its innovative approach to stem cell therapy. CPI has integrated techniques used to treat cancer patients into therapies for athletes, enhancing their recovery and overall performance. As Nelson notes, the challenge of training a dendritic cell to target cancerous tumors is even more complex than using stem cells for joint and tissue repair.
CPI’s unique approach combines stem cell therapy with biohacks like hyperbaric oxygen, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy, ozone IV, and NAD treatments. These tools detoxify the blood and boost the body’s natural healing processes, setting CPI apart from other clinics. “It’s all about preparing the body for stem cells,” says Nelson, as he describes how each component is essential for achieving maximum therapeutic benefits.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, for instance, is an integral part of CPI’s approach. According to Nelson, CPI’s large hyperbaric chambers deliver pressurized oxygen deep into the body’s tissues, boosting healing in areas like joints and spinal discs that typically have limited blood flow. This helps stimulate a stronger immune response, essential for patients recovering from both sports injuries and chronic illnesses.
Nelson highlights the advantages of CPI’s location in Mexico, which allows the institute to conduct procedures not yet permitted in the United States. This includes using advanced stem cell types, such as those derived from hypoxic umbilical cord blood, cultivated to ensure they thrive in low-oxygen environments. Nelson explains that CPI’s approach also involves a process called “cell cleaning,” making these cells more bioavailable and effective at targeting injuries or promoting anti-aging benefits.
In the U.S., restrictions limit how stem cells are prepared, but CPI’s licensing as a cancer research hospital grants it greater flexibility to offer innovative therapies. Nelson emphasizes that this advanced care is often provided at a fraction of the cost patients would pay in the U.S., with enhanced results.
While CPI primarily attracts professional athletes from combat sports, Nelson explains that the institute’s reach is broadening. People come to CPI for both injury recovery and preventative care. From professional poker players seeking cognitive enhancement to young athletes aiming to prolong their careers, CPI’s therapies cater to a wide range of clients.
For those preparing for competitions, CPI’s treatments can boost endurance and lung function. Nelson notes that around 40-60% of IV-administered stem cells go directly to the lungs, reducing inflammation and scarring, which in turn enhances athletic performance.
Nelson shares powerful stories about patients who have experienced life-changing results at CPI, including athletes who’ve returned to competition in record time. He cites a particular case where a rugby player felt no improvement until nearly 90 days after treatment, when he suddenly experienced significant healing, allowing him to return to full activity.
Athletes like Rafael Lovato Jr., a Bellator champion, have returned to peak condition in as little as seven days post-treatment, highlighting the rapid recovery that many experience. Others benefit from long-term anti-aging effects, with stem cells continuing to repair and regenerate tissues for up to three months after treatment.
Nelson advises a downtime of about 30 to 90 days for those undergoing stem cell therapy to allow for maximum recovery. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring new injuries during this period to ensure that the stem cells focus on the primary areas needing treatment. CPI provides an integrated approach, combining PEMF therapy post-treatment to promote cell replication and boost overall healing.
Nelson concludes by underscoring CPI’s commitment to advancing both cancer treatment and sports medicine through stem cell therapy. By utilizing technology often reserved for life-threatening conditions, CPI offers a level of care that helps athletes and other clients achieve long-term wellness and recovery.
For those interested in exploring stem cell therapy, CPI offers free consultations and encourages patients to learn more about their comprehensive and innovative approach. With its roots firmly planted in both advanced cancer therapies and elite athletic recovery, CPI continues to lead the way in cellular therapies and holistic wellness.
