Rafael Nadal To Receive Stem Cell Treatment

BARCELONA, Spain — Rafael Nadal’s doctor says the 14-time Grand Slam winner will receive stem cell treatment on his ailing back.

Angel Ruiz-Cotorro told The Associated Press by phone on Monday that, “we are going to put cells in a joint in his spine” next week in Barcelona.

The Spanish tennis star was already sidelined for the rest of the season after having his appendix removed last week.

Ruiz-Cotorro, who has worked as a doctor for Nadal for the past 14 years, said Nadal’s back pain is “typical of tennis” players and that the treatment is meant to help repair his cartilage and is similar to stem cell treatment Nadal received on his knee last year.

He said Nadal is expected to return to training in early December.

Several NFL players and baseball players have received stem cell treatment. Nadal’s fellow Spaniard Pau Gasol, center of the Chicago Bulls, received stem cell treatment on his knee in 2013.

Nadal experienced severe back pain during the final of the Australian Open in January when he lost to Stan Wawrinka.

“(Nadal) has a problem typical in tennis with a back joint, he had it at the Australian Open, and we have decided to treat it with stem cells,” Ruiz-Cotorro said.

He said that stem cells were recently extracted from Nadal for a cultivation process to “produce the necessary quantities.”

“When we have them we will put them in the point of pain,” he said, with the goal of “regenerating cartilage, in the midterm, and producing an anti-inflammatory effect.”

Nadal, now 28, won a record ninth French Open along with three other titles this season before a stunning loss to teenager Borna Coric at the Swiss Indoors in October dropped him to No. 3 in the ATP rankings. That tournament was only his third since Wimbledon due to a wrist injury.

The Mallorca island native has struggled with injuries over recent years.

A knee injury caused him to miss several months in 2012 before coming back to full strength to win 10 titles in 2013, including the US Open and again dominating at Roland Garros.

Nadal’s 14 Grand Slam titles ties him with Pete Sampras on the all-time list led by Roger Federer and his 17 victories.

Maintain Muscle and Activate Your Own Stem Cells. Maximize Healthy Living No Matter What Your Age

No matter what your age, you need muscle on your frame and you need to keep your own healthy adult stem cells activated. Every cell in the human body contains protein, and specialized protein in combination with growth and immune factor initiates the activation of your own adult stem cells.

Here are some important facts:

  • Muscle does burn more calories than fat. Ensure your protein intake is adequate. [The food pyramid was created several decades ago. It is therefore no surprise it has undergone numerous changes since the 1970s. When it was first created, it was actually upside down, with the carb allocation being way too high]. Dr. Perlmutter believes the carb allocation within the pyramid still remains way too high. Dr. Perimutter states ”Rather than having grains and high-glycemic produce at the base, these foods should be consumed in very small amounts – if at all. The base should be vegetables, high-quality proteins and healthy fats (ie. omega fats). A high-fat diet is far healthier for the brain than a high-carb diet.”.
  • We lose an average of 5% of our muscle mass every 10 years after the age of 35, and this is the best case scenario. For many, this muscle loss percentage is a lot higher due to bad diet, the wrong type of exercise or illness. Incorporate resistance training into your exercise regime to ensure you build and maintain muscle mass, no matter what your age.
  • Humans lose fat as well as muscle when they go on a diet. Beware of fad, quick weight loss diets. Yo-yo dieting is very damaging to your metabolism. It will grind your metabolism to a standstill, and once you start eating normally again, you will gain weight with the vengeance. Aim to lose weight slowly with a steady weight loss and exercise regime. Eat a portion of protein with every meal when dieting as this keeps muscle loss to a minimum and maintains fat loss.
  • Time takes its toll on your own adult stem cells. At 65 years of age, the release rate of adult stem cells entering the bloodstream from the bone marrow drops by 70% to 80%. The good news is it is now possible to keep adult stem cells activated whether you’re 18 or 80 years of age.

Adult stem cells are the master cells of your body. They have the ability to maintain, self-renew and repair cells, tissue and muscle throughout your entire lifetime. These cells are often referred to as autologous, haematopoietic (blood), mesenchymal or stromal stem cells. Having active adult stem cells provides abundant energy, improved mental clarity, anti-inflammatory response, super charges the immune system, and ensures overall cellular repair and renewal throughout your entire body.

Stem Cell Worx is the world’s only natural stem cell supplement in an intraoral spray application (sprayed under the tongue for maximum absorption of its nutrients). It also contains specialized protein, natural immune and growth factors that are absolutely essential to initiate the stimulation of your own adult stem cells.  All product claims are backed by independent clinical studies and research.

Ensure you continue to build and maintain lean muscle mass and keep your own healthy adult stem cells activated. These two components are essential in terms of your overall quality of health and well-being.
